Flattened Metal in Association with K11 Art Foundation 20 April – 19 June 2016 Press Preview: 19 April 2016 Press Release March 2016 Guan Xiao: Flattened Metal In association with K11 Art Foundation 20 April – 19 June 2016 Press Preview: 19 April 2016 Guan Xiao, Action, 2014. Courtesy the artist, Antenna Space, Shanghai and Kraupa-Tuskany Zeidler, Berlin The ICA in association with the K11 Art Foundation is delighted to announce the first solo institutional exhibition in the UK by Chinese artist Guan Xiao. The exhibition, entitled Flattened Metal, will be presented in the Lower Gallery from 20 April – 19 June. Later this year, Guan Xiao’s exhibition will be presented at the chi K11 art museum in Shanghai from 18 October – 30 November 2016. Working mainly in sculpture and video, Chinese artist Guan Xiao (b.1983) explores how ways of seeing are now influenced by digital image circulation as an increasingly dominant source of knowledge and information exchange. In various works and installations she endeavours to expand the aesthetic and cognitive possibilities for how identity and meaning are assigned and understood. Guan Xiao’s work is occupied with our incomprehension of the past, and the way in which the unknown gives rise to intriguing discussion in the present. She juxtaposes references from the past and present (or future), weaving visual and audio material (including video clips found on the internet), digital rendering techniques and objects, alongside so-called primitive and high tech elements, creating distinct and evocative installations. In this way, she offers fresh perspectives on what we perceive as the ‘new’ and the ‘old’. Guan Xiao’s ICA exhibition will include a video triptych and new installation comprising six large printed screens, in front of which will be placed sculptures made up of various materials, including speakers that emit new audio works. Flattened Metal is presented by the ICA in association with the K11 Art Foundation, with thanks to the Guan Xiao Exhibition Supporters Group including Joyce Liu, Antenna Space, Shanghai, Bruno Wang & Pure Land Foundation and Kraupa-Tuskany Zeidler, Berlin. Guan Xiao is in conversation with ICA Head of Programme Katharine Stout on Wednesday 20 April at 7pm in ICA Studio.

Icommunity has achieved meteoric attention and media coverage. They are not artists or curators or even high profile museum directors. They are the new faction of a young (thirty-five and under) and affluently divested “artrepreneur,” a term applied to differentiate them from the older generation of discreet art collectors and to highlight the effects of their dramatic buying power for purchasing art in bulk.1 It’s almost impossible for these handful numbers of men to escape anyone’s attention as fodders for online and WeChat attention. They include the founders Adrian Cheng of chi K11 art museums in Hong Kong and mainland China, Lu Xun of Sifeng Art Museum in Nanjing, Lin Han of M Woods Museum in Beijing, and Chong Zhou of the Shanghai restaurant Le Petit Cochon Vert. They have been educated abroad and command full confidence to grant interviews in Mandarin and perfect English. They also possess a no-nonsense ability to put down significant sums of money with relative ease where no older collectors had usually dared. David Chau belongs to this category of China’s new artrepreneurs. Helming disparate businesses such as a fleet company and modeling agency as well as diverse contemporary art projects, David Chau is widely known for his support of Shanghai’s galleries and launching the annual Art 021 Shanghai Contemporary Art Fair (begun 2013). His Cc Foundation is the sponsor of the 2016 Yishu Awards for writing and curating on contemporary Chinese art.

  • Press Release Collector Awards 2016 by LARRYS LIST
    Press Release Hong Kong, November 24, 2016 LARRY'S LIST Is Granting the COLLECTOR AWARDS 2016 Since 2012, LARRY’S LIST has been following and analyzing the global scene of private art collectors and private museums, documenting the developments through reports, interviews, and listings. To further highlight the activities and happenings in this field, LARRY’S LIST is excited to launch the LARRY’S LIST COLLECTOR AWARDS. The awards are dedicated to acknowledging outstanding achievements, as well as contributions and commitment to the arts. Private art collectors and privately founded art museums will receive awards in six different categories. LARRY’S LIST is greatly excited that more and more private collectors are using their collections as a platform for interaction and education, making them accessible to a broader public audience, either by opening privately owned spaces or by lending and do- nating their collections to public institutions. “There are a number of great examples to mention, and indeed it is a difficult selection process among such amazing examples. However, we see that some collectors even go beyond the expected, mastering originali- ty and bringing new ideas to the scene,” states Christoph Noe, co-founder of LARRY’S LIST. The selection process is premised on LARRY’S LIST’s own exhaustive in-house research. Based on a shortlist, a winner for each of the six categories is declared. The relevant pe- riod for this year’s award was December 2015 to November 2016. Private collectors, pri- vate museums, and corresponding activities in each region of the globe were considered. Consistent with the nature of LARRY’S LIST, the focus is on the wider contemporary art landscape.

  • Prospects Not So Bright for Hong Kong Jewelry Mogul's Successors
    BUSINESS Prospects not so bright for Hong Kong jewelry mogul's successors JENNIFER LO, Nikkei staff writer October 16, 2016 07:00 JST HONG KONG -- When the powerful and wealthy flocked to the Hong Kong Funeral Home on Oct. 12 and 13 to pay respect to Cheng Yu-tung, who had died aged 91, they were marking the loss of the first of a generation of rags-to-riches businessmen whose acumen and diplomatic savviness is almost unrivalled by their successors. As the founder of Chow Tai Fook Jewellery, the world's largest jeweler by market capitalization with the exception of Tiffany & Co., Cheng earned a reputation for tact in forging ties with heavyweights in Hong Kong and beyond. His investment in a diamond business backed by Wen Jiabao's wife brought him close to the family of the former Chinese premier, the New York Times reported. Cheng's funeral was a rare gathering of the business elite and Hong Kong dignitaries. His poker partner, billionaire Lee Shau-kee of Henderson Land Development, and Hong Kong's richest man, Li Ka-shing of CK Hutchison Holdings, were among the pallbearers. The funeral hall, decorated with white orchids, was filled with bouquets from mourners such as Zhang Dejiang, chairman of the standing committee of the Chinese National People's Congress, and Pony Ma Huateng, founder and chairman of Chinese internet giant Tencent Holdings. Cheng Yu-tong's funeral was a rare gathering of Hong Kong dignitaries. Tycoons Li Ka-shing of CK Hutchison Holdings and Lee Shau-kee of Henderson Land Development carried the coffin, along with Leung Chun-ying and Tung Chee-hwa, the territory's current and former heads of government.

  • Public Art in the Private City: Control, Complicity and Criticality in Hong Kong
    Open Philosophy 2019; 2: 280–298 Does Public Art Have to Be Bad Art? Lara van Meeteren and Bart Wissink* Public Art in the Private City: Control, Complicity and Criticality in Hong Kong https://doi.org/10.1515/opphil-2019-0020 Received May 08, 2019; accepted June 09, 2019 Abstract: Responding to Open Philosophy’s call ‘Does public art have to be bad art?’, in this paper we argue that this discussion should pay attention to the consequences of structural transformations that guide the production and presentation of public art in today’s increasingly private city. While entrepreneurial governance and corporate branding strategies generate new opportunities, they might also result in increased risk averseness and control over the content of public art, thus putting its critical potential at risk. That observation ushers in urgent questions about control, complicity and criticality. We aim to reflect on those questions through two public art projects in Hong Kong: Antony Gormley’s Event Horizon (2015) and Our 60-second friendship begins now (2016) by Sampson Wong Yu-hin and Jason Lam Chi-fai. After drawing conclusions on the justification of public funding for co-productions, the legitimacy for artists to sometimes not ‘follow the rules’, and the problematic nature of a narrow definition of professionalism as a means to discredit artists, our analysis underlines the urgent need to develop a framework that can guide discussions on the consequences of control and complicity for the critical potential of public art. Keywords: Public art, private city, control, complicity, criticality, Event Horizon, Antony Gormley, Countdown machine, Add Oil team, Hong Kong 1 Introduction What are the possibilities for critical public art in an increasingly private city? In response to Open Philosophy’s call for papers, in this contribution we argue that this should be one of the central questions in the discussion about public art today.

  • Wang Xin Solo Show 2018.09.16
    Unknown Artists Agency – Wang Xin Solo Show 2018.09.16 – 2018.12.15 Shenyang chi K11 art space 4F K11 Art Mall, Shenyang, China Producer: Adrian Cheng Artistic Director: May Xue Shenyang chi K11 art space is pleased to present Wang Xin’s latest solo exhibition, “Unknown Artists Agency”, from September 16 to December 15, 2018. The exhibition features 12 recent immersive interactive art installations. These works are independent as well as interlocking parts of an organic structure, forming an interesting model of the contemporary art ecosystem. Visitors are invited to explore the reciprocal relationships between individual artists, artistic practices and the public. Without borrowing from social reality and emotional experiences, Wang Xin’s practice is rooted in the ecosystem that artists actually rely on. Taking the system’s insiders — — including gallerists, artists, art agencies, artworks —— and the system’s set rules as materials, her installations, videos and new media works challenge the art world’s established framework in playful ways, while addressing philosophical propositions of the value of art and the future in a technologically advanced, environmentally dilapidated anthropocene. As a certified hypnotist, Wang Xin engages into the working of the subconscious and is familiar with creating ambiguous situations to influence people’s perceptions. These experiences are utilised by Wang Xin in her art practice. Two most significant elements throughout her work are the use of pink colour and a ubiquitous use of slogans. Artists often employ symbolic elements and icons to emphasize individualistic characteristics. Wang Xin’s frenetic use of these two elements is no less a reference and a sarcastic retort of such normalcy in the art world.
