Albert Van Der Weide, artist in residence at the CEAC, Art College of the Xiamen University, lives in the Netherlands. Since 1977 he makes drawings, paintings, sculptures and is doing performances or projects. His work was on show in museums and galleries in Europe and the USA. His exhibition in the program of the CEAC is the first presentation of his work in China.

The project of the artist in Xiamen has been inspired by what he saw of daily life in the city of Xiamen. Just by looking around at the behavior of the people and meeting the people, the mobility, the building and urban planning, the food and drinks, the trees, stones and water. These observations were recorded in notes, drawings and photos. Three art works are the outcome of it and these works will be exhibited in the CEAC.
