Work Description
The cross-media exhibition work, antiplayground, is created by sound artist and composer Alain Chiu and researcher and writer Ho Ying Yi. Funded by the Hong Kong Arts Development Council, the work seeks to assemble a roomful of playthings assimilated with entertainment facilities in an amusement park and playground. The project is built upon continuous contemplation: What constitutes a playground? The word “anti” challenges the norms or conventions of spaces designated for creating joy, questioning presumed boundaries of reality and artificiality. The work, consists of a two-week exhibition and a series of music performances and lecture performances, will form a cross-disciplinary narrative to delve into the subject matter.
