City Gallery is an exhibition centre about the planning and development of Hong Kong. It is located at Edinburgh Place in Central - and I only stumbled upon it by sheer luck. We went to see a photography exhibition at the City Hall and that's when we noticed the City Gallery next door. It is… Continue reading City Gallery Museum
The other exhibition we visited in Chai Wan was Ho Fan's 'A Hong Kong Memoir', which runs until January 31 at the AO VERTICAL gallery. It really is worth a visit, so if you are into photography, you should go and see it! Ho Fan is one of Asia’s most beloved street photographers. He captured… Continue reading Photography exhibition: Ho Fan at AO VERTICAL
I am a bit annoyed with myself that I discovered this exhibition late - that's because it is hosted at the YY9 Gallery in Chai Wan, which is in the Far East of Hong Kong Island, and it is open only on Wed-Sat. So I had to find some time to go there - but… Continue reading Art exhibition: Soulmate at YY9 Gallery
I think I've found my favourite exhibition in Hong Kong this year - it's at the Ben Brown Fine Arts Gallery in the Pedder Building. When I walked in, I had no idea what to expect and I was blown away. I had no idea who Tseng Kwong Chi and at a first glance, I… Continue reading Tseng Kwong Chi at Ben Brown Art Gallery
A quick review of the Jeff Koons exhibition that ran until December 20, 2014 in Hong Kong.
Hong Kong is celebrating the international photo festival from August 8 to November 11, 2014. It is focused on promotion art photography and was inaugurated in 2010. This year the theme is "Now Becoming Then" and the focus is on how the nature of photography enables human beings to transcend time and space. The now… Continue reading Photography Exhibition: Raghu Rai
The title is slightly misleading - I didn't actually see that many elephants at the Cityplaza shopping mall last Thursday (I saw more at Pacific Place the other day). That's because the exhibition ended already on September 9. Instead, I spent more time in the shop, looking over all the different designs from the different… Continue reading Elephant Parade in Cityplaza
After pandas, there are now elephants in town... not as many as there were during the 1,600 papier-mache pandas' visit, but still plenty! I visited the herd at Pacific Place last weekend - they will stay there, as well as in Cityplaza and Citygate Outlets until September 9, so you still have a few days… Continue reading Elephant Parade in Pacific Place
Occasionally, I had seen some of Peter Yuill's artwork before. For instance, in The Cat Street Art Gallery (which I enjoy visiting). But usually I would only see one or two of his pictures (like the mural at 0.5 Japanese) and then forget about all him. However, I recently came across his Facebook page, and… Continue reading Hong Kong Artwork by Peter Yuill
Finally, the third and final exhibition that I visited in the Pedder Building. It was a photographic exhibition that my friends had recommended: Searching Journeys by the well-known Japanese photographer Daido Moriyama. He is widely recognised for his innovative, highly personal and unvarnished depictions of urban life. He is known for back-street boxers, strippers and… Continue reading Art exhibition: Daido Moriyama at Simon Lee Gallery
