Pocket Art — Art Collectible Card Exhibition

About
Hong Kong's first art collectible card exhibition has arrived. "Pocket Art" is a group exhibition held at PMQ from 28 May to 21 June 2026, hosted by PMQ and curated by local artist armechan (亞米青). The show brings together nine local and international artists — including Lee Chi-tat (利志達), Rex Koo, Hui Yi-shuen (許以璇), Lam King-ting (林敬庭), and others — transforming over 50 original artworks into more than 150 collectible cards. Built upon the ACEO (Art Cards Editions & Originals) framework, the exhibition compresses gallery-scale works onto 2.5 × 3.5 inch cards. Curator armechan sees the card format as a medium in its own right — a small canvas that opens up experimental possibilities, turning original art into something portable, tactile, and collectible. The cards span five rarity tiers: Common (C), Rare (R), Super Rare (SR), Signature Rare (SGR), and the ultra-rare Original Rare (OR) — each OR being a one-of-a-kind hand-drawn artwork by the artist, with only 9 issued across the entire series. The exhibition is divided into three zones: a Gallery Area showcasing large-scale originals and authentic card pieces; a Card Display Area presenting the full graded set authenticated by Grading Eleven Authentication (GEA); and a Merchandise Area offering limited edition collectibles. The nine participating artists each bring a distinct creative lens — from woodblock prints and screen printing to painting and mixed media — reimagining everyday culture, identity, memory, and humour through the intimacy of a palm-sized canvas.
