EVENT DESCRIPTION

Para Site is delighted to present the group exhibition ‘signals…瞬息’ curated by Billy Tang and Celia Ho. The exhibition marks the first chapter of the new direction for Para Site and will feature a series of commissions and existing works in dialogue with an experimental display structure that will transform throughout the exhibition.‘Signals’ in the context of the exhibition are modes of kinetic art, communication, actions, and interventions to create a chain of reactions. As such, the participating artists will make use of cues including sound, smell, movement, and smoke to interrogate complex issues related to dispersed communities, migratory flows, and the intersection of technology, science, and architecture.

The exhibition will unfold over three phases: ‘signals…storms and patterns’ (opening 17 March) will focus on self-organisation and the politics of space in contemporary artmaking; ‘signals…folds and splits’ (opening 2 June) will in turn reflect on the temporality of artworks and alternative economies of time; and finally, ‘signals…here and there’ (opening 4 August) will explore dispersal as a strategy to think about contemporary global issues through the lens of Hong Kong.

Participating artists of ‘signals…storms and patterns’ (18 March–28 May 2023): Christine Sun Kim, Linda Chiu-han Lai, Candice Lin & P. Staff, Pratchaya Phinthong, Printhow, James Richards, So Wing Po, Mika Tajima, Tang Kwok Hin, Truong Cong Tung, with atmospheric interventions including a publishing project by Wing Chan and a broadcasting project by Wan Ing Que, Elaine W. Ho, and Kunci Study Forum & Collective with the School of Improper Education.
