WHAT

A group exhibition celebrating the history of printing traditions of 1960’s and 1970s Hong Kong, the show features the works of seven artists. Largely replaced by digital print processes from the 1990’s onwards, old-fashioned letter press and offset printing shops now provide a rich source of nostalgia and inspiration for Hong Kong rooted artists, for whom their sounds, smells and fittings are part of early childhood memories.

WHY

Inspired by a rich chapter in the history of Hong Kong, works in this multi-themed show stretch across audio, painting, printmaking, fabric and even fiction writing, and is a collection of highly personal stories and memories. Not only are several of the artists art school graduates, showing for the first time at the gallery, but they are also mostly female, which makes visiting this show even more worthwhile.
