I am pursuing a 3 month arts residency with Red Gate Gallery in Beijing, China from August to October, 2007. During this residency I will be exploring and researching the Chinese relationship with singing insects such as orthoptera [grasshoppers, crickets and katydids] and homoptera [cicadas].
As part of the research associated with this residency I am collecting popular myths/beliefs/memories/stories/hearsay from as many contributors as possible. If you have any stories associated with cicadas, crickets, grasshoppers or katydids I would be very grateful if you would share them with me for this project. Many of these stories will be included in real world and online exhibition material and all contributors will be credited. Please email the attached doc to info[at]ciclover[dot]com Please pass this on to anyone interested. Thanks very much.
