Get Performance Art Abs with Florence Lam

After a 5-month break from performing because of covid, performance artist Florence wishes to get in shape for a performance-ready body and mind for the upcoming months. During the week of 13-19 June, Florence will be a resident artist at Current Plans and perform a series of performance art workouts. You are welcomed to come and join her with these exercises, or to observe as an audience.

You are also encouraged to donate to the event: 20% goes to Florence, 40% goes to supporting Per.Platform (Live Art Festival she co-founded in 2021), and 40% goes to supporting Current Plans (suggested amount: $200). Thank you so much, we look forward to seeing you!

Florence Lam, currently based in Hong Kong, works with wonder and magical thinking to fuse together current moral issues with child-like world views through performance art, poetry, video and sound. She obtained her MA Fine Art from Iceland Academy of the Arts in 2017 and her BA Fine Art from Central Saint Martins in 2014. Lam has performed around Asia and Europe, and has worked as a re-performer for “The Cleaner” Retrospective of Marina Abramović at Bundeskunsthalle, Bonn, Germany (2018) and a workshop facilitator for “A Different Way of Hearing - The Abramović Method for Music” at Alte Oper, Frankfurt, Germany (2019).

[與Florence Lam在1週內獲得行為藝術腹肌]

疫情關係，經過5個月的休息後，行為藝術家Florence希望鍛煉出一個適合做行為藝術的身體和心靈來迎接未來幾個月的行為現場。在6月13日至19日的一星期內，Florence將成為Current Plans的駐場藝術家，進行一系列的行為藝術鍛煉。歡迎你來和她一起完成這些練習，或作為觀眾來觀察。

我們也鼓勵你為這次活動捐款：20%捐給藝術家，40%用於支持Per.Platform（2021年她共同創辦的現場藝術節），40%用於支持Current Plans（建議金額：$200）。非常感謝你，我們期待著你的到來！
