Performance art is usually considered said to have originated with Cabaret Voltaire in Switzerland in 1916. Typically, it involves actions performed by the artists themselves, or by other participants. It is usually live and can be spontaneous or scripted. Unlike older traditional forms that focus on creating art objects, or performing to set scripts or music, performance art emphasises immateriality and impermanence. The basic elements involved are time, space, body, the presence of the artist, and the relationship with the audience. Performance art started to take form in Hong Kong in the mid-1970s. Currently, one group of young artists is continuing to experiment with the form.

Annie Leibovitz’s five-decade photographic career, and her distinctive style, have produced some of the most iconic visual memorials of our time.
During her 13 years with Rolling Stone magazine, she built up a body of work that preserves historical moments and music history. As well as photographing celebrities, rock stars, artists, and fashion icons, she has also photographed heads of state and major political moments. On show at Hauser & Wirth gallery untill mid-February, “Annie Leibovitz. The Early Years, 1970 – 1983, Archive Project No. 1, and Wonderland” includes photographic prints from her early career as well as more recent images from the world of fashion and other images that appear in her new book “Wonderland”.

Influenced by 1990s Brit Rock, the four members of Charming Way say their music style is nostalgic yet reflecting present times. Formed in 2016, the band sings in English, bringing together indie rock, noise pop and alternative rock. Charming Way’s most recent concert was in December. They’re with us to tell us what they have planned for the coming year.
