【New on LIKE A FEVER! | Mimi Khúc, “A Pedagogy of Unwellness”】 What hurts? And how do we go on living while it hurts? Mimi Khúc’s latest piece on LIKE A FEVER begins to answer these questions while interrogating the myth of meritocracy, ableism in the academy, and mental health’s insistence on wellness. Rooted in too-big feelings and stories from her teaching, her words ask us to turn our gaze to the structures that keep us unwell—and to recognise that being unwell is not a failure. Excerpted from her creative-critical book, “dear elia: Letters from the Asian American Abyss,” Khúc opts out of the tenure book form that upholds the systems of value she aims to tackle—enacting the same kind of care she advocates for.

【Join our online talk introducing the Zahoor ul Akhlaq Archive】 Co-presented by Asia Art Archive and Hauser & Wirth Institute, this event brings together art historians Samina Iqbal and Simone Wille to share their research from the Zahoor ul Akhlaq Archive, AAA’s forthcoming Research Collection. Zahoor ul Akhlaq (1941–99) is one of the most influential artists and art educators from Pakistan. Comprising photographic materials, writings, correspondence, sketchbooks, and drawings, Akhlaq’s archive traces the artist’s development from his student years to his subsequent role as a teacher and administrator, showcasing how he combined modernist abstraction with traditions of calligraphy and miniature painting. Iqbal’s presentation investigates how Akhlaq conveyed his artistic vision through public projects, while Wille establishes an understanding of how different geographies, landscapes, and architectural details informed Akhlaq’s practice. This online talk is free and open to the public with registration via our link in bio. Digitisation and processing of the Zahoor ul Akhlaq Archive was made possible with the generous support of the Hauser & Wirth Institute. — Image 1: Zahoor ul Akhlaq, “Fish,” 1997.

【Books to read alongside “Another Day in Hong Kong”】 Come visit our exhibition “Another Day in Hong Kong” and read books recommended by our Curatorial and Research teams! Here’s a reading list to broaden and deepen your understanding of the exhibition’s concept and context: 📗 Revisit photographs from Oscar Ho’s “One Day in Hong Kong,” the exhibition that inspired the concept behind “Another Day in Hong Kong.” These were photographs taken by Hong Kong’s public on a single day in 1990 to explore how the city’s visual culture is in embedded in daily life. 📙 By layering archival images with personal memories and anecdotes, the dream-like pages of “Hong Kong Memories” capture the spirit of Holly Lee’s practice and echo the curatorial concept of “Another Day in Hong Kong.” 📒 See how nineteen local photographers—including Lee Ka-sing and Holly Lee—explore the theme “On Hong Kong” in this 1997 issue of “NuNaHeDuo (Dislocation)” and offer distinct perspectives of a transitional moment in time. 📔 View the varied artworks included in “Portraiting Our CE 2017,” along with photo documentation of four previous instalments of the exhibition from 1996 to 2012, which invited artists to express their visions and concerns for the future of Hong Kong. 📗 “Para/Site 1996” pieces together the independent art space’s first five years through articles and archival images of artworks, exhibitions, and the local art scene in Hong Kong. 📕 Get a sense of the then-emerging local art scene in “Contemporary Hong Kong Art Biennial Exhibition 1996” that includes adjudicator’s reviews and highlighted artworks, such as an essay by Wucius Wong, and artworks by Jaffa Lam and Frog King Kwok Mang Ho. #AsiaArtArchive #AnotherDayinHongKong #readinglist #hongkongart #hongkongexhibition
【Weekend Read | But Survival Doesn’t Work Like That】 Written in the thick of his Winter 2023 teaching semester, Michael Leung’s essay “But Survival Doesn’t Work Like That” reflects on his week-long experiment of fully committing to self-publishing.

【Exhibition highlights | Florence Lam, “Who am I?”】 On 19 October 1996, Florence Lam was only a four-year-old toddler. Her memories of that day have faded, so she turned to her mother to find out what may have happened. During their interview, Lam saw how even adults couldn’t rely solely on their own memories to verify their experiences. Presented in the form of a children’s book, the interview’s stories are retold as conversations between Lam’s child- and adult-self, and in recorded form featuring her mother’s voice. The cow-shaped bookshelf, tailor made by our colleague, Isabella Chan, references Florence’s favourite toy. While children’s books appear to be simple, they shed light on how storytelling—whether personal or historical—inevitably contains elements of fiction. Through a child’s gaze, we may learn to question narratives that appear fixed and relearn stories with a restored open-mindedness. — All images: Florence Lam, “Who Am I?,” artist’s book, 2024.

【Weekend read | Tell, Don’t Show】 This week’s spotlight from LIKE A FEVER is Hong Kong–based bilingual writer Wong Chun Ying’s essay “Tell, Don’t Show.” Drawing from her experiences working in film, journalism, restaurants, and art, Wong reflects on truth, connection, and love. Attempting how to tell a story in darker and bolder shades, she colours in meaningful moments that emerged before and after the making of her 2020 short film, “Overflow.” Read the full piece via our link in bio. #AsiaArtArchive #LikeAFever #WeekendRead #artwriting #essay #hongkongwriter #filmcriticism

【April new arrivals!】 New titles on memes, migrant worker creatives, filmmaking, and more are now available. Come spend a leisurely afternoon reading at our library! 📗 Edited by Cem A. of @freezemagazine, “The Meme Kit” gives context and tools for dissecting Internet memes and their makers. 📗 This two-part zine features “Biography of a Fish,” which looks at the lives of fish in India, and “Omehen,” which transcribes a discussion with displaced Lumad children in the Philippines. This zine is part of “How To Not Build a Nation,” a project from South and Southeast Asia on how nation states reproduce colonial and pre-colonial violences. 📙 Designed in the style of a balikbayan (“to return home”) box, “Ingat” is an anthology of literary and artistic contributions by migrant worker creatives in Hong Kong. 📙 “WMA Images: Perspectives” commemorates twelve years of the Hong Kong non-profit, and its dedication to archiving lens-based media and inspiring social change. 📘 The guidebook for “Sharjah Biennial 15: Thinking Historically in the Present” lays out the postcolonial principles that underpin the exhibition, and introduces participating artists, works, and venues. 📘 “History Has Failed Us, But No Matter,” challenges normative histories of modernisation in East Asia through the lens of gender and tradition in the work of three women artists, who first exhibited at the Korean Pavilion at the 58th Venice Biennale. 📒 “A Conversation with the Sun” records a fictional discussion between artist and filmmaker Apichatpong Weerasethakul, the Sun, and other fabricated characters. Generated by GPT-3 from the artist’s prompts, it asks questions about authorship, authenticity, and human-technology relationships. 📒 Published on the occasion of his survey exhibition at MoMA PS1, “Rirkrit Tiravanija: A Lot of People” traces the Thai artist’s career trajectory and highlights the difficulty of historicising his practice. 📔 After a two-year hiatus, “Yishu: Journal of Contemporary Chinese Art” returns with an issue dedicated to the legacy of modern Chinese ink painter Pan Tianshou (1897–1971). #AsiaArtArchive #AAACollections #readinglist #library #arthistory #artbooks
【Meet AAA’s Try Try Zine resident Ning-Ning!】 As Try Try Zines nears its launch, we’re thrilled to introduce one of our 2024 zine residents Nicole M. Nepomuceno (Ning-Ning) and her zine “An Archive of Annotations.” In 2020, Ning-Ning, then still a student at the University of Hong Kong, made her first zine “where we come from, where we go next.” Noting a glaring absence of ethnic minority artists in Hong Kong art history, she looked through AAA’s entire database to look for them. In making her latest zine now, close to four years later, Ning-Ning recognises the limits of framing oneself as minority and as marginal, paying close attention to positioning the margin as an expanse, rather than a limiting periphery, where voices exist and permeate. She reached out to friends and collaborators, placing an emphasis on collecting stories that exist outside of institutional spaces. As indicated by the zine’s title, spaces for annotation abound—with the hopes that readers could, like herself, begin writing on their own terms. Learn more about our zine workshops via the link in bio. Kindly note that Ning-Ning’s scrapbooking workshop is by invitation only. Please contact [email protected] for more information. — Image 1: Zine resident Nicole M. Nepomuceno (Ning-Ning). Image 2: Ning-Ning, “An Archive of Annotations,” 2024.

책장 하나 규모의 서재에서 출발해 지금의 모습까지 왔다는 홍콩의 AAA아시아 아트 아카이브. 이 얘기를 듣고 웃지 않을 수 없었던 것이 나도 작은 서재를 가진 공간을 오픈한 적이 있다. 정말 무슨 생각이었던건지 지금으로서는 이해가지 않지만 학생 나부랭이었으면서 월세 100만원씩 주고 홍대에서 이런 서재를 만들어보겠다고.. 1년간 돈을 날려본적이 있다! 하지만 이토록 멋진 아카이브 센터를 보고 있자나, 대리만족이란 이런걸까. 주어진 정보를 습득하는 것만큼이나 그로부터 무한히 새로운 영역을 확대해가는 것이 중요한 미술에서 이런 라이브러리의 역할의 중요성을 새삼 느껴보게 되는 곳. 지금도 AAA에는 미술사에서 다소 수동적인 위치에 있었던 아시아 지역의 자료들이 계속해서 모이고 있다. 돌돌돌 돌리면 서재가 열리는 시스템도 은근히 중독적이다🏭 #asiaartarchive

my recent performance with Francisco Borges @awakedanceflow at @asiaartarchive on 24 Feb 2024 body container: questioning the line between me and you a boundless space sand soil and a thread that binds our bodies together in one common life in this space I see a ground that holds both me and you just the same I sense the wind that flows in and out this empty form from me it moves to you from you it comes and moves back to me words songs and fire fire warms the blood that runs and spills through vibrant red on pale white stone when will we wake up and see, the water that falls from these and those eyes comes from the same place? rivers searching for the sea... blind men stepping on each other hungry lost and thirsty despair turns the broken into scary monsters fighting makes life harsh and bitter war an absurd abommination can’t we see we long the same place..? a place that holds a place that shelters a place where peace holds the trembling hearts bloodfilled trenches finally covered, the ugly dividing lines now old scars on the face of an Earth that unites between me and you a boundless space sand soil and a thread that binds our bodies entangled in one common life poem @awakedanceflow photography @dorylab video installation, cinematography @tboogs artwork, knitted shredded maps @movanachen thank you @ozgeersoy @rebecca_hlt & everyone at AAA library team assisted on the performance! thank you so much for everyone who participated being part at our performance!

1996年10月19日，你可還記得當天發生的事嗎？ 原來翻開月曆，1996年的月曆，與2024年的月曆巧合地相同，祇是假期不同了。過去的人是如何想像未來？相隔28年，記憶與真實有否落差，抑或只是拼湊出來的模糊的印象和想像，在線性的時間洪流中，記憶會否受干擾、扭曲、轉移與流動。 一沙一世界，歷史由不同人的生活組成，亞洲藝術文獻庫 Asia Art Archive的展覽《香港再偶拾》，以當年這天作為切入點，重塑當天的藝術史面貌，展出紙本藏品、檔案文件、報章剪報、流行刊物、歌曲和廣告，並以文獻進行延伸和變奏，邀請6組不同年齡層的藝術家回應主題，一起偶拾這天。 香港再偶拾 日期｜2024.3.18 – 8.31（逢星期日及公眾假期休館） 時間｜10:00-18:00 地點｜亞洲藝術文獻庫 地址 | 上環荷李活道233號荷李活商業中心11樓 Do you still remember what happened on October 19, 1996? Upon flipping through the calendar, the calendar for 1996 happens to be the same as that of 2024, except for the differences in holidays. How did people in the past imagine the future? With a span of 28 years, is there a disparity between memory and reality, or is it merely a patchwork of vague impressions and imaginations? In the linear flow of time, can memories be influenced and distorted? Every grain of sand represents a world, and history is shaped by the lives of countless individuals. The exhibition “Another Day in Hong Kong” by Asia Art Archive seeks to recreate the artistic history of that day. It showcases paper collections, archival documents, newspaper clippings, publications, songs, and advertisements. Through these documents, the exhibition extends and reinterprets the past, inviting six groups of artists from different age brackets to engage with the theme and collectively rediscover the significance of that day. Another Day in Hong Kong Date ｜2024.3.18 – 8.31 (Closed on Sundays & public holidays) Time ｜10:00-18:00 Venue ｜Asia Art Archive Address | 11/F Hollywood Centre, 233 Hollywood Road, Sheung Wan, Hong Kong #AsiaArtArchive #hkreminiscence #hongkong #90s #90svintage #19961019 #hongkongartist #hollywoodroad #AnotherDayinHongKong # #香港再偶拾 #亞洲藝術文獻庫 #香港遺美 #荷李活道 #藝術家 #張子琪 #FlorenceLam #黃楚喬 #李家昇 #梁御東 #蕭競聰 #掩耳杜寧
【Exhibition highlights | A Call from 2024 to 19 October 1996】 One of the first works you encounter at our latest exhibition, “Another Day in Hong Kong,” is a three-channel video work titled “A Call from 2024 to 19 October 1996.” Compiling films, television shows, and advertisements, the montage serves as a time machine that takes you back to Hong Kong of the late 1990s—one that straddled pagers and landline, and nascent mobile and Internet technologies, suggesting the seismic shifts that were underway. The creators of this video work—our research team members Aki Kung and Pun Tsz Wai—offer you a small glimpse into the past. What memories can the archive activate? How do memory and imagination intersect to create personal or collective narratives? Find out more at our library exhibition, open Mon–Sat, 10am–6pm.

【Thank you for supporting LIKE A FEVER】 Earlier this month, we welcomed new faces and reconnected with old friends at LIKE A PARTY, a night celebrating the launch of AAA’s revamped publishing platform, LIKE A FEVER. Our panellists Michael Leung, Eva Wong Yi, and Emily Wong Chun Ying shared their personal attachments to writing and publishing, leading to a thoughtful round of questions from the crowd. A special edition DIY zine, featuring LIKE A FEVER’s “greatest hits,” was also a crowd favourite. As Ani Phoebe from Bad Times Disco stirred up the room with her radiant vinyl set, participants customised their own zines to bring home and wrote postcards to their future pen-pals. We hope that LIKE A PARTY marked the beginning to something—a query, an idea, a friendship—that spurs meaningful connections. In the meantime, check out new pieces on LIKE A FEVER and feel free to pitch to us anytime! — All images are from LIKE A PARTY, March 7 2024. Photo: Dory Cheng.

「香港三月 島聚推薦」：Asia Art Archive | Another Day in Hong Kong 重新激活檔案，激活對歷史的再想像，就是激活思考未來的新方法。在亞洲藝術文獻庫這個令人激動的新展覽中，香港藝術家被邀請重構歷史上的一天，1996年10月19日。這一天是亞洲藝術文獻庫香港館所有檔案日期的中位數，絕對理性的一天，香港歷史中的平凡一日，藝術的介入使看似冰冷的檔案重顯充沛的感性，充滿了Mark Fisher幽靈學意義上的憂鬱（hauntological melancholia）。這種重構也是政治性的，挑戰著所謂勝利者的進步史觀。如德里達所言，檔案所保存和複製的記憶不是既定的，而是一種「禮物」，它總在要求我們做出回應並承擔重任，因此它幽靈般的纏繞幾乎是倫理學的，特別是面對正義亟需修復的此時此地。 這必然是香港三月最佳展覽之一，也可能是今年最佳之一，因為它所面對和回應的東西正是瀰漫窒息於你我四周的現實和我們被緩慢取消的未來。 「香港三月 島聚推薦」將實時更新三月香港巴塞爾期間不可錯過的焦點展覽項目，並附上推薦簡評，敬請留意。 Reactivating archives, activating a reimagining of history, is essentially activating a new approach to thinking about the future. In this exciting new exhibition at the Asia Art Archive, Hong Kong artists are invited to reconstruct a day in history, October 19, 1996. This day serves as the median date for all archived documents in the Hong Kong branch of the Asia Art Archive, a day of absolute rationality, an ordinary day in Hong Kong's history. The intervention of art brings forth a vibrant sensibility from what seems like cold archives, imbued with a hauntological melancholia as described by Mark Fisher. This reconstruction is also political, challenging the progressive narrative of the so-called victors. As Derrida suggests, the memories preserved and replicated in archives are not given but rather a "gift" that always demands a response and bears responsibility, thus its haunting presence is almost ethical, especially in the here and now where justice urgently requires restoration. This is undoubtedly one of the best exhibitions in Hong Kong this March, and perhaps one of the best of the year, as it confronts and responds to the very things saturating the reality around us and the future which are being cancelled slowly. #島聚 #asiaartarchive #baselhongkong #contemporaryart #hongkongart #hongkongartist #artreview

【Another Day in Hong Kong | The story behind the chosen date】 AAA’s March exhibition, “Another Day in Hong Kong,” takes October 19, 1996 as its focal point. A seemingly arbitrary drop in the ocean of time, this date is the median in the timeline of AAA’s Hong Kong event database, representing the breadth of our Collections. Not much appears to have happened that day—flights continued to land and take off at Kai Tak airport, Tsing Ma Bridge underwent its usual day of construction. On this ostensibly uneventful day, over seventy arts and cultural events took place. Here, the provocations of the exhibition unfold: What happens when we look deeper into one day? What happens when we challenge the past as a settled record? What art histories emerge? — Image 1: Reproductions of lunar calendar entries for October 19, 1996 and 2024.

【Sign-up for this year’s Annual Artist’s Lecture】 We are thrilled to welcome Raqs Media Collective as our guest speakers for this year’s Annual Artist’s Lecture. Formed in New Delhi in 1992, Raqs Media Collective explores the intersection of contemporary art, philosophical speculation, and historical enquiry through films, publications, gatherings, lecture performances, and curatorial projects. In this lecture, Raqs Media Collective will reflect on their long-standing commitment to “kinetic contemplation,” especially regarding interruptions, distortions, shifts, twists, and flows in the perception and representation of time in daily life, archives, and imagined timelines. Before the lecture, a brunch reception will be held from 11am to 12pm.

【Announcing AAA’s March exhibition】 We are thrilled to announce AAA’s upcoming exhibition, “Another Day in Hong Kong.” Opening on 18 March, the exhibition meticulously reconstructs one day from Hong Kong’s art historical past, examining what a day in and of art history might look like. The exhibition borrows from precedents established by Oscar Ho’s 1990 exhibition, “One Day in Hong Kong,” which photographed a diverse set of people and events in a twenty-four-hour span. “Another Day in Hong Kong” expands upon Ho’s exhibition by exploring new dimensions. Archival materials from AAA’s Hong Kong Collections and other local archival resources will be displayed, alongside newly commissioned works by six groups of Hong Kong artists and collectives. Stay tuned for more posts about the exhibition! — “Another Day in Hong Kong” is generously supported by the Arts Capacity Development Funding Scheme of the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, Mimi Brown & Alp Erçil, Mimi Chun & Chris Gradel, and Wendy Lee & Stephen Li.

【Last week to view “mould the wing to match the photograph”】 Our exhibition on the Mrinalini Mukherjee Archive, “mould the wing to match the photograph,” closes this Thursday, 29 February. Seize your last chance to view rare archival materials and Mukherjee’s 1986 hemp sculpture “Pari.” Over the last six months, the exhibition brought about an exciting series of public programmes. We have been delighted to see visitors enjoy our curator-led tours with thoughtful questions. David Leung’s somatic movement workshop engendered heartfelt reflections on improvisation and instruction. Our Inter-Archives Conversations explored how researchers, curators, and editors approach instructions that artists leave with care. A knotting workshop allowed for a hands-on experience of the exhibition’s themes, and an online conversation dove into the multifaceted relationship between photography and sculpture. Tomorrow brings the exhibition’s final programme, a performance by artist Movana Chen and dancer Francisco Borges. Register via our link in bio! — “mould the wing to match the photograph” is generously supported by Mimi Brown & Alp Erçil, and Virginia & Wellington Yee. The Mrinalini Mukherjee Archive was made possible with the support of the Mrinalini Mukherjee Foundation and Godrej Seeds and Genetics Ltd. We would like to extend our gratitude to the Kiran Nadar Museum of Art, New Delhi, for loaning us “Pari” (1986) for this exhibition. #AsiaArtArchive #MrinaliniMukherjee #sculpture #performance #artexhibition #arthistory
〖022・封面・燈「奏」威尼斯光景〗 翁子健 @anthonyyungyung 最近被藝術家梁志和 @leung_chi_wo 的裝置作品《天時泊淚》開眼。它是香港藝術館為「提香與文藝復興威尼斯畫派——烏菲茲美術館珍藏展」，委託香港藝術家創作的回應作之一。梁志和親身到訪威尼斯考察，在美術館看畫，於河畔、海旁收集聲音素材，再帶了二手玻璃燈回來。 威尼斯畫派多畫人物畫。翁子健解釋，威尼斯曾是商業中心，畫派發展跟商業息息相關，因名人、商人、有權力者多請畫家畫像；風景畫不常見，常常淪為人物畫的背景。翁子健曾與梁志和交流作品意念，知道他想用風景作品來回應這個現象。 《天時泊淚》的外貌是一叢依音效節奏閃亮、熄滅的玻璃燈。它們是梁志和從威尼斯穆拉諾島收集的老式燈具，曾被意大利家庭或場所使用。梁志和又在威尼斯不同地方錄下海浪和河浪的拍打聲、船泊岸和水流的聲音，亦有人們談話、狗叫、小朋友玩耍的聲響，在展場播放。翁子健說，他們是裝置的背景，與舊物一起呈現威尼斯的日常風景。 翁子健指出，梁志和延續以往創作中水的元素，如港鐵會展站的《水記憶》展現香江變化。《天時泊淚》則拉近不同時空的距離，一方面串連16世紀畫作和當代語境，亦讓香港觀眾體會遠在地球另一邊的文化風貌。他形容作品精彩運用媒介特性，融匯現成物的文化價值和情緒，「裝置本身像燈光show，似芭蕾舞表演。裝置底部的圓鏡，又像一口泉或井，讓燈光閃爍時變成跌下去的流水，這是很好的視覺語言」。 （美藝客廳・六） 圖：蘇智鑫 ｜「客席策展人」簡介👁️🗨️｜ 翁子健是亞洲藝術文獻庫資深研究員。他是第四屆《Yishu》當代中國藝術評論寫作獎（2014年）得主，曾策劃展覽包括「土尾世界——抵抗的轉喻和中華國家想像」（2015年，Para Site藝術空間，香港）、「學不可教」（2020年，亞洲藝術文獻庫，香港），以及「別殺我，我還在愛！——向黃小鵬致敬」（2021年，時代美術館，廣州）等。他也是曾在廣州的獨立藝術空間「觀察社」創辦人之一。 ｜逢星期五隨《#明報》附送｜ #明報開眼 #開眼 #FridayMingPao #藝術 #art #文化 #culture #藝術文化 #artandculture #美藝客廳 #亞洲藝術文獻庫 #AsiaArtArchive #翁子健 #梁志和 #香港藝術 #hkart #香港藝術家 #hkartist #藝術評論 #artcriticism #香港藝術館 #hongkongmuseumofart #hkmoa #威尼斯 #venice #裝置藝術 #installationart
body container: questioning the line join our performance @movanachen @awakedanceflow this sat, 24 Feb 2024 11am to 12:30pm Asia Art Archive Library 11/F, Hollywood Centre, Sheung Wan, Hong Kong How does sculpture respond to changing landscapes? In what ways can audiences connect with a performative sculpture through stillness? In this performance, Movana Chen wears a double-container sculpture knitted from maps, and in collaboration with dancer Francisco Borges, activates it through movement and stillness. The performance will explore AAA’s library as a landscape, which expands on Chen’s practice using books as knitting material to create sculptures. more details @asiaartarchive 📷 rebecca tso AAA #performanceart #questioningtheline #movanachen #hongkong #asiaartarchive
