Proposals invited for Station by the Sea Residence and Exhibition Programme of Oku-Noto Triennale 2020
******************************************************************************************
The Department is looking for site-specific proposals that resonate with the potential charm and rich culture of Suzu, as well as highlight the uniqueness of its distinctive natural environment and history. Genre of content is not limited to visual art, as proposals that encompass various fields such as design, handicraft, cooking and other cross-disciplinary media are welcomed. The proposals should be original and technically feasible at the site and related locations. A sum not exceeding HK$400,000 will be granted for the commissioned artist or art group, covering the cost of artwork production, organisation of public programmes and other related expenses during the residence period.
Participants must submit a proposal before 8pm on December 31 (Tuesday). All proposals must be delivered to the Exchange and Extension Unit of the Art Promotion Office (APO) of the LCSD (Oi!, 12 Oil Street, North Point, Hong Kong) by post or by hand. The APO will announce the result in March next year.
The Oku-Noto Triennale is set in the city of Suzu in Japan, which has inherited the rich culture and distinctive history of the northern area of the Noto Peninsula, but has been left behind by the urbanisation of the 20th century. The Triennale aims at revitalising Suzu; discovering its profound significance for the current era and developing future relationships among humans, nature and civilisation by means of art.
The Oku-Noto Triennale will be held from September 5 to October 25 next year. The APO will collaborate with the Oku-Noto Triennale to feature the residence, exhibition and programmes of the selected Hong Kong artist or art group during that period.
This project is organised by the APO. For details, please visit its website at https://www.lcsd.gov.hk/CE/Museum/APO/en_US/web/apo/apo_delights.html or call 2512 3019, 2512 3018 or 2512 3020.
