What happens when a DADA tent pops up on Spring’s terrace?

Join us to find out on Thursday, June 19, when a 5-metre-wide mobile museum that was originally a rescue tent but which now features a 3-channel video projection will appear at Spring on its trip across Hong Kong, moving from community to community, giving and taking, collecting and archiving. Artists MAP Office will send a team of scouts into the neighborhood to gather color and report back.

The tent represents a temporary foothold in Hong Kong for the Cabaret Voltaire, birthplace of DADA.  An initiative of Zurich University for the Arts curated by Hayat Erdogan, the tent called “Dada on Tour”, will set up in different locations across Hong Kong, wandering our city like Polytropos, or Odysseus the Wanderer, changing by collecting, mapping and exchanging stories and ideas.

The Permeability of Certain Matters is an exhibition at Spring featuring Christodoulous Panayiotou’s new photography works in concert with Philip Wiegard’s handmade wallpaper.

Panayiotou embarked on a project in China’s Guangdong province, researching what has become home to the world’s largest concentration of artificial flower factories, arranging and photographing some of his finds, while Wiegard directed production of a handcrafted wallpaper made by 32 Hong Kong children over the course of an eleven-day workshop.   Topics such as production, representation, economy and the history of child labor are central to the exhibition.

Visit the exhibition:
12pm to 6pm (Tuesday to Sunday)
Open all public holidays
Until July 13, 2014

The last act of the Moderation(s) project is open now at the Witte de With Center for Contemporary Art in Rotterdam until August 17, 2014.  Please stop in to visit if you find yourself in Holland.
