This stunning exhibition, which will debut during Hong Kong Art Week and be open to the public through May, will present commissioned works from local artists, Chris Cheung (widely known as h0nh1m), Phoebe Hui, along with Shanghai based artist Lin Fanglu in partnership with the esteemed Victoria and Albert Museum, cementing this year’s global Art in Resonance program. These artists’ original work will be displayed in the public spaces of The Peninsula Hong Kong, including the iconic façade, The Lobby and The Verandah.
An immersive installation – The Flow Pavilion – by new media artist h0nh1m, was created in collaboration with Tai Ping, whereby a carpet is used as an innovative medium to blend elements of futuristic technology with traditional craftsmanship by hand. A one-way mirror structure modelled after a contemporary tea house will be the centrepiece of a Zen Garden at The Verandah. Within the tea house, programmed kinetic sphere will display dynamic and intricate patterns on the carpet of the artist’s own brain waves during meditation. The allencasing work will provide guests with a multisensory experience that encourages a state of deep focus and tranquility.
Other showcases include Lunar Rainbow – a largescale celestial-themed installation on the hotel’s façade by multimedia artist Phoebe Hui, where fragmented images of the moon digitally printed on aluminum panels, traces the evolution of lunar imagery from 17th-century scientific moon drawings to contemporary open-source archives, blending the past with the present through a contemporary lens.
Another captivating installation, She’s Bestowed Love, by textile artist Lin Fanglu and curated by Dr Xiaoxin Li, V&A’s Curator from Asia Department, uses textile dyed red to symbolise energy and emotion, the circle of life, and love.
