I enjoy exploring art galleries - but I often ran out of time to see all the current shows and exhibitions. So I was lucky that all the rain had cut short one of my hikes (a repeat of Wilson Trail Stage 3 with my friend Monica) so I could visit the Pearl Lam Galleries… Continue reading Art exhibition: Spiritual as Mountains at Pearl Lam Galleries
Wow - I can't believe it, I actually made it to the preview evening of the Affordable Art Fair in Hong Kong this year. I was worried that I would not make it again, as I have been quite busy with work. But I was lucky, I finished almost on time yesterday and my friends… Continue reading Visit to the Affordable Art Fair 2014
The M+ museum (M+ stands for museum and mroe) will showcase visual culture that spans local 20th and 21st century art, design and architecture from China, Asia and beyond. At the M+ exhibition at the ArtisTree I visited a preview of the museum's growing collection of architectural models, drawings, renderings and photographs. It included original… Continue reading Building M+ / The Architecture Collection
After yesterday's post about the M+ competition, it's time to reveal the winning design. If you don't know this already,Herzog & de Meuron and TFP Farrells were chosen unanimously. The proposed building, which will feature a large, horizontal platform and a thin slab tower, was praised for its simplicity and clean design. Perhaps the design’s… Continue reading Building M+ / The Winning Design

One of the most amazing artworks that I've seen recently was at the Reveal exhibition at ArtisTree. One of the architects that showed his skill is Edward S. T. Ho - and he is an amazing watercolour painter. It is quite unbelievable that he only started to paint in 2009 when you see his artwork.… Continue reading Edward Ho’s travel journal in watercolour
An almost unknown but very creative exhibition space is ArtisTree in Tai Koo. ArtisTree is a pun for the original word “Artistry” which means “artistic workmanship, effect or quality, artistic ability”. I've been there a few times, first to see the Frank Gehry exhibition about the Opus building and then to see Reveal. Reveal was… Continue reading Reveal and M+ at ArtisTree in Tai Koo
It is a little further away from Central, but it is definitely worth the trip. What am I talking about? The Sha Tin Heritage Museum. I have been a few times now and I always enjoyed it. For instance, the Fabergé exhibition last year was real eye-candy. In 2013 the highlight was the Eddie Lau… Continue reading Eddie Lau and Bruce Lee at the Sha Tin Heritage Museum
I'm always a big fan of the Pearl Lam Galleries in Hong Kong, they put on such great and fun exhibition (for example the Jim Lambie exhibition earlier this year). Just before Christmas I went to see Yinka Shonibare's exhibition there, which runs until January 9, 2014. This is the first solo exhibition in Hong… Continue reading Art exhibition: Yinka Shonibare at Pearl Lam Galleries
