Description
Dismantling the Scaffold, presented by Spring Workshop, is Tai
Kwun Contemporary’s inaugural exhibition. It showcases works
from local and international artists and collectives, presenting
a constellation of artworks that engage with the social and civil
structures we collectively inhabit. The multitude of artistic positions opens up insights, allowing for the examination and re-imagination of the established conventions, often unsaid and even
unnoticed, which give shape to our everyday lives. The concept
of the exhibition grows out of the two keystones of discipline
and collaboration: the unique context and history of the
exhibition site—the former Central Police Station compound—
demands a reflection on discipline and power, while the convergence of two contemporary art organisations at a key moment
in their timelines—the beginning of Tai Kwun Contemporary and
Spring Workshop’s planned hiatus in December 2017 after five
years of operation and programming—considers the potential
synergy made possible through cooperation.
