Thanks for your support and enthusiasm to our previous Open Calls!
The Curatorial team is now pleased to announce two more open calls for the submission of proposals to the Hong Kong portion of the 2009 Hong Kong & Shenzhen Bi-City Biennale of Urbanism \ Architecture that respond to the theme of City Mobilization: BYOB (Bring Your Own Biennale).
OPEN CALL 4: Bring Your Own Botanist
An open call for submissions focused on the greening of a standard shipping container. The aim of this open call is to examine ecology and botany within the cityscape by encouraging the growth of vertical plantscapes as an integral component of the exhibition space for the HKSZ Biennale. [See Appendix 1]
OPEN CALL 5: Bring Your Own Banner
An open call for the submissions of creative large scaled art banners with visuals highlighting issues of ecology, cultural education, exchange, sustainability, or community and heritage.
