Café do Brasil

Description
The exhibition comprises three chapters: Chapter 1: Coffee Shops employs the setting of a roadside café to trace two exhibitions from the history of Para Site—Coffee Shop (1998) and 3/4 Suggestions for A Better Living (2007)—taking its cues from the reflections on the public function of art spaces Para Site has made throughout its twenty-three-year history to re-engage in this discussion about the public sphere. Occupying the entirety of Para Site’s main exhibition space, Chapter 2: All Tomorrow’s Parties interweaves works by contemporary artists from Hong Kong and mainland China with scavenged fragments that refer to Café do Brasil to instigate an ongoing, multilateral conversation reminiscent of those taking place in a café or tea house. Finally, Chapter Three: Together, a public programme series taking place throughout the exhibition period, includes extensions of the works featured within it, footnotes to specific discussions, and meetings to start new discussions—a get-together, a shared experience of joy, vertigo, hangover, regret, along with trial-and-error.
