ArtWalk 2011
Filipino-Australian artist Alwin Reamillo is ArtWalk 2011's artist-in-residence as part of Artwalk Extra, which encourages working artists to infiltrate the crowds and galleries throughout the night. A performance, installation and visual artist, Reamillo will visit each gallery posing as a vendor of balut (a Filipino delicacy consisting of a fertilised duck egg). His work, such as the Thuringowa Helicopter Project, which toured Australia in 2009, is steeped in social commentary.

Executive director Tisa Ho says: 'In recent years, partly in response to the limited range of available venues, HKAF has been investigating unconventional spaces and ways to bring the artist and public together.' Sketches of Utopia, a 3-D installation, will bring the music of Bach, accompanying animated evolving architectural forms, to the Hong Kong Cultural Centre foyer.
