Tomorrow Maybe is thrilled to announce ‘Fluidity and Impermanence’ from 22 to 24 July 2022 in collaboration with Per.Platform. The three-day event in Tomorrow Maybe will showcase thirteen newly created performances and group improvisations by sixteen local artists selected from the open call and two international residency artists.
The events will explore the notion of fluidity and impermanence on questions regarding the material, space, time, body, gender roles and sexual identity, relating them to the fluidity and impermanence nature of performance art, and body as the main medium in the creative process.
Intended to show the diversity and open-endedness of live art, Fluidity and impermanence will investigate the action of artists as artistic expression and engage audience participation in the creative process. The selected proposals from the open call encompass diverse forms of performances, including participatory art, endurance art, lecture performance, performative installation, etc. Eighteen artists from various backgrounds, such as performance art, theater, visual art, and media art, will showcase performances from ephemeral (30 mins) to durational (5 hours) specifically situated in the gallery setting of Tomorrow Maybe. On the last day of the festival, there will be a 5-hour group improvisation by 8 local artists, resulting from a 1-week performance art workshop led by co-founder of Per.Platform, Florence Lam.
Two performance artists Yuki Kobayashi and Towako Sano will be the artist-in-residents in Eaton HK. They will travel from Japan to Hong Kong this summer from mid July to August. During their residency in Eaton HK, the two artists will share their practice and exchange ideas with local artists, in addition to presenting their performance pieces in ‘Fluidity and Impermanence’.
Monique Yim and Yuki Kobayashi will also be providing mentorships for the artists in the show.
The events are ticketed to support the participating artists and Per.Platform. All tickets include a refreshing beverage from Terrible Baby. Early bird tickets are available until 12 July. Students can enjoy 20% off all tickets. Tickets are available on Eventbrite.
