SUMMARY:Untitled by Kato Izumi
DESCRIPTION:Kato Izumi is a renowned painter based in both Tokyo and Hong Kong. Born and raised in a rural area in Shimane prefecture in Japan\, young Kato’s playground was always surrounded by rich nature. This experience from his childhood instilled in him the idea that humans are a part of nature. When he was invited by CHAT for the Spring Programme in 2020\, he made an installation of 5 figures with painted stone heads and bodies from living plants in collaboration with local farmers. Whilst the stones remain unchanged\, the living plants will continue to grow\, altering the shape of the figures’ bodies. This installation resulted in his rst art piece embracing the changes of nature. \nTo commemorate the collaboration between Kato\, CHAT and Hong Kong farmers\, this piece will be updated with different kinds of plants and will be kept as art for those who love both art and nature. \nThis work was made in collaboration with the artist\, CHAT and Hong Kong farmers. \nCollection of CHAT\, Hong Kong\nTechnical Support: Sustainable Ecological Ethical Development Foundation \n \n

SUMMARY:Makers of Hong Kong: In Conversation
DESCRIPTION:‘Made in Hong Kong’ is a distinguishing emblem of quality and history that has carried different meanings over the generations past. \nIn the ‘Makers of Hong Kong: In Conversation’ video series\, ‘makers’ of textiles from knotted fishnets to tailored saam fu are invited to share their making process\, practice and their thoughts on the continued importance of ‘Made in Hong Kong’. Topics of discussion will reflect on the displayed objects of Misfitted: Unspoken Stories of Tailoring and past displays at The D. H. Chen Foundation Gallery. \nMakers of Hong Kong: The Tailoring Story of Linda Lee \nLinda Lee served as the costume director of The City Contemporary Dance Company (CCDC) for over 30 years. Since each performance costume is unique and created based on the specific needs of the costume designers\, choreographers\, and dancers\, as the costume director\, she often had to navigate and mediate between the three parties to satisfy their diverse\, and sometimes conflicting\, requirements. \n \nMakers of Hong Kong: Story of Navy’s Tailor Tony Wong \nIn 1949\, Tony Wong’s father followed the large number of Shanghai tailors who moved south to Hong Kong\, and opened the Fu Shing tailoring label at Fenwick Pier\, where he served the U.S. sailors and officers to tailor their uniforms and suits \n \nMakers of Hong Kong: The Story of Former Garment Worker Wong To Yuen \nBy the late 1960s\, an abundance of technical schools were established and attended by factory workers seeking upward mobility and those who wanted to produce the latest Western fashion for themselves. Former garment worker Wong To Yuen studied at one of the technical schools back in the days. Her final coursework consisted of a casual outfit and a night gown\, which she not only designed and made but also modelled at the graduation show! \n \nMakers of Hong Kong: A Family’s Tailor \nIn this interview\, the Tsui sisters recount their childhood in 1950s and 60s Hong Kong\, when their amah doubled as a housemaid and an at-home family’s tailor\, creating everything from a child’s mini wadded jacket to a cheongsam belonging to a young lady. \n \nMakers of Hong Kong: Tracing Wax Prints \nWhat is Ankara fabric exactly? In this episode of ‘Makers of Hong Kong: In Conversation\,’ we have the pleasure of inviting fashion stylist Jaho Anita from Nigeria to provide insights into the fascinating world of Ankara fabric and its production process! \n \nMakers of Hong Kong: Knitting Shared Memories  \nIn this interview with veteran knitwear producer Miranda Wong (Founder\, Ms-Square) and emerging designer Phyllis Chan (Co-Founder\, YanYan Knits)\, the pair engage in a cross-generational dialogue on the development of the local knitwear industry since the 1980s with particular focus on market environment\, emergence of original designs and unique operation models. \n \nMakers of Hong Kong: Collecting Patterns \nJohn Wu (graphic designer and collector) shares on his appreciation of the patterned wrapping papers of department stores in Hong Kong. In the process\, he describes the development of local packaging design and reveals how patterns reflect Hong Kong’s divergent consumer culture. \n \nMakers of Hong Kong: From Brocades to Neckties \nChuk Sheung Yu (former silk weaver) and K. K. Tung (Founder\, Tung’s Computer Weaving Neckties Centre) share on their career development in the local silk industry. Their stories reveal how\, since the 1930s\, the industry has continuously adapted to market conditions to create unique textile designs and business models. \n \nMakers of Hong Kong: Tales of Tablecloths \nGuest host and senior textile industry advisor Albert Chan introduces various weaving techniques and speaks to Gigi Ng\, the 4th generation successor of Ser Wong Fun restaurant. In their conversation\, they share about the application of traditional weaving methods in everyday life\, and how the practice of using tablecloths in Chinese restaurants shapes our dining experience. \n \nMakers of Hong Kong: Finding a City’s Palate \nAnimation artist Lee Yuk Ki Florence created the colourful thematic illustrations for the ‘Textile for Food’ display. In this episode\, she shares her creative process by revisiting the locations where she captured the textures and details of her work\, and introduces to the audience the urban landscapes and objects that inspired her. \n \nMakers of Hong Kong: Thinking with Tying and Interlacing\n \nGuest Presenter Lee Chi Wing speaks with the owners of Cheung So Kee Wire Netting and Chu Kee Greengrocers. Through the conversations and demonstrations\, they share about the design logic behind interlacing with metal wires and tying with ‘salt water grass’\, and experiment with new shapes and functions. \n \nMakers of Hong Kong: Shaping with Cloth \nGuest Presenter Professor Siu Yan Ho speaks to Liu Chui Tong (Owner of Shun Hing Lung Kwai Kee Bean Products) and Fu Wing Cheung (Owner of Kwan Kee Store) to explore the history and use of textiles as tools for cooking.\n \nMakers of Hong Kong: Culinary Style \nLisa Fong (culinary show writer and presenter) shares on her collection of aprons\, exploring through them her experience in the television industry and her influence on the image of the modern housewife. \n \nMakers of Hong Kong: Changing School Uniforms\n \nPaul Lam and Peter Lam (Director and Managing Director of Kam Lun Tailors Limited) share on the conceptualisation\, production and marketing of school uniforms\, revealing the business’s unique position in between fashion and tailoring. \n \nMakers of Hong Kong: Patching Denim Culture \nPeter Wong and Ching Siu Wai (former Editor and Art Director of City Magazine) share their experience putting together the special denim issue of City Magazine in the 1990s. The two explore how denim has shaped the popular culture of Hong Kong\, as well as the important role that their editorial practice played throughout the conception of the issue. \n \nMakers of Hong Kong: Refashioning Chinese Garments \nSiu Lan of the brand Tailor Made by Siu Lan share her experience of being a tailor since she was 23 years old\, imbibing traditional Chinese patternmaking into modern\, one-of-a-kind yet everyday garments. \n \nMakers of Hong Kong: Knotting Fishing Nets \nSarah Yip and Rex Law of Eco Cheung Chau share their experiences conserving fishing traditions and other intangible heritages of Cheung Chau. \n \n

SUMMARY:‘Factory of Tomorrow’ Community Embroidery Curtains
DESCRIPTION:What is a ‘Factory of Tomorrow’ like in the eyes of primary school students? In CHAT Lounge\, a set of embroidered curtains takes inspiration from the new motto as CHAT celebrates its 5th anniversary in March 2024. \nOver the course of several months\, hundreds of primary school students from the ‘333 Learning Companion Leadership Program’ supported by We R Family Foundation learned about CHAT and its history to create drawings and paper models of a ‘Factory of Tomorrow’. Several works were then selected by a panel of judges and transformed into digitally embroidered designs by Tajima Embroidery Machines Limited\, resulting in this one-of-a-kind project that brings together art\, industry and community. \nTechnical Sponsor: Tajima Embroidery Machines Limited\nCommunity Partner: We R Family Foundation\nWith special thanks to Sudo Reiko and Ikko Yokoyama \n  \n

SUMMARY:Threading Inwards
DESCRIPTION:\nHow can we learn to nurture sensibility? How do we care for each other and bear sorrow together? How might we begin to heal ourselves and the world around us? In a time of rapid change\, this exhibition invites you to slow down\, engage with the work of 14 artists from across Asia\, and turn inwards. \nTextiles have always been inseparable from our spiritual life. They appear in rituals and ceremonies\, accompanying people through the cycles of life and death\, joy and sorrow\, parting and reunion. They also move with us every day\, gently connecting our inner world and the spaces we inhabit. Passed from generation to generation\, the acts of weaving\, dyeing and stitching form a tactile language of memory\, emotion\, belief and imagination – both personal and collective. \nHere\, we explore textiles as living pathways that intertwine into spiritual maps. They weave threads between people and place\, ancestors and ecologies\, the visible and the unseen\, softness and strength\, while opening up futures and possibilities of living\, relating\, and caring for the world. \nCurators: WANG Weiwei\, Eugene Hannah PARK\, KUROSAWA Seiha\, WANG Huan \n

SUMMARY:Artefacts of ‘Blue’
DESCRIPTION:This thematic display explores Indanthrene Blue\, the industrial dye iconically represented by ‘Miss Happiness’ in 1930s China. It is the world’s first synthetic vat dye and is known for exceptional vibrancy.

SUMMARY:Snuggle and Stitch: Childhood Textiles of Hong Kong
DESCRIPTION:In 1950s Hong Kong\, nearly one in every two people you’d meet was a teenager or child – swaddled in a baby sling\, dressed in home-sewn clothes\, or clutching a toy worn from love. While lacking the convenience of today’s screen-based world\, children grew up surrounded by textiles\, textures and playful peers just as creative. \nSnuggle and Stitch brings together local childhood textiles from the 1930s to the 2020s\, featuring heirloom garments\, ready-made fashion\, mass-produced toys\, artisanal dolls and hands-on activities. It invites you to revisit fading social values and to nurture human connection\, resourceful thinking and care for the materials we pass on. \n
