Commodity-Fetishism at Square Street Gallery


  • Hong Kong Hong Kong (map)

Square Street Gallery is pleased to present Commodity-Fetishism, curated by Aaditya Sathish. The exhibition brings together works by Luke Ching Chin Wai, Go Hung, Alexander Si, Chan Ting, and Gabriella Torres-Ferrer — a group of artists who investigate the absurd realities that have risen from the alienation of social relations in post-industrial capitalism.

Commodity-Fetishism examines the abstraction of the human to units of exchange which is central to capitalist production. In response to the evolving webs of power and capital, the exhibited artists hone in on specific dynamics between labour, commodity, and exchange value, which in turn prompt reflections on emerging forms of subject-formation.

The exhibition opens on 9 February, 2023, from 7 - 9 pm.

There will be a performance activating Alexander Si’s UNBOX (2020) on the opening night at 8pm

Gallery address: G/F 21 Square Street, Central
