NORTH POINT /Q UARRY BAY

Dear Friends of Para Site, After 18 years of serving Hong Kong from a tiny space in Sheung Wan, making our contribution to our city’s thriving art scene and nourishing a community of people from different walks of life, Para Site is ready to turn the page for a second chapter in its existence. Early next year, we will open in brand-new premises in North Point/Quarry Bay. The much larger and upgraded exhibition facilities will bring Para Site’s infrastructure in line with its programmes and reputation as a leading Hong Kong and Asian contemporary art centre operating in a global context.

But this change has not come overnight and is the result of a tremendous amount of work and dedication in building Para Site over the years. This past year, in particular, has been a record-breaking one for us, with the biggest press coverage of our events, the largest number of visitors over the

year and of any single exhibition, as well as the greatest number of iterations for Para Site’s touring exhibitions. Groundbreaking projects such as

Ten Million Rooms of Yearning. Sex in Hong Kong, Great Crescent: Art and Agitation in the 1960s— Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan, Golden Heights Estate, Islands off the Shores of Asia, and Eros, among others, attracted thousands of visitors and received widespread coverage both regionally and globally. Hong Kong was for three days the global epicentre for performance art and contemporary dance during our annual conference Is the Living

Year travelled to Taipei and Seoul and is getting ready for San Francisco in the spring of next year, at the same time as Great Crescent’s showcase at the Mori Art Museum in Tokyo.

This year’s auction is crucial for Para Site’s transformation into the art centre this city deserves. The community that came together two decades ago to found Para Site—the community that has stood by it at every step of the way, in harder times as well as in the more auspicious years, the community that we are humbly serving with all our work—has in great solidarity answered our call for a joint effort to produce Para Site’s largest auction to date. This year’s selection comprises extraordinarily high-quality lots from a mix of some of the most promising emerging artists to some of the leading figures both in Hong Kong and on the world stage. We are extremely grateful to all the artists and galleries who have donated this fantastic range of works, as well as to our rapidly expanding family of Founding Friends, Friends, Associates and supporters who have generously helped us bring our dreams within reach. We also wish to thank the following

organisations for their contributions: Absolut, Altaya Wines, AXA Art Insurance, Helu-Trans and Paddle8 as well as the Para Site Board of Directors and staff for taking on this ambitious challenge—and to everyone who believes that Hong Kong deserves a contemporary art centre of an international calibre.

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.

It reveals the invisible, gives shape to the intangible and makes memories less hazy.
