The New Potentials Para Site Annual Auction Gala 2015

Dear Friends of Para Site,

What a year this has been! After 19 years of achieving great things in a notoriously small space, we have moved to a brand new home in Quarry Bay, with a 2,500-square-foot exhibition gallery and, for the first time in our history, we have a space especially dedicated to education.

This momentous move has been not just a culmination of years of efforts, but also of dedication and generosity by our growing family of friends. Meanwhile, Para Site has not only grown in square footage, we have also grown in the number of exhibitions, public programmes, residencies, new publications, visitor numbers, and overall impact on the local arts community.

We have launched several new major educational programmes, including a pioneering intensive programme for emerging art professionals from Hong Kong and abroad, held in conjunction with our annual international conference – which has been yet again a major destination on the global art agenda. We are particularly proud of a new long-term project we have initiated, which is so urgent for our city, engaging with Hong Kong’s domestic workers community. And last but not least, we have started a new format for producing

large-scale works focused on Hong Kong artists, in addition to our already established booth at Art Basel, featuring every year a promising local artist with newly commissioned work.

These have all joined our renewed and expanded exhibition programme. A Hundred Years of Shame welcomed more than 3,000 visitors and received feature reviews in The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal. The first solo exhibition in East Asia of Sheela Gowda, a 2014 Hugo Boss Prize finalist, revealed the new potentials and museum standards of working in our new space. Imagine there’s no country, Above us only our cities inaugurated another annual format giving the chance to a young Hong Kong curator to realize his or her first large scale exhibition with all the opportunities Para Site has to offer, its space, experience, and budgetary possibilities, leading to one of the most successful exhibitions in our history. A Luxury We Cannot Afford, a major new survey with artists from Singapore and beyond, showcased Para Site’s central position in the arts and debates within Asia and the international scene. In the same vein, our exhibitions continued to travel successfully to several prestigious international venues this year, A Journal of the Plague Year to Kadist Art

Foundation and The Lab in San Francisco, Great Crescent to Mori Art Museum in Tokyo, and new plans are being made for the future, from Manila to Paris to Mexico City.

None of this could have happened without the tremendous generosity of our Patrons and supporters. And because we would like you to know exactly how the support translates into our work, here are a few examples of costs that went into these projects:

Firenze Lai 黎清妍 Firenze Lai (b. 1984, Hong Kong) lives and works in Hong Kong. She studied fine art at the Hong Kong Art School and majored in painting. Lai’s paintings explore the concepts of space and context, and how oneself adapts the mind and body in different circumstances. Like The Duet, most of her works capture individuals, in highly expressive portraits, where dominant feelings and moods overtake not just the entire figure of the characters but also the pictorial background of the works.

Past exhibitions and projects include A Hundred Years of Shame – Songs of Resistance and Scenarios for Chinese Nations, Para Site, Hong Kong, Surround Audience, 2015 New Museum Triennial, New Museum, New York, and Mobile M+: Moving Images, Midtown POP, Hong Kong, in 2015; Day and Daylight, CL3, Hong Kong Arts Centre, Hong Kong, the 10th Shanghai Biennale, Shanghai, in 2014; A Journal of the Plague Year.

Maria Taniguchi Maria Taniguchi (b. 1981, Manila) lives and works in Dumaguete City, Manila.

Taniguchi’s work focuses on the mechanical fabrication of brick paintings in the hope of achieving an image out of a pure neutral surface, such as planar, monochromatic and gridlocked, shaped only by a predetermined process in mind.

Maria was part of the LUX Associates Artists Program, and was also selected for Art Statements in Art Basel 44 in 2013. She was shortlisted for the Hugo Boss Asia Art Award 2015 and awarded the Atenoeo Art Award in 2011 and 2012.

Tianzhuo Chen 陳天灼 Tianzhuo Chen (b. 1985, China) lives and works in Beijing, China. Chen is a Chinese contemporary artist known for outlandish performance video work and installations.

Chen is one of the best known figures among the newest generation of Chinese artists, embracing fashion and popular culture, and crafting a language borrowing extensively from advertising, street art, design, and the music industry. This highly successful, internationally exhibited enfant terrible of this scene creates in Coming Soon – The Last Evil 2 one of his most iconic images, with obvious pop and queer, tongue-in-cheek references.

Past exhibitions and projects include TIANZHUO CHEN, Palais de Tokyo, Paris, in 2015; SANKUANZ FW2015 Collection, London Fashion Week, London, in 2014; Tianzhuo’s Acid Club, Tianzhuo Chen Solo Exhibition, Star Gallery, Beijing, China, in 2013; Kathmandu International Art Festival, Kathmandu, Nepal, in 2012; Asia Triennial Manchester, Manchester, in 2011; China Design now, V&A Museum, London, in 2008.

Alfredo Jaar Alfredo Jaar (b. 1956, USA) lives and works in New York. Jaar is an artist, architect, and filmmaker whose works has been shown extensively around the world. The work of Jaar is often politically motivated, strategies of representation of real events, the faces of war and the globalised world. He has realised more than sixty public interventions around the world and more than fifty monographic publications about his work of art. He became a Guggenheim Fellow in 1985 and a MacArthur Fellow in 2000. Jaar received the Chilean Premio Nacional de Artes Plásticas in 2013.

Nguyen, Four Times is the result from Jaar’s trip to Hong Kong in the Fall of 1991 to investigate the living conditions of Vietnamese asylum seekers incarcerated there and being threatened with repatriation. During his visit to one of the refugee centres, he was followed by a little girl, Nguyen Thi Thuy, who he took five photographs of at approximately five-minute intervals.

Jaar’s works are included in the collections of The Museum of Modern Art and Guggenheim Museum, New York; the MCA, in Chicago; MOCA and LACMA, in Los Angeles. He has exhibited at institutions and private collections worldwide.

Paul Chan 陳佩之 Paul Chan (b. 1973, Hong Kong) lives and works in New York. Chan works with photojournalism, drawing, animation and video, and his work engages with fundamental themes including politics, poetry, war and death. He is an artist as well as a political activist, and his works often present sets of dualities — violence and joy, utopia and apocalypse, the Bible, Samuel Beckett and hip-hop. From his second solo exhibition at Greene Naftali, Sade for Sade’s sake, this work is inspired by the writings and philosophies of Marquis De Sade (1740–1814), looking in particular at Sade’s obsessions with forms of sex, violence, freedom, and reason echo in the 21st century.

Chan is the recipient of the 2014 Hugo Boss Prize. Past exhibitions and projects include Nonprojections for New Lovers, Guggenheim Museum, New York, in 2015; Paul Chan – Selected Works, Schaulager, Basel, Switzerland, in 2014; Inside a Book a House of Gold: Artists’ Editions for Parkett, Ullens Center for Contemporary Art, Beijing, in 2012; Found in Translation, Guggenheim Museum, New York; Material Intelligence, Whitechapel Gallery, London; the Venice Biennale all in 2009; and Paul Chan, Para Site Art Space, Hong Kong, in 2006.

King of Kowloon (Tsang Tsou Choi) 九龍皇帝 (曾灶財) Tsang Tsou Choi, “King of Kowloon” (b. 1921, China–2007, Hong Kong) lived and worked in Hong Kong. Under the idea that he was deprived of his sovereign rights as ruler to a portion of Hong Kong, Tsang spent decades proclaiming his genealogy and understanding of the world through the use of calligraphic graffiti as a form of occupation of the physical cityscape. This is one of the most representative of such remaining works, functioning like an ancient Chinese tablet spelling out King of Kowloon’s titles of property, mixed with a gritty Hong Kong backalley graffiti.

Past exhibitions and projects include Memories of King Kowloon, ArtisTree, Hong Kong, in 2012; Our Future: The Foundation Collection, Ullens Centre for Contemporary Art, Beijing, in 2008 and Zone of Urgency: Canton Express, the 50th Venice Biennale, in 2013.

Cao Fei 曹斐 Cao Fei (b. 1978, China) lives and works in Beijing, China. Cao’s multimedia projects explore the struggles of the young Chinese generation and their strategies of overcoming them, and reflect on the rapid changes occurring in today’s Chinese society. Her films and installations are mixtures of social commentary, popular aesthetics, references to Surrealism, and documentary conventions. With La Town, Cao presents a mythical post-apocalyptic metropolis with small figures in a carefully constructed, fictional world, which represents towns that have existed in many different parts of the world in many different time periods. The video from the same series was presented at the most recent Venice Biennale.

Other past exhibitions and projects include Documentary Fortnight 2015, Museum of Modern Art, New York, Fairy Tales, Museum of Contemporary Art Taipei, Taiwan, and Wild Grass: New Chinese Images, Doxa Documentary Film Festival, Vancouver, Canada, in 2015; La Town, Lombard Freid Gallery, New York, Whose Utopia, Tate Modern, London, Ten Million Rooms of Yearning: Sex in Hong Kong, Para Site, Hong Kong, the 8th Shenzhen Sculpture Biennale, Shenzhen, in 2014; Haze and Fog, The Ullens Center for Contemporary Art, Beijing, School of Art Institute of Chicago, USA, Centre Pompidou, Paris, Tate Modern, London, Eastside Projects, Birmingham, UK, and Centre For Chinese Contemporary Art, Manchester, UK, in 2013–14.

Wu Shanzhuan 吳山專 Wu Shanzhuan (B. 1960, China) lives and works in Hamburg, Germany and Beijing.

As one of the leaders of the Chinese Conceptual Movement in 1980s, Wu is one of the first of his peers to incorporate textual pop references. Wu’s canvases often appear as a combination of graffiti and expressionism. Rendered with painterly spontaneity, words, symbols, and diagrams battle for space in a virtual terrain between conveyed meaning and pictorial abstraction. A 1986 work titled Red Humor International was the pivotal work in Wu’s career and the marker of what would become his style thereafter. The installation famously featured a breadth of texts including political catechisms, lines of Buddhist scripture, and advertising slogans as a critical look at both Chinese history and contemporary mass media.

Past exhibitions and projects include Post Pop: East Meets West, Saatchi Gallery, London, UK, in 2014; Green Box: Remapping — The Space of Media Reality, City’s R&D Center of China Academy of Art, Hangzhou, China, in 2013; SURPLUS AUTHORS, Witte de With Center for Contemporary Art, The Netherlands, in 2012; SMS & Its Enemy, Hanart TZ Gallery, Hong Kong, in 2011.

10 Liao Guohe 廖國核 Liao Guohe (b. 1977, India) lives and works in Changsha, China. Liao is known for his crude and naughty painting style that both reduces ideas to a few essential lines and maximizes the work’s power. Like in Gold, Liao often writes his titles directly on the canvas, a practice that recalls graffiti elements. Liao’s work portrays and comments on a world that has no place for delicate feelings – a Brave New China that is venal, corrupt, obscene and borderline crazy.

Past exhibitions and projects include Satisfaction Guaranteed!, Sifang Art Museum, China, in 2014–15; dAfT, Shanghai Gallery of Art, Shanghai, China, and 19 Solo Shows About Painting/Shameless, Platform Beijing, China, in 2011; Liao Guohe, Magician Space, Beijing, China, Ukrainian, Shopping Gallery, Shanghai, China, Relative To The Naïve Art Style, Fine Arts Literature Art Center, Wuhan, China, and A Close-up Focus on Chinese Contemporary Art Trends, Platform Beijing, China, in 2010; Contemporary Art In SongJiang – Bourgeois oriented proletariat, Creative Workshop, Shanghai China, in 2009; and Quietly Appeared Commercial Salon, i.e.

Antony Gormley Antony Gormley (b. 1950, United Kingdom) is widely acclaimed for his sculptures, installations and public artworks that investigate the relationship of the human body to space. His work has developed the potential opened up by sculpture since the 1960s through a critical engagement with both his own body and those of others in a way that confronts fundamental questions of where human beings stand in relation to nature and the cosmos. Gormley continually tries to identify the space of art as a place of becoming in which new behaviours, thoughts and feelings can arise.

Gormley has had a number of solo shows at venues including the Centro Cultural Banco do Brasil; Deichtorhallen Hamburg; State Hermitage Museum, St Petersburg; Kunsthaus Bregenz; Hayward Gallery, London; Kunsthalle zu Kiel; Malmö Konsthall; and Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, Copenhagen. Major public works include the Angel of the North (Gateshead, England), Another Place (Crosby Beach, England) and Exposure (Lelystad, The Netherlands). He has also participated in major group shows such as the Venice Biennale and Documenta 8, Kassel, Germany. Gormley won the Turner Prize in 1994 and has been a member of the Royal Academy since 2003. He was made an Officer of the British Empire in 1997 and knighted in 2014.

12 Lee Kit 李傑 Lee Kit (b. 1978, Hong Kong) lives and works in Taiwan. He graduated with a MFA from the Department of Fine Arts at The Chinese University of Hong Kong in 2006.

His practice often derives inspiration from everyday domestic situations, which can become anything from very personal and intimate confessions to ironic social commentary. Don't owe me anything is Lee Kit at his best, creating a distinctively subtle piece, slightly melancholy and opaque, but nevertheless moving. As always, he achieves this by using the most banal materials.

Past exhibitions and projects include We’ll never go back again, Vitamin Creative Space, Guangzhou, and the Sharjah Biennial, Sharjah, UAE, in 2015; Ten Million Rooms of Yearning: Sex in Hong Kong, Para Site, Hong Kong, Room Service, Staatliche Kunsthalle, Baden Baden, Germany, and Kiev Biennial, Kiev, Ukraine, in 2014; traveling exhibition A Journal of the Plague Year.

Apichatpong Weerasethakul 13 Apichatpong Weerasethakul (b. 1970, Thailand) lives and works in Bangkok, Thailand. Often non-linear, with a strong sense of dislocation, his works deal with memory, subtly addressed personal politics and social issues. He is active in promoting experimental and independent film-making, and co-founded the production company, Kick the Machine, in 1999. Weerasethakul received numerous awards, including The International Critics’ Award in 2003, Best Film and Special Jury Prize, The 20th International Gay & Lesbian Film Festival, Turnin in 2005, Palme d’Or, Cannes Film Festival, France in 2010, The Sharjah Biennial Prize and the Fukuoka Prize (Art and Culture) in 2013, and the Yanghyun Prize in 2014.

Past exhibitions and projects include A Journal of the Plague Year. Fear, ghosts, rebels.

14 Charwei Tsai 蔡佳葳 Charwei Tsai (b. 1980, Taiwan) lives and works in Paris, France and Taipei, Taiwan.

Tsai uses a variety of media in a politically engaged, performative practice. At once highly personal yet general in concert, Tsai grounds herself and art practice in a sense of (national/Taiwanese) identity and the consequent implications.

Geographical, social and spiritual concerns inform a body of work directed towards activating participation outside the confines of complement contemplation. We Came Whirling from Nothingness is a series of drawings where various forms of spirals were created by watercolor on rice paper and inscribed with Heart Sutra.

The texts gradually disperse in the outer sphere into the void in contemplation of the essence of emptiness even when applied to dharma (or Buddhist teaching) itself.

Past exhibitions and projects include Meeting Point, Edouard Malingue Gallery, Hong Kong, in collaboration with TKG+ Gallery, Taiwan, in 2013; Trading Futures, Taipei Contemporary Art Centre, Taipei, in 2012; Buddha’s Trace, Kunstmuseum Bochum, Bochum, in 2011 and the 6th Asia Pacific Triennial, Queensland Art Gallery, Brisbane, in 2009.

Jiang Zhi 蔣志 15 Jiang Zhi (b. 1971, China) lives and works in Beijing and Shenzhen, China. A leading representative of a group of contemporary artists based in Shenzhen who addressed the politics of migration and the body, China’s urbanisation, and the cultural status of the media, Jiang often works with a range of mediums such as photography, video, and installation. From the early stages of his artistic career, Jiang has been writing novels while taking photographs, which stems from his deep interest in poetry. Jiang has consciously positioned himself at the intersection of poetry and sociology. He fervently weaves familiar and mundane social experiences into his works, while at the same time maintaining the tenseness between daily life and our reading of the text. Jiang’s works are open-ended, supple, and possess a taste of poetic vigour.

Past exhibitions and projects include The 9th Shanghai Biennale, Shanghai, China; Strait is the Gate, Magician Space, Beijing, China; Jiang Zhi: If This is a Man, Times Museum, Guangzhou, Guangdong, China, in 2012; A Thought Arises, Shanghai Gallery of Art, Shanghai, China, in 2011; COMMUNITY OF TASTES: Chinese Contemporary Art since 2000, Museu de arte Contemporanea, Sao Paulo, Brazil; TREMBLE: Solo Exhibition of Jiang Zhi, Magee Are Gallery, Madrid, Spain, in 2010; On The White, Jiang Zhi Solo Exhibition, Osage Gallery, Singapore, in 2009.

16 Cui Jie 崔潔 Cui Jie (b. 1983, China) lives and works in Beijing, China. Cui Jie is described

by The Wall Street Journal as one of the youngest “Chinese Rising Art Stars”.

Cui Jie’s painting evolves from her previous expressionist take on absurdities in contemporary China to the mediation between China’s Urbanism and personal aesthetics. Inspired by Orson Welles’ multi-perspective, she applies various layers of images—some realistic, some imaginary—on canvas. Each layer comprises sculptural impastos and is meticulously executed to represent the transformation of China’s Urban landscape through time and politics.

Past exhibitions and projects include My Generation: Young Chinese Artists, Tampa Museum of Art & Museum of Fine Arts, St Petersburg, Florida, USA, in 2014; Green Box-Remapping: the Space of Media-Reality, Tianhong Mei Heyuan Arts Center, Hangzhou, China, in 2013; CUI JIE, Leo Xu Projects, Shanghai, China, in 2012; Face, Minsheng Art Museum, Shanghai, China, in 2012; 4th Prague Biennale, Prague, Czech Republic, in 2009; Poetic Realism: A Reinterpretation of Jiangnan-Contemporary Art from South China, Centro de Arte Tomás y Valiente, Madrid, Spain, in 2008.

Frog King Kwok 蛙王郭孟浩 17 Frog King Kwok (b. 1947, China) lives and works in Hong Kong. Frog King has been a pioneer of conceptual art in Hong Kong. He was virtually a lone figure in the late 1960s and throughout the 1980s, employing a wide range of media and forms of expression to challenge the highly conservative Hong Kong art scene of the time.

Moments such as the 1974 exhibition he organized in Yuen Long (believed to be the first conceptual art exhibition in the territory) and the display of rotten eggs he presented at the inaugural exhibition of the Hong Kong Arts Centre in 1977 caused public scandals and have remained in local memory. However, Frog King’s legendary status rose from his 1979 performances at Tian’anmen Square and the Great Wall, using strings and plastic bags, which are related to his fascination with the five traditional Chinese elements. This is believed to be the first example of performance art in China. Alongside this, he has been creating highly original collage-paintings like this one, employing his highly recognisable style and the iconic elements present in all his media. In 2011, he represented Hong Kong at the 54th Venice Biennale.

“Art is Frog, Love Live Fun, Frog is TAO, Art is about Keep on Froggy Fun.”

Frog TAO, 2015 Mixed media collage on canvas (diptych) Unique 117 × 73 cm, each Estimate: HK$ 140,000 – 180,000 Generously donated by the artist and 10 Chancery Lane Gallery

18 Martin Wong Martin Wong (1946–1999, USA) lived and worked in Portland, Oregon and San Francisco, California, and came of age during the city’s blossoming countercultural movement. Wong’s early works reflected the psychedelic era and his interest in the diverse cultures of Asia. Wong’s works ranges from paintings, ceramics, to calligraphy including eclectic imagery drawn from Eastern mythologies, local scenes and toys. Untitled (The Stone Steps Fall) is a highly representative piece for his early works, combining Chinese calligraphy, popular graffiti, and an almost runic aesthetics with the prose of the text inscribed within the piece, authored by Wong himself.

Wong’s uniquely used text created with signing hands in much of his work, resembling the enigmatic inscriptions in ancient Chinese painting. He died in 1999, in San Francisco from an AIDS related illness. The Martin Wong Foundation has been created in his memory. Wong’s works can be found in museum collections including: the Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Museum of Modern Art, The Bronx Museum, the de Young Museum, the Art Institute of Chicago, Whitney Museum of American Art, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and The Cleveland Museum of Art. A traveling exhibition of his work accompanied by the release of a major publication will take place at the Bronx Museum, New York, in November 2015.

Angel Otero 19 Angel Otero (b. 1981, Puerto Rico) lives and works in Brooklyn, New York. He is a visual artist best known for his process-based paintings. While many of his works have been influenced by memories based in photographs and other family memorabilia combined with the gestures of 20th century painting, his latest works highlight the artist’s unique process as a form of narrative in itself. Otero’s ‘deformation’ approach to painting is representative of how the artist perceives the process of reconfiguring both personal and historical narratives. His works are created through creating “oil skins,” which are comprised of paint that has been poured onto glass and peeled off after it dries. He then places the skin atop canvas or sculptures, adding spray paint, resin, and silicone. Otero is a recipient of the Leonore Annenberg Fellowship in the Visual Arts.

Past exhibitions and projects include Material Discovery, SCAD Museum of Art, Savannah and Hong Kong, in 2013; Angel Otero, Contemporary Art Museum, Raleigh, NC, in 2012; and addition to EI Museo del Barrio’s The [S] Files, El Museo’s 6th Biennial, in 2011 and Queens International 2012: Three Points Make a Triangle, Queen Museum, New York, in 2012, among others.

20 Paulina Olowska Paulina Olowska (b. 1976, Poland) lives and works in Krakow, Poland. Olowska has had a formative influence on the international art scene, using various working methods to explore the historical avant-garde, setting a dialogue with past iconography and questioning the borders of the present. Ołowska studies the processes of urban transformation and social relationships in an era of growing consumerism, demonstrating an interest in Communist Poland’s fascination with Western liberal capitalism. Olowska’s work often features the female, exploring the multiple angles of women in commodity culture, visual advertising and the spectacle of fashion. Dressing Room of Villa Day, VIII mingles appropriated-image, collage and paint, engaging the eye with shifting ratios of paint and image. The work suggests an admiration for the French Affichistes and American graffiti art off-set by an involvement with the image bank of Polish postwar life, including Soviet and American propaganda magazines and the contrasts between official and underground culture.

Select solo exhibitions include The National Gallery of Art, Warsaw in 2014; The Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam in 2013; Museum of Modern Art, New York in 2011; CCA Wattis Institute, San Francisco in 2010; and Camden Arts Centre, London in 2009.

Ai Weiwei 艾未未 23 Ai Weiwei (b.1957, China) lives and works in Beijing, China. A member of the Xingxing (Stars) group, Ai has emerged as one of the most prominent figures in contemporary Chinese art and architecture and as a globally renowned cultural and political icon. From architecture to installations, social media to documentaries, Ai uses a wide range of mediums as expressions to set up new possibilities and conditions for his audience to question and confront the society and its values. An outspoken advocate of human rights and freedom of speech, his actions led him to frequent run-ins with the authorities and eventually a secret detention of 81 days from April 3, 2011 to June 22, 2011. Ai continues to develop projects and showcase his works on the international stage. Many of his projects, like Plate with Flowers, refer to traditional Chinese arts, often ironically, questioning issues of value, identity, authorship, and beauty.

Recent solo exhibitions include Ai Weiwei’s Circle of Animals/Zodiac Heads: Gold, Portland Art Museum, Portland, United States, in 2015, Ai Weiwei, Royal Academy of Arts, London, United Kingdom, both in 2015; Ai Weiwei: According to What?, Brooklyn Museum, New York, Ai Weiwei: Evidence, Martin Gropius Bau, Berlin, and Ai Weiwei, Liaison Gallery, London, all in 2014; Ai Weiwei: According to What?, Hirshhorm Museum and Sculpture Garden, Washington, D.C., in 2012.

Experience

A Decadent Getaway to a Private Balinese Villa Spend a 4-night vacation in a blissful 8,000 square-foot villa in Seminyak, Indonesia, home of some of the most glorious beaches in Bali. This unforgettable experience begins immediately upon arrival, when one is greeted by the main entrance’s 21-foot doors made of ironwood lightly washed in gold. All of the materials used to build the villa were sourced locally, from the Balinese petrified wood for the living room table to the ironwood tiles lining the bar. Both breath-taking and sustainable, the villa is meticulously designed, featuring solar panels on the roof, which generate part of the home’s electricity, and ceiling fans nestled within the LED-illuminated recessed lighting. Once an artist’s studio, this unique and open-plan space that lets in light everywhere, includes 5 ensuite bedrooms, which can fit up to 4 couples and 6 children. The grounds include both a loggia and a pool.

This exclusive experience can be scheduled with 2-month advance notice anytime within a year from the date of the Auction, except Christmas and Easter.

112 Thomas Ruff Thomas Ruff (b. 1958, Zell am Harmersbach, West Germany) lives and works in Düsseldorf. Ruff is acknowledged as a leading innovator in the generation of German artists that propelled photography into mainstream art. For more than two decades, he has pushed the limits of the photographic medium, harnessing technologies both old and new — including the photogram, the cameraless technique advanced by Man Ray, László Moholy-Nagy, and others in the early twentieth century. Negatives are a direct result of Ruff’s photogram process, during which he has constantly explored the dynamics of positive and negative imagery. The white and slate-blue images are inverted versions of early-twentieth-century nude studies. Reversing the negative’s role as a means to an end — the master image from which the print is created — Ruff digitally transforms sepia-toned albumen prints into dramatically contrasting negative portraits, imbuing the posing nude subjects with sculptural dimensionality and white marble skin tones.

Recent solo exhibitions include Sala Alcalá 31, Madrid in 2013; Thomas Ruff: Works 1979–2011, Haus der Kunst, Munich in 2012; and MCA DNA: Thomas Ruff, Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago in 2011.

Martin Creed 113 Martin Creed (b. 1968, United Kingdom) lives and works in London and Alicudi, Italy.

For Creed, there is no border between life and art. His approach means that he can use any form of expression or media, since the key element for him is the process of creation — in his words, ‘trying to live life better’. Creed often experiments by means of accumulation, sometimes creating forms of progression in size, height, tone, or by presenting things ordered, classified or stacked to create idiosyncratic and purposeless taxonomies. Since 1987, he has numbered each of his works, and in 2001 he won the Turner Prize for Work No. 227 The lights going on and off.

Recent major solo exhibition and projects include Kunsthalle Vogelmann, Kunstverein Heilbronn, Heilbronn, Germany in 2015; Hayward Gallery, London, England in 2014; The Andy Warhol Museum, Pittsburgh PA; and Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum, Ridgefield CT in 2013; Work No. 202, National Gallery of Canada, Ottawa, Canada; and Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago IL in 2012; Work No. 1059, The Scotsman Steps, Edinburgh, Scotland; and Nasher Sculpture Center, Dallas TX in 2011; Things, The Common Guild, Glasgow, Scotland; and Work No. 409, Royal Festival Hall Elevator, London, England in 2010; Work No. 245, Centre Pompidou-Metz, Metz, France; and Hiroshima City Museum of Contemporary Art, Hiroshima, Japan in 2009; and the Duveens Commission, Tate Britain, London in 2008.

29 Bernd Behr Bernd Behr (b. 1976, Germany) lives and works in London. Behr works across moving image, photography, sculpture and writing to explore a research-based practice situated at historical junctures between image cultures and the built environment. Questions of material provenance form the basis for speculative trajectories of the indexical and narrated image. Behr received the Artsadmin deciBel Award in 2006 and is currently a lecturer at the Camberwell College of Arts, University of the Arts London. Amoy Gardens IV, shown in Para Site’s highly successful traveling exhibition A Journal of the Plague Year, is an eerie shot of a completely empty building at the height of the SARS crisis in 2003. The building is part of the Amoy Gardens complex, one of the epicenters of the epidemics, and its modernist architecture engulfed by an invisible pestilence, captured by Behr in its heavy silence, reveals the broken promise of modernism and contemporary civilization, incapable of protecting humanity from primordial dangers and a vengeful nature.

Feng Guodong 馮國東 42 Feng Guodong (1948, Guangdong – 2005, Beijing) lived and worked in Beijing, China. Feng was one of the most idiosyncratic artists of a generation that was active outside the official Chinese art world in the 1970s and 80s. Gifted with a strong talent, a courageous attitude and a clear feeling for the times, he developed a unique body of works, including oil and ink paintings, sculptures and drawings. By avoiding any form of convention, even in his own development, every work became a new project to accomplish. This gave his work its almost postmodern, contemporary character.

Kowarsky has travelled extensively in South Asia, Europe and the Middle East. Architecture and the colours of earth and sky inspire much of his works.

These images were developed in a back and forth process. Because the artists are in separate countries, much of this exchange was by email. The long distance exchange was supplemented with face-to-face discussions in the final stages on the practicalities needed to realise the work. The printmaking process, with its technical focus on ink, paper and metal, helped unify the different artistic elements into a whole. The buildings in the etching Chowk are in Hong Kong, and they are from Damon Kowarsky’s visit to the city.

Taeyoon Kim 50 Taeyoon Kim (b. 1982, Korea) lives and works in Seoul, Korea. Kim’s practice centers around the materialization of data from a variety of sources and forms.

The recreation and manipulation focuses on the textures and image perspective.

Lau’s photography work include still life and candid, and her ongoing projects, are closely tied to her family’s nostalgia and migration stories from China, as well as her own discovery of her relationship to her parents and Hong Kong. In Extract #03, as well as in a few related works, Lau uses fragments of her childhood from family photographs that reference specific bodies of cultural production as starting points to explore how imagery and materials shape our understanding of culture, gender, and history.

She arranges and combines these with various patterns, shapes, and forms extracted from different passports she owned throughout the years. As they are enlarged and extracted from their initial context, the patterns and forms become vague and unrecognisable, while the fragments and practices of daily life from the photographs become sharper and more visible.

While offering his unlimited autographed paintings at a low price, and relying on the unique nature of artworks as a commodity, the artist involves the audience as his conspirators. The more people who own his autographed paintings, the more famous the artist will become and the possibility that the value of the artworks possessed by the buyers will go up, turning the artist into a legend.

Liu Ding (b. 1976, China) lives and works in Beijing, China. Liu is an artist and curator who investigates the various mechanisms and rules of the art system.

Liu curated Little Movements: Self-Practices in Contemporary Art, OCT Shenzhen, in 2011, and the 7th Shenzhen Sculpture Biennale in 2012. He has been exhibited at MOMA PS1, New York, USA, Palais de Tokyo, Paris, France, the 8th Asia Pacific Triennial, Brisbane, Australia, The 14th Istanbul Biennial, Turkey, the 10th Shanghai Biennale, China, Ullens Center for Contemporary Art, Beijing, China, Tate Modern, London, UK, Taipei Biennial 2012, Taiwan, and represented China in the 53rd Venice Biennale, Italy, in 2009.

Jen Liu 64 Jen Liu (b. 1976, USA) lives and works in Brooklyn, New York. Liu uses various media, including paper, video, music, and performance, to create fictional and fabricated narratives that explore questions and ideas related to value, power, and (re)industrialization. Liu often groups several ideas together under a primary idea that is a proposal to fix the society, and under her own narrative base aims to have these ideas self-cancel themselves through internal logic. A kind of conceptual ruse is offered in this portfolio of photographic giclée prints, which are united by the banal fact that they depict people wearing sweaters. They were printed from a larger series of found slides that the artist buried underground, dug up, and then produced prints from, subjecting the images to one process after another.

Past exhibitions and projects include Berlinale, Forum Expanded, Academy of Arts Berlin, Germany, Pattern Masters, Triple Canopy: Standards and Standardization, Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, in 2015; Come One Come All, Citizen M Times Square, New York, the 10th Shanghai Biennale, Unto Void Fulfills This Place, das weisse haus, Vienna, Austria, Monsanto Shadow Symposium, Radical Archives CFP, NYU, New York, in 2014.

65 Ma Yujiang 馬玉江 Ma Yujiang (b. 1988, China) lives and works in Hong Kong. Ma studied Chinese calligraphy and traditional Chinese literature during his childhood with his grandparents in the countryside, and Ma’s work is deeply influenced by traditional Chinese art and culture, along with everyday life experiences, which he expresses through contemporary language. Ma began exploring conceptual art at an early age. The artist leaves the completion of an artwork to the work itself. Human relationships, the exchange of emotion, displacement in different cities and the passing of time are all major influences in his work.

Past exhibitions and projects include Cang Mang, Pearl Lam Galleries, Hong Kong SOHO, Real & Unreal, The 1st Changjiang International Photography & Video Biennale, Changjiang Museum of Contemporary Art, Chongqing, in 2015; Unlived by What Is Seen, Tang Contemporary Art, Beijing, China, in 2014; 4A, A4, 4A Centre for Contemporary Asian Art, Sydney, Australia, in 2013; Do “I” have any problems?, 4-Face Space, 798 Art Zone, Beijing, China in 2013; XXX—Next 10 Years of Contemporary Art, Today Art Museum, Beijing, China, in 2011.

This work also comes with an original archival image of Victoria Harbour during a WWII attack, which the artist manipulated to remove all traces of the war, resulting in the larger image.

Kingsley Ng 伍韶勁 68 Kingsley Ng (b. 1980, Hong Kong) lives in Hong Kong and works internationally as an interdisciplinary artist. Often through spatial interventions using light and sound, his practice casts light on the disregarded and forgotten, and rediscovers sensible relationships between people and their surroundings. Sun Over the Placid World was created for the 2nd Mongolia Land Art Biennial. For one week, Ng stayed in the Middle Gobi, 280 km away from Ulaanbaatar, where there were only minimal traces of human existence and where the rhythm of life respectfully followed that of nature.

This is the birthplace of the Mongolian sacred song, “The Sun Over the Placid World”. Ng traced the musical contour of the tune by forming a rock landscape. In perfect alignment to the sun path, the rocks are lit successively by sunlight from dawn to dusk, as if the sunlight is playing the score of the music. A time-lapse video is made to capture the process for audiences contemplating from afar.

Ng’s works have been featured in notable exhibitions and international venues. Examples include the Museum of Contemporary Arts in Rome Italy, Guangzhou Triennial in China, Land Art Biennial in Mongolia, Echigo Tsumari Art Triennial in Japan, IRCAM — Centre Pompidou in France, Lille Europe Pavilion in Shanghai Expo, InterAccess Electronic Media Arts Centre in Canada, and the Hong Kong Museum of Art.

71 Melik Ohanian Melik Ohanian (b. 1969, France) lives and works between Paris and New York.

Ohanian’s works can be understood as physical and conceptual territories that focus on the concept of time. Drawing on research, scientific and philosophical methodologies, he has developed a body of work utilising a wide range of media.

His installations examine the operative mode of the exhibition and move beyond the conventional boundaries that define images spatially and temporally. The artist places the viewer in an exploratory role and highlights the complexity of the temporal intervals that govern our relationship with the world. He is the Marcel Duchamp Award Nominee, and a winner of the Golden Lion for the Best National Pavilion (Armenia) in the 56th Venice Biennale, 2015.

73 Prabhakar Pachpute Prabhakar Pachpute (b. 1986, India) lives and works in Mumbai, India. Pachpute, whose family has worked in Chandrapur’s mines for three generations, has filled the walls of a contemporary art space as part of his first solo exhibition titled Canary in a Coalmine. Drawing inspiration from Gustave Klimt’s The Beethoven Frieze at the 14th Vienna Secession, Pachpute’s murals convey the psychological impact on those working in the mines and those who live above them. The use of charcoal in his works is a direct reference to the charred recesses of the deep mines and that of the souls of the people who work in them for generations as they are to the uncertain ephemerality in aspirations of the labor class in India and the rest of the world. Pachpute was shortlisted for the Skoda Prize 2012 which awards young upcoming artists.

Past exhibitions and projects include Clamour Can Melt Gold, Edouard Malingue Gallery, in 2015; Eros, Para Site, Hong Kong, in 2014; L’Exigence de la Saudade, Clark House, Paris; Social Fabric, Grant Watson at IFA Gallery, Stuttgart, Germany; Black OR White, Van Abbemuseum, Eindhoven, Netherland, all in 2013; CANARY IN A COAL MINE, Clark House Initiative, Mumbai, India, in 2012; Square Eyes, House Initiative, Bombay, India and CAZ, Cornwall, UK; India Art Festival, Mumbai Garden, India, in 2011.

João Vasco Paiva 74 João Vasco Paiva (b. 1979, Portugal) lives and works in Hong Kong. Paiva creates works in various media, and aims to deconstruct complex urban environments, in order to explore how urban spaces may serve as catalysts for aesthetic production.

Recently, Paiva has been exploring the discarded possibilities during the processes of production. foam 10/09/2015 comes from his new installment of works in which he collaborated with a number of Zurich’s craftsmen, manufactures, and producers and accessed several production sites. The documentation is willfully raw, and doesn't leave space for the artist’s commentary, a transparency that allows for a primal recording of time and human action.

Manuel Pelmus 76 Manuel Pelmus (b. 1974, Romania) is a dancer and choreographer that lives and works in Bucharest. He graduated from the Floria Capsali Dance School and worked at the Hamburg Opera before starting his freelance work in 1998. His works explore political and activist positions, and his dances include atypical gestures and stillness.

He co-founded Caminul Cultural in Bucharest in 2011, and was awarded the Berlin Art Prize of the Akademie der Künste in 2012 for performing arts. Pelmus became well known internationally with the staging of the Immaterial Retrospective of the Venice Biennale at the 55th Venice Biennale. In the same vein, the work Enactment of Artist at Work by Mladen Stilinovic reinterprets an iconic piece in the history of performance in order to question issues of artistic work and value, materiality and concept. The work to be acquired contains the value of artistic creation and labour, and the elusive process that lies behind every art object, but the object itself remains ungraspable, ever present in the moment of the performance.

Past exhibitions and projects include Public Collection, Playground, Leuven, Belgium, Oratorio San Filippo Neri, Bologna, Italy, Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw, Poland, documenta Archive, Kassel, Germany, and Szene Salzburg, Austria, in 2014–15; the OFF Biennale Budapest, in 2015; Delicate Instruments Handled with Care, former Czechoslovakian cultural institute, Berlin, Just Pompidou it. Rétrospective du Centre Pompidou, 2014, Centre Pompidou, Paris, and The Disappearance, Centre for Contemporary Art, Singapore, in 2014. Pelmus also represented Romania in the 55th Venice Biennale in 2013 and participated in the Para Site International Conference 2014.

The collector of the piece receives a certificate of authenticity, a score of the work, photographic and video documentation, as well as a set of instructions regarding the future re-installment of the work.

77 Javier León Pérez Javier León Pérez (b. 1977, Spain) lives and works in Madrid and Seville, Spain.

He envisions his work process as a daily ritual, an endless repetition of small, interweaving elements that cover the surface of his works and act as a mantra. For the viewer, the initial impact of the patterns and textures slowly move into a full aesthetic sensory experience. His works often invoke the philosophical idea of Li (理), a concept found in Neo-Confucian Chinese philosophy that refers to the underlying order of nature as reflected in its organic forms. His Cydonia series relates directly this idea of Li symmetries in the sense that the pieces aim to understand the underlying geometric patterns generated by “work in progress” as a parallel to those generated in natural order.

Past exhibitions and projects include Origen, Trema Arte Contemporanea, Lisbon, Portugal, Cruce de caminos, Victor López.

81 Song Dong 宋冬 Song Dong (b. 1966, China) lives and works in Beijing, China. Song’s creations have never towered over his life as a normal man. On the contrary, he believes that “art is life”, where problems of livelihood can turn into works of art with distinctive personal features. At the same time, using forms of traditional culture is one of Song Dong’s ways of ‘playing’, as he puts a lot of effort in revealing himself in many means.

Audiences’ over interpretations towards any directions are attempts to suppress another possible direction. To Song Dong’s art, the form is the content. Song Dong kept on expanding his works with everyday life experiences. He is not afraid to expose his own limits. As to him, his statements will eventually dilute in daily lives.

Therefore, Song Dong has a mantra, “That which goes undone goes undone in vain.

That which is done is done still in vain. That done in vain must still be done.”

Song has had solo exhibitions at the Groninger Museum, The Netherlands, in 2015; Baró, São Paulo, in 2014; The Margulies Collection at the Warehouse, Miami, 4A Centre for Contemporary Asian Art, Sydney, in 2011 and 2013; Barbican Art Gallery, London, CARRIAGEWORKS, Sydney, Vancouver Art Gallery, in 2010–13; Ullens Center for Contemporary Art, Beijing, in 2011; and Museum of Modern Art, New York, in 2009.

93 Mona Vatamanu and Florin Tudor Mona Vatamanu (b. 1968, Romania) and Florin Tudor (b. 1974, Switzerland) live and work in Romania. Their artistic practice spans diverse media, including film, photography, painting, performance and site-specific projects, through which they confront the traumatic legacy of Communism in their native Romania and Eastern Europe, while wrestling with the ongoing challenge of how to process history.

Remnants of Socialist architecture figure prominently in their work, serving as visual evidence, in their words, of “the complicated situation of people living after these ideals failed.” While the Socialist past is the focus of most of their evocative installations and atmospheric films, Vatamanu and Tudor also find connections between the history they know intimately and the struggles worldwide.

Wan Yang 萬楊 94 Wan Yang (b. 1983, China) was born in Hunan, China. Yang is one of the youngest artists represented by 82 Republic and Connoisseur Contemporary. He develops his works using bold colour and precisely defined shapes to animate his subjects. Wan Yang often co-opts objects in nature such as light amongst the clouds, the metal, or the wood. In “Cloud” painting, he begins with a closely examined photograph of the clouds. After identifying and separately all the colours, he organises the colour values into vectorised outlines before transferring them onto the canvas. This rendering challenges the inverse relationship between the truth and the factitious, yet such exploration reveals a powerful three-dimensionality of a multifaceted oeuvre of profound abstraction.

Past exhibitions and projects include Ministry of Truth II: The Factitious and Its Realm, Boers-Li Gallery, Beijing, China in 2014; Cohere & Unroll, Space Station, Beijing, China in 2012; Sichuan Hot! New Paintings from Chongqing City, China, Queensland College of Art, Griffith University, Brisbane, Australia, Scope Basel, Basel, Switzerland, Scope Miami, Miami, USA, in 2009; he also had his solo exhibition Derivative, Connoisseur Art Gallery and Connoisseur Contemporary, Hong Kong, China in 2008; The 3rd Guiyang Biennale Exhibition, Guiyang Art Museum, Guizhou, China in 2007; and Archaeology of the Future, The 2nd Triennial of Chinese Art, Nanjing Museum, Nanjing, China in 2005.

95 Wang Keping 王克平 96

Wang Keping (b. 1949, Beijing) lives and works in Paris. Wang Keping is a founding member of the non-conformist artist group “The Stars” (Xing Xing), formed in 1979 during the post-Cultural Revolution “Beijing Spring”. This group of young avant-garde artists challenged the status quo and were pivotal in initiating some of the first free art expressions in the Post-Mao era bringing together like-minded artists such as Huang Rui and Ma Desheng. As one of France and China’s foremost sculptors, Wang Keping’s sculptures are an exploration of the human form. With a natural intuition of space and form, they convey a highly sensual representation of the female body, of man and woman, mother and child. Wang Keping reveals the natural forms of the wood: the grain; knots; and flaws to evoke the contours of the figures in his work. Inspired in his early years by masters of European Modernist and African sculpture, his search today stems from Buddhist ideas of simplicity and nature, material and the non-material, physical and spiritual, each piece defying definition. His sculptures have been acquired by several important art institutions around the world including the Fonds Muncipal d’Art Contemporain, Paris; Musée Cernuischi, Paris; M+ museum, Hong Kong; and the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford.

He was awarded the Volksbanken Art Prize in Germany in 1996 and took up art residencies organized by the International Exchange & Studio Program Basel (IAAB) in Edinburgh and Beijing in 2003 and 2008 respectively. Wehmer was also one of the organizers of the Beijing 798 Biennale in 2009 and has lectured at the Central Academy of Fine Arts, Tianjin Academy of Fine Arts, and the CDK project, a joint art exchange programme between the University of the Arts, Berlin and the China Academy of Art, Hangzhou.

William Yang 106 William Yang (b. 1943, Australia) is a third-generation Chinese-Australian artist.

He was born in North Queensland and moved to Sydney in 1969 and worked as a freelance photographer documenting Sydney’s social life, which included the glamorous celebrity set and the hedonistic sub-cultural gay community. From 1989 onwards he integrated his photographic practice with writing, performance and film, in which slide projection with monologue theatre performances that explore personal stories and identity have become the main expression of his work. Yang’s current work is photo-based and includes performances in theatres and gallery exhibitions.

He is currently a visiting fellow at the University of New South Wales, where he conducts story-telling workshops and converts his performance pieces into DVDs, a project funded upon his receiving of a two-year Australia Council Fellowship in 2010.
