Happy Stacking
Nanling, Guangdong Province, China
2008 ongoing


Happy Stacking is a project by Grizedale Arts in collaboration with Vitamin Creative Space and the Zhongheng Ecotourism Development Company, China. The basic plot is to send a group of seven artists and curators to the mountain village of Nanling in Guangdong Province to look at how this remote settlement, is reacting to global cultural change and to see how artists can be useful in helping in this process of change and how artists and art itself can, in turn, be changed for the better.
