To make media art more accessible to the public, as well as explore different forms of inclusive art, the Hong Kong Visual Arts Centre (HKVAC) has invited media artist GayBird to collaborate with musicians and performers to present "Emergency Kit & Wishing Pool", a performance creatively blending music, video, installations, lighting and other effects.

     At a preview of "Emergency Kit & Wishing Pool" today (March 25), emotions, imagination and hopes for the city were expressed through a performance that combined music with various artistic elements.

     Set at the swimming pool of the Hong Kong PHAB Association Jockey Club PHAB Camp in Pok Fu Lam, the performers moved in the water and at the poolside to express with bodily movements their feelings about their lives and their hopes. The ambience was enhanced with a delightful musical performance by the pool, offering the audience a unusual audio-visual adventure.

     The enrolment quotas are full for the three public shows taking place from tomorrow (March 26) to March 28. Those interested are encouraged to view the final public show through a live broadcast on HKVAC's Facebook page or on the outdoor television walls outside Broadway Cinema in Mongkok, Hilton Towers in Tsim Sha Tsui, and in the 5/F lobby at the Hong Kong Visual Arts Centre at 8pm on March 28.

     The programme is presented by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department and organised by the HKVAC. For details of the programme, please visit HKVAC's Facebook page or www.lcsd.gov.hk/CE/Museum/APO/en_US/web/apo/va_emergency_kit_wishing_pool.html or call 2521 3008.
