Spring welcomes
MAP Office
and
Michael Friedman

Spring is delighted to announce that October will bring the artists MAP Office and writer/composer Michael Friedman in Wong Chuk Hang.

On October 12-13 at Spring, the Atlas of Asia Art Archive that MAP Office created as AAA Artists-in-residence will bloom into three-dimensions in the first event of ‘Performing the Archipelago’, a series of events in which artists have been invited to activate parts of the 111 territories through readings, conversations, and performances. During this event, we are pleased to welcome Ho Tzu Nyen and Jewyo Rhii as guests.

Throughout the entire month of October, the acclaimed New York writer/composer Michael Friedman will be in residence. True to form, Michael will be investigating Hong Kong culture from many angles and meeting several local artists and academics to learn about their practices and politics. At the end of his stay on October 27, Michael will then take to the keyboard to play through some songs for us. There will also be a workshop for avant-garde musical theatre enthusiasts. (Please contact us for further info on the workshop.) More details on October’s events can be found below.

We look forward to welcoming you at Spring.
