Training and background[edit]

Lico Fang grew up in Wuhan. She studied literature at CCNU (Central China Normal University) in Wuhan. From 1999 to 2011, Fang worked as an author and cultural journalist in Tokyo. During this time, she wrote for various journals and magazines, such as the Architectural Society of China's "A+a" (Architecture & art) magazine, Modern Weekly, Life Week's art section, as well as GQ, Surface and Vision. In 2011, Fang returned to China and took a position as planning director at Crystal CG in Beijing. In 2013, she left Crystal CG and moved to Düsseldorf, Germany, where she began working as a freelance curator. In 2016, she brought to life the international art platform TAIFUN Project.[1]

Taifun Project[edit]

With Taifun Project, Lico Fang and her colleague Marc Franz develop and realize artistic projects with different social and artistic issues. The aim is to "connect voices from different fields of society, in order to initiate dialogues and debates with social, scientific, artistic and cultural-political relevance."[2] In collaborating with national and international partners, they engage in cross-disciplinary projects.[2] Taifun project's activities range "from artistic research programs, artist residencies and interdisciplinary forums to exhibitions, symposia and cross-disciplinary art events, as well as its own productions, for example virtual 360° tours, film or book productions."[2]
