Paratissima is a vibrant artistic event dedicated to promotion of works by young artists and creative individuals, and experimentation of dynamic, interactive forms of performance for a wide audience.

An active curator, Shi Jian is passionate about communication between eastern and western art and cultures. He has extensive experience in managing and facilitating a variety of cultural and artistic activities, including art exhibitions, performance, fashion shows, and academic seminars. The first Asian Project, with a unique focus on contemporary pursuit of traditional Chinese aesthetics and philosophy, will appear in the eleventh edition of Paratissima, 4-8 November 2015.
The Paratissima Europe-Asia Artists Residency Program will be launched in 2016.
