Showcasing works by seven of Hong Kong’s up-and-coming artists, Big Wind Blows centres on the frustration, anxiety and uncertainty that the city’s young art practitioners face today. The title of the exhibition is inspired by the eponymous children’s game in which one player, the ‘ghost’, establishes a rule that the other players must follow. Those who do not follow it are eliminated, or ‘blown away by the big wind’. Similarly, these artists are navigating the trends, or ‘rules’, set by today’s art world, the main source of their uneasiness. Yet they chose not to blindly follow them, risking instead to be swept away by the ‘big wind’.
