Within Connection by Carroll CW Tsang, Fringe Club
To Carroll CW Tsang, creating art is a journey inward. “Finding one’s own rhythm by painting on a canvas with a calligraphy brush, slowly and repetitively,” she explains. “It’s like the rhythm in music, calm and natural.” Her solo exhibition at the Fringe Club features a handcrafted structure of bamboo and gold lacquer with perforations that let light shine through, as well as ink paintings on rice paper. They speak to different facets of human experience, including resilience, protection, collective healing and emotional release.

I Remember I Fear I May Not Remember by Ma Yujiang, Wure Area
Artist and Poet Ma Yujiang holds onto love and memory with his solo art project I Remember I Fear I May Not Remember. Titled after a poem by the curator of this exhibition, Writer Chan Ning, the collection brings together three pivotal pieces from Ma’s oeuvre. Each piece is a testament to the artist’s “growth”, and together they allow for love to last. His seminal work, The Wedding Ring (Ring), tells the story of how the artist searched for the keys he lost on his first date with his now-wife, N, and found them under an almond tree after nine months. From the tree, he picked an almond pit and carved it into a ring for N, capturing the moment through action.

Marie de Villepin: Turn to Salt, Villepin
Marie de Villepin gives form to memory. Exhibited in a time when the world is fragmented—divided by war, wrecked by displacement, and threatened by ecological fragility, Marie resonates with the quiet resilience of the human spirit. She uses salt as a symbol for transformation, given its dual power to preserve and erode. Canvases unfold like an emotional landscape, with tones of pink, green, red, and blue settling or surfacing, evoking a memory held between movement and stillness. Myths and legends seep into the paintings, and looking back becomes an action of defiance as much as curiosity.
Where: 53-55 Hollywood Rd, Central
When: Until October 26, 2025

As M+ points out, “environments are artworks in which viewers play an active role, stimulated by objects, light, moving image, and sound as they move through and around the work.” This exhibition presents the works of trailblazing women artists, including Judy Chicago, Aleksandra Kasuba, and Chiharu Sihota, who have had an enduring impact on the history of visual art. The works will be presented as full-scale reproductions, reconstructing the original through research and collaboration with experts and the artists themselves. While originally conceived and produced by Haus der Kunst München in 2023, the M+ presentation will be modifying the selection of artworks by adding a selection of environments by Asian women artists.

At the centre of seminal Austrian painter Maria Lassnig’s decades-long oeuvre is a unique interest in the relation between awareness and the human body. At the late artist’s first solo exhibition in Hong Kong, Hauser & Wirth dives into her research on “Body Awareness”, which posits the human body as a subject of constant change, sometimes even into the mythological realm. On display at the exhibition are paintings related to figures and self-portraits, painted in pastel hues with broad brush strokes.
