Residency as part of Moderation(s), Spring, Hong Kong, 7 January–10 February 2013

Moderation(s) is a year-long programme throughout 2013 between Witte de With, Rotterdam, and Spring Workshop, Hong Kong. Its ‘moderator’, Singaporean artist and writer Heman Chong, will steer a program involving more than fifty artists, a conference, three exhibitions, three residencies and a book of short stories.

Moderation(s) begins by hosting Latitudes for a month residency in Hong Kong. Latitudes will investigate the territory through looking into how it is articulated through specialist tours and attractions, and phenomena at the edge of the cultural, tourism and leisure sectors.

'Lawrence Weiner: THE CREST OF A WAVE', Fundació Suñol, Barcelona, 9 October–15 November 2008

‘THE CREST OF A WAVE’ was a four-part project – a distributed ephemeral sculpture, a wall installation, a sound work and an action – questioning what constitutes public sculpture. In September 2008, an ephemeral sculpture by Weiner was distributed throughout emblematic cafes around Barcelona. Printed on thousands of sugar sachets in Catalan, Spanish and English, Weiner’s rendition of the statement A CLOTH OF COTTON WRAPPED AROUND A HORSESHOE OF IRON TOSSED UPON THE CREST OF A WAVE, was accompanied by an emblem evoking the trajectory of a certain horseshoe over a wave.
