The reception marks the opening of the first solo exhibition of So Wing Po at Para Site, featuring newly commissioned works by the artist. Opened in 2023, Para Site’s tenth-floor space has been an experimentation ground for site-specific interventions, intimate-scale exhibitions, workshops, gatherings, and a screening programme. So Wing Po (born1985, Hong Kong) was born into a family of Chinese medicine doctors and grew up surrounded by medicinal ingredients, transforming them into raw materials for playthings and eventually artworks. Having learned that traditional Chinese medicine originates from observation, sensitivity and imagination towards nature, So applies the same theory of knowledge in her investigation of forms, materiality, metaphysics and relationality. In addition, So often incorporates research from her interest in cosmology into her large-scale installations and sculptures.
Opening reception: 6:00pm–8:00pm
Venue address: 10/F, Wing Wah Industrial Building, 677 King’s Road, Quarry Bay
