Yet it wrings them,bends them, twists them, swings them and flings themand catches them again; and falling as if through oiledslippery air, they landon the threadbare carpet, worn constantly thinnerby their perpetual leaping, this carpet that is lostin infinite space — Rainer Maria Rilke, The Fifth Elegy, Duino Elegies, translated by Stephen Mitchell Kiang Malingue is pleased to present at its Hong Kong location Subrisio Saltat, Grace Carney’s first solo exhibition in Asia.

Phillip Lai /For Caution /Dec 12, 2023 – Jan 27, 2024 /Opening: Saturday, Dec 9, 3pm – 6pm /Wan Chai Gallery / Kiang Malingue 10 Sik On StreetWan Chai, Hong KongTuesday – Saturday, 12am – 6pm +852 2810 0317 kiangmalingue.com Kiang Malingue is pleased to present For Caution, an exhibition of new work by Phillip Lai. This is the London-based artist’s second solo exhibition with the gallery.

Its basis refers to our psychological interactions in this culture, as well as an intermingling with it. Transfers or retentions of energy are envisioned, through materials and objects that often suggest the support of basic daily functions, needs and the sustaining of human life. For his exhibition at Kiang Malingue, Lai’s work occupies various floors of the gallery. The new works made for this show cross-reference each other in their formal vocabularies as well as …

Noteworthy Shows in Hong Kong Autumn / Winter ’23 Edition

Published by Aaina Bhargava

“Hong Kong is back!” seems to be the city’s official PR motto since quarantine for incoming travellers to the city was essentially abolished in October, and restrictions were dropped. If the succession of gala fundraisers and exhibition openings and the general year-end frenzy is anything to go by, the slogan applies to the city’s art scene, which seems to be overcompensating for its dearth of activity over the past two years. There were numerous shows and events last autumn, from Asia Art Archive and Para Site auction fundraisers to blockbuster exhibitions like Yayoi Kusama: 1945 to Now at M+ to smaller exhibitions such as John Batten’s showcase at Ping Pong to online initiatives such as the launch of David Clarke’s digital archive. Here are eight noteworthy exhibitions. Behind Your Eyelid, Pipilotti Rist at Tai Kwun ContemporaryTai Kwun Contemporary’s blockbuster exhibition surpassed expectations, providing an experience that cultural institutions should aspire to. Serving as a mini survey of Rist’s practice, the show featured a number of highlights from the artist’s career, including I’m not the Girl who …

Titled Music for selective hearing, or assisted living, this exhibition will feature five sets of artworks created by the artist in the last two years. Known for exploring the fabric of the socio-political by examining the history and contemporary conditions of sound and music, Young considers in the exhibition the complicated nature of ‘sound conditioning’ – the active control of ambient sounds, as exemplified by such devices as white-noise sleep aids – as self-care and recuperation, but also as self-imposed isolation, control, and wilful disengagement. Included in the exhibition is Samson Young’s collaboration with his long-time friend, violist William Lane. The installation Often easy, sometimes impossible (2021 – 2022) consists of a two-channel video, in which Lane performs Young’s original composition that was scored for a triangle, a viola, and a synthesised glass harmonica …
