Others Since 2006 Co-founder of SUMO STUDIO SUMO STUDIO is a group of 4 associated artists (Caroline Bouissou, Kuo-Wei Lin, Ludovic Méhauté and Shingo Yoshida.) who have in common a particular interest in public space and who have chosen to develop and push forward specific projects together along with their own practice. They work without any fixed studio. The nature of their interventions depends essentially on the places where they stay on a variable temporary basis (weeks, months). They are looking to redefine the site they are investigating and by doing so to reveal its social dimension and poetic potentiality. 2006-2007 Co-founder of LA CALAVERA A one year art forum project, LA CALAVERA base in Villeurbanne and Lyon in France. in collaboration with Pierre Bonnouvrier, Sarah Duby and Sébastien Basdevant.(artists) exhibition, workshop, discussion, production and diffusion. ** LA CALAVERA websiie http://la.calavera.free.fr/profile_files/kuoweicv.docshapeimage_1_link_0
