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....
