With Opera Gallery Hong Kong being one of our favourite curated <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/hong-kong\/art-galleries-in-hong-kong\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">art galleries in Hong Kong<\/a>, we sat down with the director Sharlane Foo to chat about the creative landscape here and how to cultivate art to engage local audiences.<\/p>\n<h2>An interview with Sharlane Foo<\/h2>\n<h3>Hi, Sharlane. Thanks for sitting down with us. So, you\u2019re an art curator and art gallery director. How did you first get involved in this field?<\/h3>\n<p>I started many years ago. I was a Liberal Arts student and I attended a program in South East Asian Art History. My first job was at a private museum in Singapore for Linda Ma and from there, I moved on to her commercial gallery Linda Gallery. Two years ago, I was headhunted to move to Hong Kong to help a French collector turn his hobby into a business. I got the opportunity to meet with the owner Gilles Dyan. I really believed in his vision and what he has planned for Opera Gallery, so I came on board.<\/p>\n<h3>Opera Gallery operates worldwide in 12 locations. How is the creative landscape here in Hong Kong different from other countries?<\/h3>\n<p>Hong Kong is the main arts hub in Asia, so it\u2019s definitely a lot more interesting in comparison to the rest. Most of the auction houses and a lot of the international galleries are here. And this year in particular, some of the international galleries will have their first Asian branch right here in Hong Kong.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_150338\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-150338\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-150338 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2018\/03\/Sharlane-Foo-Opera-Gallery-Hong-Kong-interview-floor.jpg\" alt=\"Sharlane Foo Opera Gallery Hong Kong interview floor\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2018\/03\/Sharlane-Foo-Opera-Gallery-Hong-Kong-interview-floor.jpg 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2018\/03\/Sharlane-Foo-Opera-Gallery-Hong-Kong-interview-floor.jpg 300w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2018\/03\/Sharlane-Foo-Opera-Gallery-Hong-Kong-interview-floor.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/600;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-150338\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Opera Gallery Hong Kong focuses mainly on European modern masters<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>Who are the frequent visitors of Opera Gallery? Are there any specific groups?<\/h3>\n<p>These days we see a lot more younger people coming through. It might seem quite intimidating before, but now we actually have a lot more younger artists and we also create a lot of programmes trying to engage the younger emerging collectors. We have very different collector types, I\u2019d almost describe it as a generational thing, say the parents looking at the modern masters while the youngers check out the contemporary ones.<\/p>\n<h3>Do you think Hong Kong people respond differently to art compared to other countries that you have been involved in?<\/h3>\n<p>I think a lot of the people we see are very sophisticated and very well-travelled, so they\u2019re used to the concept of just being around art, just having art as a part of their lives. I won\u2019t say they respond differently, but it comes very naturally to them.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_150340\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-150340\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-150340 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2018\/03\/Sharlane-Foo-Opera-Gallery-Hong-Kong-interview-dark-room.jpg\" alt=\"Sharlane Foo Opera Gallery Hong Kong interview dark room\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2018\/03\/Sharlane-Foo-Opera-Gallery-Hong-Kong-interview-dark-room.jpg 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2018\/03\/Sharlane-Foo-Opera-Gallery-Hong-Kong-interview-dark-room.jpg 300w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2018\/03\/Sharlane-Foo-Opera-Gallery-Hong-Kong-interview-dark-room.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/600;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-150340\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Every Opera Gallery around the world has a black room and in it are all modern masters<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>When you are curating your art space, what do you typically think of? Is there a certain feeling that you have or a theme that is in your mind that you stick to?<\/h3>\n<p>It depends on the artworks. For the upcoming exhibition with the three Korean artists, we have a lot of sculptures with different materials, like bike materials being put in human forms. I think it\u2019s more about working within the space for story building. I can see how I can engage the public by where I place the work. It\u2019s like I need to tell a story and I would lay them out in a way. I would say the most successful curation is when someone enters the gallery and comes to their own understanding.<\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.operagallery.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Opera Gallery<\/a>, 52 Wyndham Street, Central, Hong Kong, p. 2810 1208, \u9999\u6e2f\u4e2d\u74b0\u96f2\u54b8\u885752\u865fW Place\u5730\u4e0b\ufe633\u6a13<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lovers of the arts!
