‘Landing on the East’ is the first thematic exhibition by Tang Kwong San and Yuen Nga Chi.
A landing project imagined from the perspective of astronauts, in which the gravitational pull of the moon affects the tides and leads them upon a discovery of a Hong Kong we never know.
With photography, video and installation featuring the deserted borders of Tung Ping Chau and picking up on abandoned objects washed up on the tourist-filled beaches, the exhibition creates an otherworldly visual space through interspersing with objects, islands and the moon.
As the tide rises and falls, the astronaut lifts off again.
‘HKAC CREATORS FOR TOMORROW’ is a new initiative launched by the Hong Kong Arts Centre (HKAC) in 2020 to nurture and support Hong Kong emerging artists and curators who are attempting to launch a professional career in arts to gain practical experiences through programme planning, creation, and execution. The scheme accepts proposals for solo exhibitions or themed group exhibitions of various contemporary art forms and disciplines (Visual Art, New Media Art, Comic Art, Sound Art and Cross-disciplinary Arts) to be held at the Diana Cheung Experimental Gallery (3F, HKAC).
(Opening hours on 09.05 will be 14:00 - 18:00)
Venue address: Diana Cheung Experimental Gallery, 3/F Hong Kong Arts Centre
