HKARTS: A Place We Call Home

HKARTS is back! After a long exhibition hiatus due to covid, we're finally back and so excited for you to check it out. W Hong Kong is proud to present "This Place We Call Home,” a collaboration with The Hong Kong Art Collective, showcasing the works of 10 talented local Hong Kong artists. The exhibition is held at the hotel's LOBBY on 1/F, offering guests and art enthusiasts an opportunity to appreciate the unique perspectives of these artists and their interpretation of what home means to them.

"This Place We Call Home" is a W Hong Kong initiative that promotes and supports local art and culture. The exhibition aims to celebrate the diverse and dynamic artistic community in Hong Kong and to provide a platform for emerging artists to showcase their talent.

The 10 featured artists come from a range of backgrounds and artistic disciplines, including painting, photography, digital art, and mixed media. Their works explore the theme of home in a variety of ways, from personal and emotional connections to physical spaces and the city of Hong Kong itself.

SPACE RICH (2023) BY CHANG

In the same vein as 2021’s “Bling Dynasty,” which explored contemporary (pre-pandemic) global consumerism by bringing together Chinese and Western culture and artistic styles in provocative visual hybrids, “Space Rich” will again entice viewers by its incorporation of recognizable figures and icons from pop culture and luxury brands in its compositions.

This time, “earthly” icons are juxtaposed against the barren landscape of Mars, in a sort of visual contemplation of what deep space habitation will be like if it is possible, and whether “escape” from reality—into outer space or to virtual reality—is truly possible for those of us inhabiting a world dominated by consumerist urges and social media feeds.

The Stallery invites viewers on a foray into Chang’s imaginative visions of Mars and its futuristic inhabitants’ footprint on it, which, as always in his practice, are at once provocative and playfully enticing
