This autumn Spring Workshop turns 1.

In the twelve months since we opened our industrial-sized doors, we have welcomed over 2,500 people to the space, and hosted or worked with more than 60 artists and thinkers during 35 private and public events and residencies of various lengths (click here for an archive). It has been a year of lush growth, and we are grateful to our wonderful advisors and allies for their partnership and guidance. We are equally grateful to all of you artists, writers, art-lovers and open-minded enthusiasts who have shown up here in Wong Chuk Hang, rain or shine, day or night, all year long to join us in our adventures! Everything we do here at Spring is for you, and we will endeavor to make sure that there is something new for you to engage with each time you come.  Bring your friends along as well – we want our free programs to reach anyone interested. Thank you for your support.  We look forward to sharing another verdant and exuberant year of special programs with you.  And anytime you are in our corner of the city, come by and use Spring as your home base.

Spring is also pleased to host Para Site‘s sound performance Terrestrial Excursions by Hong-Kai Wang and Asia Art Archive‘s screening program entitled Sites of Construction: The moving image as a site of art historical construction which features films by Yao Hung-I, Yang Bo and Jia Zhangke. Please read on for more details and to rsvp for events. In addition to A Constructed World and Heman Chong, we look forward to welcoming many more guests this fall including Ming Wong, Phil Collins, Aslı Çavuşoğlu and Polly Staple.  The studios at Spring during the second half of 2013 have been bursting with residents and visitors, from our A Fictional Residency author Oscar van den Boogaard (if you don’t yet have your copy of the book, please download a gorgeous PDF version designed by Heman here), to Jalal Toufic, Doryun Chong, Ho Tzu Nyen, Nathalie Johnston, Moosje Goosen, Song Ta and Wang Hong-Kai.
