Abstract
Hong Kong's widely acclaimed contemporary art exhibition, ART IN PUBLIC SPACES ART WINDOWS, is presenting a whole new series of site-specific artworks in highly-visible retail windows all over Hong Kong, Kowloon and the New Territories. This unique project is bringing today's art to the public, helping make it part of everyday Hong Kong life.
Response to ART Windows has been overwhelmingly positive since the program began in August. A wide cross-spectrum of the community, including, most importantly, the general public has provided extremely encouraging comments about the project. There has also been extensive media coverage of ART Windows and the high-quality works it is presenting.
The new series of outstanding artworks on display provides an excellent introduction to Hong Kong's growing and exciting contemporary art scene. September highlights include a colorful, multi-media installation with computer-generated images at Causeway Bay Seibu by David Lui. In Tsuen Wan, a mysterious, pulsating light box installation by Jonathan Wong is on display at The Body Shop. Freeman Lau's magical fiber-optic installation, " Dream", can be viewed at Episode in Central.
In October there will be many more installations. Architect Corrin Chan's assemblage artwork based on several months of historical and social research will be exhibited in Tuen Mun at Offspin. Ms. Chan's research traces Tuen Mun's history back to the Stone Age, through the Han and Tang dynasties, and up to its present urban development. Alan Chan's giant, tilted steel bowl and chopsticks exhibited at the entrance of Seibu in Pacific Place reflect the importance of "a bowl of rice" to Chinese and other Asian societies. Several other exciting installations, including Fiona Wong's white porcelain and Josiah Leung's shoe sculpture, will also be shown from now until October 30, 2001.
