In earlier shows, we have looked at zine culture in Hong Kong. Short for magazine, a zine is usually a small booklet produced for a small circulation and self-published. The freedom and flexibility of zine publishing means it is well suited to providing an outlet for subcultures and for individual artistic expression.

Present Projects is a new experimental art space and shop in Sham Shui Po. Focusing on contemporary art projects, it says it hopes to promote the exchange of knowledge through making and presenting exhibitions. Its inaugural exhibition, “Surviving Natality” is a joint show by visual artist Chan Bee and writer Chan Ho-lok in which they address the liberation and confinement of being born into a human body. Chan Ho-lok, who suffers from depression, invited Chan Bee to create seven paintings for his new book. In their work, both artists traverse shared pain and trauma and hope to reassure others that they are not alone.

The works of composer Robert Schumann’s range from the orchestral to chamber works: intimate pieces and art songs. The three parts of Fantasiestücke, Op. 73 were written in just a few days in 1849, originally for clarinet and piano. But Schumann also indicated that the clarinet part could be performed on the viola or the cello. Pianist Cherry Tsang and saxophonist Chemie Ching brought another take on the well-known piece. Our presenter Ben Tse also chatted with them via the internet.
