Amelia Johnson Contemporary, Hong Kong, HK Hong Kong | | Pathways to Unknown Worlds: Sun Ra, El Saturn and Chicago's Afro-Futurist Underground, 1954-1968
Institute of Contemporary Art, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA USA United States of America Jazz pioneer, bandleader, mystic, philosopher, and consummate Afro-Futurist, Sun Ra, (born Herman Poole Blount 1914, Birmingham, Alabama, died 1993) and his personal mythology have grown increasingly relevant to a broad range of artists and communities. �Pathways to Unknown Worlds: Sun Ra, El Saturn & Chicago�s Afro-Futurist Underground, 1954-1968� presents a collection of paintings, drawings, prints, manuscripts, ephemera, and video produced by and about Ra and his associates--much of it previously unseen. This exhibition, on view at the Institute of Contemporary Art April 24-August 2, 2009 in the second floor gallery, examines how Ra and his dynamic, continually-evolving ensemble, the Philadelphia-based Arkestra, crafted both their otherworldly image and fiercely independent approach to self-production. - Read Indepth Article at http://www.absolutearts.com

Amelia Johnson Contemporary, Hong Kong, HK Hong Kong Environmental issues and mans impact on the earth is a constant theme for Adelaide Hills, Australia artist Chris Wake. Her latest exhibition, opening at Amelia Johnston Contemporary, Hong Kong, from April 21 through May 5, 2009, plays with this idea. As flood waters are rising and forest are shrinking at rapid rates, Zebras come to the rescue of eclectic karaoke Queens, goats rescue divas in distress and panda bears try to table their concerns.
