PoP - Ups is a collaborative work by Selena de Carvalho and Adrienne Kneebone. Selena and Adrienne are currently sharing the residency in Beijing.

The 24HR Art – International Studio Residency Program was launched in 2011 with the establishment of a large studio at Huantei Art City, Chaoyang District, Beijing. Through a new partnership between 24HR Art and Asialink the program is open to all Australian contemporary visual artists, however there is a focus on giving international professional development opportunities to artists from regional and remote areas.

The residency facility contains 400m2 of open studio space, wet areas, separate office and meeting room with computer and internet access, and private outdoor courtyard. The accommodation contains a large mezzanine apartment, fully self-contained kitchen, bathroom and laundry facilities, large living area and two air-conditioned double bedrooms. The studio and apartment have central heating.
The Huantei Art City area is a five minute push bike ride to galleries and restaurants of the 798 Art District, hardware shops, art supplies, supermarkets, fresh food markets and public transport.
