For “A Fictional Residency” in Hong Kong, Witte de With and Spring invited Dutch novelist Oscar van den Boogaard to be a writer-in-residence at Spring. During his stay in Hong Kong he worked with Hong Kong-based artists, journalists, and writers Nadim Abbas, Enoch Cheng, Doretta Lau and MAP Office. The four-day writing session culminated in this eponymous book of short stories launched on June 29, 2013, at Spring.
In tandem with the book presentation, artist and curator Heman Chong directs A Fictional Residency‘s version of Lucia Melts (2001), a play by Oscar van den Boogaard that will be performed at Spring. More info on Open Studio Night, June 29.
