of the major highlights of HKSZ Biennale, Kacey Wong will go to sea on
his “Paddling Home” and Stanley Wong will go to sea on his “Heaven on
Earth”.Kacey
has already attracted a lot of media attention with his “Paddling
Home,” but this time, he’s really “risking” his life to go to sea.

Discussing
his essay featured in the Biennale catalogue, Chan Koon Chung will lead
a lecture on the topic of the Socially Responsible Architect
‘His
words carry weight. He is one of the most experienced players in
Chinese media, having founded magazines, written and produced feature
films and TV dramas, started and run a satellite TV station, and
written novels, collections of essays and even a treatise on Marxist
literary criticism. In the early 1990s, he pioneered Hong Kong
investment in Mainland cultural and entertainment businesses…In 1976
Chan Koon-chung founded the groundbreaking cultural Magazine Hao Wai
(City Magazine), which started out as a tabloid biweekly, something
like the Village Voice, and transformed itself into the most profitable
glossy lifestyle magazine in Hong Kong. In its first decade, Hao Wai
caught a certain cultural moment in Hong Kong — the adolescence of the
city, the moment when a group of Hong Kong hipsters at the cutting edge
of Hong Kong’s cultural life started writing, in Chinese, about
cosmopolitan affairs of concern to every other major world city. The
magazine’s scope was generous: everything from gay culture to left wing
theory to fashion.’- by Jeremy Goldkorn (for DANWEI Chinese media, advertising, and urban life, June 11 2004)
