Food for thought – ‘Spotlight’ today (through Sat 3 Aug) on #KaitlinChan @chen_jiaxian in @taikwuncontemporary #artistsbooklibrary p.s. Cha Chaan Teng = I 💌 You

#Repost @taikwuncontemporary • • • • • • 【今日 1-7pm】《茶餐廳=我愛你》—— 陳嘉賢獨立小誌幻燈片放映⠀ ⠀ 「封面之下」：藝術出版調查 —— 焦點節目 大館當代美術館藝術家圖書館⠀ ⠀ 陳嘉賢的獨立小誌《茶餐廳=我愛你》計劃是藝術家本人對外祖父母的致敬，因為她出生前外祖父母在墨爾本開的銀龍餐廳已被拆毀。該餐廳保存在她母親的回憶中，對陳嘉賢而言仍是個充滿神話色彩的地方。⠀ ⠀ 她這種小誌形式的藝術出版，是為了深入研究大家同桌吃飯的儀式和體驗。大館當代美術館藝術家圖書館將以幻燈片形式展示這本小誌。⠀ ⠀ [Today 1-7pm] A zine inspired film (transferred to video) - “Cha Chaan Teng = I Love You” by Kaitlin Chan ⠀ ⠀ Under-Cover: Investigations in Art Publishing – Spotlight ⠀ ⠀ Tai Kwun Contemporary Artists’ Book Library ⠀ ⠀ Kaitlin Chan presents us with zine “Cha Chaan Teng = I Love You”, a tribute to Chan’s maternal grandparents, whose Silver Dragon restaurant in Melbourne was destroyed before she was born. The restaurant remains a mythic place to Chan, existing only in recollections imparted by her mother.⠀ ⠀ Chan uses this form of art publishing to delve into the rituals and encounters enabled by the act of eating together.⠀ ⠀ Tai Kwun Contemporary Artists’ Book Library will be displaying this zine in a form of slideshow. ⠀ ⠀ #taikwuncontemporary #ablundercover #artistsbooks #artistsbooklibrary #undercoverartpublishing #hongkong #KaitlinChan https://www.instagram.com/p/B0nYFaRlcho/?igshid=4c8qf9xt2ms3
