Vision
Creating new forms of artistic cooperation between Europe and Asia
01.
A transnational curatorial platform
FUQIAO conceives, develops, and supports contemporary art projects connecting artists, institutions, and partners across Europe and Asia.
02.
Curating as a practice of relation
An exhibition is not merely a collection of works. It creates situations in which practices, narratives, spaces, cultures and audiences encounter one another.
03.
Singular and experimental projects
FUQIAO develops exhibitions, artistic dialogues, commissions, residencies and mediation formats, each one grounded in the unique vision of the artist and curatorial research.
04.
New models of cultural cooperation
The platform combines artistic ambition, international development, innovation and operational structuring to enable projects that transcend conventional frameworks.
01.
Singularity
Respecting the distinctive practice of each artist.
02.
Reciprocity
Building exchanges that transform both sides.
03.
Experimentation
Inventing new curatorial and mediation formats
04.
Continuity
Developing lasting institutional relationships.
A bridge connects two shores. Yet it belongs to neither.
A bridge connects two shores.
Yet it belongs to neither.
浮桥
FUQIAO means “floating bridge.”
A bridge that does not impose itself upon the landscape.
A bridge that moves with the currents.
A bridge that shifts with forms, languages, and memories.
We do not seek to erase distances.
We seek to make them fertile.
Between Europe and Asia,
Between still and moving images,
Between the intimate and the collective,
Between what appears and what disappears,
We create spaces of relation.
We believe that an exhibition can become a threshold,
That a work can open a passage,
That a dialogue can produce a territory that did not exist before.
Not to connect worlds imagined as fixed,
but to accompany the new forms
that emerge when they meet.
Daniel Duhautbout
Founder and Curatorial Director
This sentence immediately establishes the relationship between my previous experience and my present role.
Daniel Duhautbout founded FUQIAO on the belief that contemporary art requires new models of cooperation between artists, institutions, territories, technologies and economic partners to transform.
He has a professional background in innovation, entrepreneurship, and international development. He has conceived and led projects that have brought together research, healthcare, digital technologies, public institutions and international partners.
This experience has taught him how to refine a vision, combine different forms of expertise, and convert a complex concept into a structured, fundable, and executable project.
At FUQIAO, he puts these capabilities at the service of contemporary art.
The intention is not to transfer technology industry methods directly into the art world, but rather to draw upon an innovative culture to invent new production, cooperation, mediation and circulation methods for artistic projects.
His curatorial approach pays particular attention to practices that explore time, memory, perception, displacement and the transformation of identity.
The concept of the ‘Between’ is central to his approach, representing the space in which works, cultures, and disciplines interact without losing their individuality.
