Lap-See Lam at Blindspot Gallery

Published by Artomity Magazine

Lap-See Lam /Bamboo Palace, Revisited /Mar 23 – May 2, 2026 / Blindspot Gallery 15/F Po Chai Industrial Building 28 Wong Chuk Hang Road Wong Chuk Hang, Hong Kong +852 2517 6238 Tuesday – Saturday, 10.30am – 6.30pm blindspotgallery.com Blindspot Gallery is pleased to debut Lap-See Lam’s solo exhibition at the gallery and in Asia, Bamboo Palace, Revisited, coinciding with Art Basel Hong Kong. The exhibition presents Lam’s expansive video installation Floating Sea Palace (2024), alongside her latest glass and neon installations. Lam probes the experience of the Hong Kong Chinese diaspora, migrational movement, generation loss, and the mistranslation of cultural symbols, orientalized through the spectacle of exoticization. Through speculative fiction and mythology, she explores the slippery notions of home and belonging, drawing from her personal experiences growing up in a Hong Kong-immigrant family that owned and ran a Chinese restaurant in Stockholm until 2014. Lam’s work further integrates reinterpretations of traditional forms of storytelling, including shadow play and Cantonese opera, and 3D scanning technology. The scans glitch and deform, a quality embodied in the term “generation loss”, which for Lam conveys a …

Chong explores the human condition through the lens of movement, time, and the traces they bear. He delves into the performative qualities of materials, showing their relationship with the body and their potential for world-making. “carefully” acknowledges precarity while embodying a gesture of care. It proposes solidarity as a way to heal and to move forward from traumas. The new works featured in the exhibition continue themes Chong explored in his video installation and performance, Falling Reversely (2021/2024), presented at the 60th Venice Biennale, reflecting upon the fragility and resistance of the body in the face of systemic violence. In “carefully”, Chong probes our attentiveness to the past by drawing from his …

Chen Wei 陳維

Published by Caroline Ha Thuc

Entering Chen Wei’s new solo exhibition at Blindspot Gallery is akin to stepping into an alternate space-time continuum. Where visitors enter, the title is displayed on a semi-transparent silver partition, illuminated by undulating waves of light that oscillate like a musical frequency. This partition functions as a threshold, inviting visitors to traverse into the world of the Chinese artist, renowned for his meticulously staged photographs and his enigmatic universe, situated between dream and reality. Chen has conceptualised and curated the gallery space, integrating its peeling walls and concrete flooring to construct an environment reminiscent of a theatrical stage. Through the subtle interplay of light, shadow lines that echo the linear compositions of his artworks and a carefully orchestrated dialogue between colours and textures, the exhibition creates a cohesive visual and spatial experience. The artist demonstrates here that image-making is not his sole end but that he rather operates as an architect or a stage designer whose apparatus aims to question our collective sense of reality and our ability to seize it.  The artist has long …

Presenting over thirty works including unseen works from the early 1980s to the present, it is the largest exhibition of Xiyadie ever presented.  Born in 1963 in Weinan, Shaanxi province, Xiyadie is a self-taught traditional Chinese papercut artist who uses a medium with origins dating back to the Eastern Han Dynasty (25-220 CE) to narrate his journey of coming out from rural China as a homosexual person. His autobiographical papercuts chronicle his transformation through an environment that does not lend political agency to queer identifying people, while also reflecting the struggle of a marginalized individual as a migrant worker in the big city. The exhibition titled Butterfly Dream alludes …

Blindspot Gallery 15/F Po Chai Industrial Building 28 Wong Chuk Hang Road Wong Chuk Hang, Hong Kong +852 2517 6238 Tuesday – Saturday, 10.30am – 6.30pm blindspotgallery.com Comfort Zone is Pixy Liao’s first solo exhibition at Blindspot Gallery. The exhibition features selected works recently created by Liao, encompassing photography, video, and ready-made sculpture.  Liao is known for carefully staged portraits of her and partner-collaborator Moro. Her works upend traditional representations of heterosexual relationships by inverting gender roles, often placing Moro as the subservient male muse and herself as the domineering artist-orchestrator. Tongue-in-cheek and imbued with a sense of humor, Liao’s work straddles between the performative and the autobiographical, unfurling her and Moro’s growing relationship. During the opening reception on January 20, there will be an artist talk at 5pm – 6pm, conducted in English.

Zhang Wenzhi 

Published by Caroline Ha Thuc

Tiger in Mountains, Deer at Ocean / Blindspot Gallery / Hong Kong / Nov 28, 2023 – Jan 13, 2024 / Tiger in Mountains, Deer at Ocean, curated by Leo Li Chen at Blindspot Gallery, focuses on Zhang Wenzhi’s latest series of works, primarily consisting of large-format ink-on-paper pieces, accompanied by a video.   Zhang’s artistic practice is deeply rooted in the historical context of Dalian, his hometown in northeastern China, now a modern port city. Throughout history, the region has experienced various periods of foreign occupation, with the British, Japanese and Russians all leaving their imprint. Zhang’s practice is embedded in this specific colonial history, as well as in the distinctive system of beliefs that once prevailed in that part of China, a fusion of Manchu shamanism, Japanese Shinto and Han religion. Within his artworks, mythological and hybrid creatures seamlessly intertwine with forest-dwelling animals, against the backdrop of the region’s complex history of rapid industrialisation and modernisation.  Bay of the Deer (2023), a large work in ink and colour pigments on paper, welcomes viewers …

The cultural history of the region dating to the early 20th century and the subsequent industrialization and modernization of the area are fundamental to Zhang’s practice.  He creates ink paintings that incorporate archival materials, exploring the enduring presence of histories, overshadowed by shifts in power and urbanization, in the region’s collective cultural memory.

The exhibition includes Yeung’s recent oil paintings, and Sze’s charcoal works and oil paintings from the past decade to the present. Yeung Tong Lung is known for his large-scale figurative paintings, characterized by vibrant colors, vivid contrasts, and collagesque compositions that connect multiple spaces, different characters, and narratives on the same plane. Sze Yuen’s creations have always adhered to a horizontal scroll format, with most of her works displaying muted color tones, imbued with a deep sense of uncertainty and instability in terms of location, space, time, and subjects. While their artistic styles diverge greatly, their works are connected by the shared experience of Hong Kong – the …

Leung Chi Wo 梁志和

Published by Caroline Ha Thuc

For decades, Leung Chi Wo has been exploring the history and historical sites of Hong Kong, mixing archival material with photographs, videos, texts and multimedia installations. While his research-based practice brings forth the contradictions and complexities of historiography, it also injects fantasies, intimacy and emotion into collective narratives. Time, and how to embody its multiple dimensions, is the artist’s main subject, reflected in the title of his new solo exhibition, Past-Future Tense, opening in May 2023 at Blindspot Gallery. Caroline Ha Thuc: You have recently been to London to look for archives dealing with British plans for the future of Hong Kong after World War Two. What drove you to do so? Leung Chi Wo: I don’t really know why, but I always feel dragged to stories which read unreal but are true, or vice versa. And historical subjects are mostly such: they always claim to be real. They’re sort of far away and so close at the same time. And supposedly, I am part of a colonial history which has been erased and rewritten, …
