Three artists have installed site-specific works at The Peninsula Hong Kong hotel as part of its annual Art in Resonance program, coinciding with Hong Kong Art Week. Angel Hui's 'Swimming in Light' features embroidered goldfish imagery on plastic bags and the hotel's glass frontage, Albert Yonathan Setyawan's 'Metamorphic Modulation' fills a circular structure with 700 ceramic elements, and William Lim's 'Walking on a Bright Future' is a textile and spatial intervention in the hotel's café.
These commissions demonstrate how luxury hospitality venues are becoming significant platforms for contemporary art, supporting artists in creating ambitious new work. The program, curated in collaboration with the Victoria and Albert Museum, blurs boundaries between craft and art, introduces moments of surprise into a commercial environment, and facilitates international cultural exchange, with one work slated to travel to London later this year.
