Kongkee, still from Negative Record, animation, 2000
In collaboration with Tatton Park Biennial
1 May – 29 June 2008
Hong Kong based comic and animation artist Kongkee is interested in the relationship between people and place. His animations, comic publications and online comic blog are often humourous and fun whilst also displaying a mature sensitivity to the subjects he deals with. For his Breathe residency at Chinese Arts Centre as part of Tatton Park Biennial and Asia Triennial Manchester 08, Kongkee is investigating the movement of people and plants, specifically from China to the UK, to create drawings and animations based on the real life stories of members of Manchester’s older Chinese community.
