After Time
Three regional artists exhibit their works to explore the essence of time, and what would happen
if time were no longer a constraint. Chung Seoyoung from South Korea showcases an installation
of steel railings inconveniently demarcating an empty gallery space; Hong Kong’s Morgan Wong
shows a collection of video performances, including one in which he attempts to file down a steel
rod into a nail file, and Erica Lai from Singapore displays her photography—all of which invite you to
spend longer than your usual two seconds contemplating art. Through Sep 10. Pearl Lam Galleries,
601-605, 6/F, Pedder Building, 12 Pedder St., Central, 2522-1428.
A Parallel Tale:
Taipei in 80s x Hong Kong in 90s.
This exhibition continues on from its acclaimed
debut at “Hong Kong Week 2013 @ Taipei,”
showing the works from 10 of Hong Kong and
Taipei’s best comic artists since the 80s. You’ll see
dramatic artwork by local artist Fung Chi-ming (not
the Hong Kong footballer); Li Chi-tak, the artist of
1992 manhua “Black Mask,” and Taiwanese artists
61Chi and Amin Lee, to name a few. While you’re
there, catch outdoor screenings of an assortment
of six animated shorts created by internationally
acclaimed illustrators and animators. Through Aug
31. Comix Home Base, 7 Mallory St., Wan Chai,
2824-5303.
Carlos Cruz Diez: Circumstance and
Ambiguity of Colour
On at the HKU Museum and Art Gallery this
summer is an exhibition by light artist Carlos Cruz-
Diez, who has been named in the same breath
as masters of color such as Seurat, Cezanne,
and Frank Stella. But Cruz-Diez goes further than
the others, by moving away from lines to place a
greater emphasis on color. Cruz-Diez plays with
color itself; no canvas, just air and light. This is a
rare chance to experience one of his immersive
light installations in Hong Kong, so don’t miss
out. Through Aug 17. University Museum and Art
Gallery, Hong Kong University, 94 Bonham Rd.,
Pok Fu Lam, 2241-5500.
