Bedazzled By Art Experiences Along Hong Kong's Victoria Harbour This Spring
KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 19 (Bernama) -- Hong Kong is gearing up to host an array of creative experiences this spring, from a mesmerising new teamLab installation to much-anticipated annual events like Art Basel Hong Kong, offering visitors the opportunity to be immersed in art on the banks of Victoria Harbour.
According to Hong Kong Tourism Board (HKTB) in a statement, visitors can kick-start their adventure with teamLab’s groundbreaking “Continuous” installation on Central Harbourfront.
Part of the Leisure and Cultural Services Department (LCSD)’s Art@Harbour 2024 and held from March 25 to June 2, hundreds of glowing egg-shaped structures come alive with ever-changing colours and sounds, responding to visitors' interactions.
Visitors can proceed to admire digital art facades illuminating the Tsim Sha Tsui promenade, and continue to spend the evening at WestK FunFest (March 16 to April 7), where an award-winning, large-scale immersive art installation features a world of giant, vibrant inflatable “bubble-tecture”.
Pop culture enthusiasts should not miss ComplexCon Hong Kong (March 22 to 24), which also takes place in the city, in which the expertly curated festival features the world's most influential brands and artists, creating an unforgettable experience that blends fashion, sneakers, art, food, music and inspiration, among others.
It will be making its international debut at AsiaWorld Expo, just minutes away from Hong Kong International Airport.
A cornerstone of the art season, Art Basel Hong Kong requires no introduction. Taking place at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (March 28 to 30), the prestigious art fair will return with over 240 world-class galleries and 16 large-scale installations.
Returning to Central Harbourfront after a four-year hiatus, Art Central (March 27 to 31) will once again showcase boundary-pushing contemporary art from the region’s most forward-thinking galleries, as well as a new sector, “Neo”, devoted to first-time exhibitors.
In West Kowloon Cultural District, one of the harbour’s coolest districts, see masterpieces from London’s National Gallery at the Hong Kong Palace Museum’s “Botticelli to Van Gogh” exhibition through April 11, then pop over to M+ for the impressive “Noir & Blanc” exhibition on black-and-white photography opening on March 16.
Meanwhile, Arts in Hong Kong Harbour Tour, arranged by the HKTB, will offer front-row seats to the artistic wonders along the sea.
