Asia Art Archive 20 Years On｜Raqs Media Collective

Описание: “A source is something that is heuristic, it permits you, it pushes you, it proposes you, into making more connections, into allowing more things to come through. And I think that our relationship with the archive in that sense is a lot of acknowledging the sources that we are pulling from."

In this video, Raqs Media Collective talks about their artist intervention “Unledgered” for “Portals, Stories, and Other Journeys” at Tai Kwun Contemporary. They also highlight their relationship with the archive and the conversations developed for this project.

“Portals, Stories, and Other Journeys” stems from AAA’s research since 2014 into the Ha Bik Chuen Archive. This exhibition comprises ten “sets”, while featuring new commissions from local and international artists. “Unledgered” introduces a composite creature as an embodiment of that feeling of awkward intimacy in Ha’s studio when Raqs first visited in 2016.

As AAA celebrates its twentieth anniversary in 2020-21, our team would like to dedicate this video series to our friends and community for their continued support in making a more generous art history. Without your support, this work would not be possible. We are also very grateful to have Raqs Media Collective’s support in celebrating our anniversary.
