Angela Su’s work flows from the intersection of science and art, where intricacy meets imagination. With roots in biochemistry and visual arts, her practice is a dance between the tangible and the ethereal, as she weaves delicate lines into intricate drawings, often unsettling and always profound. Her creations—whether on paper, in video or through hair embroidery—speak of bodies in flux, beings in metamorphosis, and the tension between control and chaos. Su’s art explores the shifting nature of the human body, its transformations, and the interplay of science and fiction. Through her meticulous renderings of invented anatomies, she questions the certainty of the medical gaze, creating speculative worlds where bones become snowflakes, veins twist into vines, and organisms float in space, suspended in the in-between. Her hybrid figures exist in a state of becoming, fragile yet fierce, inviting us into the mystery of the body as it unravels and reforms. In her hands, the body is a site of resistance, a vessel for transformation and a story waiting to be told. With each line, Su reimagines the universe, drawing us …

Contagious Cities: Far Away Too Close / Tai Kwun Contemporary / Hong Kong / Jan 26 – Apr 21 / Diana d’Arenberg Parmanand / In 2003, the SARS outbreak led to a shutdown of Hong Kong. The virus infected 1,755 people in the city, killing 299. Fear of the epidemic led many, mainly expats, to flee. Those who didn’t leave avoided public spaces. A housing estate was put under quarantine, public transport and public areas were deserted, and schools were closed. At the height of the SARS crisis, iconic Hong Kong actor and singer Leslie Cheung jumped to his death from Central’s Mandarin Oriental hotel, adding to the trauma, gloom and anxiety that were already consuming the city. The crisis impacted Hong Kong physically, psychologically and economically, and like epidemics before, it shaped the city and its habits, policies and people. Contagious Cities: Faraway Too Close at Tai Kwun Contemporary, a group show with works by 10 local and international artists, attempts to explore the psychological and emotional dimensions of disease and contagion. Presented by the Wellcome Trust, a biomedical institution …

The Afterlife of Rosy Leavers Blindspot Gallery May 20 –  Jun 30, 2017 John Batten Among the first people to experiment with electronic synthesisers in the early 1970s were British band Curved Air. Their music captured the heady atmosphere of the era, while the cover of their 1972 album Phantasmagoria, drawn by prominent illustrator John Gorham, featured a long, curly title running from edge to edge, with a hooded figure in the background smoking a hookah. The album’s title was inspired by Lewis Carroll’s poem Phantasmagoria, meaning a fantastic sequence of haphazardly associative imagery. Carroll’s poem – the longest he ever wrote – is a comical, nonsensical conversation between a ghost and a Mr Tibbett. The ghost arrives intending to take up residence in Mr Tibbett’s home, but after a series of conversations and explanations of why he is there, eventually realises that he is at the wrong address; he should be at a Mr Tibb’s home. The poem reflects the Victorian era’s interest in the supernatural, the world of psychics and mediums who employed …
