Film: Art Basel announces 2015 program for Hong Kong

CINEMA

Art Basel’s Film sector will return for its second year and will present 38 works by 36 artists, exploring seven diverse themes curated by Beijing and Zurich-based multi-media artist and producer Li Zhenhua. Highlights of the program include seminal works from the 1960s and 70s by artists Marina Abramović and Michael Craig-Martin, alongside important video work by Yu Cheng-ta, Cheng Ran and Yan Xing, and many others. New works by Chen Tianzhuo, Lu Yang and Song Kun will be premiered within the sector. The Art Basel film program will be shown at the agnès b. CINEMA at the Hong Kong Arts Centre from Saturday, March 14 to Tuesday, March 17.

Li Zhenhua's selection for the Hong Kong show explores seven different themes. ‘Urbanity’ reflects on the fears exposed by urban development on a global scale, featuring work by Chen Tianzhuo, Song Kun, UJINO and Raed Yassin, while ‘Minor Revolution’ focuses on two powerful works by Tatzu Nishi and Yu Cheng-ta. ‘Healing’ looks at the process and attempt of overcoming pain and trauma with works by Shimabuku, Lei Benben, MASBEDO (Nicolò Massazza and Jacopo Bedogni), Aikaterini Gegisian, Hiroko Okada, Yukihiro Taguchi, Liu Yujia, and Liu Xinyi. Showing video pieces by Chen Qiulin, Hsu Chia-Wei, Yao Jui-Chung, Cao Guimarães, Zhou Tao, and Liu Shiyuan, 'Nowhere' looks at spaces that are 'non-spaces', while ‘Reperform, Reconstruct, Represent’ is dedicated to recurring stories, like the ones that have been passed on by travelling poets and storytellers. The program will feature work by Tobias Bernstrup, John Akomfrah, Liberte Grace (Amy Tan), Lei Lei, Yan Xing and Yao Qingmei. ‘Animated Reality’ will try to deconstruct the boundaries between the real and fantasy and looks at perception, showing works by Lu Yang, Adam Shecter, Hans Op de Beeck, Chang Li-Ren, Zhang Xiaotao, and Richard Lewer. On Tuesday, the film program ends with ‘Goddess’, showing 'Freeing the Voice' by Marina Abramović from 1975 alongside work by Cheng Ran.

Film is free and open to the public. As capacity is limited, tickets are available on a first- come first-served basis. For more information and the full list of participating galleries, please visit artbasel.com/hongkong/film.
