Hong Kong Artists Bring Quiet Reflection to Venice
“Fermata: Hong Kong in Venice,” a collateral event of the 61st Venice Biennale, presents works by Hong Kong-born artists Kingsley Ng and Angel Hui and runs through November 22, 2026. Organized by the Hong Kong Museum of Art (HKMoA), the exhibition aligns with the Biennale’s theme “In Minor Keys,” associated with late curator Koyo Kouoh, emphasizing quieter, reflective approaches over spectacle. HKMoA Director Dr. Maria Mok said the show connects Hong Kong and Venice through shared rhythms of daily life and invites viewers to slow down and observe. The exhibition is anchored by two works from each artist, with Ng known for site-specific experiential installations and Hui for blending traditional Chinese cultural elements with contemporary visual expression.
