KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 13 (Bernama) -- Hong Kong is set to showcase a new series of arts and culture experiences this autumn to attract visitors to the city.

From Nov 17 to mid-December, 2022, the First Initiative Foundation will hold a large-scale public art exhibition, “TICK TOCK, TICK TOCK”, next to the iconic Tsim Sha Tsui clock tower.

The exhibition will feature renowned American artist WhIsBe's largest art piece to date, a giant red sculpture standing over eight metres high. A smaller teal sculpture, standing 2.5 metres high, will also be featured nearby beside the iconic Hong Kong harbour front.

The city will also play host to an immersive media art exhibition, ARTE Museum at K11 Atelier King’s Road, a 15-month special temporary edition of ARTE Museum’s first-ever overseas location.

Bringing together six media artworks under the theme “Eternal Nature”, the exhibition will move permanently to 11 SKIES in late-2023 to early-2024, with more works added to the collection.

Meanwhile, M+ will hold the “Yayoi Kusama: 1945 to Now” exhibition from Nov 12, 2022 – May 14, 2023.

The exhibition will be Kusama’s largest retrospective in Asia outside Japan, featuring over 200 works from major collections from museums and private collections from Asia, Europe and the United States, the M+ Collection and the artist’s own collection.

Additionally, from Oct 27, 2022, to Jan 15, 2023, the Cultural Plaza at the West Kowloon Cultural District will hold the 360-degree sound and light show, “En Voyage with Claude Monet”, the first-ever immersive experience of the French artist in Hong Kong.

Curated by the Belgian creative studio Dirty Monitor and local art tech organiser ChillHoYeah, visitors will have the chance to view approximately 200 of Monet’s masterpieces.
