CERTAINLY at GOLD by Serakai Studio


  • Hong Kong Hong Kong (map)

CERTAINLY takes inspiration from artist-composer La Monte Young’s seminal 1960 instructional work Composition 1960 #10, a score that consists of a single directive: “Draw a straight line and follow it.” What appears deceptively simple quickly reveals itself as more complicated — the line wavers, resists, and deviates, becoming a potent metaphor for creativity, decision-making, and the unpredictable forces that shape us.

In CERTAINLY, this conundrum becomes a catalyst for artistic experimentation, negotiating the space between control and freedom, planning and improvisation. The exhibition brings together a diverse group of artists whose practices respond, directly and obliquely, to this condition of uncertainty, embracing deviation as a generative force rather than a failure of control.

Participating artists include Tozer Pak Sheung Chuen (Hong Kong), Lousy (Hong Kong), Young-Hae Chang Heavy Industries (Korea/US), Santiago Sierra (Mexico), Shinro Ohtake (Japan), Peter Robinson (New Zealand), and Weng Io Wong (Macao), among others. Across different media and approaches, each artist reflects on the impossibility of perfect predictions — and the creative space that emerges when systems, structures, and expectations begin to fracture.
