Tang Contemporary Art is delighted to announce Hong Kong artist Chow Chun Fai’s solo exhibition “Map of Amnesia,” which will be held at the Central H Queen’s space from 13 Sep to 15 Oct. Encompassing works that perpetuate the artist’s practice of portraying Hong Kong’s memories and cinematography, presented are historic locations like the Mahjong House at Portland Street, Man Mo Temple, the Hong Kong Museum of Art, Mido Café, and Lin Heung Tea House. Meanwhile, cinema classics like As Tears Go By 旺角卡門, A Moment of Romance 天若有情, Chungking Express 重慶森林, Comrades: Almost a Love Story 甜蜜蜜, City War 義膽紅唇, Infernal Affairs 無間道, and The Lucky Guy 行運一條龍 are also featured in the exhibition.

Created specifically for this exhibition, Chow’s latest canvas paintings are based on his photography done over the last 20 years when wandering around the city streets of Hong Kong. From there, Chow echoed his paintings with how Hong Kong films would depict particular scenes at particular times, evoking a sense of nostalgia for the collective memory in a romantic urbanity of the past, breaking the framework of time and expressing the artist's thoughts and feelings about these locations over the past several to tens of years.

Opening Reception on 13 September (Fri) from 6 to 8 pm

Gallery address: 10/F, H Queen’s, Central
