Leung Chi Wo, Rokeby, Bloomsbury, London

What/Why:

ROKEBY is delighted to announce the first solo exhibition in London by Chinese artist Leung Chi Wo. Leung Chi Wo is one of Hong Kong’s leading contemporary artists of a generation influenced by the territory’s post-1997 identity and politics.

Leung Chi Wo’s multi-disciplinary practice ranges from photography and video to text, performance and installation; he is concerned with the undetermined relationship between conception, perception and understanding, especially in relation to site and history, within cultural and political frameworks. Leung’s new wide-ranging body of work has taken over two years to complete and continues his reflective practice, which combines historical exploration with conceptual inquiry within a contemporary urban landscape.

Consisting of photographic installations, lightboxes, print and sculpture the new body of work takes as its starting point, repaired bullet holes found in the Legislative Council Building.
