Founded by a group of artists in 1996, Para/Site is the first
contemporary art space in Hong Kong devoted to installation art.
The exhibition Para/Site: Open Work offers a look at some of
Para/Site's projects from the past eight years that have made
this artist collective a noteworthy case in the history of artist-
run spaces. It takes place in the context of an important
international symposium, InFest: International Artist Run Culture
(www.paarc.ca/infest/)

Para/Site: Open Work presents an opportunity to assess the identity
of Para/Site, not so much as a coherent entity, but rather as a
loose set of `open book' strategies that have always been
mindful of the position of the `curator-artist', as well as the role
the quotidian plays in the work of artists.
