Wong Chuk Hang
Shimon Kamada: Phantom('s) Presence
PODIUM presents Phantom('s) Presence — the first solo exhibition by Rotterdam-based Japanese artist Shimon Kamada, and his first at the gallery. Drawn from childhood and teenage photo albums back home in Japan, the new works stage memory as something that floats, overlaps, and refuses to sit still: hometown streets, domestic interiors, landscapes, and dream logic held together by warped light and a quiet, uneasy shadow. The title works both ways. Memory hangs around like a ghost that never quite leaves the room; it also nods to phantom limb — the strange sense that what is gone can still feel present. Kamada leans into that instability. Partway through the run, some pieces will be rearranged and remade, so the show itself keeps shifting while you are looking. Exhibition details: Dates: 13 June – 29 August 2026 Hours: Tuesday – Saturday, 11:00 AM – 7:00 PM (closed Sundays, Mondays, and public holidays) Venue: PODIUM Gallery, Unit 9D, E Tat Factory Building, 4 Heung Yip Road, Wong Chuk Hang A slow afternoon in Wong Chuk Hang for anyone who likes painting that feels half-remembered — and half still happening.

Hong Kong Mountain Monster Exhibition
Discover the mythical creatures lurking in Hong Kong's peaks! 🏔️👹 Artist Choi King Hong is bringing his acclaimed "Hong Kong Mountain Monster" series back home after a successful exhibition in Tokyo, Japan in 2025. This decade-long artistic journey comes full circle with a reimagined showcase at AMAZ by Lokianno in Causeway Bay. For this special Hong Kong exhibition, the artist has completely redesigned all the mountain monsters, breathing new life into these fantastical beings. In a creative fusion of tradition and imagination, he transforms Hong Kong's four most challenging hiking trails — known in the local hiking community as the "four major exam routes" — into brand new monster characters. Each creature is brought to life through a unique blend of traditional Chinese ink painting techniques, creating a distinctive artistic style that bridges heritage and contemporary art. 🎨 Exhibition Highlights: • Reimagined mountain monster artworks from the complete series • New monster designs inspired by Hong Kong's legendary hiking trails • Fusion of traditional ink wash painting with modern creative expression • A decade of artistic evolution on display 🦍 Bonus Exhibition: Running concurrently at the same venue is the accompanying exhibition "Monkey Mountain Serial Robbery Case" — a collaborative showcase featuring modified soft vinyl toy artworks by various artists. This playful exhibition runs alongside the main show, adding another dimension to the creative celebration. Whether you're a hiking enthusiast, art lover, or collector of unique creative works, this exhibition offers a fresh perspective on Hong Kong's natural landscape through the lens of mythology and imagination. 📅 Dates: July 11 – August 12, 2026 ⏰ Hours: 12:00 PM – 9:00 PM daily 📍 AMAZ by Lokianno (Causeway Bay), G/F & Basement, 2-4 Kingston Street, Fashion Walk

"Good Afternoon, Good Evening, Good Night." — Tobe KAN Solo Exhibition
Safety Valve Gallery presents Tobe KAN's solo exhibition, "Good Afternoon, Good Evening, Good Night.", featuring a series of new and recent works by the artist. The exhibition title borrows the recurring line from the 1998 film The Truman Show — extending from the film's artificial constructed space into questions of how the everyday is repeated, how our sense of time becomes disrupted, and the structures and frameworks that quietly shape our imagination of home, nature, and identity — both physically and psychologically. Through painting and found objects, the exhibition unfolds along two parallel creative threads: one rooted in the artist's observations of plants encountered across Europe and Hong Kong; the other, more intimate and close to daily life — a series of domestic still lifes. Together, these works invite viewers to pause and reconsider the familiar — the routines we inhabit, the spaces we call home, and the quiet ways in which the world around us is always, subtly, being staged. Date: 6 June – 1 August 2026, 12:00 PM – 6:00 PM (Tuesday to Saturday) Venue: Safety Valve Gallery 3-F, Tai Sang Industrial Building, 25 Hing Wo Street, Tin Wan, Aberdeen, Hong Kong

Meet Mona Lisa: Portraying the Renaissance
Step into the world of Leonardo da Vinci's most celebrated masterpiece at this groundbreaking exhibition combining immersive multimedia experiences with priceless Renaissance treasures. The Hong Kong Heritage Museum partners with Le French May Arts Festival to present an extraordinary journey through time, exploring the enigmatic story behind the Mona Lisa's mysterious smile that has captivated the world for over five centuries. This remarkable exhibition unfolds across two complementary sections. The first, 'Meet Mona Lisa,' transforms the viewing experience through six immersive chapters where the portrait herself narrates her extraordinary tale—from da Vinci's commissioned work that remained unfinished until his death, to her evolution into a global cultural icon. Visitors will encounter panoramic projections, interactive multimedia installations demonstrating da Vinci's painting techniques, engaging games, and immersive photographic scenes that bring the artwork to life through synchronized light, sound, and imagery. The second section, 'Portraying the Renaissance,' showcases precious artifacts borrowed from prestigious French and Italian cultural institutions, including four exceptionally rare manuscripts by Leonardo da Vinci himself. Through paintings, prints, sculptures, decorative arts, and everyday objects, the exhibition reveals how this powerful humanist movement permeated every aspect of daily life during the Renaissance period. The exhibition also features a fascinating cross-temporal dialogue, displaying three selected pieces from the Hong Kong Heritage Museum's collection alongside works by contemporary Chinese artist Xu Lei, demonstrating the enduring influence of this 14th-century European cultural revolution. As a highlight program of the 2026 Le French May Arts Festival, the exhibition will be accompanied by a series of specialized lectures offering deeper insights into the captivating allure of the Mona Lisa and Renaissance art. This free admission exhibition welcomes all visitors, though those under 18 are advised to be accompanied by adults due to some artworks containing nudity. The collaborative effort brings together the Louvre Museum, Grand Palais Immersive, National Museum of the Renaissance, Ambrosiana Art Gallery, and other renowned institutions to create this unprecedented cultural experience in Hong Kong.

Hong Kong's iconic cha chaan teng (tea restaurants) have been woven into the daily fabric of local life for generations. The design elements associated with these establishments have evolved into significant symbols of local culture, gaining widespread popularity both locally and internationally through retro-inspired designs and cultural products in recent years. Yet this widely recognized cultural symbol remains simultaneously familiar and foreign to Hong Kong people—familiar because cha chaan teng dining and spaces have become internalized as part of Hong Kong identity, yet foreign because this very closeness often causes us to overlook the extensive cultural context that shapes it. AIRSIDE GATE33 Art Space, dedicated to cultivating local culture, breaks from traditional group exhibition frameworks this 'Art March' by inviting architectural historian and architect Charles Lai (UK) and product designer and community engagement planner Kay Chan Wan Ki to present this exhibition through a 'research-based curation' approach. The exhibition brings together cross-disciplinary creators including architects, product designers, graphic designers, woodworking artisans, academic researchers, filmmakers, and chefs. Using 'design' as the core entry point, it comprehensively deconstructs the 'cha chaan teng' through multi-sensory experiences involving sight, sound, touch, and smell. Through methods of 'recreation' and 're-creation,' research findings are transformed into rich and diverse exhibition content across seven zones, mapping out the unique position of 'cha chaan teng' in Hong Kong's popular culture. Staying true to GATE33 Art Space's emphasis on interactive experiences, the exhibition features two major immersive experiences. Visitors can personally 'answer phone orders,' decoding the unique 'order-taking' codes exclusive to Hong Kong tea restaurants. You can also don a waiter's uniform and experience the 1:1 scale 'beverage station' workflow, preparing the globally renowned 'lightning-fast meals' while understanding the efficiency secrets behind them. Admission fee: HK$20 (from April 1st onwards)
