OzAsia 2016 is a festival on fire, right now in Adelaide. Hong Kong digital media artist Kingsley Ng’s Gallery Express (image above) is one of the event’s immersive highlights, a surreal journey back to the present from a future, uninhabitable Earth. Chris Reid reviews three of the festival’s engrossing exhibitions in this edition, including Ng’s Record Light. Sensory transformation figures elsewhere as audiences find themselves directly engaged in Lee Serle’s MULTIMODAL and Ohad Naharin’s Decadance. Another kind of transformation is recorded in dancer Dean Walsh’s deeply personal account of coming to a profound understanding of how he relates to the world, to art-making and disability. We’re off to the wonderful OzAsia and will regale you on 12 October with extensive coverage of the performances, public events and visual arts which are transforming the Australian-Asian relationship.
