Hong Kong Museum of Art's large-scale outdoor installation exhibition creates a playful space with a giant swimming pool and miniature Hong Kong landmarks

The Hong Kong Museum of Art’s latest exhibition, “Travel•Travel”, invites two Hong Kong artists to create two sets of large-scale outdoor installations, which will be exhibited in the Art Plaza in front of the museum, allowing the public to re-imagine the adjacent harbour. Chen Huili invited the audience to enter his imaginary world, creating a fantasy and playful public swimming pool scene with his work "Passing Dragonfly"; Cai Weiquan reduced the landmark buildings on both sides of the Victoria Harbour into the work "People Swimming in Harbour", bringing every landscape into the eyes of visitors. Chen Huili has always used swimming pools as the core of his creations. This time he created "Passing Dragonfly", bringing the art installation swimming pool to the Tsim Sha Tsui waterfront for "unboxing". Visitors can personally step into the giant swimming pool in front of the art gallery. Recalling his personal memories and experiences in swimming pools, Chen Huili endows the swimming pool with a unique aesthetic with an intriguing tone. Through the installation layout, sound, light and darkness, weather and the intervention of the audience, he depicts a constantly changing scene in this open space, composing scenes of encounter for strangers, making the empty and quiet layout full. The mosaic tiles on the pool walls shimmer throughout the day and night, while the overlapping sun loungers and occasional broadcasts evoke a more subtle atmosphere hidden in the public space. Artist and architect Cai Weiquan created six sets of art installation works with different forms, both dynamic and static, titled "People Traveling in Hong Kong." The work incorporates local architectural features and is inspired by the appearance and exterior wall design of landmark buildings on both sides of the Victoria Harbour. It transforms the Hong Kong Cultural Centre, Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre and the International Finance Centre into Hong Kong landmarks that are easily accessible, and transforms the Art Plaza in front of the Hong Kong Museum of Art into a public space for visitors to relax and have fun, allowing people to take a break from the hustle and bustle. The screens on the art installation frame detailed images of landmark buildings on both sides of the Victoria Harbour, presenting a contemporary architectural design aesthetic that is full of Hong Kong characteristics. The "Travel•Travel" outdoor installation exhibition is currently on display at the Art Plaza in front of the Hong Kong Museum of Art, 10 Salisbury Road, Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon, until March 24 next year. #goodplacetodischarge #discharge #goodplacesforfamily #holidayfamilytravel #localtravel #goodplacesinhongkong #goodplacesforweekdays #goodplacesforweekends #goodplaces #localfamilytravel #familytravel #parents #familyactivities #check-inattractions #check-in #hklifestyle #hkdaily #hkiger #hkig #hongkong #hk #instadaily #travelhk #discoverhk #explorehongkong #exploringhongkong #discoverhongkong #awesomehongkong
