Para Site is delighted to present the group exhibition ‘signals…瞬息’ (18 March–29September 2023) curated by Billy Tang and Celia Ho. The exhibition marks the firstchapter of the new direction for Para Site and will feature a series of commissions andexisting works in dialogue with an experimental display structure that will transformthroughout the exhibition.
‘Signals’ in the context of the exhibition are modes of kinetic art, communication, actions,and interventions to create a chain of reactions. As such, the participating artists will makeuse of cues including sound, smell, movement, and smoke to interrogate complex issuesrelated to dispersed communities, migratory flows, and the intersection of technology,science, and architecture. The exhibition will unfold over three phases: ‘signals…stormsand patterns’ (opening 17 March) will focus on self-organisation and the politics of space incontemporary artmaking; ‘signals…folds and splits’ (opening 2 June) will in turn reflect onthe temporality of artworks and alternative economies of time; and finally, ‘signals…hereand there’ (opening 4 August) will explore dispersal as a strategy to think aboutcontemporary global issues through the lens of Hong Kong.
