Money Supply: 4 episodes 貨幣供應：四種座標
"Money Supply" 《貨幣供應》 a show by Yasmine Huang, opened on a quiet Saturday on 11 May, to explore how art and social criticism may work together. The opening gathered a dozen of spontaneous visitors who readily turned her concern into ramifications of many burning questions of art beyond politics. 《貨幣供應》在晴朗溫煦的週末黃昏開幕，黃安瀾的四組作品是她對藝術創作與息息相關的生活、經濟課題可以如何銜接的策問，由研究出發，招引到場的來訪者恰巧都興致勃勃，把眼前的作品打開，引發各種與創作有關的閒談。
Concrete wandering in and out of C3A Cordoba: bitter oranges on the roadside 哥多華當代美術中心漫遊紀錄:僅能拾起一個個隨街掉落的橙子
王鎮海從「據點。句點」第一屆西班牙哥多華C3A駐場藝術家計劃回來，經過分享展出，三個月的經驗沈澱，輕淡的幾個星期的外遊回眷成為另類的藝術家駐場觀察，無拘的接連。「我卻終於淺嘗放慢生活節奏及專心創作的三星期，實在得來不易。」香港。哥多華。香港。FP Art Engineer Wong Chun-hoi has been back in Hong Kong from his C3A artist residency for several months, dropping concrete objects he created in a pop-up exhibition, tracing his footprints as an alien, and now weaving strands of existential moments -- an alternative way to "report" on the three weeks he spent in Cordoba. "Alas! I finally got to taste a bit of living slowly and focusing on making. This is nothing to be taken for granted," he said.

哥多華當代美術中心創作紀錄：定睛眼前，凝視過去，觀望宇宙 Documenting C3A Cordoba: site-specific views of the invisible and the potential
完成「據點。句點」第一屆西班牙哥多華C3A駐場藝術家計劃的Jessica Fu回顧一個月的體驗，再次覺悟她我的特定環境裝置作品往往是個引導體，領觀眾超越可見作品的本身朝向為可見的未來，應對數據爆發的時代的無助感。Jessica Fu completed her month-long residency in Cordoba's C3A, FP's first edition of artist's residency at Centro de Arte Contemporáneo, Cordoba, Spain. She understands her site-specific installations are often visible vehicles that lead their beholder to the unknown visible of the future and, personally, her response to a sense of helplessness living in a milieu of exploding data yet kept esoteric by authorities.
How might a beginning be an opening?
Zach McLane "returns" to FP with a new video work and expanded notes after his last and first visit to Hong Kong in September 2018. In renewed confidence of his own language, in words or images, Zach turned a strip of trashed 35mm film found in a backyard creek into the preserved evidence of an unknown yet concrete history. A documentary impulse of his pushed physical marks, scratches and patterning into the materialization of an absence now surfacing as perceivable forms and motions.

柔軟的齒輪 往 臺中國際動畫影展 2018 札記 Notes on TIAF 2018 (Taichung International Animation Festival)
FP Writer and Artist Winnie Yan's glimpses of the TIAF 2018 highlights how seeing differently in animation is rooted in the technology that evolves around and generates the art form. To some animation artists, the single frame, as opposed to the shot in live action film/video, is the basic unit of experimentation, or that all innovative animation works are intermedia in nature. Either way, the persistence of vision makes our eyes unique apparatus connecting to the world of the unknown imaginary.
Crossing the Distance Between Reading and Speaking
Zach McLane and Susan Lin, two fresh graduates from USC, visited the Floating Projects and activities associated with FP members all over Hong Kong a weekend in late September. Zach returns with a "dedication" to mark the brief moment of his trip which seems the new beginning of many things to come. And what about videography?
