The Elisabeth de Brabant Art Center is proud to announce that from March 7 to 11, artist Caitlin Reilly and Xiao Hui Wang will be participating in the “Centennial Celebration of Women in Art—World Artists’ Exhibition” that will take place March 7 thru 11 at the Shanghai Art Museum in commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the International Women’s Day.

This event has been organized by the Shanghai Women’s Federation in cooperation with Consular Spouses Shanghai, Shanghai Artists Association and Shanghai Female Artists Association, as well as the Shanghai Art Museum. The exhibition will be curated by Mati Cuenca from MoCA.


Caitlin Reilly studied Visual art at Southern Cross university, Australia Majoring in Painting and Print making. In 2006 she was invited to study at the Slade school of art and at the Chelsea school of art. In her own words, she describes her "Suspended Arrival" series:

"Suspended Arrival is a body of work on paper that is underpinned by an autobiographical subtext.

My work is a direct response to my surroundings, daily comings and goings and a reflection of my environment both physically and emotionally. By working quickly a suspension of conscious knowledge was shaped into a coherent whole. The outcome was a layering of histories and surfaces that held mistakes to ransom, their erasure becoming an extension that expanded an understanding of a continuing transformative experience of place.”
