Goethe-Institut Hongkong is pleased to have supported Hong Kong artists May Fung and Tang Kwok-hin in their research trips to Kassel, to experience the "Lumbung" concept of documenta 15. What have May Fung and Tang Kwok-hin got upon their return from Kassel's documenta 15? Could there be more frustration and skepticism? In doubting and caring about the restriction and approach of documenta 15, how do we look at the glory and the loss of art?
As a follow-up programme of their research trips, May Fung and Tang Kwok-hin will present an exhibition at the Goethe-Gallery and the Black Box Studio from October 15 to November 5, 2022.
May Fung creates a conceptual object-painting installation to contrast a realistic collage installation of photographic images and texts she collected inside and outside documenta 15. The two installations gaze at each other letting the audience interpret and imagine by themselves. Ultimately we may ask: how do art clusters sustain development of art in different times and spaces?
