The first Sunday marked our busiest day here since arriving, we had nearly 1,000 visitors stepping through to see “Shirley Tse: Stakeholders, Hong Kong in Venice”. During my internship at the Hong Kong Pavilion which started in September, I photographed countless visitors who saunter through our wooden-door entrance. The photographs captured them in candid freeze-frames and I sketched those who made an indelible impression on me.

How to greet people in Italian and why does it even matter?

“May You Live in Interesting Times,” the title of the 58th edition of the Venice Biennale, is said to be an ancient Chinese curse, though none of the Chinese here at the Biennale, at least those I have met, seem to have any inkling where this comes from.

不經不覺間，已經開展了實習一個月。在此期間，學會的不只是書中的知識，更是許多人生經驗。 在這個文化沙漠當中，究竟怎麼樣的藝術才能讓市民有煥然一新的感覺呢？我想，應該只有這樣與眾不同的展覽吧。

七月尾聲的到來， 意味着美好的暑假已悄悄地溜走了一大半。不知不覺中， 我已經在WKCDA實習將近一個月。

每天準時9時登上穿梭巴士，9時12分踏進西九項目辦公室。原來這樣日復日的模式已維持了快將一個月，快得我感覺仍像第一天報到般。

今年由藝術家吳家俊（阿喜）參與的「M+敢探號」流動創作教室及展覽，以「是事是物」為主題，透過各種遊戲與活動，邀請觀眾運用想像力，從而打破看待事物的習慣

Half of the internship has quickly passed. Besides the repetition of work and daily life, simultaneously there were some interesting and funny episodes which happened with the visitors, highlighted our days in the venue.

 

How can we not talk about the waters in the city of water?

M+展亭現正進行名為「廣東快車」的展覽，這是一個關於90年代珠三角地區的當代藝術展覽。M+作為一所當代藝術博物館，觀眾理所當然會認為內裡的展品都是新的，沒有想到其實「廣東快車」中大部份作品都經過修復員修復才可以在M+展亭重新展出。
