Oct 18 | Wong Wai Yin: Without Trying Finissage
Without Trying |
|
|
The solo exhibition of Hong Kong artist Wong Wai Yin chronicles her attempts to recalibrate her life following the birth of her son. With this in mind, she embarks on a learning binge, and the resulting work is an adventure in identity shifting. Wong Wai Yin was an artist-in-residence at Spring Workshop from June through August 2016. The exhibition is curated by Christina Li. A companion publication featuring Wong’s personal reflections on art-making The ten seconds that determine whether A gets made into a work has been newly published and available at Spring.

Wong Wai Yin has invited fellow artist Sarah Lai to a conversation about their respective working processes. Moderated by curator Anthony Yung, the afternoon’s discussion will shed further light on the exhibition publication The ten seconds that determine whether A gets made into a work which explores the moment that an artist decides to transform her idea into an artwork. Come join the discussion as Wong and Lai offer a rare glimpse into their processes. The talk will be in Cantonese with the possibility of whispered English translations. Please RSVP at rsvp@springworkshop.org *Please note that there will probably be heavy traffic in the Aberdeen Tunnel due to crowds visiting Ocean Park. You may consider travelling to Spring Workshop via Kennedy Town/Pok Fu Lam or over Wong Nai Chung Gap Road to avoid the tunnel traffic.

As part of their program 15 Invitations for 15 Years, Wong Wai Yin will present Talking Archive at our partner organization Asia Art Archive (AAA). Wong invites her collaborator Percy Mak, a psychic medium and animal communicator who talks to objects and space, to speak to various sites within AAA and its collection in order to uncover their “true opinions.” Mak’s questions directed at various AAA materials include: as a historical document, how do you think history should be invented? As one of the oldest documents in AAA’s collection, what do you think is the most valuable accomplishment by the organisation in the last 15 years? The findings will be presented in the AAA library in the form of a video and site-specific installation. Talking Archive *Image courtesy of the artist and Asia Art Archive.
