IESA arts&culture was omnipresent at Nuit Blanche this year! With Christophe Beauregard, an instructor at IESA arts&culture on artist residencies, it organized “La Nuit Blanche des enfants” at the Mairie du XVIIIe in Paris, and a former student in Art Expertise and Trade, Jingwen Zhang, who worked with Galerie Liusa Wang as part of Nuit Blanche 2018.
The gallery presented “After Sunset,” a cabinet of curiosities of contemporary art. She answers our questions about her path during her Master in Contemporary Art in 2015 and her current position as a freelance communications professional for Galerie Liusa Wang.
