Andrew Luk (b. 1988, New Jersey, USA) is a multimedia artist whose practice illustrates the everchanging representation and perception of violence. Inspired by post-structuralism and Paul Virilio’s practice, Luk investigates how civilization regards itself in relation to nature. He examines civilization while studying the natural forces of entropy, anti-entropy, and preservation. The artist’s interest lies in how these seemingly divergent stories entangle to embrace complexity and tell the stories that cannot be told on paper. More than just a physical site, Luk sees this heritage space as an elaborate system of interwoven stories and ideas that offers metaphorical meaning for its visitors.
André Chan worked in a number of international galleries and produced various exhibitions around the world. He is the co-founder of Arts Collective in Hong Kong and his curatorial work is now focusing on artists’ practices and contemporary city issues. He curated exhibitions and performances in various cities including Shanghai, Seoul, Gwangju, Chicago, Vancouver and Hong Kong.
