Hong Kong’s Hanart T Z Gallery
In the realm of the boutique hotel, Hong Kong competes with finesse, grace, and a remarkable austerity. These extremely individual and exquisite hotels display a sense of intensely manipulated style, the result of which is a profoundly comfortable and striking atmosphere. Guests here find themselves living in another world, one ruled by calm luxury and rejuvenation for the body and the spirit. World travelers and business guests alike will find their stay here to be one marked by genuine hospitality. In Hong Kong, style and design are necessities to speak to a contemporary world, and here the hotels reflect this sense of balance.
The hotels are nestled in a city that is a fantastic blend of cultures and layers of history. As time and events pass through the cityscape, moments move across the waters, sometimes fast and furious, and sometimes softly, but persistent. Change is marked by the seasons and also by the artists. One of the small galleries here, the Hanart T Z Gallery , is like a watchdog on the banks of Honk Kong’s history. Although the space itself is very small, and ownership has kept it small and humble, its presence and influence on the art world at large is rather profound.
This gallery has been open since 1983, and has always been committed to showing what many artists and critics would call experimental art in China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong. Hanart T Z Gallery is careful not to place labels on itself, and its self-presentation is remarkably refined. There is a much deeper story, however. It has organized shows at the Singapore Art Museum, and the Place Vendome in Paris, but it was probably the landmark China’s New Art Post-1989 show that really put this gallery on the map. Since then, it has shown a remarkable number of artists, such as Qiu Shihua , among many others, all of whom are collectively redefining an avant-garde that is distinctively Chinese.
