Happy New Year! And welcome to the first edition of The Works for 2019! I’m Ben Pelletier. And I’m Ben Tse. Later in the show, helping us to ring in the new year, is pianist Wong Ka-jeng. He’ll be in our studio later to tell us about an upcoming recital. But first, as you may have seen in earlier editions of The Works, in Tsuen Wan a cluster of disused cotton mills owned by the Nan Fung group has been undergoing something of a transformation. The HK$700 million revitalisation project is now complete. And the once desolate factory space has a new lease of life.
The Gutai group is a radical and avant-garde collective started by a group of young artists in post-war Japan. Founded in Osaka in 1954 by the painter, Jiro Yoshihara, the group is known for its experimental approach in pursuit of individualism and creativity. On show at Whitestone Gallery in Hong Kong until next Saturday, “GUTAI-JIN” showcases paintings and installation works by key members of the Gutai Art Association.
Pianist Wong Ka-jeng and his brother cellist Wong Ka-lap have visited The Works a few times over the years. One of the brothers studied in England, the other studied in the United States. They haven’t previously performed together in any public concert, but they have, for 2019, decided to put together a one-night-only piano and cello recital.
