According to the Chinese Lunar calendar, this is the Year of the Wood Snake. In Chinese literature and mythology, the snake is an ambiguous symbol. On the one hand, it’s associated with darkness, deceit, maliciousness and fear. On the other, it’s thought of as a little dragon, symbolising good luck, rebirth, wisdom and agility. To celebrate the new year, the Kadoorie Farm and Botanic Garden is currently presenting an exhibition and educational programme to provide visitors with everything they might want to know about snakes.

On show at the Axel Vervoordt Gallery “Cosmology”, features Chiyu Uemae's works completed between the 1950s and the 2000s. The centrepiece, "Untitled", highlights his ability to transform humble and everyday objects into the abstract. It also echoes the group’s 1956 manifesto: “Gutai Art imparts life to matter; the human spirit and matter shake hands with each other while keeping their distance.”

Last April, pianist Niu Niu and the Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Jaap von Sweden, released a live recording of Tchaikovsky’s much-loved Piano Concerto No. 1 and his Symphony No. 6. Niu Niu returned to Hong Kong last week to complete the piano concerto, cycle, performing Tchaikovsky’s Second and Third piano concertos.
He also came back to our studio to tell us more about the concert and his other plans for 2025.
