“Let’s Try Catching Steam with Bare Hands” at Gallery Exit

A show not to be missed especially if you keep repeating that there’re no good artists in Hong Kong — yes, I won’t lose any chance to pour my vitriol.
Thorough exploration seems to me like one of the main characteristics of Hong Kong art. And whether it is a never ending journey of a lonely together couple, a search for the origins of the figure from the Blue Girl Beer, or a meticulous documentation and reconstruction of Hong Kong public pools—these artworks seem nostalgic, ambiguous, and flux as steam, slipping through your fingers but still a powerful source of energy, if used correctly.

Exhibition period: 11 December—29 January
Gallery address: 3/F, 25 Hing Wo Street, Tin Wan, Aberdeen
