Tang Contemporary Art is delighted to announce Hong Kong artist Chow Chun Fai’s solo exhibition “Map of Amnesia,” which will be held at the the Central HQueen’s space from 13 Sep to 15 Oct. Encompassing works that perpetuate the artist’s practice of portraying Hong Kong’s memories and cinematography, presented are historic locations like the Mahjong House at Portland Street, Man Mo Temple, the Hong Kong Museum of Art, Mido Café, and Lin Heung Tea House. Meanwhile, cinema classics like As Tears Go By 旺角卡門, A Moment of Romance 天若有情, Comrades: Almost a Love Story 甜蜜蜜, City War 義膽紅唇, Infernal Affairs 無間道, and The Lucky Guy 行運 一條龍 are also featured in the exhibition.
Created specifically for this exhibition, Chow’s latest canvas paintings are based on his photography done over the last 20 years when wandering around the city streets of Hong Kong. From there, Chow echoed his paintings with how Hong Kong films would depict particular scenes at particular times, evoking a sense of nostalgia for the collective memory in a romantic urbanity of the past, breaking the framework of time and expressing the artist's thoughts and feelings about these locations over the past several to tens of years.
This exhibition will also feature a large-scale six-panel work titled "Chicken and Duck Talk 1988 at Tai Po Man Mo Temple”. The unique aspect of the artist's collage work is that each panel has an independent figure within it, which also reflects the artist's persistence in the work. The 14 brand new works on display capture many disappearing locations, overlapping impressions that are familiar to Hong Kongers and even tourists, in order to evoke the audience's resonance and collective memories of the city. Each work contains countless details, from the fading neon lights, window grilles, and scaffolding, to every brick and tile, all of which are worth savoring.
In one of Chow’s latest works 1988 City War at the Carpark of Star Ferry Pier, we see the two protagonists Chow Yun-fat and Tik Lung confronting each other on the top storey of the carpark at Star Ferry Pier. The Bank of China Tower, which was still under construction at the time, could be seen in the background. It is the significance these two structures – the Star Ferry Pier and the Bank of China Tower – possess that intrigues Chow, of which both are indispensable to Hong Kong’s collective memory.

The tickets are too expensive. There&#39;s no special discount for this so-called summer ticket! I don&#39;t understand why the price is divided by date. There are actually four price tiers. It&#39;s outrageous!

This is a great place to take children, with fun for all ages! We recommend visiting the giant pandas in the morning, as the staff say they&#39;re more active during this time! There&#39;s an uphill section and a downhill section. We took the cable car up, enjoying the beautiful sea views, and the train down, which was a quick ride. The downhill section is more suitable for younger children, as the rides up there are more exciting. The marine animal show is truly unique! You can see dolphins, sea lions, walruses, penguins, sharks, and more marine life in their natural state. The animal shows are complemented by entertaining human performances, which teach us about protecting the marine environment and animals through entertaining skits. The staff are also very friendly and welcoming. Whether in the game area or the ride area, the staff carefully explain the rules and help you choose the right method of consumption. It&#39;s very user-friendly!
