Galleries Gal: Yulia Yarkova
“I go to all exhibitions, so you don’t have to.” gestures Yulia Yarkova, an art enthusiast and the founder of the art blog Galleries Gal.

Utopian Imaginations: Samson Young
For our final episode this year, First Edition is stoked to meet Hong Kong native and internationally acclaimed multidisciplinary artist, Samson Young, and understand more about his original sound compositions and accumulated studies of sound in the context of Contemporary art, and its direct impact on our visual and auditory experience. <br /><br />Samson graduated with a Ph.D. in Music Composition from Princeton University in 2013. In 2017, he represented Hong Kong at the 57th Venice Biennale. Samon’s works have been presented in major institutions, such as the Guggenheim Museum, Kunsthalle Düsseldorf, Mori Art Museum Tokyo and Sydney Opera House. In 2017, Samson represented Hong Kong at the 57th Venice Biennale. He is also a recipient of multiple awards for his progressive works, including the M Plus Sigg Prize in 2020, BMW Art Journey Award in 2015 and Bloomberg Emerging Artist Award in 2007.<br /><br />From virtual instruments, muted performances, video and sound-based projects showcased in international fairs and exhibitions, this interview records the refreshing thoughts and processes Samson adopted in his mixed media compositions. Join us this episode to “earwitness” Samson’s musical sensibilities and training, artistic observations, as well as his ‘quirky’ and experimental approach to art.

Arts + People: Benny Chia
From establishing Fringe Club in the early eighties, organising art festivals, live theatre and music, curating exhibitions, sharing his passion for food, art and literature over tea tastings, writing a book and everything in between, the ever-so busy Fringe Club Director, Benny Chia, has had a wealth of experience in interdisciplinary collaborations with local and international artists. In this episode, First Edition finally caught up with Benny on his recent writing ventures and other personal hobbies. <br /><br />Since 1983, the Fringe Club has become one of the most historically significant and vibrant contemporary arts spaces in Hong Kong, where artists create and present their work, and those who enjoy the arts come to meet and see shows. The 1890s British colonial building, which used to be The Old Dairy Farm Depot, was revitalised to provide an open platform for emerging and professional artists to showcase their work without having to go through a selection process.<br /><br />As we slowly begin to reach the end of 2021, we hope you are staying motivated in whatever you do while hearing out what Benny has gathered over his four decades-long arts career in Hong Kong and Asia.
