Central, Hong Kong: H Queen's |Felix Gonzalez-Torres: Somewhere better than this place / Nowhere better than this place

Description

David Zwirner is pleased to announce Somewhere better than this place / Nowhere better than this place, Felix Gonzalez-Torres’s (1957–1996) first solo exhibition in Hong Kong. Featuring examples from key bodies of work by the artist, this presentation will also extend beyond the gallery into the city, and will seek to draw out the deep resonances between Gonzalez-Torres’s practice and the city’s complex urban fabric, historical trajectory, and evolving national identity. Hong Kong—a place shaped by histories of passage and transformation—mirrors many of the dualities the artist explored throughout his life, such as belonging and estrangement, the particular and the universal, the individual and the collective, and the fixed and the fleeting.
