Oil Street Art Space new exhibition reinvents Mount Luofu and embarks on journey of Woyou across mountains and waters through contemporary visual approach (with photos)
******************************************************************************************
     The Oil Street Art Space (Oi!) is launching the "Archaic Curator Series - Reinventing Luofu" exhibition tomorrow (November 11). Oi! has invited Assistant Professor in the Department of History at Hong Kong Baptist University, Dr Chen Fong-fong, to serve as the guest curator. Taking Mount Luofu - long celebrated as the "Foremost Mountain of Lingnan" - as its theme, the exhibition features three local artists to showcase new artworks including a painting, calligraphy, and interactive digital installations, which guide viewers on a spiritual journey that transcends time and space.

     The artists have reinterpreted varied facets and the cultural significance of Mount Luofu through a contemporary visual approach. Chui Pui-chee combines calligraphy of the "Scripture of Constant Purity and Stillness" with dynamic projections, creating a contemplative space for self-cultivation. Sam Cheng's triptych screen "In Between" unfolds a vision of layered blue-green mountains with a lake-like installation, inviting viewers to momentarily withdraw from the distractions of everyday life. Henry Lam's immersive interactive installation "Aperture to the Ethereal" guides audiences on a virtual pilgrimage, allowing them to experience the ceaseless transformations of the natural world through shifting digital landscapes. The artworks in this exhibition cover traditional media and digital imagery, drawing audiences into a journey of Woyou across mountains and waters with an immersive landscape space to experience the charm of brush and ink and to find a sense of tranquillity.

     Oi! launched the "Archaic Curator Series" in 2022, inviting Chinese art historians and curators to collaborate on exhibitions that engage with traditional Chinese art through innovative forms of expression, bridging the old and the new. The "Reinventing Luofu" exhibition is the fourth in the "Archaic Curator Series".

     The exhibition is presented by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department and organised by Oi!. It runs from November 11 onwards at Oi! Glassie, Oi!, 12 Oil Street, North Point. Admission is free.
