Last year, AAA asked the public to consider and describe their ideal museum through the enthusiastically received community project, 'What is your dream museum?' with 4,000 responses sent in from around the world and exhibited in Hong Kong and on the website. This year, as Hong Kong embarks on the ambitious West Kowloon Cultural District project, AAA calls on the community to build a collection for the dream museum by sending in an object or uploading an image on this website.

April - May
Build Your Collection Online
AAA launches the project with 10,000 specially designed cards sent to schools, universities, art organizations and other interested parties throughout Hong Kong. Individuals are being invited to build their dream museum collection by sending in their responses with an image to the dream museum website. Participants registering for the online project will receive a complimentary ticket for ART HK 09.

From 14th April go to: www.dreammuseum.org
Join facebook group: What is your dream museum?


25 April
Workshop
AAA, in collaboration with The Hong Kong Federation Youth Groups and  HKICC Lee Shau Kee School of Creativity (HKSC), will present a workshop with participating students and teachers to facilitate and encourage discussion on the subject


14-17 May
Dream Museum Convenience Store
Booth G01, ART HK 09
Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre

Taking Thai respondent Sarawut Chutiwongpeti’s call for the dream museum to be “Like 7-Eleven”, AAA will set up the Dream Museum Convenience Store at the ART HK 09 with a selection of this year’s responses in the form of written cards, photos and objects. AAA wishes to create an environment that the public can easily access thereby contesting the traditional perceptions of the museum as a place of authority and exclusivity. During the course of the fair, the public can bring in an image or object to contribute to the collection. Artists, designers and architects will be invited to host a series of workshops to work with the public to facilitate and encourage discussion on the subject. Documentation of the project in the form of photographs, a book and the website will be available after the completion of the project.

16 May 
Backroom Conversations: Museum Focus
As the official educational partner for Art HK 09, AAA will present two panel discussions around the museum. For more information and registration, click here.
