Tang Contemporary Art is delighted to announce Hong Kong artist Chow Chun Fai’s solo exhibition “Map of Amnesia,” which will be held at the the Central HQueen’s space from 13 Sep to 15 Oct. Encompassing works that perpetuate the artist’s practice of portraying Hong Kong’s memories and cinematography, presented are historic locations like the Mahjong House at Portland Street, Man Mo Temple, the Hong Kong Museum of Art, Mido Café, and Lin Heung Tea House. Meanwhile, cinema classics like As Tears Go By 旺角卡門, A Moment of Romance 天若有情, Comrades: Almost a Love Story 甜蜜蜜, City War 義膽紅唇, Infernal Affairs 無間道, and The Lucky Guy 行運 一條龍 are also featured in the exhibition.
Created specifically for this exhibition, Chow’s latest canvas paintings are based on his photography done over the last 20 years when wandering around the city streets of Hong Kong. From there, Chow echoed his paintings with how Hong Kong films would depict particular scenes at particular times, evoking a sense of nostalgia for the collective memory in a romantic urbanity of the past, breaking the framework of time and expressing the artist's thoughts and feelings about these locations over the past several to tens of years.
This exhibition will also feature a large-scale six-panel work titled "Chicken and Duck Talk 1988 at Tai Po Man Mo Temple”. The unique aspect of the artist's collage work is that each panel has an independent figure within it, which also reflects the artist's persistence in the work. The 14 brand new works on display capture many disappearing locations, overlapping impressions that are familiar to Hong Kongers and even tourists, in order to evoke the audience's resonance and collective memories of the city. Each work contains countless details, from the fading neon lights, window grilles, and scaffolding, to every brick and tile, all of which are worth savoring.
In one of Chow’s latest works 1988 City War at the Carpark of Star Ferry Pier, we see the two protagonists Chow Yun-fat and Tik Lung confronting each other on the top storey of the carpark at Star Ferry Pier. The Bank of China Tower, which was still under construction at the time, could be seen in the background. It is the significance these two structures – the Star Ferry Pier and the Bank of China Tower – possess that intrigues Chow, of which both are indispensable to Hong Kong’s collective memory.

Environment: As soon as you come in, there is a dreamy atmosphere. If you shop around, it is also very convenient to pick and choose entertainment: although you have to queue up, the queue will end soon. You can play the project early. There are two bad points. 1. At around 5 pm, I also saw a doll photo. After buying it, I will send it. The queue for a photo is over. 2. The staff responsible for the doll photo can only speak English, and the communication is not smooth. In addition, when waiting for the fireworks, the staff will let everyone stand up half an hour in advance. The air is stuffy and airtight like a sauna. It is very uncomfortable. After watching the fireworks, the people are fast. Drenched.

The cable car 🚠 station in the summer vacation, there are many people, and I have learned about the red brick exclusive members. Trip.com It says that I can buy it with my own. I was afraid that the itinerary would not be changed the day before. I bought it at the cable car station. I bought it on the spot and tied it to the wax museum. More than 600 adults, don&#39;t brush it. The red bricks enjoyed the fast passage, although they also needed to queue up, we basically lined up a cable car up and down, very fragrant

It&rsquo;s worth a visit ～ Especially the special exhibition, it&rsquo;s really good-looking, the price is right, come early, or there are still a lot of people on weekends; from the top down, first look at the exhibition hall 9 on the first floor, and finally you can go to Wenchuang to buy some souvenirs
