HKADC with 周俊輝 Chow Chun Fai

This is an interview with Mr. Chow Chun Fai about the collaboration of HKADC and M+ on the Hong Kong exhibition in the 55th Venice Biennale in 2013.

Brief notes:

1. Focus is not just on how much money is being used, instead the balance between openness and fairness. He understands the difficulties and restrains HKADC has faced, and the collaboration with M+ will is beneficial, but HKADC has failed to publically and clearly explain how and why this decision has been made.

2. It does not mean that decision making process has to be directed entirely by people outside the institution, but sufficient communication and consultation from public is essential. Instead of just reporting the details of how resources are being divided, HKADC should bare in mind and explain to the public their aims, motives and selection conditions with proficiency, and even react and analyze more on principal issues, like the control of Obscene and Indecent Articles Ordinance and Copyright Ordinance.
