The humble laundry lines that once crisscrossed Hong Kong's neighbourhoods will weave a new story at "The Future Vintage Store" exhibition on view at JPS Gallery. Marking the third collaboration between Hong Kong artist Peep and local fashion brand HER, this showcase embraces the city's signature 'organised chaos' where yesterday's Hong Kong meets tomorrow's fashion. By reimagining the city's cultural touchstones, the exhibition creates an immersive environment that invites visitors to explore the evolving identity of this dynamic city.
This exhibition represents a natural evolution in Peep's collaborative journey with HER, reflecting their shared commitment to celebrating Hong Kong culture. Through 'The Future Vintage Store,' Peep deepens this connection by creating a uniquely Hong Kong dialogue between eras, aesthetics, and experiences. Drawing from her own upbringing in 1990s Hong Kong, Peep infuses this nostalgic showcase with treasured memories from her idyllic childhood. Visitors are invited on a journey of rediscovery, where they gain fresh perspectives on their own early years through thoughtfully curated antiques delicately enhanced with contemporary brushwork, creating a harmonious bridge between Hong Kong's rich cultural heritage and its dynamic present.
Opening reception: 7 August, 5-6pm
Gallery address: G/F, 88-90 Staunton Street, Central
