Press Release

This curated show investigates how 6 contemporary artists transform the materials that surround us daily. Beyond the gallery’s broader anniversary celebration of Diaspora, Ink, Hong Kong, Women, and Emerging artists, these artists reimagine books, garments, currency, and cultural symbols as vessels for new meaning—revealing how the familiar, when re-examined, speaks to power, memory, and value in the present.

Xie Xiaoze renders books in painting and ceramic as monuments to knowledge and its decay, questioning what societies preserve and censor. Man Fung-yi casts the traditional cheongsam in metal lattice, transforming an everyday garment into a trace of cultural craft and embodied memory. Angel Hui mines Hong Kong street culture as a living archive, re-staging nostalgic ephemera within contemporary consumer rituals. Yang Jiechang extends literary history into speculative allegory, reimagining canonical narrative as utopian imagination. Wu Shaoxiang prints currency onto ceramic hearts and stars, smelting political symbols with Pop critique. Yao Qingmei performs the wearing-down of banknotes, exposing economic ritual as absurd theater and reclaiming value from circulation.
