Car license plate spotting hit a frenzy this week here in Hong Kong! Here is this the round up: POPO, PIZZA, GIGGLES, TORRES 9, LE CAR, GO GO GO and DADDY……
Hooligan exhibition by Simon Birch at Ben Brown Fine Arts. A highly acclaimed artist and active member of Hong Kong’s art community, Simon is known for pushing boundaries and working to involve other local artists in his exhibitions. The show is made up of a series of paintings featuring figures captured in a state of explosive movement.
Multi-storey parking! Sculpture known as Rebirth 2013 at the Jiangcheng No 1 Culture Park in Wuhan. The site of a former tractor factory is being transformed into local culture and art community with investment of around 32.5 million US$. Looks like they have been inspired by Beijing’s 798 Art District.
Scottish artist Jim Lambie is exhibiting at the Pearl Lam Gallery with his installation Metal Box (Apple Orchard). Made of aluminium, polished steel sheets, household and flurescent paints.
Lambie specialises in colourful sculptural installations made from everyday modern materials and found objects, such as posters, album covers and household products. The other trademark theme in his artistic practice is using brightly coloured vinyl tape arranged into patterns around the floor of the spaces, tracing the shape of the room to reveal the idiosyncrasies of its architecture.
Four static dads with laptops dressed as Spiderman in Hong Kong! The electronic pop masters Kraftwerk with their 3D show and 16 track playlist. Their quality of music is beyond question and despite the fact they are a ‘classic’ band performing their back catalogue, their sound still sounds truly unique. The 3D animations are extremely basic and act as works of art, the Independent describing them as “a futuristic vision rising out of the past.” A stunning show!
