Curatorial Statement Lights off the empty exhibition space Hollow Dark it has nothing it has only itself   Without exhibits, the exhibition space is just being there and waits for the next rebirth each exhibition is a rebirth of the exhibition space and becomes a new self   Then you read a promotional leaflet you read an exhibition title you write down the date and time you plan to go to this exhibition Then on the day you have written down you walk to somewhere which is either familiar or unfamiliar you walk into an exhibition space you see an exhibition about the exhibition space itself you see it showing itself within it and then you ask where the works are this is just an empty and dilapidated field of nothing   Later I write down the day I walk to somewhere which is either familiar or unfamiliar I walk into an exhibition space I see an exhibition about the exhibition space itself I see it showing itself within it I hear the voices of this exhibition space I read the whispers of thoughts of this exhibition space I see the images of memories of this exhibition space   Later as he wished he touched the moment of its rebirth he touched its transformed body and soul he measured its emotions within it and offered even the ambiguous Unrecognizable geometry Curator Introductioin Chang Hoi Wood Born in Hong Kong and studied architecture.

在海的某處，有無數失落的飄浮板塊。偶爾，他們會彼此靠近，相遇之處透過不同形式的碰撞，或接合、或推擠、或分離，生成不同的特殊地貌。這個相遇的過程是不可控但具可塑性。 由香港浸會大學栽種和平項目發起，項目包括邀請一班大學生、中學生以及香港藝術家以數個月的時間共處及一起進行創作，透過社區遊、小組分享、創作練習等互相認識及探索人際及社區和平的可能性。展覽嘗試透過一系列作品尋找人與人之間可變的距離與邊界，在行進的過程中以不同的方式追溯關係中的平衡點，同時連結於社區更廣結的脈絡中。 浮動可變的板塊之上挑戰我們與他者的信心，在平穩之前，願這過程帶你看見更廣闊的陸地。 Somewhere on the sea, there are countless sole floating platforms. Occasionally, they approach each other, at where they meet may generate different shapes of land through different forms of collision. They merge, push, or separate. The process of encounter is uncontrollable yet malleable. Initiated by the Cultivating Peace Project of Hong Kong Baptist University, it involves a group of university students, secondary school students and Hong Kong artists to meet and work together for several months. Through community tours, group sharings, creative exercises, etc., they get to know each other and explore the possibility of interpersonal and community peace. Through a series of works, the exhibition attempts to explore the changing distance and boundary between people, trace the balance point of relationship in the process, and at the same time connect to a broader context of the local community. Floating platforms challenge the trust between us and others. Before stability, may this process bring you to some wider lands. 展覽日期 Exhibition Period: 4-14/5/2023 11:00 - 19:00 地點 Venue: 1a space（香港九龍土瓜灣馬頭角道63號牛棚藝術村14號 Unit 14, Cattle Depot Artist Village, 63 Ma Tau Kok Road, To Kwa Wan, Kowloon, Hong Kong） 開幕 Opening: 日期 Date: 4/5/2023 (四 Thur) 時間 Time: 17:30-18:30 地點 Venue: 香港九龍土瓜灣馬頭角道63號牛棚藝術村8號 Unit 8, Cattle Depot Artist Village, 63 Ma Tau Kok Road, To Kwa Wan, Kowloon, Hong Kong 參展藝術家 Participating artists: 島仔藝術 Dou Chai Arts 鄧國騫 Kwok-hin Tang Rajat Sharma 梁翠萍 Sally Leung 李卓媛 Sharon Lee 蕭俞 Zoe Siu 參與學校 Participating schools: 聖公會諸聖中學 S.K.H.

【FITS x Pro Helvetia Shanghai: Online Artist-in-Residence Programme】 Succeeding the spirit of Fill in the Space Artist-in-Residency, we are collaborating with Swiss Art Council, Pro Helvetia Shanghai to bring forth a new online residency programme. This time we invited Swiss multidisciplinary artist Alan Bogana to join us in a virtual community of research and art. To introduce the Hong Kong art scene and conduct exchanges with the artist, we gathered local art practitioners from various backgrounds to accompany the online resident. Visit 1a space's Instagram and Facebook to see what they went through during the online meetings. 【Artist's Biography】 Alan Bogana is a Swiss visual artist based in Geneva. Over the years, he has developed a multiform art practice involving installations, sculptures, time-based media, websites, virtual realities and holograms. His research focuses on the real and speculative behaviour of light as well as on the emergence of organic shapes and patterns by means of technological processes. His works delve into the mediating roles that technoscience cultures play in our perceptions, in our understanding of reality and in the construction of our notions about nature. He completed a Fine Arts Diploma with honours at the Geneva University of Art and Design in 2009 and a specialization in artistic research methodologies at the Zürich University of Art and Design in 2013.

1a space is pleased to announce an open call for trio group(s) composed of an artist, a curator and a researcher to participate in the Mid-Career Artist Exhibition & Publication Series. In response to the shortage of mid-career retrospectives in Hong Kong and the need of documenting and researching the local art ecology, we aim to initiate a long-term commitment to a series of comprehensive solo exhibitions and high-quality publications dedicated to mid-career artists. Through demonstrating an artist’s creative process in a thorough and inclusive manner to the general public, the project serves to acknowledge and encourage prolonged artistic practices. In addition, by facilitating dynamic collaborations between leading Hong Kong artists, curators, and researchers, we hope to invite reflections upon different roles and possibilities in exhibition-making. We seek to support a trio consisted of an artist, a curator, and a researcher, to realise a solo exhibition at the 1a space gallery in early 2022, coupled with an artist monograph publication. Pairing a deserving curatorial talent with a mid-career artist, the survey exhibition is expected to make visible the progression of an artist’s journey, demonstrating how an artist reflects, reconfigures and rejects idea. The project also sees curatorial research as a core component in tandem with exhibition planning. We intend to develop cohesive and well-contextualized retrospectives that fill in the gap between larger public institutions and commercial galleries. In accompany with the exhibition, public programmes such as artist talks and guided tours will be organized, inviting the local community to interact with the artist, curator and researcher, and to expand related discussions. To further anchor the exhibition in the wider local art discourse, the selected researcher will be responsible to conduct research and produce essay(s) focused on the artist. The publication shall include, but is not limited to, introductory essay(s), biographical information on the artist, analyses of works of art, artwork illustrations and installation images of the exhibition. While the exhibition and related programmes are temporal events, the academic monograph produced will continue to contribute to the research of local art as a helpful and permanent resource. Successful applicants will receive: - Administration and venue support - Publication support (including book designing, artwork and exhibition photography support, ISBN registration, collecting and sorting out cataloguing details, etc.) - Production fee for each participating artist, curator and researcher - Press materials and PR support Eligibility: - Applicants must be living and working in Hong Kong, or Hong Kong artists/curators/researchers living and working abroad.

1a space announces that “Per/Platform Live Art Festival” has been cancelled. We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience caused.

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.

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. Thomas' art practice consisted of daily life, places, and historical events through painting and drawing. Exploring the possibilities of painting languages and painting material. Harrison Wong Harrison Wong is a Hong Kong-based artist. His artistic practices includes new media, contemporary mobile, digital and analogue photography, graphic arts and interactive media. His interest is influenced his intricate network of consciousness. After his transition from interactive design to visual arts, he begins experimenting with mixed-media works in a contemporary way, a way he cannot resist in this hectic and interlaced home town.

Per/Platform Live Art Festival 2021 13 - 22 August 2021 📍 1a space, Cattle Depot Artist Village Artists: Chen Shi Sen Sanmu, Natasha Cheung, Ip Pui Pui, Florence Lam, Lai Chun Ling, Ashley Leung, Ma Wing Man Mandy, Jing Pang, To Yeuk, Hoiyu Tsang, Milo Tse, Virtue Village, Cas Wong, Siu Fong Yeung, Monique Yum, Yuen Hiu Lam The theme for Per/Platform 2021 is Light. In its essence, light is a form of of energy. It is white and iridescent. It has been regarded as the symbol of life and intellectual enlightenment. In Chinese, light originates from a human body in action - the ancient character for light resembles a kneeling person lifting a fire bowl. Similarly, performance art is rooted in the temporal and physical co-presence of the artist’s body in relation to time and space, manifested through action. Co-curated by Juliana Chan and Florence Lam, Per/Platform brings together artists both new to and experienced in performance art, to explore the boundless ways of experimentation in the live medium and to interpret the theme of light physically, metaphysically and metaphorically. 🟨🟩🟦
