1a space proudly announces down to earth (exhale), the 2nd edition of our Mid-Career Artist Exhibition and Publication Series. This project brings together the selected team of artist Chloë Cheuk, curator Yang Yeung, and researcher Christina Chung to explore the artist’s evolving practice with diverse perspectives.
down to earth (exhale) is a solo exhibition of works by Montreal-based Hong Kong artist Chloë Cheuk. Her past sculptural and video works are contextualised in a Hong Kong that she is starting to get to know since relocating to Canada ten years ago. This exhibition presents Chloë Cheuk’s evolving practice, which is driven by curiosity, experimentation across mediums, and an ongoing quest to pursue completeness–an intrinsic quality in her artistic practice and her life. This exhibition is accompanied by the publishing of Cheuk’s first artist monograph, Chloë Cheuk: In Search of Completeness.
Chloe Cheuk graduated from the School of Creative Media at City University of Hong Kong in 2012, and is now pursuing a MFA at Concordia University in Quebec, Canada. Her solo exhibitions include “She, herself” (Things that can happen, Hong Kong, 2015); “After Blossom” (100ft. PARK, Hong Kong, 2015); “Every Every, Fuse:: A.I.R.” (Videotage, Hong Kong, 2015); “A Little Bit Different” (2015, ZHdK, Switzerland). She has participated in a number of group exhibitions, including LOOP Festival (2016, Barcelona, Spain); 16th Media Art Biennale WRO (2015, Wroclaw, Poland); Ars Electronica Centre (2014-2015, Linz, Austria). She is the recipient of the Special Mention Award at the 19th ifva Festival (Interactive Media Category) in 2014.

1a space is an independent, non-profit contemporary visual art organisation founded in 1998 by a collective of Hong Kong art workers. It first opened in an old government warehouse on Oil Street—helping spark Hong Kong’s first artists’ village—before relocating in 2001 to its current base at Cattle Depot Artist Village in To Kwa Wan.
