It surveys how artists reconsidered…

WHAT The exhibition is the NY-based Chinese-Canadian artist's first Hong Kong solo show.

The Empress Dowager Cixi is a lingering presence, woven into…

WHAT The late American abstract and representational artist (1928–1999) was known for her artistic practice as a painter and photographer.
