Presented by THE SHOPHOUSE in collaboration with Douguya Hatcharea, a Japanese antique gallery based in Hong Kong, this exhibition brings together antique objects and contemporary artworks under a shared inquiry: how do things continue to live — and how should we value them?

The title gestures toward what often goes unrecognized: the unnamed makers, the unrecorded hands, and the quiet lives embedded in material form. It also speaks to a deliberate curatorial position. Too often, the value of an object is judged by who made it, who owns it, or who presents it. Authorship, reputation, and institutional framing frequently precede direct encounter. By naming this exhibition Unnamed, we intentionally suspend those hierarchies — inviting viewers to meet each work without relying on attribution as a primary measure of worth.

Gallery address: 4 Second Lane, Tai Hang
