Unpacking is a group exhibition featuring artworks by Melbourne-based artists Judy Kong, Kelly So, Cheryl Liu and Wise Yeung. The multimedia exhibition showcases video installation, sculpture and ceramics. This introspective exhibition reflects on the migrating identity of Hong Kongers living in Australia. As the Hong Kong population in Hong Hong risen rapidly in recent years, the four artists utilise their unique position in history to portray an outsider perspective on the state of becoming.
Traveling artists carry items of baggage on the road. Whenever they encounter something inspiring, they stop and unload. Artists always open their senses. They are always ready to be moved, especially in a foreign place. When they arrive at a fertile soil that allows creativities to grow, they may pause their journey and set up a site for art creation. Waltzing Matilda, one of the most famous Australian Poems, mirrors the situations of the four artists in Unpacking. Similarly, they are travelers with great expectations.
Venue address: 10/F, Hong Kong Arts Centre, 2 Harbour Road, Wan Chai,
