Plus Gallery artist Xi Zhang is off to Buenos Aires next week for the month long artists residency program URRA. Zhang's journey to Argentina is one of the first programs supported by Platform 5280 Denver Biennial of the Americas, a major honor as Xi gets to represent Denver's thriving artistic community abroad and interact with over 13 artists from around the world. Zhang is also the only US based artist to be selected for the URRA program this year, so he will also be representing the country that recently approved his citizenship. Not a story that one would think of writing, but one that Zhang deserves for his artistic talent, not to mention his supremely cheerful nature. We'll post some images of Xi in Argentina over the next month, and for now will leave you with three of the most recent works to come out of his studio before his excursion.
Xi worked with Artlab students on holiday ornaments earlier this week at Denver's PlatteForum as part of the Platform 5280 residency selection program. Here's a photo of Xi working with the students
