ABOUT ArtMART
The 10th Anniversary of ArtMART is the perfect event to view and bid on spectacular artworks from both established and emerging international artists. ArtMART was initialed 10 years ago to raise funds for Para/Site Art Space and to promote contemporary art and its practices in Hong Kong. Our aim this year is to raise 1.5 million Hong Kong dollars in order to further develop on our progresses/achievements in foresting and promoting contemporary visual arts in Hong Kong. As a leading curator-run space in the Greater China region with an ambitious outlook on high-quality contemporary art practices. All artworks featuring in the event are carefully selected and evaluated by our professional staff, and provide a unique opportunity to collect groundbreaking and highly sought-after pieces by celebrated artists at levels significantly more modest than the open market.

ABOUT PARA/SITE ART SPACE
Para/Site Art Space is an independent and non-profit art organisation based in Hong Kong. We receive funding from both the Hong Kong Arts Development Council and the generous support from various patrons, friends and sponsors through our annual fund raising auction ArtMART. Our mission is to produce, exhibit and communicate high level local and international contemporary art. Our activities include presenting an ambitious programme comprising over ten exhibitions and publications of catalogues annually. Seminars, talks and workshops are regularly held to compliment our exhibitions. Para/Site Art Space is also committed to nurturing the next generation of curators in the Asian region through our Curatorial Training Programme, sponsored by the Hong Kong Jockey Club as well as proceeds from the auction.

Established in 1996, Para/Site Art Space started as an artist-run space hoping to provide an open platform to exhibit, produce and communicate contemporary art in Hong Kong. We have further developed into a curator-run space with non-profit, charitable status committed to promoting contemporary visual arts in Hong Kong three years ago. The art space is housed in a two-floor gallery in Sheung Wan, an historical and characteristic part of town. By providing a professional exhibition space as well as creating an environment where artists at all levels can present their artworks, Para/Site Art Space is the first of its kind in Hong Kong to support the growth and development of artists and their related art practices.

Para/Site Art Space is dedicated to staging ground-breaking exhibitions, initiating education programmes and becoming a generative centre for art criticism, research and exchange, which in turn will shape and nurture contemporary art practices in Hong Kong. Para/Site Art Space also places its emphasis on the importance of cultural exchanges between local and overseas artists. In the past three years we facilitated numerous emerging and established artists’ debut presentations in Hong Kong, such as Paul Chan, Lawrence Weiner, Cao Fei, Dennis Oppenheim and most recently, Franz Ackermann. We have also been involved in various international exhibitions such as the 4th Gwangju Biennale 2002, the 50th Venice Biennale 2003 and the 2nd Guangzhou Triennial 2005.We believe that such exchanges can lead to on-going dialogues between artists, art practitioners and the local community. In the past thirteen years, Para/Site Art Space has produced over 80 exhibitions that cover a wide spectrum of social, cultural and political issues.

About Starstreet Precinct
The Starstreet Precinct – centred around Three Pacific Place and comprising mainly of Star Street, Moon Street, Sun Street, Wing Fung Street – is fast generating buzz as a destination for those who are in the mood for unique lifestyle choices. Back in the 1900s, it was the location of Hong Kong Electric’s power plant. Today, the precinct has evolved into an emerging dining area with strong artistic overtones, all thanks to a group of creative talents, designers and free-thinking restaurateurs who have filled the area with cafes, restaurants, bars, galleries, florists and home design outlets.

Together with a thoughtfully landscaped environment and a recently opened 3PP Link connecting the precinct to the rest of the PP complex, these ‘stars’ have turned the area into a Hong Kong lifestyle community with a quirky ambience, and have attracted other style-conscious entrepreneurs to add eclectic variety to the community. Apart from visitors who are in search of a hip and relaxed escape, the Starstreet Precinct also serves as a hub for high-profile finance and professional services corporations in Three Pacific Place, as well as a fashionable address for residents of the neighbouring premium residences.

關於ArtMART
邁進了第十個年頭，ArtMART不僅是為Para/Site藝術空間籌募營運經費和拓展當代藝術在香港的發展空間之活動，它更是一個可以讓大眾欣賞和競投國際知名和年青藝術家作品的盛會。這次所有的拍賣作品都是經過我們精心的挑選，以低於市場價的估價去收藏這些佳作，更是大好時機。Para/Site藝術空間是一所在大中華地區具領導地位的專業策展人藝術空間，今年一百五十萬港幣的籌款目標，能讓我們在來年更可進一步地培育當代藝術的創作和策劃更多高質素的展覽項目。

關於 Para/Site 藝術空間
Para/Site 藝術空間是一所由藝術發展局資助的獨立非牟利藝術組織，我們同時獲得其他熱愛藝術的人士和機構之慷慨贊助。製作、展覽和推廣出色的本地與國際當代藝術是我們的使命。我們近年的活動包括了一系列充滿前瞻性的展覽、目錄的出版和定期舉行的講座、研討會與工作坊。Para/Site 藝術空間還透過由香港賽馬會資助的策展工作計劃來培育下一代亞洲地區的策展人。

成立於1996年，Para/Site藝術空間是本地最早創立的獨立藝術空間之一，原為一所以藝術家主導的開放式平台，為香港當代藝術提供一個展覽和交流的空間，我們三年前改型為一所由策展人運作的非牟利空間，致力於促進當代視覺藝術在香港的發展。位處具歷史特式的上環，Para/Site藝術空間是香港首間為藝術家提供專業展覽空間和支持他們在藝術創作上成長的機構。

Para/Site藝術空間致力於展出具開創性的展覽和開發藝術教育方案，並成為以藝術批評、研究和交流為重心的創意中心，從而推動和培育當代藝術在香港地位。促進本地及海外藝術家文化上的交流也是我們重要的任務。在過去的三年裡，我們舉辦了許多具影響的藝術家在香港的首次展覽，如Paul Chan、Lawrence Weiner、曹斐、Dennis Oppenheim和近期的Franz Ackermann。我們也多次受邀參與多項大型國際展覽，如二零零二年的第四屆光州雙年展，二零零三年的第五十屆威尼斯雙年展和二零零五年的第二屆廣州三年展。在過去的十三年來，Para/Site藝術空間展出了超過八十個涵蓋了對社會，文化和政治等議題作深入探討的展覽。

關於星街小區
星街小區以太古廣場三座為中心，由附近的日街、月街、星街及永豐街等組成，早於百多年前已是本港首間發電廠的所在地，現集各類型格藝術廊、家居精品店、花店、咖啡室、主題餐廳及酒吧等，吸引了不少年青企業家、藝術家及設計師在此創業。配合優質的建築環境，以及最新通行連接星街小區及太古廣場群組的太古廣場三座行人隧道，這些「星級」創業家逐漸將別樹一格的藝術玩味滲入此區。無論在此上班、生活或是偷閒消遣，星街小區已漸漸成為追求優質生活一族的據點。
