A Solo Exhibition of Works by Chloë Cheuk

07.03.2026 - 10.05.2026
1a space proudly announces down to earth (exhale), the 2nd edition of our Mid-Career Artist Exhibition and Publication Series. This project brings together the selected team of artist Chloë Cheuk, curator Yang Yeung, and researcher Christina Chung to explore the artist’s evolving practice with diverse perspectives.
down to earth (exhale) is a solo exhibition of works by Montreal-based Hong Kong artist Chloë Cheuk. Her past sculptural and video works are contextualised in a Hong Kong that she is starting to get to know since relocating to Canada ten years ago. This exhibition presents Chloë Cheuk’s evolving practice, which is driven by curiosity, experimentation across mediums, and an ongoing quest to pursue completeness–an intrinsic quality in her artistic practice and her life. This exhibition is accompanied by the publishing of Cheuk’s first artist monograph, Chloë Cheuk: In Search of Completeness.

#DANCELESS Complex 2026 Exhibition Living Traces: Choreographing Traditions
10 – 15.06.2026
Living Traces: Choreographing Traditions gathers sketches, objects, videos and research fragments accumulated over the two-year process by three commissioned choreographers of #DANCELESS Complex 2026 — Chan Wai Lok, Albert Garcia and Norhaizad Adam — transforming Cattle Depot Artist Village’s 1a space into an open studio “in the midst of creation”. Extending the festival theme “Tradition in Our Times,” the exhibition juxtaposes field notes, ritual artefacts, handwritten procedures, personal notebooks and rehearsal remnants from residencies in Shunde, Melbourne, Taipei, Singapore and Hong Kong, unfolding a map woven from bodily memory, community stories and cross-cultural thinking. Visitors encounter firefly investigations drawn from Mai Po wetlands and migrant routes, ritual props where faith and fantasies of fortune entangle, image archives tracing the flicker of fireflies and trajectories of displacement, as well as movement scores and desire notes emerging from an old Malay manuscript and embodied sexuality. These “living traces” are neither finished works nor neutral documents, but midway annotations left by artists as they travel between cities, meet others and look back at their own cultures, keeping open a set of questions: What kinds of aesthetics and traditions have we inherited, and how, in the instability of the present, might we touch, question and reinvent traditions we can call our own?
Within the same space, live performances of Chan Wai Lok’s The Golden and the Fortunate and Albert Garcia’s The Bug Is on Fire: First Ignitions activate the displayed materials, allowing ritual objects, images and documents to be reanimated through bodily expression and rigorous dramaturgy in real time. As performance, installation and writing overlap, audiences witness how the exhibited artefacts are called upon, translated and rearranged inside choreographic scores. A dedicated “Live Writing” corner, curated by scholar-editor Emilie Choi as the second section of the publication Choreographing Across Cities, invites three observers to write and converse on site during the festival, turning the production of text into another visible, sensorial layer of live performance alongside the exhibition and the stage.

《Dear (Anne)》：關於救助的複調對話
23.06.2026 - 13.08.2026
Taking "Resusci Anne" as a starting point, this exhibition explores the complex nature of "helping." Amidst social unrest and crises, aid is not merely a link for survival, but a tapestry woven with bystander struggles and the dynamics of control. Through various media, artists aim to reinterpret the social function of art—often labeled "non-essential"—to transform trauma and reflect on the diverse imaginations of mutual aid in the contemporary era.
