The first illustrated art historical study of Hong Kong, Hong Kong Art: A Curator's History (1987 -2004) focuses on a two-decade period beginning in the mid-1980s. Featuring 200 artworks and art historical images, this book lifts the veil on an underexplored world of artistic activities in Hong Kong s recent past. Author Oscar Ho Hing-kay looks back on a series of groundbreaking exhibitions from the 1980s and 1990s, recalling a scene at once innovative and anarchic. Centering around key events in Hong Kong, Ho punctuates this narrative with vivid, poignant anecdotes about the challenges he and others in the field faced in pushing the boundaries of art and preserving the city s precious art history. This volume a collaborative effort with Asia Art Archive, one of the most valuable and growing collections of art historical materials in Asia builds on the AAA s research collections and extensive networks to bring attention to the city s diverse creative community and vibrant cultural life.
Oscar Ho Hing-kay was curatorial director of the Hong Kong Arts Centre (1988 2001), founding director of the Museum of Contemporary Art in Shanghai (2004 2005), and a member of the West Kowloon Cultural District s Museum Advisory Group, which was responsible for the original curatorial concept of Hong Kong visual cultural space M+. Ho s writings have appeared in Artforum, ArtAsiaPacific, Orientations, Newsweek, and many Hong Kong news publications. He has served on Asia Art Archive s board of directors since 2001.
