GREEN through the KAI TAK River
Looking at how art can become part of this process of sustainability and community development, 1a space will be holding GREEN – through the Kai Tak River, an exhibition curated by CHOI Yan-chi, featuring the works of Wallace CHANG Ping-hung and Marta BOHLMARK, CHOI Yan-chi, Alessandro CARBONI, Anson MAK Hoi-shan, and Lukas TAM Wai-ping. Drawing upon the diverse practices of each artist and a shared sensitivity to the environment, the exhibition attempts to take the first steps towards reestablishing the lost connection between man and the natural landscape.
The 1a space programme will also include a seminar on public art, How to Speak Green?, which will begin the process for public art proposals for the Kai Tak River district; a forum, City Planning and the Cultural Landscape, to be held at the end of October with speakers CHAN Koon-chung, Bono LEE Chiu-hing, LONG Tin, Wallace CHANG Ping-hung, CHOI Yan-chi, and CHAN Yuen-han; and the community-wide Windmill Festival 2009, involving workshops, seminars, a competition, and an exhibition of shortlisted entries to be held in November 2009.
