Para Site is proud to present Archive of the People, a commissioned solo presentation by artist Lee Kai Chung (b. 1985, Hong Kong). This showcase is based on Lee’s ongoing research into the construction of Hong Kong history and the associated political challenges. Works such as Open Archives Initiative  (2013) and the recently completed A Meeting Man  (2014) question the ambiguous governance of archival materials and the disposal of primary historical sources in Hong Kong. Lee’s wider interests consider individual gestures as forms of political communication and transgression, like in The History of United Front (HMS Tamar )  (2013), where he attempted to gift the sculpted characters  “人民” (Citizens) to the Hong Kong headquarters of the People’s Liberation Army, and was (predictably)  rejected. Archive of the People is curated by Qinyi Lim.
