陳育強：對事不對人 Kurt Chan: important to nurture local artists/curators

HKADC with Kurt Chan about the collaboration of HKADC and M+ on the Hong Kong exhibition in the 55th Venice Biennale:

1. Chan emphasizes an open platform for the people to participate is important. After all, it is not even important to have a "good" show at Venice, but it is critical to use the resources to nurture a group of local curators and artists....

2. All the voices involved criticizing the current issues do not have any problem with Lee Kit representing Hong Kong (Lee is a good artist!), and do not doubt the ability of Lars as a curator either. However, the voices are against the funding schemes and the funding principles of HKADC......

文晶瑩：世上無完美的機制，但公開公平公正仍是最可貴 Phoebe Man

HKADC with Phoebe Man about the collaboration of HKADC and M+ on the Hong Kong exhibition in the 55th Venice Biennale: an open platform is valuable, despite of all the previous problem we had

Brief notes of the interview:
1. Phoebe Man, who participated in the HK exhibition of the 50th Venice Biennale, talks about her previous experience was not decent, since her team-mates and her only had so little time to prepare for the show etc..... .... Nevertheless, she does not believe the problems HKADC and the participating artists encountered previously can justify the decision to completely turn down an open-call-for-proposal selection scheme....

2. such an open platform is nice and fair after all. She is worried that the artists, who do not have nice networking skills, may find the new selection scheme (which depends on the appointed curator(s) to select the participating artists) difficult to work with. In the previous open platform, those artists with good artworks can also have a chance to submit their own ideas....

3. Phoebe also mentions and appreciates that the M+ curators, e.g. Tobias, Stella Fong, and even Lars himself, all are very hardworking, and often visit different local exhibitions. After all, she does not have a doubt about the ability of Lars and M+'s staff. It is the openness and transparency she thinks is missing out in the current situation....

魂游：想打開黑箱 wen yau: I want to know what is going on

This is an interview with Hong Kong local artist, wen yau (魂游) about her thoughts on the recent announcement of the collaboration of HKADC and M+.

wen yau:

1. the sudden changes of the selection scheme of curators and artists to participate in the Hong Kong Venue for the upcoming 55th Venice Biennale --- originally, in the past decade, HKADC opened call for exhibition proposal, but this year HKADC announced to work with M+ and invited M+ to be the curatorial team, without any public consultation in advance, and without disclosing the details of how this decision had been made.

2. she also points out how she, as a HK citizen and artist, would like both HKADC and M+ be more transparent. After all, they are spending the public's money: HKD$10,000,000, which would actually be the budget for a local art space to run for more than 40 years!!!
