Trace the making of Fermata: Hong Kong in Venice through complete artwork reveals and installation photography

The article details the making of 'Fermata: Hong Kong in Venice,' a collateral event at the 61st Venice Biennale curated by the Hong Kong Museum of Art (HKMoA). The exhibition features two Hong Kong-based artists—established media artist Ng and emerging artist Angel Hui—whose works explore the poetic rhythms of everyday life in Hong Kong, engaging with the Biennale's theme 'In Minor Keys' by Koyo Kouoh. The selection process involved nominations from local tertiary institutions and professional art organizations, with over 200 artists considered before Ng and Hui were chosen.

Meet the artists representing Hong Kong and Macao at the Venice Biennale

Hong Kong artists Angel Hui and Kingsley Ng, along with Macao artists Eric Fok Hoi Seng, Veronica Lei Fong Ieng, and O Chi Wai, will represent the Greater Bay Area at the 61st Venice Biennale, running from 9 May to 22 November 2026. Hong Kong's exhibition, titled 'Fermata: Hong Kong in Venice,' marks a shift from a solo to a duo format for the first time, co-organized and curated by the Hong Kong Museum of Art (HKMoA). Hui presents installations featuring embroidered plastic bags and aluminum window grilles inspired by local Hong Kong motifs, while Ng creates site-specific works referencing hanging laundry. Macao's showcase, 'Jacone's Polyphony,' features the three Macao artists. The biennale, curated by the late Koyo Kouoh, is themed 'In Minor Keys' and includes 110 artists, 100 national participations, and 31 collateral events.
