#About_the_show
“Clawing out all the volumes and quantities measuring space and time, the initial result could only unveil the mainstays of successive scopes, the possibly slipped-away intervals, the leapfrogging of dispelling, the in-recovery efforts for resurrection, or merely a professional analysis to span longer the “longevity” of creations. These intentions are susceptible to patterns dictated directly by the bounding of transient moments. Of daylights or electric lights or assumed contrast pairs of the traffic jam hours and break time or the generosity of laid-back moments and the fierceness when the hours are flying away.
‘Morning – Noon – Afternoon – Evening’ here does not weigh heavily down upon first-person chapter-based narratives, or transitorily consider it as an opportunity for the people in it to brush up on their “learnings”, hence the landscape could also “learn”. The tasks are always old, the tools are always old, for “performance art” practitioners, it seems even more difficult to be any different. Always has this been the same body, this same smear of breath, this same mind… that float amidst the space and time in either one way or another with packed luggage or spic-and-span ones. Which is of parity to an opinion.
There might be at least 4-5 projects and up to 14-15 “performance art” practitioners in ‘Morning – Noon – Afternoon – Evening’. Therefore, it is plausible that both the artist and the audience have to be newly attuned with their observations to pick out what they would miss and would not.”

Á Space is honored to introduce the first program inaugurating the Year of Tiger: The Mini Performance Festival ‘Morning – Noon – Afternoon – Evening’, putting forward a proposal to rethink the “format” of organizing a performance art event, restructuring and loosening the factors of time and space of a performance art festival. In addition to that, the program also sets aside a “volume” for some participating artists to “cover” works from a colleague or a teacher to them or to make inspired works or transformational ones.
The event will be divided into four sections: Morning – Afternoon – Evening – Night. Visitors can drop by at any time during the festival.
