Questioning 'value': exhibition
An exhibition titled “Market Forces: Erasure: From Conceptualism to Abstraction” questions “value” as assigned or measured by the global art markets, and critically engages the increasingly pervasive conflation of aesthetic value with market price. This phenomenon has been exacerbated by the booming contemporary market’s general tendency to favour particular media, styles and “brands”.  The event is co-presented by CityU and Osage Art Foundation as part of CityU’s 30th anniversary celebratory events, and takes place from 16 May to 15 July.

Chinese paintings illustrating Hong Kong
In keeping with the University’s interest in promoting cultural heritage and art appreciation, the Chinese Civilisation Centre is showcasing the works of five well-known artists in Hong Kong: Mr Wucius Wong, Mr Wang Qiutong, Mr Wong Hau-kwei, Mr Shen Ping and Mr Hung Hoi. The title of the exhibition is “Scenery in Hong Kong. Love in Hong Kong”. An opening ceremony will be officiated by Ms Maria Mok Kar-wing, Curator of Hong Kong Museum of Art, Professor Cheng Pei-kai, Visiting Professor of the Chinese Civilisation Centre, and all the artists, on 6 June. The exhibition will be held from 7 June to 20 July at the Singing Waves Gallery.
