Beijing-based artist Cao Fei is recognised for her highly conceptual practice that deals with a myriad of themes, among them the digital revolution, globalisation, China’s rapid rate of urbanisation, popular culture, the metaverse, architecture, family and sentimentality. Her solo exhibition, My City is Yours 欢迎登陆 gathers nearly thirty years of work across VR, installation, and film mediums. Cao is one of the three major artists featured in this summer’s Sydney International Art Series.

Gaetano Pesce is an autodidact of sorts. Having sustained a successful career in architecture from a young age, Pesce learned early on that buildings and objects are not only functional, but also vessels for creative and philosophical thought. “I was influenced by this idea that an object is not only a chair where you sit; the chair as a form or a concept makes people think. And that is very important,” he triumphantly tells us.
