Jaffa Lam at Minding the G(r)a(s)p exhibition (12/07/2022)
The exhibition Minding the G(r)a(s)p, curated by Celia Ho, is a triple entendre-gap, gasp, grasp. It is a way to draw attention to the space between seeing and knowing in the exhibition viewing experience. Minding the G(r)a(s)p questions the active versus passive roles of audience, artist, and curator—and seeks to reconfigure the power dynamics between these participants. Instead of trying to satisfy a particular curatorial thesis, the exhibition originated from the curator’s in-depth conversations with the artists and aims to allow artistic freedom for the participating artists to realize the works that they most urgently want to create at this particular moment of uncertainty.
The exhibition will be on view at the Para Site in Hong Kong until August 14.
