What are the possibilities of text in an exhibition space? In addition to providing information, might they offer interpretive opportunities?

Acclaimed Hong Kong writer Hon Lai Chu presents her unique response to the exhibition Sight Unseen – Forking Paths in the CHAT Collection  by pairing exhibits with texts that she has encountered in her daily life. The themes she explores include time and space, survival and resistance, as well as everyday artmaking. Hon brings in wide-ranging works including local writer Xixi’s recent works and Herman Hesse’s Siddartha.

Viewpoints on View invites esteemed individuals from outside of contemporary art to provide their perspectives, interpretations and responses to artworks and practices on view. The cross-disciplinary conversations aim to enhance accessibility by relating and contextualising exhibition content to the public.
