Para Site is delighted to present the group exhibition titled Minding the G®a(s)p, featuring recent works and new commissions by C&G Artpartment, Eastman Cheng, Chow Chun Fai, Jaffa Lam, Lau Hok Shing, Lulu Ngie, and Wong Wai Yin.
The English title of the exhibition Minding the G®a(s)p is a triple entendre—gap, gasp, grasp. It is a way to draw attention to the space between seeing and knowing in the exhibition viewing experience and it might be greater than the audience might first realise. The gasp is the surprise when the audience discovers new narratives or ideas when they are able to look beyond preconceived notions related to the seven mid-career artists/artist collectives on view in the exhibition. The exhibition's curator Celia Ho proposes to the audience to approach each work individually, in order to grasp the significance and context behind each one of them.
The opening reception on 13 May includes the performance NMNT Vault, Production of Counterfeit Banknote Workshop by Eastman Cheng, in collaboration with the Counterfeit Banknote production team Leung Kwong Yiu and Cho Wing Ki, at 6:30–8:30pm.
Gallery address: 22/F, Wing Wah Industrial Building, 677 King’s Road, Quarry Bay
