HKADC with 鄧國騫 Tang Kwok Hin

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

Brief notes:
1. The role of HKADC is to explain the management and development of the decision making process for the collaboration with M+, making it clearer and easier to accept for the public. The sudden announcement of the changes made gave an impression of "black-box operation", which is inappropriate and problematic for a governmental institution like HKADC.

2. The involvement of M+ is interesting because the status of M+, with the support from the Hong Kong government and its international power and reputation, it seems to be so strong that their decisions made are impassable. So, Lee Kit, as a representative artist for Hong Kong in the 55th Venice Biennale selected through the new procedures, has to bare in mind his role in the event.

3. Communication between the local artistic and cultural scene and international curatorial institutes like M+ is still very limited.
