Final Exhibition by Scholarship Recipient Tang Xuecun

Chinese artist Tang Xuecun from Taicang will be an artist-in-residence at the Kommandantenhaus Dilsberg from July 20 to August 23, 2026. During her five-week stay, she will focus on the landscapes and everyday moments of the surrounding area. Using the “wandering perspective” (youguan) and the brush techniques of traditional Chinese painting, she aims to create works that capture fleeting impressions and atmospheric “snapshots of life” in the region. Following the Chinese concept of gewu zhizhi—the exploration of things to expand knowledge and understanding—the artist views the careful observation of the external world as a path to inner insight. Her works thus open a gentle dialogue between Chinese and Western cultures of perception. The works in this final exhibition include both the artist’s affectionate retrospective on her hometown of Taicang and her new works. Introduction: Julia Philippi **Admission:** free
