- AAA Lecture-Performance -

As Transient as a Whale

Raqs Media Collective

Thursday, 26 March 2009, 6.30-8pm
Pao Galleries, Hong Kong Arts Centre
*Please note the new venue.


Hong Kong has had two curious visitors in this month, a lost
humpbacked whale on a detour and the Raqs Media Collective at the Asia
Art Archive. Humpbacked Whales, like memories in a city eager to live
forever in the future, are an endangered species. While Raqs has not
yet met the whale, they have spent time with some of Hong Kong's
memories. They have also spent some time thinking about the place of
memory in an archive. In their lecture-performance presentation - 'As
Transient as a Whale' - Raqs will present their field notes, research
and the images they have been working with as they travel in Hong
Kong. The lecture performance will also present sketches of the
in-situ installation that they will produce at the Asia Art Archive at
the conclusion of their residency.

AAA welcomes Jeebesh Bagchi, Monica Narula and Shuddhabrata Sengupta
of Raqs Media Collective, Delhi based think-tank, curators and
cutting-edge artist collective, as its first international residents.

Raqs Media Collective was formed in 1992 by Jeebesh Bagchi, Monica
Narula, and Shuddhabrata Sengupta. The Collective is based in Delhi
and work at Sarai, a program of the Centre for the Study of Developing
Societies, an initiative they co-founded in 2001.Their work takes the
form of installations, video, photography, image-text collages, media
objects, performances, and encounters. They cross contemporary art
practice with historical and philosophical speculation, research and
theory. The Collective has been exhibited widely in major
international spaces and events including Documenta 11 (2002), the
Venice Biennale (2003, 2005), the Guangzhou Triennial (2005), and the
Istanbul Biennial (2007). Their writings have also been published
extensively. They curated 'The Rest of Now' in Bolzano/Bozen and
co-curated 'Scenarios' for Manifesta 7, Italy. They are currently
showing at 'Chalo! India', Mori Art Museum, Tokyo and 'Indian
Highway', Serpentine Gallery, London.

AAA's Residency Programme is the first offered annually by an arts
organization in Hong Kong and one of the first in the world to take
the art archive as its point of departure.
