Concurrently at Osage Kwun Tong, the Osage Art Foundation will present the second edition of the annual exhibition of “Market Forces”, which will provoke and challenge existing theories of value in art.

In Market Forces: The Friction of Opposites, five curators from around the region will each present an individual project that examines notions of value. The curators are: Joselina Cruz, Ark Fongsmut, Lee Daehyung, Qiu Zhijie and Alia Swastika.

Additionally, Osage Art Foundation will feature works by invited artists alongside these curated projects. These include: Joshua Oppenheimer’s highly acclaimed film, The Act of Killing, which has won numerous awards including: Best Film at One World Film Festival (2013), Prague; Best Feature Documentary at Danish Film Academy (2013); Ecumenical Jury Prize and Panorama Audience Award at Berlin International Film Festival (2013) and works by Au Hoi Lam, Nilo Ilarde, Vivian Poon, Jin Shan and Alvin Zafra.

This exhibition is a free platform for free thinking about art and its dissemination and it will explore the relationship of art to the patterns of conduct that are accepted or established as consistent with ethical and moral decisions.
