Hello all,
As I introduced in the second part of the class, there is a workshop organised along the coming exhibition in Arts Centre “Cities of Desire” For this occasion, some artists from Vienna are in HK, and are also motivated to meet a few students who would have interest to participate in the workshop around the idea of “alternative strategies of place-making”. This will end by a seminar on 12th of September in Arts Centre. This could be a chance to see how they work, and as well as to interact with them and share ideas. There shall be a gathering this week end (probably Saturday lunch time). I have put their website so that you could have a better idea on their works. Interested students could contact me by email.
