WALDEN
by CAROLINE HA THUC
walden village
Walden village is a small open house dedicated to artistic creation and the sharing of experiences. Each year, it welcomes one or two artists in residence and is transformed into a workshop, playground, exhibition and meeting place.
Opened in July 2022, Walden Village has been since then home to Movana Chen, Raphaële de Broissia, Cyril Carret, Maung Day and Jaffa Lam.
​
In Mai 2024, the house will host Vietnamese-American artist Trong Gia Nguyen.
Burmese artist Thynn Nwe will stay during the summer 2024.
​
Different programs will be offered over the months:
The Bench
The Walden village bench is a welcoming space that links the intimacy of the house and the outside. It embodies the artist's back and forth between inner and outer worlds. The residences of this program thus operate in an open studio, with the possibility of following the artist in his work
Pas de deux
The Pas de Deux residences invite a local artist and an Asian artist based in Walden village to dialogue artistically throughout the space of the little house for several weeks.
