至微的美學經濟／極盡的概念發揮
– Linda C.H. Lai
During the count-down fortnight to our inauguration exhibition (opening May 22), the FPC team had a series of studio meetings, dubbed ‘Studiologue’, in which we went through issues of artistic rigor of individual works, logistics, communication plans, display arrangement and so on, to the last possible details.
On May 11 (Tuesday), we met in the studio to get a general preview of the artworks each of us would present, matching concepts, purposes, display strategies and construction procedures. After that, I proposed the following guiding principles:
*simplicity of form, economy of presentation, tenacity of concept

What if one day you run into renowned contemporary artist Vito Acconci on a random street in the city where you live, what then?
Option A: Get on to greet Acconci and introduce yourself.

Thanks to Para/Site Art Space, Acconci and Ai were brought together to Hong Kong for a “Vito Acconci + Ai Wei Wei: Artists in conversation” (12th April 2010, from 6.30 to 8pm, HK Arts Centre), and the hypothetical scenario I cited above was no more hypothetical.

Linda Lai's autoethnography
Auto-ethnography [field study about oneself] is by definition an experimental form of ethnography. According to Catherine Russell, many key examples of experimental cinema and autobiographical films could be understood as auto-ethnography. Linda Lai will discuss this view, trace such a history, and shed light on the notion of auto-ethnography in the practice of contemporary art. Various examples by famous artists and Lai’s own video work will be used for illustration.
Title of talk: “Autoethnography: experimental ethnography / a hybrid creative practice”
