Not-for-profit arts organisation HART will present the first exhibition resulting from its arts programming. Household Gods will open to the public on 30 September to 21 November 2020, both virtually and physically at HART Hall. Curated by Ying Kwok, the exhibition will present the works of four Hong Kong based artists; Nadim Abbas, Shane Aspegren, Tap Chan, and Wu Jiaru, who are grant-based artists participating in the ongoing sixth session of the HART Social Studio. Showcasing specially commissioned works that encompass painting, sculpture, site specific installation and sound work, the exhibition originates from a desire to offer new insights into our complicated and currently uncertain world, addressing questions about the relationships between mankind in its most intimate setting, the household, and natural and supernatural phenomenon. Created and presented during a time of change, Household Gods rethinks how art and creativity empower each of us, both in content and form. The multi-layered and evolving creation process of Household Gods is being documented in a digital journal that illustrates key questions raised between curator and artists, and which encourages local and international audiences to further explore these themes. In the lead up to and during the exhibition, a series of conversations featuring the curator and artists will be live-streamed from HART Haus, offering behind-the-scenes access and insights.
