For those of you who go to Cheung Chau island, did you notice there is an old cinema in the neighbourhood? It was a small neighbourhood cinema built in 1931. The two-storey cinema is now a Grade 3 listed building. Its historical and social significance inspired an artist to make a film about it.

German artist Isa Genzken works with a range of media, such as sculpture, painting, collage, drawing, film and photography. A trip to Chicago in 1992, in part, started her interest in architecture and urban skylines and created her assemblages of “tower” and “column” sculptures. On show at David Zwirner is Genzken’s first solo exhibition in Hong Kong. It features key works from the past ten years of her four decades long career, including her iconic freestanding floor sculptures to more recent wall-mounted works that explore relationships between architecture, art, commercial goods and everyday lives.

We featured two very different style of female singer-songwriters on the show in the past two weeks, later on the show, revisiting our studio is Olivier Cong. He last came to our studio to talk about his first album, “The Day We Walked Into The Woods, Without A Map” in 2018. Three years on, at the end of October, he created an event that went beyond music. Held at Freespace, “I am afraid of” was an immersive multi-sensory journey of music, smell and moving image. And Olivier is back to our studio to tell us more of the concept behind that creative process and what’s next for him.
