几点将艺术创作视为一个充满活力，公正和健康的社会之重要组成部分。国际艺术家驻留项目主要通过国际机构交换、公开征集及邀请驻留三种方式进行，面向所有类型的艺术家，也为策展人、作家、音乐家、科学家、研究人员等其它相关学科、跨领域专家提供相应内容。在驻留期间，几点将不定期举办相关展览和活动，同时该项目还将邀请其它相关研究人员介入，以在广泛的视野中产生对话。

International Residency Program

Points regards artistic creation as an important part of a vibrant, just, and healthy society. The international artist residency program is mainly conducted in three ways: through the exchange of international institutions, open recruitment, and invitation. It is aimed at all types of artists, and also curators, writers, musicians, scientists, researchers, and experts in other related disciplines and interdisciplinary fields. 

During their stays, Points will hold public outreach and education events from time to time. The project will also invite other relevant researchers to get involved to generate dialogue with a wide range of perspectives.

Points is located on the shores of Wubao Lake in the old town of Jinxi in Kunshan, Jiangsu province. It sits in a landscape criss-crossed by rivers and canals and the simple, ancient human environment that inhabits them. The center covers an area of about 2,000 square meters and has a pagoda-style pavilion at its heart. Standing in the center’s garden, you can feel the clean white pebbles on your feet. You can look at the open lake, and listen to the songs of fishing boats and chanting from the neighboring temple. 

Six guest rooms, a carpentry workshop, an exhibition hall, a reference room, a projection hall, and a small theater guarantee artists’ living and creative facilities during their stays, allowing them to devote themselves to the residency process and artistic creation.

In the future, Points will connect with more international institutions and build a close-knit communication network on a global scale.

Residency exhibitions｜Temporary special exhibitions 

Creative achievements during an artist's residency are usually presented in an exhibition. On the opening day of the exhibition, talks are held between artists, invited curators, scholars, and the public, and we are continuously open by appointment to provide a communication platform for arts institutions, arts workers, and the public.

讲座｜分享｜沙龙 

几点作为全球当代艺术的交流平台将不定期邀请来自世界各地的策展人、学者和驻地艺术家进行分享与交流。建立跨领域对话发生的空间，以激发艺术工作者创作灵感，促生实验性强的当代艺术作品。

Lectures｜Sharing｜Salons 

As a global exchange platform for contemporary art, we will occasionally invite curators, scholars, and resident artists from all over the world to share and exchange in the hopes of establishing a space for the kind of interdisciplinary dialogue that can inspire arts workers and promote experimental contemporary artworks.

Lectures and salons are open to the public by appointment.

公共教育活动 

公共教育活动的开展是与公众展开沟通交流的重要桥梁，几点同时致力于将艺术创作作为一种生活方式融入更多维度的社会层面中。与艺术中心中正在发生的驻留、展览相结合，发掘艺术文化的内在价值后推广及普及其人文价值、社会价值及专业知识，以创新的互动形式为公众提供深入了解艺术创作的契机，以活动嫁接大众与专业，建立纽带并引发思考与对话。

Public education activities 

The development of public education activities is an important bridge for communication and exchange with the public. At the same time, Points is committed to integrating artistic creation as a way of life into more dimensions of society. This communication combines with ongoing residencies and exhibitions in the center to explore the intrinsic value of an arts culture — promoting it and popularizing its humanistic and social value with professional knowledge — and provides the public with an opportunity to gain an in-depth understanding of art creation through innovative interactive forms. These events bridge the masses and professionals, building bonds and sparking thought and dialogue.

档案数据库建设 

几点当代艺术中心同时设立档案数据库建设项目，该项目是为艺术创作、研究、史志编纂及文化交流等工作不可或缺重要信息来源和保障。基于相关空间中的活动与展览之上，通过音频及影像记录创作过程、采访并深入了解艺术家及其作品，梳理并系统化相关数据资料，完善艺术家档案数据库。

旨在服务于全球范围内从事艺术和人文交叉领域研究的思想家与实践者，为学者深入研究和探讨艺术发展提供更加详实的资料。此外，将透过与其他知名出版平台合作，开展多元的文化活动和项目，加强跨学科创新领域的探讨，传播文化艺术精神。

Archive database construction 

Points Center for Contemporary has also established an archival database construction project. This project is an indispensable source of information that guarantees artistic creation, research, historical compilation, and cultural exchange. Based on the events and exhibitions in our and our partners’ spaces, audio and video recordings of creative processes and interviews contribute to an in-depth understanding of artists and their works. By sorting out and systematically correlating relevant data, we continually improve this artistic archive. 

It aims to serve thinkers and practitioners who are engaged in research at the intersection of arts and the humanities across the world, and provide more detailed information for scholars to study and explore in-depth the development of art. In addition, through cooperation with other well-known publishing platforms, we carry out diverse cultural activities and projects, strengthening interdisciplinary innovation and spreading the spirit of culture and art.
