The Hong Kong Museum of Art has assembled an extensive survey of artists working in the city today whose practices reflect Hong Kong’s unique position at the intersection of Chinese traditions and Western influences. Structured around four themes: “Urban Scene”, “Landscape Reimagined”, “Virtual Reality” and “Transformation” – the exhibition brings together the work of 19 artists actively shaping the contemporary cityscape in a wide, sometimes experimental spectrum of media and artistic languages. The list includes both established and developing figures, including Chu Hing-wah, Angela Yuen, Inkgo Lam, Ross Yau, Hung Keung, Leung Mee-ping, Joseph Chan, Chan Wai-lap, Chan Kwan-lok, Jess Leung, Raymond Fung, Wong Hau-kweianother highlander (Wong Ping-puiStanley), Wong Chung-yu, Wong Chun-hee, Wong Lii-ching, Fiona, Hung Hoi, Hung Fai AND Law of Yuk-mui. In particular, the exhibition offers a rare glimpse into each artist’s work process. On the first floor, the museum is presenting a series of miniature studio spaces alongside the video program “Studio and Beyond”, in which artists guide viewers through their spaces, using the studio as a lens on Hong Kong’s unique artistic ecology. In a first for the institution, the museum has also invited artists to create work on site, transforming part of the gallery into an open studio where audiences can step behind the scenes and engage directly with the process.
