Institute for Provocation (IFP) is an independent arts organisation and working space founded in Beijing in 2010. By combining theoretical studies with artistic practice, the IFP promotes cultural exchanges and collective production. The IFP organises and supports different activities, such as artist residencies, research projects, debates, exhibitions, workshops, publications, and many more, in the belief that artistic processes are to be understood as an alternative way of producing knowledge.
chì-na is a cultural association founded in 2014 by Cosimo Balestri (architect), Emanuele Barili (architect), Luca Ficini (photographer), Alberto (architect and food designer), and Guido Gramigni (art historian). [chì-na] stems from the need to do something tangible and visible, promote a new understanding of wonder, create a platform where to share and develop passions and projects. Its premises are found inside an abandoned industrial warehouse located in Macrolotto 0, namely Prato’s Chinatown. [chì-na] aims at studying and deepening themes linked to culture, in its broadest meaning, by promoting them in a creative and multidisciplinary way.
