- Wendy TAI Current opens on July 31 at FPC. Opening reception begins 6:00pm
#1 The gallery floor is covered in charcoal portraits. The portraits are drawn from a bird’s eye view, as if looking down at a mass of mingling people from above. It could be you. We are socially conditioned to treat artwork as precious and sacred – we speak softly in museums, we maintain respectable distance, we are never to touch the work. The museum as sanctuary; the museum as mausoleum. This piece is the opposite of untouchable art. You enter the space, you walk around, you smear the charcoal under your feet. Activating the space means wiping out the drawings. Or perhaps you are adding to the drawings through movement? The art exists only through its own obliteration. #2 Movements, flows, currents. … July 24th, 2010 | Tags: art-making, contemporary art, installation arts, Wendy Tai | Category: ART NOTES, EXHIBITIONS, NEWS | Leave a comment |

"Floor Drama 2" (2010 / Linda Lai / video floor projection)
- Linda C.H. Lai Voices Seen, Images Heard (2009), which will be shown for the first time in Hong Kong, tonight at FPC’s inauguration, has been shown in two different festivals in April, 2010. I have been most enlightened by the various ways audience, critics and curators communicated back to me about my work. It opens up new angles for self understanding. In this short preview, I’ll cite some of these views… No single story; collecting, collating, and ‘writing’ history “Voices Seen, Images Heard is an alternative historiography written in the form of visual ethnography and travelogue. The director tries to write the history of Hong Kong with a variety of her collections including photos, paintings, movies, and newsreels, but … May 22nd, 2010 | Tags: art-making, issues, Linda Lai, visual ethnography | Category: ART NOTES, EXHIBITIONS, FEATURES | Leave a comment |

- Jolene Mok 
"Untitled" (2010, Jolene Mok) What to learn? What not to learn? We have to learn how to learn. What if we don’t want to learn but, still, we have to learn? Do we learn if we don’t want to learn? All of the above are the questions I had in mind when I started this visual ethnographic project. To me, learning is always a problematic process. Apart from standard schooling, I was lucky to have had the chance to learn ballet, squash, table tennis and piano-playing in my childhood years. I had been, continuously, learning all these skills for more or less 10 years. However, for the past decade, I have not kept any of these practices and have, in fact, avoided contact with any of them. With all the time I spent, all … May 20th, 2010 | Tags: art-making, everyday culture, Jolene Mok, visual ethnography | Category: ART NOTES, EXHIBITIONS | One comment |

喫飯啦 ﹣餐桌前的家 - Cheung Yu-tsz 
"Wash your hands before dinner" (Cheung Yu-tsz / 2010)
Searching through my childhood memories, besides roaming around with my buddy friends, I find dinner with my family leaving the strongest impressions. My mother, the housewife of the family, cooked every meal for me and my brother. I especially like summer-night dinners. Dad was often gone for business. Mom would temporarily abandon the family dinner table, which was mostly used for visitors, and, instead, use the little table by the doorside where we did homework to serve dinner. Mom liked to leave the door to our flat open, and so brother and I sat around that little folding table, sensing the summer breeze from the corridor, smelling the food mom just brought out and ate happily……Those were to me moments of felicity. Like … May 19th, 2010 | Tags: art-making, everyday culture, visual ethnography, Yu-tsz | Category: ART NOTES, EXHIBITIONS | Leave a comment |
