We have art for the eyes in painting and sculpture, we have art for the ears in music, but unless you are a master perfumier, you are not likely to be particularly aware of the complexities or potentials of art for the nose. In an ongoing exhibition at the Hong Kong Museum of Art, fragrance, particularly its history in Chinese culture, is placed front and centre. And, unsurprisingly, given that Hong Kong itself is sometimes referred to in English as “Fragrant Harbour” due perhaps to its former position as a producer and trader of agarwood oil, resin, and incense, the exhibition also features contemporary local artists who still like to work in the art of the odour.
Walking through the contrasting dark and light rooms in Blindspot Gallery, you move through a world of duality created by New York-based artist Jen Liu for her debut Hong Kong exhibition: "I Am Cloud".
Singer-songwriter Orange Leung says he wrote his first two songs during a period of depression and anxiety and in the hope of transforming despair through music.
He also writes music for films, and he’s with us right now to tell us a little about his musical journey.
