What's Not to like? - Culture(s) of Copy

To say why we like it would take too long. So here it is. In bullet points.
- Group show split between video works at the Hong Kong Film Archive - Candice Breitz, Harun Farocki, Qiu Anxiong, Pilvi Takala, Wong Hoy Cheong, Xu Zhen and Zhang Peili and Goethe Institut HK - Sven Drühl, Omer Fast, Anna Kermolaewa, Leung Chi-Wo + Sara Wong and Cornelia Sollfrank.
- "'Copy' as a global cultural strategy", copying as "an achievement".
- Coherent - heartening to see a curatorial team successfully putting together an intelligent and cohesive show where each work complements the others.
- Honourable mentions - Cornelia Sollfrank's Anonymous-warhol_flowers and Sven Drühl Constructed Landscapes, but go see for yourself
- Videos not reviewed...
