In 2022, the Asian Cultural Council supported Wu Jiaru the “New York Fellowship '', a 6-month exchange research in New York from January 2023. Wu’s exchange experience embarked a new perspective as a new immigrant, while seeking creative identity in the new era of the New Cold War, pandemics, and virtual reality 2.0 to expand her artistic practice and reflections.

Please join us on 9 September 2023 (Saturday) afternoon, as HART will host an artist sharing tea party. The event will be conducted in Cantonese, as Wu Jiaru shares anecdotes, experiences, and insights, from the development of her fellowship residing in New York. A screening of Wu’s latest video works handHeld_foreignLine_ii (2023) and movingImage_windowCollection_Pablo (2023) will also be arranged, followed by a Q&A discussion with the audience. Registration for seats now!

吳佳儒於2022年獲得亞洲文化協會「紐約獎助計劃」支持，於2023年1月前往紐約進行為期半年的駐地項目。交流期間吳以新移民的角度，於新冷戰、流行病及虛擬現實 2.0的語境下尋找其創作身份而展現的藝術實踐及反思。

HART 將於2023年9月9日（星期六）下午舉辦藝術家分享茶會，以廣東話進行。屆時吳佳儒將分享紐約駐留的趣聞以及當中創作的經驗與心得，並放映兩件最新錄像作品《handHeld_foreignLine_ii》(2023年) 及《movingImage_windowCollection_Pablo》(2023年)，隨後與觀眾進行問答討論，歡迎報名留座。

We are delighted to invite you to an evening with visiting artist Sara Lanner (b. 1991, Austria), concluding her one-month residency at HART Social Studio.

As a visual artist and choreographer, Lanner uses the body to engage performance art as an architectural medium, translating different functions of spaces–used or abandoned, power dynamics within certain usage by communities, and as the centre of collective thoughts for framing diverse personalities. The performance INWEAVE demonstrates Lanner’s interim research in Hong Kong, followed by an artist-led sharing session. “Interweave” as a recurring subject in her performances, Lanner’s choreography combines histories of locality, found materials from the everyday, and her cultural experiences/clashes during the research process. Lanner therefore tries to pose a question: how can art deconstruct social conventions, while reconstructing them with care and social justice, promoting positive impacts for the future?

Date: 29 Dec 2022, Thurs
Time: 7:30-8:30pm (15-min performance, followed by artist’s presentation and roundtable sharing with the audience)
Location: HART Haus

This event will be facilitated in English.

Ink is a unique artistic medium. Works by ink artist(s) and practitioners have always become the ways to explore the relationships between traditional and contemporary practices, and to study the complexity of the multifaceted contemporary cultural contexts. HART artitsts-in-residence Chui Pui Chee and Natalie Chu are graduates from The Chinese University of Hong Kong yet growing up from different environments. How have they learnt about Chinese art? How do they transform these concepts and expressions with along history in their creative approaches and languages?

HART and Hong Kong Archives Society proudly presents - ‘Approaches to the Archive: Three Perspectives’, a sharing session to examine different approaches to manage, use and work with archives across various sectors.

We have the pleasure to be able to invite three professionals to share their experience with us: Sjoerd Hoekstra from Design For Culture Limited, Angharad McCarrick from M+ Museum, and Jenny Yu from HSBC Archives. Spanning from the creative and design sector, to art and cultural institutions, as well as international commercial and financial companies, how are the designs, functionalities and maintenance of their archives different? Why do we need these archives, and how can this bring insights to the management of data and records in our daily lives?

Quite a few established institutions in Hong Kong have addressed the needs for professional training for individuals, who are interested to learn the role of art administrator and art managers, but there are very few continuous discussions and explorations for such demands. For this very brief 105 minutes encounter that we are to co-create at HART Haus, let us discover a few aspects of this subject matter:

• How ‘all-rounded’ should an art administrator/manager be – and why the role is expected to perform in such a way?

• How many types of art administrators/ managers are there in Hong Kong? – A general overview

• The myths of the art world in the eyes of an art manager – let us start with a keyword hunting game

現時香港頗多專業機構有提供針對藝術行政管理有興趣人士的訓練課程，但繼續討論及發掘這專門行業的需求實在很小。HART 希望透過一節 105 分鐘的共創體驗，跟參與者探索以下專題：

• 為何藝術行政管理人員需要非常「全面」？應如何傳譯這項「全面」？

• 概括而言，香港有幾多種藝術行政管理？

• 專業人員眼中大眾對藝術行業的謎思 － 不如由關鍵字狩獵遊戲開始

As the arts and cultural scene in Hong Kong proliferates, it has never been an easy journey for many local practitioners in the field. No matter whether you are an artist, an art administrator, or a representative from an art initiative/non-profit organisation, one needs to pass through many hurdles in order to see the fruits ripen. From content creation, seeking resources, to planning and execution of cultural events, as well as maintaining different kinds of spaces/institutions/organisations, how do we survive for the identities and roles we chose to take for ourselves? What are our priorities and values?

HART has the pleasure to be able to invite three insiders of the field to share with us their own stories and lessons learnt. Speakers of the evening include:

• Jaime Chong, independent artist in Hong Kong, currently participant of our Social Studio project (Hausian)

• Susi Law, cultural engineer of Art & Cultural Outreach, also an artist and curator

• Jeannie Wu, director of HART Collective, also director of Hong Kong Archives Society, arts advisor
