EVENT DESCRIPTION
Para Site is delighted to present ‘How to be Happy Together?’, curated by Zairong Xiang. Departing loosely from Wong Kar Wai’s Happy Together (1997), the exhibition enacts a critique of dualism—between intimate and antagonistic partners, between political entities, between ‘us’ and ‘them’, and even between ‘I’ and ‘me.
Artists: Nadim Abbas, Luis Chan, Luke Ching, Chu Ming Silveira, Abraham Cruzvillegas, Mimian Hsu, Pauline Curnier Jardin & Feel Good Cooperative, Ocean Leung, Liao Jiaming, Pan Daijing, Beatrix Pang, Ren Hang, So Wing Po, Tang Kwong San & Yuen Nga Chi, Wang Hong-Kai, Xiyadie, Caio Yurgel, Zhou Xiaopeng & Tang Han, Bruno Zhu, and Payne Zhu
Featuring over twenty artists from Hong Kong, its neighbouring localities, and Latin America, the exhibition alludes to Hong Kong’s clichéd status as a para-site ‘between east and west’, and ‘between tradition and modernity’, in order to interrogate encounters both imagined and real between two seemingly distant ends of the world. It engages with a wide range of artistic practices to spotlight overlooked historical, social, and cultural connections between Greater China and the world.
