lok, susan pui san (2015) RoCH fans & legends (solo exhibition). [Show/Exhibition]

Abstract

'RoCH Fans & Legends' is a solo exhibition that premieres a new body of work commissioned by Derby QUAD and the Centre for Chinese Contemporary Art (CFCCA), Manchester, in partnership with Animate Projects and the University of Salford. Featuring single and multichannel moving image works for gallery and online, 'RoCH Fans & Legends' draws on fan uploads of numerous adaptations of The Condor Trilogy (1957-61), a classic ‘new wuxia’ epic by Louis Cha aka Jin Yong. The project explores some of the genre's recurring tropes and translations – its fantasies, landscapes, and archetypes, as well as its 'poor' and 'pidgin' iterations in diasporic popular culture.

List of works, all 2015: Figures I, II, II, contravision film on revolving doors, various dimensions; Figures IV, V, VI, window film, various dimensions; Peach Blossom Isle, vinyl wallpapers, various dimensions; Covers I, animated drawing, 5 mins 5 secs; Covers II, animated drawing, 3 mins 3 secs; Condor, chalk drawing on wall; Trailers, single channel video, 4 mins; Trilogies, 3 channel video and audio work, 65 mins; RoCH Fan, concertina multiple, 102mm x 187mm x 8415mm
