Austin Bell: Shooting Hoops at Blue Lotus Gallery
A photographic documentation of all outdoor basketball courts in Hong Kong, of which there are 2,549. Seeing them so neatly arranged is deeply, viscerally satisfying. But also, isn’t this number mind-blowing? You know what they say: “If a city builds few basketball courts, it loves basketball. If a city builds a few thousand basketball courts, it loves building basketball courts.”? (or something like that; precise quoting is my personal strength, as you might have noticed)
Now I need to know: are Hong Kong’s professional basketball teams really good?
Exhibition period: 17.01–23.02
Gallery address: 28 Pound Lane, Tai Ping Shan, Sheung Wan
