A Wedding’s idea stems from discussions between Hu Fang and Zhang Wei (founders of The Pavilion) with the participating artists. Hu and Zhang realised that a wedding ceremony, as a special moment in everybody’s life, could become a very interesting scenario in which to ask artists to think about their work. They have therefore invited their artist friends from around the world to each give an artwork as a wedding gift.
Immediately thereafter, they began to think about where the gifts would go after the wedding. Para/Site came to their mind because of its energy, dynamics and continuous support of emerging artists in Hong Kong. As the “parents” of these gifts, Para/Site hosts a special wedding banquet and exhibition in accordance with the artist gifts which shares unique experience with audiences in Hong Kong. From May 26th to July 31st 2011, all the wedding gifts will be presented at Para/Site Art Space, which will then be donated to Para/Site.
