In 2022, the Points expand and officially launch a new artist residency in London and Wales in UK to encourage diverse, multidisciplinary and experimental contemporary art making as well as to support artists from around the world to develop their work and research.
Troy House Art Foundation
The Troy House Art Foundation was established in London in 2017 by Shanghai-born artist and producer Yuan Gong to encourage exchanges in contemporary art and culture, particularly between Europe and Asia. To this end, Troy House | Art has been developed as a non-profit initiative, consisting of multimedia platforms currently spread across four locations in China and United Kingdom. Responding to the transformed cultural and social environment of the post-pandemic world, these platforms support aesthetic and environmental research and the production of experimental art, photography, video, and film that both reflect and comment on these changing circumstances.
