At A4 International Residency Center, the Super Agents are more than just local contacts and “ground companions” accompanying the creators around Chengdu. By establishing real and frequent daily contact with the creators and helping to understand the history, culture, art and food of the neighborhood and city, the Super Brokers act as guides to the creators’ senses and co-creators of their art. What they learn about local culture and life often inspires the creators during their residency in Chengdu.
On July 27th, we gathered the Super Brokers again for the second Co-Creation. Using the upcoming artists in August as a planning simulation, the Super Brokers created a specific plan for visiting and experiencing the city. On the day of the event, creators Guda & Frans and Ge Yulu came to share their past works. The creators also went camping with the Super Agents at the end of the event at Maru, the home of one of this year’s Super Agents. Coinciding with Waterman’s Day, an intense water gun fight and paddle boarding experience brought the creators and Super Agents closer together.
