Event: Opening Reception of “The Burning Edge: Making space, activating form”－ First major exhibition showcases the work of School of Creative Media faculty (Run Run Shaw Creative Media Centre Grand Opening Festival programme)
Date: 12 January 2012 (Thursday)
Time: 6:30 pm
Venue: CMC Gallery, L3, Run Run Shaw Creative Media Centre, CityU
18 Tat Hong Road, Kowloon Tong (please refer to the attached map for direction)
Seeking to play a leading role in the dialogue between the architecture of Creative Media Centre and its appropriation, the exhibition curated by Robin Peckham casts a critical gaze on strategies of experience and activation by inviting faculty members of School of Creative Media(SCM) to construct human networks within the building that will take advantage of the new propositions this site can offer. Reference to the tangyang architectural modeling technique of the Qing court, an appropriation of the technique in order to open a path for the media qualities of architecture apart from media architecture, this exhibition forms a virtual "burning edge" that will momentarily ignite and produce new and unpredictable spaces of its own.
Acting as the mainstay of exploiting the creative industry in Hong Kong, the extraordinary artistic expression of SCM faculty members make this exhibition an outstanding achievement. 24 artists include:
Oscar Au／Robert Ellis-Geiger／Fu Hongbo／Tobias Gremmler／Scott Hessels／Hui Nga Shu, Rita／Ip Yuk-Yiu／Linda Chiu-han Lai／Ulf Langheinrich／Julian Lee／Leino, Olli Tapio／Leung Chi Wo／Eddie Leung Hiu Ming／Phoebe Man／Hector Rodriguez／Daniel C. Howe／ Bill Seaman／Phil Shek Ming Fai／Partick Tam／Tamás Waliczky／S. Louisa Wei／Koala Yip／Samson Young／Yu Ka Ho
Special performance by Christine He and Vince Lau for Leung Chi Wo’s CC Bureau will be presented during the Opening Reception. Performance repeats on loop every 10 minutes from 6:30pm to 7:30pm.
Exhibition opens from 13 January to 30 April, 2012, Monday to Saturday 12pm to 8pm (closed on Sunday, public holidays except in April). Free admission. For more details of this exhibition and other programmes of CMC Grand Opening Festival, please visit www.cityu.edu.hk/cmc
