1. Lam Tung Pang, Exhibition at CSM London





Just visited Lam's website and revisited his paintings and installations. The minimal and delicate touch of these works reminds me of a few other younger artists from CUHK-Fine Arts Dept. There seems a distinctive style by generation from the institute (where I came from also). He likes Luc Tuymans, which is quite obvious, and Chinese landscape, which is fairly reflected in some traits of the introspectiveness of the paintings.





2. Danny Yung, New Book Launch





Consisting of his correspondence to collaborating artists, critiques to cultural policies, talks and recent performance scripts, the IATC book is a good resource to understand more about Danny's art, in various perspectives. Yes, theatre is just the tip of the.... iceberg(?) of his creations. Beuy's term comes to my mind: social sculpture. Not a lot of artists succeed to be that holistic. Unfortunately the editing of the book does not reflect much of the architectural aesthetics.




Danny will be there with Leung Man Tao and Long Tin (the editor) at Red & Book, 2nd floor of HK Arts Center at 3pm, 28 Aug (that's tomorrow).





3. Para/site, Moved





Gutierrez + Portefaix's exhibition "Territories" will be the first one after Para/site moved, to next door. Heard about MAP that the two HK-based French architects and professors run for a long time, so it's a good chance to meet the persons and see more of their works. The opening of the exhibition (video + installation) and the inauguration of the gallery takes place on 9 September (6-8pm).
