HART Visiting Artist-in-Residence 藝術家駐留計劃 - Bunny Cadag
We are delighted to share that Bunny Cadag, the final artist presenting live work for the exhibition ‘The Embrace and the Passage’, is hosted by HART for an artist residency in collaboration with Para Site.
During her residency, Cadag will conduct field research, including community engagement and workshops, to enrich her practice in pre- and postcolonial gender plurality, singing rituals, and healing. Often participatory and community-based, her work amplifies marginalised voices while navigating forms and spaces with empathy and generosity.
Join us this February for a series of programmes leading up to the exhibition closing—stay tuned for details and registration!
Para Site展覽「棲與渡」中最後一位呈現行為作品的藝術家 Bunny Cadag 將參與 HART 的合作駐留。
駐留期間，藝術家將進行田野考察，透過社區參與及工作坊，豐富其圍繞前與後殖民性別多元、歌唱與療癒儀式展開的藝術實踐。其創作常包涵社群參與，突顯邊緣群體的聲音，以同理心和慷慨遊刃於多樣的型態與空間。
我們將於二月份展覽謝幕前夕，舉辦一系列公眾活動。敬請留意活動及報名詳情。
HART Visiting Artist-in-Residence 藝術家駐留計劃 - Lesley-Anne Cao
Lesley-Anne Cao (b.1992, Philippines) explores materiality, languages, and transformative processes through installation, sculpture, video, and text. Using intuitive methods and process-driven approaches, she prompts reflection on everyday life to uncover hidden social structures that shape our behaviors and the environment. She had her first solo exhibition at the Cultural Center of the Philippines in 2018, and it was shortlisted for the Fernando Zóbel Prize for Visual Art in 2019.
Upon Lesley’s previous international artist residences at Gasworks (2023) in London; Finland, and Taipei, we are delighted to welcome her to Hong Kong! On 1 December 2024, we will hear from the artist after her 3 weeks of stay, comprising exhibition-making at @blindspotgallery, conversations with curator(s), art practitioners, and HART artists, as well as various material studies across neighbourhoods of Hong Kong.
Tea, Juice, Bird York & Sharing Party 茶、果汁、鳥約 & 分享派對

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.

"BODY EMBEDDING" – Performance-Sharing by Ursula Maria Probst & Nicole Sabella
In collaboration with Medo Art Space (Vienna), HART is delighted to be a partner of the international project BODY EMBEDDING, initiated by Hongwei Duan and Ursula Maria Probst. The project is launched as an artist-in-residence programme in cooperation with Southeast European cultural institutions and in which artists from various geopolitical regions of Asia and Europe participate, the canon of her/historiography is reformulated through a "herstory", through narrative structures derived from a situated production of experience and knowledge.

"INWEAVE" – Performance and Sharing by Artist-in-Residence Sara Lanner
(活動詳情請參閱以下英文介紹)
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.
Book Sharing - NEW TERRITORIES 界 by Justin Hui
Artist and architect Justin Hui will be sharing his new photobook “New Territories”, published by Asia One. The series of images from the title explores the changing landscape of Hong Kong's northern frontier, caught between its past and ongoing integration with mainland China. It is a journey across the ruins of fading memories of what once was to discover the meaning of home in a city that is ever changing.
HART Hub #11: Tap Chan "Tool Information Kiosk" | 陳沁昕"工具詢問處"
HART Alumni Artist Tap Chan’s works of sculpture and installation explore boundaries between fiction and reality, through using numerous commonly found and unusual equipment. She collects tools for specific usage from around the world, and hopes to display these small working companions at the upcoming sharing session “Tool Information Kiosk”, to share with our audience and peer creatives her experiences and tips!
HART 之友藝術家陳沁昕素來以雕塑和裝置藝術作品來探索虛構與現實間的界線，因而接觸過無數常見或生僻的工具。她於世界各地搜羅了各種用途獨特的器材，並藉著今次“工具詢問處”的分享活動展示這些創作藝術不可或缺的小伙伴，與我們的觀眾及同儕創作人交流使用心得及貼士！
HART Hub #13: “Out of Syllabus Salon" with Law Man Lok 羅文樂「化外沙龍—東歐文藝二三事」
A salon is not a teaching course, but a cultural gathering for sharing ideas and making friends of similar interests. This salon will be led by guest art practitioners to share topics ranging from Kazimir Malevich’s Suprematism, Czech New Wave films, and the fictions of Bruno Schulz. This will be a cosy gathering for all-levels and all will co-learn during discussions. Reading materials will be provided beforehand and we highly encourage you to participate in all three sessions as a complete cultural journey.
沙龍不是教學課程，而是希望參與者都分享想法、認識同好的文藝聚會。沙龍會將由藝術工作者嘉賓分享馬列維奇的至上主義、捷克新浪潮電影以及布魯諾・舒爾茨的小說等題目。這將是一個氣氛輕鬆、深入淺出的聚會，希望與參加者從討論中切磋琢磨。我們會提供事前閱讀材料。我們強烈推薦你參與完整三節的沙龍獲取完整體驗。
HART x HKAS | Sharing Session - Approaches to the Archive: Three Perspectives
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?

HART/Beat Sharing #3 | On Art Adminstration & Management (Re-run)
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
HART Hub#4 | LEARNING ABOUT ARTIST COLLECTIVES AND ART INITIATIVES – SHARING
One of the founders of the Tainan-based CHT.Art Project, Bouie Choi, takes another role as a Hausian – an artist working at HART Haus the studio in Hong Kong. She is now currently residing at the CHT.Art Project space in Tainan, together with Stephanie Sin, another Hong Kong artist. Thanks to the two artists, who will be the ambassadors showing us the current status and developments of the artists-run space and the project, through live video conference call to make at HART Haus in this evening. We are very delighted to have the other key members of the initiative – Frank Tang, Alice Wong and Ling Pui Sze – coming to the studio to join HART to meet you, to share the vision and values of the Project, as well as their experiences working for this collaborative initiative. While Jeannie Wu, Director of HART Collective, shall respond and interact with all artists working for CHT.Art Project, on the challenges and benefits gained from the planning and implementation of art initiatives alike. Besides Bouie who will be engaging the sharing, other Hausians will join our conversation.
Let’s explore the challenges and opportunities face by CHT and HART the two artists-focused collectives. We welcome all artists, practitioners in creative industries and interested-parties in self-run/initiated projects to join.
《過海的》成員蔡鈺娟Bouie現為駐Hart Haus藝術工作者之一，剛好於8月與另一成員冼朗兒(Stephanie)一同在台南駐留，藉此機會透過現場直播，帶大家參觀一下這個自營空間。而在HART Haus香港現場亦會有《過海的》成員鄧啟耀(Frank)、Alice Wong、凌佩詩來分享藝術駐留計劃的理念以及合作經驗。HART Haus總監胡津如將會為大家介紹HART Haus理念，由策劃到執行的一些挑戰與得著。同時HART Haus藝術家也會出席交流，以第一身分享在不同空間創作的經驗。台南及香港的藝術空間在營運上又有什麼挑戰和契機？歡迎藝術家、創意工業從業員及對自營空間感興趣的人士一同交流自發計劃的樂趣。
HART Hub#3 | A SHARING BY ART PRACTITIONERS IN HONG KONG
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
