This is a rare chance to see a nostalgic photo collection and objects from 1970 to 1980's Hong Kong and a unique collection of video art from Hong Kong's 80s.

6)      Oct 15: No Matter. Try Again. Fail Again (Gallery EXIT)
Kwan is one of my favourite artists in Hong Kong. He does not produce art works or have shows very often. Recently he has been working on the Internet art TV channel Hong Kong Arts Discovery Channel.

I appreciate this video programme’s combination of artists from different background and ages. Highlights include Howard Cheng, Woo Ling Ling, and Taiwan-Hong Kong-based artist Ban Zhang's video.

This workshop shares how to make D.I.Y. Light-motion painting as a part of 'Night Light Graffiti' OPEN AIR Performance on October 31. A week before the OC closing, Graphicairline and Lomography will show you to the way to be an artistic creative activist!
