Art space Para/Site is seeking people willing to be part of Brazilian artist Lygia Pape's performance work. The avant-garde artist is part of Brazil's Neo-concrete movement that arose in 1950s. She explores color and form in relation to the sensory cartography of how a person interacts with a collective. First performed in Rio de Janeiro in 1968, Divisor consists of a large swath of white fabric activated by 80 participants for an ever-changing live sculpture.
Performed at 3 pm on May 17 at Chater Road, Central; 3 pm on May 25 at Tamar Park, Admiralty. 852-2517-4620

Many people's first encounter with a musical instrument is the recorder. Recorder virtuoso Stefan Temmingh (pictured) shows it can be just as magical as its woodwind cousins in a concert that pushes the limits of the instrument with Baroque to contemporary pieces. He is joined by conductor Jason Lai with a program that includes the works of Vivaldi, Sibelius and Part.
8 pm, May 18. Concert Hall, Hong Kong City Hall, 5 Edinburgh Place, Central. 852-2836-3336
