8. Under the Shadow: Problems in Museum Development in Asia 8. Under the Shadow: Problems in Museum Development in Asia Oscar Ho Introduction In May 2012 the office of Museum Plus (M+), the art space to be opened in 2017 at Hong Kong’s West Kowloon Cultural District (WKCD), held their inaugural exhibition of contemporary art entitled Mobile M+: Yau Ma Tei. The multi-sited exhibition was presented across various sites in the working-class neighbourhood of Yau Ma Tei at West Kowloon. Local artists were commissioned to create installations and video art on the streets with the intention of bringing art closer to the people. Lee Chun Fung, artist and director of the nearby artists’ space Wufarten1 went to the Mobile M+ opening ceremony in a small local park. Wearing the typical neighbourhood attire of shabby singlet, shorts and slippers, he was, however, refused entry by event security for being improperly dressed for the event.

See http://woofer10.blogspot.hk/. 179 Contemporary Asian Art and Exhibitions: Connectivities and World-making Suddenly Cultured Lured by the economic possibilities of the new ‘cultural industries’, and the desire to build national/regional pride through cultural expression, the last decade has seen Asia engage in unprecedented investment in arts and culture. New cultural venues and museums are popping up throughout Asia faster than the spread of the Starbucks global coffee chain. The rapid establishment of ambitious cultural projects has resulted in the region becoming ‘suddenly cultured’, and this has made clear some of the problems that have long existed within Asia’s cultural infrastructure. With reference to the different objectives and outcomes of independent curatorial practices in Asia, this essay compares the original and ambitious mission for the government-supported M+ project at WKCD against the reality of the project’s implementation. The essay explores the difficulties and hindrances in museum development in Asia which, I will argue, suffers internally from infrastructural weakness and externally from Western-dominated thinking. Asia’s fast-growing cultural projects are often ambitious attempts to turn a city into a ‘cultural hub’ and build regional or national pride through grand displays of rich local or regional cultures. During the implementation of these projects, however, there is heavy reliance on Western ‘experts’, who play dominant roles in shaping the content and format of the projects. Making reference to independent curatorial projects presented at the inaugural forum of the Asian Curatorial Network (ACN), which was held in 2011 in Hong Kong,2 and examining the process of planning and building M+, the essay argues that underdeveloped infrastructure, conservative administrative cultures, prolongation of the colonial mindset, and Western cultural domination arising from the continuing imbalance of power and influence of curatorial practices that are led by Western thinking, continue to influence cultural development in Asia and hinder the region’s ability to build a unique, locally driven language of cultural practice. It argues the necessity for curatorial practices underscored by respectful sensitivity toward the local that support efforts to seek alternative modes of operation, and that evince open-minded approaches which are attentive to local, Hong Kong cultural contexts and needs. 2 The inaugural ACN forum, Curatorial Critique: An Asian Context, was funded by the Asian Cultural Council and held at the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts on 24 May 2011 (organised by the Chinese University of Hong Kong’s Department of Cultural and Religious Studies in association with the University of Hong Kong’s Centre for Culture and Development). The event showcased curatorial practices from the perspective of independent art spaces and curators. Principal speakers at the forum included Mizuki Endo (Japan), Ringo Bunoan (Philippines), Erin Gleeson (Cambodia), Yao Jui-Chung (Taiwan), Agung Hujatnikajennong (Indonesia) and Siu King Chung (Hong Kong), with Oscar Ho as moderator and David Elliott as commentator. 180 8 . Under the Shadow: Problems in Museum Development in Asia History: Real Estate Project in Disguise In 2004 the Hong Kong Government announced its grand plan to build the WKCD on 40 acres of reclaimed land in the western part of Kowloon. The development plan proposed three theatres, four museums (ink, contemporary art, design and moving image), and business, hotel and residential developments. The entire district, including the cultural institutions, would be designed, built and administered by a single real estate developer—the UK architectural firm Foster + Partners, headed by the internationally famous British architect Norman Foster. Proposed plan of the future West Kowloon Cultural District. Courtesy of West Kowloon Cultural District Authority Like many cultural projects in Asia (China in particular), cultural districts are frequently real estate developments in disguise. In a paper submitted to the Legislative Council in 2006, the Hong Kong Alternatives, an advocacy group of architects, solicitors and other professionals, asserted that ‘WKCD is not for Sale! Not for commercial property development!’3 As evidence of the real purpose 3 Hong Kong Alternatives, ‘An Appeal to Develop WKCD as West Kowloon Cultural Green Park as a Legacy for Hong Kong’ (2006), accessed 11 April 2014, http://www.hkalternatives.com/Eng/downloads/Position_ Papers/LEGCO-2006-0918-HKA-Position-Paper-Eng.pdf. 181 Contemporary Asian Art and Exhibitions: Connectivities and World-making of the development, social activist Chu Hoi Dick collected news clippings recording the enthusiastic responses of developers to the commercial potential of the project, which was clearly their sole interest.4 A survey conducted by the University of Hong Kong in 2005 revealed that over 60 per cent of interviewees felt that allocating 60 per cent of the district for residential and commercial use was too high, and 85 per cent opposed the proposal to only allow real estate developers to bid on the land.5 The proposal was also criticised by the arts and professional communities as hypocritical, lacking interest in professional considerations, and deficient in its vision, as well as for not being open to smaller real estate developers that lacked the finances to participate in such a grand project. In the face of this public outcry, the government withdrew the original proposal and invited professionals and representatives from the community to rework the plan. A revised plan was presented in 2009 and officially approved in 2011. With a budget of HK$21.6 billion (US$2.8 billion), the new plan proposed the building of 14 theatres/music halls, one exhibition centre and the M+ art space.

Under the Shadow: Problems in Museum Development in Asia Occupying 60,000 square metres with a budget of HK$4.7 billion (US$600 million), M+ is an unprecedented undertaking for Hong Kong. More significant is that, in its original plan, M+ sought to introduce a new mode of ‘museum’ curation and presentation informed by a wider field of interdisciplinary visual culture practice, reflective of not just local Hong Kong cultural experience, but also new thinking about museums. Before discussing the curatorial directions of M+, I would like to shift the discussion to the 2011 inaugural forum of the Asian Curatorial Network (ACN), referred to earlier. The forum focused on curatorial approaches employed by independent Asia-based curators. The presentations revealed interesting curatorial adaptations of and reactions to the particular cultural ecologies of Asia that, in many ways, resonated with the initial guiding principles in the planning of M+. Supply and control of resources shapes and dictates curatorial approaches and modes of operation. In Asia, where there is substantial government involvement in the arts, but no strong philanthropic tradition supporting creative endeavours, the government holds substantial control over resource allocation for cultural development. Curators working outside the official establishment survive with extremely limited resources. This situation often gives rise to small-scale alternative spaces that seek autonomy from government-defined cultural programs. Such spaces have become important forces in shaping the region’s cultural development. At the ACN forum, the Filipino artist/curator Ringo Bunoan used Shop 6, an artist-run space created in 1974 by Filipino conceptual artist Roberto Chabet, as an example of an attempt to address the problem of ‘lack of alternative spaces and support for alternative art’. Bunoan demonstrated the influence of

  • Osage Gallery EXCLUSIVE REPRESENTATION LEUNG MEE PING
    osage hong kong 4/F, 20 Hing Yip Street, osage Kwun Tong, Hong Kong T: 852. 2389 8332 E: [email protected] W: www.osagegallery.com PRESS RELEASE To Arts and Features Editors For Immediate Release 26th June, 2014 Osage Gallery is proud to announce its EXCLUSIVE REPRESENTATION of Hong Kong artist LEUNG MEE PING Leung’s practice is expansive, intricate and penetrative; with a completely conceptually driven approach, her work often encompasses installation, mix-media, public-art and community art. As one of the original founders of Para Site Art Space in 1996, Leung comes from an influential generation of Hong Kong artists and as one of the earliest artists in Hong Kong to experiment with blurring the boundaries between performance, installation, design and painting, she is a pioneer of cross- disciplinary practices. Leung also played a key role in promoting the Hong Kong arts scene over-seas, working behind the scenes of the Venice Biennale as part of the study group that assisted in the projects of 2001; having also been exposed to both European and American arts education through her time at CalArts and L’École nationale supérieure des beaux-arts in Paris, France where she received her MA and BFA in 2000 and 1992 respectively, Leung’s global vision is also undoubtedly a key proponent that places the artist at the forefront of the development in Hong Kong’s art scene. Leung is currently assistant professor of visual culture at the Academy of Visual Arts, Hong Kong Baptist University. She is also the department’s community art project organizer, as well as education consultant to the Arts Development Council.

  • Ma Shuqing: Touch
    Press Release 11th March, 2014 Attention Arts and Features Editors For Immediate Release Osage Gallery is pleased to share snippets from the solo exhibitions: MA SHUQING: TOUCH curated by HUANG DU LEUNG MEE PING: PEARL RIVER DELTA SERIES I: MADE IN HONG KONG curated by VALERIE DORAN CHEN SAI HUA KUAN: SPACE DRAWING The three solo exhibitions have opened to great reception. The opening event was lively and inspired an impromptu performance by one of the visitors. The exhibitions will continue to be open to the public until April 1st and all are welcome. The three artists present extremely different approaches to artistic production, the contrasts of which have filled Osage’s space with interesting tensions and conversation. For example, curator Wang Dong (of He Xiangning Art Museum) states, “The juxtaposition of Leung Mee Ping and Chen Sai Hua Kuan’s exhibitions once again presents art’s spirit of experimentation and complex nature. Leung’s works are conceived in Hong Kong, produced in Shenzhen. In her work, we see the visual employment of post‐modern tactics: appropriation and misappropriation. Her work also touches on the histories, memories and true cultures of Hong Kong and Shenzhen. Chen Sai Hua Kuan’s video reminded me of art’s ability to go beyond the norms, which moved me. The translations and exchanges between video and drawing, time and space are presented here, opening up new fields of discussion.” Chen Sai Hua Kuan’s solo exhibition features his work Space Drawing 07. The artist explains, “My main idea is about drawing in a space – it’s just a bungee rope, cutting across the space that I filmed…The very first space drawing I did was a static sculpture, but then I accidentally released the rope and it went SNAP – POW! I was like, damn, that’s fun, and it evolved from there.” Leung Mee Ping’s Pearl River Delta Series I: Made In Hong Kong is continually evolving; each week sees some new paintings being added to the exhibition.

  • Leung Mee Ping 梁美萍
    LEUNG MEE PING 梁美萍 LEUNG MEE PING is a Hong Kong based artist. Her studies have taken her from France to America then to Hong Kong, Leung Mee Ping is dedicated to art and local cultural studies. Her conceptual perspective is based on her consideration of the importance of creativity originating from daily culture. Her creative practice spans installation, mix-media, public art and community art. Through research-based practices, the artist experiments with interaction and integration; her works integrate elements and platforms of theatre, design, commercial space and social space, in order to extend performance or action; thus her practice can be read as issue-based creativity. Her works concern ethics, community and memories of the human living situation, which is closely intertwined with her theoretical research area of visual culture and globalization. She is assistant professor of art creativity at the Academy of Visual Arts, Hong Kong Baptist University. Leung Mee Ping’s recent exhibitions include Pearl River Delta Series I: Made in Hong Kong (Osage Hong Kong, 2014), FLEX IT!
