為準備C&G藝術單於五月中旬參與的Para Site聯展，我們由今日起公開徵集藝評文章。我們誠邀公眾提交對C&G藝術單位的批評，鼓勵大家指出C&G藝術單位於藝術實踐上的問題。我們希望透過是次「批評C&G大賽」感染觀眾及鼓勵其他藝術家接受批評。

C&G藝術單位表示「有人願意作出批評是一種提醒及指導。只要情商高、肯接受批評，任何批評都可以是進步的動力。這也可以是一次學習的機會，以及一次能令人提升和得到啟發的過程。C&G運作了15年，對香港當代藝術圈若無功亦有勞。C&G不會固執己見，不接受他人意見。我們不介意聽取批評，只怕不夠批評！」

參賽文章中英文不拘，字數由1至100字不等。所有藝評將會譯成中英雙語於展覽期間以匿名形式展出，觀展期間公眾將現場投票選出最具創意、最合心意之作。歡迎大家發揮創意，痛批一番！獲得最多票數的兩位藝評人將分別獲贈C&G藝術單位的真跡簽名藝術作品一件，機會難逢，萬勿錯過！

公開徵集截止日期為4月30日（星期六）香港時間中午12時，有興趣撰寫藝評的朋友必須把文章及聯絡方法發送至info@para-site.art，並於郵件標題註明「批評C&G大賽」。查詢詳情，歡迎與 info@para-site.art聯絡。

Participating in Parasite’s upcoming exhibition in May, C&G Artpartment is holding an open call for art reviews. We invite the general public to submit critiques of C&G Artpartment to raise issues in their artistic practice. Through this ‘C&G Critique Contest’, we hope to engage the public and encourage other artists to be more open to criticism.

C&G Artpartment says, ‘Criticism serves as reminders and guidance, and can be a driving force behind growth for those open to it and with a high EQ. It's a learning opportunity, as well as a process potentially leading to progress and epiphany. C&G has been around for fifteen years, and its contribution to the Hong Kong art scene should be felt if not seen. We’re not too stubborn to hear others’ advice, and we don’t mind criticism—in fact, the more of it the better!’

Submissions can be made in Chinese or English, between 1 and 100 words. All submissions will be presented bilingually and anonymously at the exhibition, where the audience will vote for their favourite. Everyone is welcome to get creative and speak their minds. The two critics with the most votes will each receive a signed work by C&G, so don’t miss this rare opportunity!

The submission deadline is Sat, 30 Apr, 12 noon, Hong Kong time. All submissions along with your contact information must be sent to info@para-site.art, with ‘C&G Critique Contest’ as the subject line. For further enquiries, please email info@para-site.art.
