For the past seven years, the Hong Kong Arts Centre has held its annual flagship exhibition focusing on artists from the regions. In the past, we’ve seen both floors of the Pao Galleries turned into a winter forest, and a room filled entirely with balloons that radiated sound and colour when touched. This year, visitors can enter a bamboo forest and revisit the concrete maze of the now defunct Kowloon Walled City as well as viewing works by artists from China, Taiwan, Japan, and South and North Korea.
Last week, when we looked back at some of the most significant art news of the year, one event that got a mention was the closing of the Museum of Art for a makeover. The museum closed its doors in August, and won’t be open again for three years, but keep your eyes open and you might spot a mini version of it moving around on four wheels.
The Gutai group, founded in 1954, by Jiro Yoshihara, is known as Japan’s first radical post-war artistic group. “To today’s consciousness,” their manifesto said, “the art of the past, which on the whole presents an alluring appearance, seems fraudulent. Let’s bid farewell to the hoaxes piled up on the altars and in the palaces, the drawing rooms and the antique shops.” The group rejected traditional art and were often multimedia artists, working with live performance, music, theatre and site-specific installations. An exhibition at the Parkview Art Hong Kong gallery gives Hong Kong art lovers a chance to take a look at some of their work “in which an intense cry accompanies the discovery of the new life of matter.”
And if that doesn’t leave you absolutely gobsmacked, maybe our studio guests will. They are a seven-member a cappella group from England, who made their debut at the Edinburgh Festival just last year, and who call themselves, yes, “Gobsmacked!”. Not so long ago, the seven-member a cappella group Gobsmacked! made their debut at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Combining voices and beatboxing, the group interprets both classic and contemporary songs. They’re here to give us a taste.
