Press Release

The Academy of Visual Arts (AVA) is delighted to announce our role as a Cultural Partner of Art Basel Hong Kong 2026. Alongside our presence at the HKCEC, we present the parallel exhibition “Between Image and Index”. This show brings together 33 artists and artist groups, ranging from emerging to established talents, based in Hong Kong, Macau, Shenzhen, Frankfurt, Berlin, Lisbon, Kraków and Katowice.

In a world saturated by digital screens and technology advancement, images are no longer just “windows” to reality, they are further instrumentalised in shaping our belief and attention in daily lives. This exhibition moves beyond fixed representations to explore the traces behind and “in-between” spaces where meaning is made together with the pictorial form.

Spanning two venues, the HKBU Koo Ming Kown Exhibition Gallery and the AVA Gallery at Kai Tak, this distributed exhibition invites you to experience art through movement and encounter.
