Maeve Brennan: Records at Tai Kwun Contemporary


  • Hong Kong Hong Kong (map)

The UK-based artist and filmmaker Maeve Brennan explores the legacy of human impact on the environment and unearths hidden narratives within society’s dominant narratives. Led by an investigative approach, her works span moving image, installation, sculpture, and printed media.

Central to Brennan’s practice is research focusing particularly on ecological issues, obscured material past, and underground economies. Despite grappling with complex structures and systems, Brennan engages with her subjects intimately, drawing from chance encounters, personal experiences, and long-term relationships.

Presenting her works for the first time in Asia, this exhibition brings together works from The Goods, an ongoing project that delves into the international traffic in looted antiquities. Also debuting in the exhibition is a new film that traces stolen objects back to Southern Italy, weaving together local stories and anecdotes to understand the impact of archeological excavation on the region’s landscape and communities.
