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...
