Founded in Beijing in 2010, the group Institute for Provocation (IFP) is an artistic organization and a working space that promotes cultural exchanges and production of a collective nature. IFP organizes and supports activities of various kinds, including artist residencies, research projects, debates, exhibitions, workshops, publications and so on, in the belief that artistic processes must be understood as alternative forms of the production of knowledge.
On the occasion of The Independent, Institute for Provocation is presenting the project Space Odyssey: an installation on wallpaper reproducing the physical environment of the IFP studio and the strata that make up its history and the micro-social dimension.
