N2 - Curated by Carol Yinghua Lu, it is the first survey exhibition of Leung Chi Wo in Mainland China. Despite the geographical proximity and frequent economic exchanges between Shenzhen and Hong Kong, there exists a considerable gap between the art communities on both sides of the border.Leung, a veteran of the Hong Kong art scene, will receive an in-depth consideration of his three-decade long practice in this exhibition that presents 30 works drawn from the period from 1993 to present days.As a Hong Kong native, Leung’s works, in the form of photography, performance, text, video and installations, often portrays and explores his hometown city in terms of its urban space, its languages, its memory and its colonial history, its bureaucratic structure and the ideology imbedded in it, its art world and its art history. But he also goes beyond the history of Hong Kong and questions and investigates into forms and content of historic consciousness, memories, and narratives that are constructions in essence.The works in the exhibition will be arranged non-chronologically or strictly by their subject matters. Rather, the audience would be invited to navigate a rhizome-like floor plan that reflects the reoccurring and interwoven concerns central to the artist’s practice: “City and its myth”, “Subjective memory”, “Text and language of uncertainty”, “My small art world”, and “Perceptive space”, with subtle indications of connectivity among the works.
