Faan1jik6 Zi1gaan1 (In Between Translations) at Square Street Gallery


  • Hong Kong Hong Kong (map)

Square Street Gallery presents Faan1jik6 Zi1gaan1 (In Between Translations), a group exhibition with CHAN Melody, YAN Wai Yin Winnie and YIP Kai Chun.

Faan1jik6 Zi1gaan1(In Between Translations)* presents artists working with language in a translational process. They explore how the transmission of information can fluctuate between being an exposing or obscuring act.

CHAN Melody, YAN Wai Yin Winnie and YIP Kai Chun, are three artists looking at what escapes clear and straightforward communication, favouring simultaneous interpretations instead. We are met with multiple forms of language converging and transforming, resulting in works reflecting on history, legitimacy, personal heritage and memory. Through installations and videos, Chan, Yan, and Yip reveal language to be a contentious site with as much potential for gain as it does for loss.

Curated by VABRE CHAU Amandine.

Opening reception: 29th January 6-8pm

Gallery address: 21 Square St, Sheung Wan
