Imagination of Space


Space for Lease
Artist: Kum Chi-keung
Material: Bird Cages and Plastic figures
Size: 2.5 x 2.5 x 33ft
Year: 2008

I visited the Hong Kong Arts Center on last Sunday, initially, I was planning to see if there had a new exhibition, but unfortunately, there was no new introduction.


After a while, when I wanted to leave, discovered there had a "Big bird cage" installation displayed at the top of the lobby, the creator was the Hong Kong artist, Kum Chi-keung.

In fact, it was not the first time to see his work. In my memory, he always used the "birdcage" ideas. It seemed he always used similar elements, but from the changes of locations, size and installation methods, every works also revealed very different creativity.

Such as the above installation, each audience also can develop their own imaginations... In order to carry out this work, the artists used the existence of the "mirror" in space, so as to attract each visitor to make dialogue with him.
