Within the Artist-in-Residence Program, CCA is delighted to host the young artist Sean Tseng. Born in 1995, he studied BA Advertising in Taiwan until 2018 and obtained a MA in sculpture in the Royal College of Art, United Kingdom. In 2022, he started a second MA in the branch Philosophy. His medias are mostly photography, sculpture and installation. He makes full use of the spaces in which he works, creating a clear, fragmented aesthetic that plays on our perception. He often works with usual find objects, fruits, natural or artificial light and shadows. He is concerned by the passing time and the movement theory, and an impression of a floating almost-immobility can be felt in his exhibitions. He currently lives and works in London and Taipei and will be staying in Studio Amarillo during August 2023.

Within the Artist-in-Residence Program, CCA is delighted to host artist Rebecca Brodskis.
Born in 1988 in France, she spent her childhood between France and Morocco, immersing herself in the life and culture of both countries. She studied Painting at the Beaux Arts de Paris and then at the Central ST. Martins in London. Interested in the complexity of peoples and societies, she began and successfully completed an MA in sociology. Rebecca mainly paints portraits, using desaturated colours.

She currently lives and works in Paris and will be staying in Studio Azul during August 2023.

Within the Artist-in-Residence Program, CCA is delighted to host artist Laida Lertxundi. Born in 1981 Spain, she studied Arts at Bard College in New York from 1999 to 2003 and she holds an MFA from the California Institute of the Arts in Los Angeles since 2007. Lertxundi is an artist and filmmaker. Entangling the sublime and the critical, her 16mm films capture collective, improvised gestures and diegetic sound events within a variety of natural landscapes.
Combining conceptual rigor with sensual pleasure in a process she calls Landscape Plus, her films establish parallels between landscape and the body as centers of pleasure and experience. Lertxundi’s work is invested in landscape as both an artistic tradition and a particular set of regional characteristics, idioms and inhabitants — from the deserts of California to the dramatic mountains of her native Basque Country. Laida lives between Bilbao and Paris and will be staying in Studio Verde during August 2023.

Before that, she studied Philosophy. Her sculptures, installations and collages revolve around the topics of time’s folding and falling. Through an arrangement of fragments and sharpened triangles, she attempts both to explore a "lost gaze" and to find a « new way of seeing ».
