Au Hoi Lam graduated from The Chinese University of Hong Kong (MFA 2004, MPhil in Philosophy 2009 ). She has been creating art since the early 2000s, focusing on drawing and painting. She also likes exploring text art and installation art.
Her work is gentle and calm, using the language of painting to express profound but subtle ideas and emotions, embodying the delicate relationship between the individual and the lifeworld. She devotes herself to introspective thoughts and craftsmanship: capturing the ephemerals; exploring the relationships between text, time and space; contemplating the ways artwork exists; practising memento, reminiscence and forgetting. Depending on the subject matter, her works sometimes have unforeseen leaps in appearance, revealing undercurrents of paradox.
Au has been awarded the Alexandre Yersin Excellence Scholarship (Consulate General of France, 2001), Hong Kong Arts Development Awards – Award for Young Artist (Visual Arts) (Hong Kong Arts Development Council, 2013) and New York Fellowship (Asian Cultural Council, 2019). Her works are collected by the Hong Kong Museum of Art, M+, University of Cambridge and private collections. Participated exhibitions included Au Hoi Lam: Painting, Its Reasons to Be (Hanart TZ Gallery 2024), The Dimensions of Living: A House is (JCCAC Gallery, Hong Kong 2021), Au Hoi Lam: My Father is Over the Ocean (Osage Gallery, Hong Kong, 2013) etc.
Navigating through the texts and different materials, sometimes fictional and sometimes historical, Ho Sin Tung encounters failures and sorrows in various human condition that generates a sense of stinging within, eventually what haunted her and could not be named are transformed in her works in the process of retelling, rewriting, adding and deleting, and inserting footnotes. Her multi-disciplinary practices includes drawings, installations, videos and writings. Ho is also the founder of the space “Good Night” which adopts sports as a framework for alternative cross-medium cultural practices. The space is committed to building stronger individuals and communities.
Sing Jantzen Tse’s artworks focus on the topics of language and conversation, sound and visuals of daily objects and city landscapes. His artworks express the inseparable and entangled relationships between people, individuals and cities, the soul and time. Interested in multimedia practices, he applies different materials and audio-visual moving images to his creations. In 2012, his experimental sound performance language, toured various theatrical performance programmes in Hong Kong, Shanghai, and Taipei. Between 2011 to 2015, he was invited as a resident artist touring Africa, India, and the United Kingdom. In 2017, he and his friends founded the art group “Dabinlo Lab”, which focuses on video projects, sound and music performance, and multimedia art production such as those in Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR). As a musician he is active in band shows and has composed and improvised music for multimedia theatre performances. He has also led sound and video workshops.
Recent solo installation work: Mass Transit railway (2024), Mass Transit railway express (2021), Virtual backyard of reality (2017), Street Language (2016) ; collective work : VR & AR interactive multimedia show Our Mountains & Seas 2049 (2022) A mind apart (2021), video installation Rhythms (2021), dance video Overmaster (2021).
Wong Winsome Dumalagan’s practice revolves around videography, images, and installations, often rooted in the cultural contexts she traverses. She delves into understanding places, roots, and mobility, exploring how everyday narratives of people, nature, and objects construct knowledge, through both planned and serendipitous encounters. With videos and images she captured or collected from those she encountered, she sculpts and layers visuals, and often incorporates discarded household items, inexpensive and sometimes flawed materials, to create temporary spaces that are continuously reconfigurable, probing the boundaries of representation in both imagery and material. She is a member of the Floating Projects Collective.
