Trailblazers Talk with Nick Deocampo, Ellen Pau, and Zhang Peili
This round table brings together artists Nick Deocampo, Ellen Pau, and Zhang Peili to discuss their outstanding careers and commitment to the moving image.
Active in Manila, Hong Kong, and Hangzhou since the 1980s, the three artists played a critical role in championing experimental cinema and video art practices that have developed outside the confines of the film and art industries.
Throughout the last four decades, Deocampo, Pau, and Zhang have been providing important platforms for experimentation and exchange in their immediate environment as well as their greater region. As artists, scholars, teachers, mentors, and festival organisers, they sparked interest in the history of the medium and encouraged younger generations to develop their own conceptual and formal languages that are pertinent for their time and drawn from newly available technologies.
Moderated by Silke Schmickl, CHANEL Lead Curator, Moving Image, the conversation offers a regional perspective on Asian avant-garde moving image practices. It will explore both connections and divergences between different countries and communities at different times and celebrate these artists’ pioneering spirit which continues to inform their practice and expand their influence.
