The response of “Fill in the Space” was overwhelming and we received many exciting proposals from different artists. After careful considerations and discussions, we have selected 6 artists as the artists-in-resident of the Programme and they have started their residency in early May. We are excited for their creation and exchange during the residency. Participating artists include: Meko Cheng Meko Cheng received her B.A fine art from the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology in 2019. Her work is about representation of material, weight and physical manifestation. Through its balanced structure, the material shows a limited relationship with time. Therefore, her works are often in a state of balance and imbalance, calmness and flow, showing the tension and contrast of materials. Dave Chow Dave Chow graduated from the Academy of Visual Arts, Hong Kong Baptist University, where he received his Bachelor Degree in 2015. He is especially interested in the meaning of objects and the physicality of materials. His works display and distill his everyday experience through appropriating, transforming and assembling ready-made objects and images. He currently lives and works in Hong Kong. He has held his first solo exhibition, “Switch on the Television When the Sun Sets” during the artist in-residency program in Experimental Sound Studio, Chicago. His works were also exhibited in various exhibitions, including “EQUILIBRIUM” (Foo Tak Building, Hong Kong, 2018), “Observe / Scrutinise / Perceive” (Gallery Exit, 2018) and “again and again” (common room & co., Hong Kong, 2018). Michele Chu Michele Chu is an interdisciplinary artist whose practice explores intimacy and human connection in her works, specifically the interplay between sensory elements and space, to amplify the emotional connection between individuals. Her works contemplate what makes us human, through mediums such as multi-sensory installations and street experiments, amongst others. Michele Chu is supported by soundpocket’s Artist Support Programme 2020–21. Jessica Fu Jessica Fu received her Master of Fine Arts from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago. She experiments with formlessness material and its metaphor to ask the philosophical question, “What is reality” through site-specific works. Her work has been exhibited internationally since 2010. She teaches part-time at various institutions in Hong Kong currently. Thomas Fung Thomas Fung graduated from the Fine Arts Department in The Chinese University of Hong Kong in 2019.

1a空間現就行為藝術節— —《現/場》誠邀來自各範疇的當代藝術創作者提交行為藝術項目提案。 由Juliana Chan和Florence Lam聯合策劃，藝術節將邀請多位資深及新晉本地行為藝術家，於7月至8月期間，將行為藝術帶進歷史悠久的牛棚藝術村中，以共同探究及實驗行為藝術形式。成功申請者將會獲得酬金與材料費，以及資深行為藝術家的專業指導。 行為藝術將「藝術」轉化為藝術家的一部分，而「藝術家」則轉化為周遭環境的體現、產物與回應。藝術家的行為變成了藝術的媒介。一位行為藝術家所需的基本「元素」故涵蓋了行為藝術家的身體、存在、身處的空間與時間。時間賦予作品的長壽性和短暫性，因而帶來了「現場」這特性。所以，於《現/場》中，我們能一同學習如何生而為人，及如何能通過藝術去表達及延伸這意念。 於2021年，我們誠邀藝術家以行為藝術作為媒介，探索理解「光」的方式。 本質上，光是一種能量形式，是白色，亦是虹彩的。它也一直被視為生活和知識啟蒙的象徵。如追溯文字的起源，「光」，在甲骨文裡的形狀是一個蹲跪着的人、上方有火。有人說那是奴隸跪著高舉火把為主人照明，也有人說那描繪了人在進行火占卜的儀式。雖這圖像存在著各種解讀，但它們同樣象徵著身體行動中的所產生的光。同樣，行為藝術的定義是以藝術家的身體在時間和物質上的共同存在來傳達意義為基礎。 報名詳情 - 此公開招募對象為18歲或以上、於香港居住及工作的年輕新晉藝術家。我們歡迎來自任何範疇、對行為藝術有興趣的當代藝術創作者。 - 申請人請將以下內容以一個不多於10頁及10MB的PDF檔案電郵至info@oneaspace.org.hk： o 申請人的藝術家自述，以概括過往的藝術創作與實踐 o 申請人的履歷表及作品集 o 申請人以英文或中文撰寫的行為藝術項目計劃書，英文字數上限為500字，中文為800字。計劃書中需提供與作品相關的影像、影片連結 (如有) 、作品大約需時及技術要求。 - 每一位藝術家限提交一份計劃書。報名截止時間為2021年5月23日(星期日) 下午7時。 遴選過程 所有申請將會經由1a空間代表和當代藝術專業工作者組成的委員會審核，並將會根據申請人的藝術造詣及合作潛質進行評估。 申請人義務 計劃要求成功申請者必須參加至少一次的公眾活動 (如藝術家分享會、公眾工作坊) 。獲選藝術家亦須遵守場地守則，以保護牛棚藝術村的歷史古蹟。

1a space is inviting artists from all disciplines within the field of contemporary art to submit performance art projects for the first edition of the live art festival Per/Platform taking place in the historical building of Cattle Depot Artist Village between July and August 2021. Co-curated by Juliana Chan and Florence Lam, the festival will host a dynamic programme of performances featuring both experienced performance artists and young artists, who are interested in exploring the practice. Successful applicants will be given artists honorarium and material fees, as well as guidance from established performance artists. In performance art, "art" is embodied within the people, and the people are embodiments, products, and responses to their surroundings. It is manifested by one's actions. The fundamental materials of a performance artist consist of one's very own body; one's presence; space, where the body can be; and time, which enables the longevity and the ephemerality of the artwork itself, the element of being "live". Thus, at the occasion of Per/Platform, we seek to learn together how to be human, and to express and develop it in the realm of art. For 2021 we invite artists to explore different ways of interpreting Light and express through performance how they understand light. In its most basic form, light is a form of energy. It is white and iridescent. It has been seen as the symbol of life and intellectual enlightenment. In ancient Chinese pictography, the character Light is represented by a kneeling person lifting a fire bowl. Some people believe it is a slave lifting the fire for the master while others think it depicts a scene of pyromancy, an art of divination by fire. While the meaning of the image remains a dispute, in both interpretations light originates from a body in action. Similarly, the definition of performance art is based on the temporal and physical co-presence of the performer’s body to convey meaning. Application Process - The open call is aimed at young and emerging artists aged 18 and above who are living and working in Hong Kong. We welcome artists working in the field of contemporary art with any disciplinary backgrounds who are interested in performance art. - To apply, please send the following documents in one PDF file within 10 pages and no larger than 10 MB in total to info@oneaspace.org.hk - An artist statement which provides an overview of the applicant’s artistic practice - CV and portfolio of the of the applicant. - Performance proposal of max 500 words in English or 800 words in Chinese. The proposal should include supported visual material of the performance, video links (if any), estimated duration of the performance and technical requirement. - Each artist is able to submit one proposal only. The application deadline is Sunday, 23 May 2021, 7pm. Selection Process Submissions are evaluated by a committee that includes representatives of 1a space and experts from the contemporary art field. Applications are evaluated based on the applicant’s artistic merit and the applicant’s potential for collaborations. Obligations The successful applicants may be required to take part in at least one public programming event (artist sharing, public workshop etc). The artist must comply with the rule in connection to the preservation of heritage buildings of Cattle Depot.
