Hangar invites artist Shu Lea Cheang* to share her secrets of artistic sustainability with the precarious art workers of Barcelona. For the last 25 years Shu Lea has lived exclusively from her art without needing to resort to selling drugs, working in the Post Office or serving in a bar. How has she managed to do it ? This is the question that she will be attempting to answer in this exclusive seminar open to anybody interested.
Departing from her success story, BRANDON (1998-1999), billed as the Guggenheim Museum's first web art commission, "the cyber equivalent of Bilbao" and I.K.U., a self-certified sci-fi porn that labeled her a cyberpunk classic,

Shu Lea would "EXPOSE" her project folders from 2000 to 2010 as she reviews her year by year business of conception, planning, accounting, sketching and scheming. Through this act of random file retrieval, Shu Lea reveals her "behind the scene" pleasure and desperation and discuss how she managed to 'fuck and get fucked" , PROFESSIONALLY!!
