An ‘assembly’ can be a temporary collective with a shared sense of purpose, or a creative, resilient (and sometimes precarious) construction. Assembly brings together eight Hong Kong-born artists from different generations of the diaspora. Amid the current wave of migration, this exhibition explores the act of ‘making sense’ of layers and fragments, of memories and stories, told or untold. Assembly embraces the resonance and dissonance between the diverse creative practices of these artists, questioning readymade notions of diasporic identity.This project has now been years in the making and sincere thanks should go to the artists, our program collaborators, loan institutions and colleagues for their patience and trust. In particular, we would like to acknowledge: b minor for their support of the publication; the generous loan institutions Griffith University and Art Museum, the Art Gallery of New South Wales and White Rabbit Collection, as well as Artspace for image permissions; ANU School of Art & Design (especially Chaitanya Sambrani, Ella Barclay, Alia Parker, Alex Burchmore, Lucy Irvine,) the ANU School of Music (especially Alec Hunter and team), Tony Oates and the Drill Hall Gallery, for their collaboration and support of the exhibition production and programs; thanks and respect to Melvin Tan and George Dutton at Currency Design for their keen interpretation of the exhibition concept. Olivier would also like to personally thank peers Natalie Seiz and Rachael Kiang for their collegial advice and conversation; much gratitude to Luke Roberts, Scott Redford and Nick Tsoutas for their insight into the work of the late Hiram To; and finally heartfelt thanks to the CIW Gallery team: Ari Heinrich, Sharon Strange and Melodie Liu, without you this would not have been possible.application/pdfen-AU© Australian Centre on China in the Worldhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/Hong KongChunyin Rainbow ChanNikki LamHiram ToPamela LeungFirenze LaiCyrus TangHowie TsuiJohn Young ZerungemigrationdiasporaidentityartChinese--20th century2024-02-1510.25911/WM99-NP53Creative Commons License (Attribution 4.0 International)
