We are delighted to launch Knotting Space, a cycle-based curatorial platform in Hong Kong, the first cycle will debut on 23 March to 18 April 2026 at 7/F H Queen’s in Central. Through curated pairings across a diverse scale of practices, each cycle turns the space into a meeting ground for collectors, galleries, institutions, and non-profit organisations.
“Across the cultural landscape, infrastructures are shifting, and more collective ways of working are becoming essential,” says Jims Lam. “Knotting Space responds to this moment by offering a stable, professional platform for collaboration that can move quickly, stay focused, and build continuity.”
Knotting Space is conceived as a long-term project that bridges the commercial and charitable projects — a model where audiences are exposed to a wider discourse in the local art ecosystem from emerging to established voices. The debut exhibition Knot I: The Drawing Room and HUA International presents Soft Reality, Hard Dreams will be launched by Director and Curator of Knotting Space, Jims Lam, an independent curator based in Hong Kong who also serves as the curator of the 2026 edition of Pavilion Hong Kong at H Queen’s. With Knotting Space, Lam develops the programmes through deliberate pairings that connect cross-cultural perspectives and cross-regional geographies. He brings together exhibitors with distinct yet compatible approaches, so new readings can emerge through proximity.
The inauguration cycle of a total of four cycles in 2026, KNOT I: The Drawing Room and HUA International titled Soft Reality, Hard Dreams, brings together new and latest works by Vivian Caccuri (b.1986, Brazil), Jinbin Chen (b.1994, China), Mark Justiniani (b.1966, the Philippines), Matina Partosa (b.2000, the Philippines), and Shi Yi (b.1993, China).
