Sculpting Sculptures: The Sculpture of Hong Kong

In 2009 and 2010, there were two large-scale sculpture shows held consecutively in Hong Kong, the coverage and the size of audiences of which advanced the development of sculptural art in Hong Kong to an unprecedented height. The two events are “Oasis．Mirage: Hong Kong International Sculpture Symposium 2009” and “Echo – Hong Kong Sculpture Biennial 2010”. Despite having moved my art studio to Guangzhou a while ago, I had the good fortune of participating in the two events and came away with some memorable experiences and feelings. Below is a retrospective account of my participation in and reflections on the two exhibitions.
