Tai Kwun is proud to present its first-ever Art Week (22 to 30 March 2025) - a dynamic nine-day celebration brimming with cutting-edge performances from emerging artists, absorbing cultural events, extended exhibition hours, and eclectic commercial gallery offerings.
As the highlight of the week, Artists’ Night, presented by Tai Kwun and supported by Art Basel Hong Kong, returns on Friday, 28 March 2025, curated by Jill Angel Chun and Shuman Wang. From 7-11 pm, venues across Prison Yard will be transformed with a cross-disciplinary lineup of performances, music, and entrancing experiences. Highlights include:
Live performance and film screening by Lawrence Lek, named by Time as one of the 100 most influential people working in AI in 2024. Blending Sino-futurism, wasteland aesthetics, and expressive electronic soundscapes, Lek examines the body, identity, agency, and emotions in the age of artificial intelligence in “NOX”.
Experimental electronic artist 33EMYBW will present a brand-new audiovisual performance, Holes of Sinian. The live set incorporates vocal samples and field recordings, blending music from China’s borderlands, Tanzania, Bulgaria, and Thailand.
Throughout Art Week, Tai Kwun Contemporary will offer extended hours for its ongoing exhibitions, providing greater access for arts professionals, VIP guests, and the public, including a line up of three female artists: Alicja Kwade: Pretopia; Hu Xiaoyuan: Veering; and Maeve Brennan: Records.
