Hong Kong’s answer to the Tate
As an expat living in Hong Kong, it is very easy to get trapped in the Central bubble and not leave the 100m radius around Goccia. But this weekend, we were determined to venture into the depths of Kowloon and check out the newly opened Jockey Club Creative Arts Center.
Billed as Hong Kong’s answer to London’s Tate Modern, the centre occupies a remodeled 1970s factory in Shek Kip Mei. Hong Kong being the most capitalist place on Earth, however, the place resembles Oxo Tower more than it does the Tate. Everything is for sale.
Most of the 110,000 square feet of the space are filled with tacky crap, but the building is spectacular and there are a few exceptions. Like the Kwok Wah Laundromat photo series. Ninjas are always cool. Check it out at unit L2-13. If you need directions call Subha Hari.
