gdm Hong Kong is delighted to present Crossing, a group exhibition curated by independent curator Chris Wan. Featuring new works by nine artists—Au Wah Yan, Sushan Chan, Lilin, Law Yuk Mui, Sharon Lee, Joseph Leung, Andrew Luk, Ivy Ma, and Michelle Tam—the exhibition explores the emotional intersections of Hong Kong’s history through diverse perspectives, highlighting the deep connections between individuals and their times.
Building on the curator’s research into Chinese diasporic experiences, Crossing captures a moment in Hong Kong’s present. History’s ripples unfold within everyday life, as people’s displacement, connections, and separations mirror the uncertainty of crossing uncharted waters. This challenging journey also holds immense potential for self-creation and renewal.
The participating artists, from Hong Kong and beyond, respond to pivotal moments in their personal lives through their work, reflecting on the pressing question: “How do we navigate this turbulent time?” The artworks blend imaginative and conceptual ideas with sincere and direct expressions, delineating a heartfelt letter to the city of Hong Kong.
The exhibition is accompanied by workshops, talks, and guided tours that invite audiences to connect with the artists and the curator, exploring the stories and themes behind the works.
