This is Hong Kong

Kuandu Musuem of Fine Arts, Taipei

Para/Site Art Space is honoured to announce that the exhibition of This Is Hong Kong, a videoprogramme that includes 15 of the best Hong Kong contemporary artists, is going to Kuandu Museum of Fine Arts, Taiwan.

This Is Hong Kong is a videoprogramme that presents a selection of artists from Hong Kong which reflects on the idea of politics, history, architecture, postcolonial issues and daily life in this territory. Moving image has been one of the areas favored with an intense research in the creative practice of the Hong Kong art scene, and marks a stark difference with that of mainland China, reflecting on differences in cultural background and academic training. This Is Hong Kong presents a unique visual picture of what is Hong Kong now, through an analysis from video, providing a fresh snapshot of development of the territory after postcolonial devolution in 1997.

After successfully being shown in LOOP Festival in Barcelona (Spain), the programme has made its trip to LOOP Alternative Space in Seoul (Korea), Hamburg's Subvision Festival, EastSide Projects (Birmingham) and IFA Gallery (Berlin). "This is a great opportunity to show at an international level the vibrant art scene of Hong Kong", comments the curator Alvaro Rodriguez Fominaya. This international tour will conclude in Kunsthalle Wien (Austria) in March 2010.
