Three Hong Kong Exhibitions: Alex Prager, Michaël Borremans, and Leung Chi Wo
Alex Prager presents new photographs at Lehmann Maupin in Hong Kong through 17 March, featuring elaborately staged scenes with retro outfits and cinematic quality reminiscent of Cindy Sherman, using cropping, scaling, and layering for dramatic effect. Michaël Borremans inaugurates David Zwirner's new Hong Kong space with 'Fire from the Sun' from 27 January to 10 March, showcasing seductive yet anxious paintings of toddlers and obscure machines against minimal backdrops. Leung Chi Wo's solo exhibition at Blindspot Gallery runs from 23 January to 10 March, combining video, photography, and installations based on the 1967 leftist riots in Hong Kong, incorporating archival research and personal history to question memory and power systems. David Zwirner recently announced plans for a larger New York gallery, while Borremans' work features lone figures in mysterious activities, and Leung co-founded the artist-run space Para Site in Hong Kong.
