Cache has now hosted residency programs for three consecutive years and worked with a total of six artists. In association with the Goethe-Institut China, CACHE space provided work stay for artists in all art fields. During a work stay of six to eight weeks in Beijing, each artist who were based in China would have an opportunity to work on their own projects, took in new artistic stimuli and made contact with creative artists. The work stay focused on the artistic creative process and methodology, and explored the meaning of dialogues and communication. And artists presented their projects at the end of the residency program.
