  • Of Kowloon's Uncrowned Kings and True Recluses
    ART RESEARCH SPECIAL ISSUE vol.1 Of Kowloon’s Uncrowned Kings and True Recluses: Commemoration, Trace, and Erasure, and the Shaping of a Hong-Kong-topia Of Kowloon Of from Chen Botao (1855–1930) to Tsang Tsou-choi (1921–2007) Shao-Lan Hertel (Tsinghua University Art Museum) E-mail: [email protected] ’ s Uncrowned Kings and Recluses: True Commemoration, and Trace, Erasure, and the Shaping of a abstract Whether as political exile for yimin-loyalists of the Qing dynasty, migrant destination for Chinese Mainlanders seeking work, or global hub for cultural exchangesthe topia of Hong Kong can be defined as both periphery and center; moreover: “The significance of Hong Kong art from the perspective of twentieth-century China is its identity as the exception” (Tsong-zung Johnson Chang). While the specificity of Hong Kong art lies in its intrinsically heterotopic condition, defying any fixed definition or essentialist narrative, an overarching recurrence within art discourse is a distinct sense of place and time; a consciousness that has shaped Hong Kong identity in the collective imagination over time. Against this backdrop, this essay explores the art-historical, -geographical, and -political landscape of Hong Kong through the lens of local artists active from the early twentieth century on, focusing on Tsang Tsou-choi (1921–2007), the “King of Kowloon,” known for his once ubiquitous street graffiti calligraphy marking the public spaces of Hong Kong; and further, literati-poet Chen Botao (1855–1930), the self-proclaimed “True Recluse of Kowloon,” who founded a loyalist tradition of “Exile Poetics” based on Song-dynasty poetry.

Accompanied by Chairman of MTR Corporation Dr Rex Auyeung, Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, Mrs Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor, GBM, GBS, today (26 June 2021) officiated at the TML launch in Sung Wong Toi Station, where she also unveiled the in-station exhibition of relics discovered during the excavation for the station. The full TML sees the extension of the existing TML Phase 1 from Kai Tak Station to Hung Hom Station via two newly-built stations, Sung Wong Toi and To Kwa Wan, via Ho Man Tin Station finally connecting to what is currently known as the West Rail Line. With 27 stations along a route length of approximately 56 kilometres, the full TML will be the longest railway line in Hong Kong. As Kowloon City and To Kwa Wan become reachable by railway service, those who live and work along the alignment will enjoy greater ease of travel, and the communities around the stations will also gain new impetus for growth and development. Dr Rex Auyeung, Chairman of MTR Corporation said, “TML is a railway line that will benefit everybody in Hong Kong.
