New artist arrival: Fred Van de Walle

Multidisciplinary artist Fred Van de Walle from Belgium arrives at the artist residence. 
Artistic focus: Visual Arts / Craft, Applied and Decorative Arts

Fred Van de Walle was born in Belgium and currently living and working in Switzerland. The artist has a background in shipwreck exploration, art conservation and cultural heritage.

During his residency he will investigate the transformation from the ancient Silk Road to today's China, where traditional trade routes have evolved into digital and high speed highways. He is curious about the new faces of this modern Silk Road in China and how they compare to the historical merchants. His works will try to reflect these changes in significant cities and hubs, both old and new.
