So I Don’T Really Know Sometimes If It’s Because of Culture: Mixed Media Exhibition By Leung Chi Wo
Visual Arts
Description
Description
The exhibition, titled after a 4 channel-video work commissioned for Marrakech Biennale 2012, brings together four recent installations; Sign(2008, Australia), Depot of Disappearance (2009, Austria), Sign Read(2011, Singapore) and So I don’t really know sometimes if it’s because of culture (2012, Morocco). Given that each work was conceived either for an overseas exhibition or during an international residency, the affect of foreign languages, cultures and societies are keys factors in the resultant work and their final interpretation. In each instance, due to the status of the artist as visitor, he was able to view issues familiar to the local audience as unusual, or even alien, resulting in original and often poetic interpretations of the local culture and, in instances, their differences.
This exhibition is part of CityU Cultural Festival to celebrate the University’s 30th anniversary.
