How to develop art works and life career is probably the problem that all the artists have been concerned about, such as balancing art and life, building a network of connections to keep themselves in a world where they want to be, and so on. This time, Art Parlour talked about the importance of collaboration. From the perspective of my personal experience, when I was in China, there have not too many chances for me to collaborate with other artists, however in WCA I have got many chances to do, including curation and collaborate works, and felt gained a lot.

After this course, I plan to back to China, due to the current art environment in China, to find a job to maintain life, at the same time continuing to do art is a more difficult thing. Fortunately, I have lived and study art in Beijing for many years, and have achieved an undergraduate degree in 2014. During the education, I have a lot of friends who are artists, and that could be regarded as a network. Most of them have a studio. I would like to find a place where I can continue to work and then be a part of the network, and I think it will brings more benefits and opportunities. I also felt very precious of the relationship established in London, often share ideas and information, often keep in touch will do a great help to the artist's development.
