| - Out of Context is a key example of a self-organized art exhibition in Hong Kong during the 1980s. It took place from 9 to 10 October, 1987 at a now-demolished Eu family mansion on 15 Kennedy Road. Co-curated by Christine Loh, Hugh Chiverton and Lianne Hackett, and presented in association with the Hong Kong Arts Centre, the exhibition displayed works by twenty-one artists, artist groups and practitioners, ranging from painting, sculpture, photography to installation, performance and video art. The exhibition was conceived primarily in response to the artists’ belief that there was a “serious lack of [institutional] support” for the local contemporary arts scene at the time, and the organizers also felt that established art institutions had too much dominance over the art scene. Collaborative in nature, a series of meetings were held in preparation for the exhibition, which were attended by participating artists, art administrators and writers. Taking place outside of the traditional gallery/museum space, they had more creative and artistic freedom by working “out of context”. In terms of location, format and artistic practices, this exhibition was unconventional, bringing forth and making visible what was often marginalized. (en)
