Wamono art is pleased to announce to host one day only screening event of Another GUTAI: Atsuko Tanaka at South Side Saturday on October 15th, 2022. The Japanese artistic group known as Gutai had an international impact from the late 1950s to the early 1970s. According to American artist Allan Kaprow, Gutai was the precursor of the Happening. Through French art critic Michel Tapie, the movement had close relations with the lnformal artists.

This film will look at the life and work of Atsuko Tanaka, as well as showing for the first time the process of making two-dimensional works, interviews with curators, gallerists, and artists, as well as valuable documentary photographs and 8mm films taken during the 1950s and 1960s

Venue address: WerkRaum 10A, Derrick Industrial Building, 49 Wong Chuk Hang Rd, Wong Chuk Hang

Coinciding with the opening of Damien Hirst’s solo exhibition ‘His Own Worst Enemy’ at White Cube Hong Kong, the artist’s acclaimed film Treasures from the Wreck of the Unbelievable will be screened at the Asia Society Hong Kong Center on 2 December 2021 and 7 January 2022.

This is the first time Treasures from the Wreck of the Unbelievable (2017) has been shown in Asia. The film chronicles the extraordinary backstory behind Hirst’s eponymous exhibitions at the Punta della Dogana and Palazzo Grassi in Venice, 2017, which were over ten years in the making and revolved around the unearthing of the wreck of a large ship, the ‘Unbelievable’ (Apistos in the original Koine Greek). Directed by Sam Hobkinson and produced by Nicolas Kent, the film gets to the bottom of Hirst’s mission, following a team of archaeologists and divers to the trove of cargo where the story began.

A invitation to join Ugnayan - Daloy Dance Company's first ever virtual intensive that focuses on highlighting Filipino contemporary dancers and choreographers from around the world.

We would love for as many Filipino dancers from across the globe to re-root to their Filipino heritage through a fun network of friends and peers in the contemporary dance field. Relationships as a strong root system for ‘Ugnayan’, connections. We would love for more Filipino dance artists in the diaspora to have more friends in the Philippines, and Pinas-based dance artists to have more friends abroad.

In partnership with Eaton HK, “Videos in My Closet: Video Art Selections by Videotage” looks into the Hong Kong LGBTQ+ community through the lens that how artists perform their gender and sexual identities and cultures in front of it. While the LGBTQ+ community is now normalized by the commercial world and consumer market as Pink Economy, the identity politics in Hong Kong has gradually shifted from the focus on social hierarchy to nationalism/localism. The LGBTQ+ community is now apparently walking side by side with the current social movements, but the gender and sexual orientation issues seem to be overlooked in the spotlight for the tension between pro/against the movements. By presenting queer artist videos, “Videos in My Closet: Video Art Selections by Videotage” attempt to explore the alternative expressions of queer identity excluded in the storytelling-based media industry, and also extend the public imaginations toward queers beyond the depictions in mass media.

Venue address: Kino, 1/F, Eaton HK, 380 Nathan Rd, Yau Ma Tei, Kowloon

In this evening program, we say farewell to our current exhibition, The Art And Inspiration Of Irene Chou. The Evening will begin with a documentary screening of the film The Universe of Irene Chou (Zhou Luyun)—In Her Own Words which was commissioned in 2004 to mark the artist's 80th birthday. The short film shows Irene speak about her life and art, allowing viewers to catch a glimpse of the character behind her paintings. The screening will be followed by a Q&A session with the exhibition’s curator Joyce Wong, and independent curator Johnson Chang.

Join us afterward for one last glance through the exhibition guided by our docents and enjoy a cocktail reception as ASHK says thank you to the sponsor, lenders, supporters, volunteers, docents and you the public who all helped make this exhibition so successful.

"Metropolis" sets the standard for cinematic art in many ways, from its vivid imagination of the future, to its innovative realisation of architecture and bold experimentations in special effects. Its take on architecture was particularly remarkable: the metropolis of the film's title is a terrifying exaggeration of the modern city, with easily-recognizable architectural styles -- Art Deco, Bauhaus, early Modernism -- that were made gloomy and nightmarish. Bizarrely, in the decades after the film was made, real-life cities began to resemble the one in the film, as if "Metropolis" had subconsciously inspired architects to build monstrously-proportioned, inhuman housing projects and office complexes.

18:00 - 19:30 Panel Discussion with Ken Ip, Group Head of Marketing, B.S.C. Group and Gianni Talamini, Assistant Professor, Department of Architecture & Civil Engineering City University of Hong Kong
19:30 Film Screening "Metropolis" (1927) with live sounds improvised by experimental techno artist AKF (Romantic Ecchi HK)
