October contemporary is an annual month-long curated platform that promotes contemporary visual art and artists in Hong Kong. Inaugurated in 2007, October Contemporary has quickly become one of Hong Kong's leading cultural events through its dedication to presenting timely and insightful contemporary arts-related events centered around a cohesive curatorial theme. This year's curatorial discourse, "Attr/Attraction," was selected as a response to the large scale public events such as biennials and the Olympics that have peopled Asia this fall. The curatorial theme seeks to analyze the political and social processes that inform these events' public reception through a series of lectures, exhibitions, workshops and screenings.

The opening reception for October Contemporary Tuesday, September 30, 8 pm - 12 am at the Hong Kong Art Museum and will include a special screening and live performances.
