The Works：Creative Chinese Characters@MOA, JeeYoung Lee's Stage of Mind & in the studio: pianist Ans

The art of words, and we're introducing an ongoing exhibition at the Hong Kong Museum of Art that highlights the structure and shape of Chinese characters throughout their long history, and the ways in which they are sometimes adapted creatively in the modern world.

If you’re curious about what the inside of at least one artist's mind might look like, you can dive into the “psychological landscape” of Korean artist JeeYoung Lee at La Galerie. The idea of self-reflection, identity and human existence inspired Lee to create her photography series “Stage of Mind”. The works combine painting, installation, sculpture, mixed media, and performance. Lee spends weeks or even months in her studio to stage and build theatrical sets that represent her emotional experiences. She then records these inner landscapes with a large format 4x5 film camera. Once captured, the sets are demolished, a process that she says allows her to observe herself from creation to destruction.

Many composers and musicians began their musical journey at early ages. Hong Kong-born Anson Wong was just four when he began studying music. A graduate of the Diocesan Boys’ School, he's also began studying at the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts since he was nine, majoring in piano, bassoon, and composition.
Anson's a former bassoon player with the Hong Kong Children’s Symphony Orchestra. He'll be joining them in Tsuen Wan Town Hall this Sunday for their annual concert, this time at the piano. He's with us right now to tell us more.
