Patty Chang will come to HK next week and give a talk in Visual Art Center. http://www.aaa.org.hk/newsletter_detail.aspx?newsletter_id=727
I showed her works in SM1011. Remember the artist who cut her “breast” and shaved her pubic hair?

The 3rd edition now since 2007, October Contemporary has evolved into more than just a joint platform for contemporary art in HK. This edition specially brings in all art spaces and groups big and small, emerging and experimental…, not just to show, but think, make and act art.
The month-long program would be a good chance for us to survey the diversity, variety, repetition, strength and problems… of our local art scene.
Check out the month-long program here:

Para/site Art Space (PS) needs a group of volunteers to participate in the performance by artist Josechu Davila during the opening of the exhibition Insert Coin. (See yesterday’s post.) Information can be found www.para-site.org.hk
The artist needs a group of volunteers to “demonstrate” outside Para/Site. They will chant some sentences which are a bit non-sensical, and hold some banners. It is nothing illegal, more a post-Dada action.
Performance is Saturday, 10th October from 7,30 to 8,30.
The first 20 volunteers will receive: (1) HKD100; (2) an art work by the artist; and (3) a book bundle from PS
Volunteers beyond the first 20 persons will receive (2) and (3) ONLY.
Interested volunteers, please enlist with PS Educational Officer Sherona Chan (SCM graduate 2002) ASAP.
Please email:
sherona@para-site.org.hk
