WHAT
At its outdoor space, the museum presents two local Hong Kong artists as they reimagine the harbour through two sets of large-scale public art installations. Harnessing their different practices, both approach the project using different mediums and with different outcomes, with Chan using mosaic tiles, wood, steel, and fibreglass; and Tsoi using stainless steel, terrazzo, and EPDM. Despite the vastly-different presentation of works, the works ultimately complement each other and highlight the beauty of Victoria Harbour.

WHY
Victoria Harbour is one of Hong Kong’s most recognisable sights, and the installation pays homage to its iconic waterfront. The two installations allow both artists to go in their desired directions while attaining the same objective. Chan invites audiences (literally) into his fantasy swimming pool, showcasing a surreal and nostalgic shared swimming space with detailed tiling; Tsoi references Victoria Harbour more directly, framing the iconic silhouette of the harbour in his works.
