ADVOCACY ART EXHIBITION

ART CAR

Curated in collaboration with Green Art Asia, Art Car invited audiences to reimagine mobility as a vehicle for imagination, transformation, and dialogue. By transforming an everyday automobile into a canvas, the exhibition turned a familiar object into something extraordinary—challenging us to reconsider the symbols of modern life and how they shape our collective future.

At the heart of this edition was the vision of renowned Chinese ink artist Nan Qi, celebrated for his innovative “dot ink” technique. Each dot, meticulously rendered, carried both weight and possibility—echoing the idea that small actions can ripple outward to create profound change. Applied across the surface of the Art Car, these dots transformed the vehicle into a constellation of possibilities, reminding us that progress is rarely a single leap forward, but rather a gathering of moments, choices, and voices that accumulate into impact.

Displayed within the exhibition, the Art Car became more than an object of beauty. It stood as a living metaphor for positive change: every dot a step toward dialogue, every pattern a symbol of connection, every presence a reminder that transformation happens when imagination is set in motion.

EXHIBITION CONTRIBUTIONS

  • Worked with artists across installation, sculpture, photography, and object-based practices to embed works into domestic spaces, addressing ecological and social challenges of urban living.

  • Developed distinct editions of Art Home:

    • Art Car — transforming a vehicle into a mobile gallery that brought art into Hong Kong’s streets, featuring works by artists including Nan Qi.

    • Art & Wine — in collaboration with Pont des Arts, pairing limited-edition wines with works by Zao Wou-Ki to explore art, taste, and memory.
