HONG KONG DIMENSIONS X Blue Lotus Gallery
Blue Lotus Gallery is proud to present a new and fascinating group exhibition showcasing the incredible work of award winning French and Hong Kong Artists, curated by Blue Lotus Gallery and selected for the official program of Le French May 2018. Hong Kong Dimensions will take you on a deeper and unique journey through the iconic city in terms of space, time, the ultra real, the imagined, and the point where they intersect.
This exhibition explores Hong Kong in all its dimensions from above and under, its back alleys, its every day moments in old neighbourhoods, and its collision with nature. Driven by curiosity or a desire for preserving its cultural heritage, each artist expresses his personal testimonial of their beloved city in their own special way from descriptive to fantastical and whimsical. Breaking through the photograph Hong Kong Dimensions brings you work that plays with layers in space and time, where still life comes to life, where the real looks fake and the manipulated looks natural. Having its corner stone in photography, artists final form varies in distinctive ways from 2D, expanding to 3D work, hand drawings and even moving collages resulting in unique pieces that reveal talent beyond photography. Most of the works that will be shown are unique pieces, ranging from the the extreme handmade to the hyper digital.
+++ workshops, artist talks, book launch and tours are scheduled during the duration of the exhibition

HONG KONG CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT | FAMOUS BUILDINGS IN HONG KONG
#centralhongkong #hongkong #discoverhongkong
Welcome to Hong Kong's Central Business District, where we show you the most famous buildings in Hong Kong. The Hong Kong skyline is probably the most famous in the world, with its iconic buildings, each with different features, and designed by feng shui masters to attract wealth and prosperity for the country.
Each one is a different shape, colour, and even angled differently. Some 1200 international multinational companies are based in Hong Kong, and Central also hosts the biggest international banks. including HSBC, Citibank, Standard Chartered, Bank of America, JP Morgan, Morgan Stanley, and many more.
Central being the CBD of Hong Kong is also where many doctors and lawyers are located, as well as the legislative council, final court of appeal. Cheung Kong is definitely one of the most famous iconic buildings, owned by Li Ka Shing.
'Central (also Central District; Chinese: 中環) is the central business district of Hong Kong. It is located in Central and Western District, on the north shore of Hong Kong Island, across Victoria Harbour from Tsim Sha Tsui, the southernmost point of Kowloon Peninsula. The area was the heart of Victoria City, although that name is rarely used today.
As the central business district of Hong Kong, it is the area where many multinational financial services corporations have their headquarters. Consulates general and consulates of many countries are also located in this area, as is Government Hill, the site of the government headquarters. The area, with its proximity to Victoria Harbour, has served as the centre of trade and financial activities from the earliest days of the British colonial era in 1841, and continues to flourish and serve as the place of administration after the transfer of sovereignty to China in 1997.
Central is located on the north shore of Hong Kong Island, across Victoria Harbour from Tsim Sha Tsui, the southernmost point of Kowloon Peninsula. It is bordered in the west by Sheung Wan, with the border being along Aberdeen Street (also called Wing Kut Street). It is bordered in the east by Admiralty, an eastern extension of the central business district. As such, Admiralty is sometimes considered a part of Central. Central is bordered in the south by Mid-levels, an area halfway up Victoria Peak. The boundary between Central and Mid-levels is not clearly defined.
For district council elections purposes, the area, together with Admiralty, correspond roughly to the Chung Wan constituency.[2] The boundaries of such constituencies may be subject to modification.[3]

Watch Shopping at flea market and antique shops in Hong Kong
Hollywood Road is the centre of the art and antiques trade in Hong Kong, a winding thoroughfare lined with dozens of shops selling all manner of bits and pieces from the oriental past, from period furniture to Mao memorabilia. Start your walk at Possession Street where the British Royal Navy landed in 1841 to claim Hong Kong Island in the name of Queen Victoria.
Along Hollywood Road you will pass dozens of antiques shops filled with furniture, ceramics and objets d’art. When it’s time for refreshments to review your finds, there are plenty of options in SoHo (from South of Hollywood Road, though it now extends either side). A detour left down Aberdeen Street will lead to a kind of monument, the Lin Heung, one of the best traditional tea and dim sum houses, and on Hollywood Road itself is Vietnamese Song.
You can also rummage for relics and old photos of Hong Kong at the Low Price Second Hand Shop, an open-fronted bric-a-brac shop on the corner of Lyndhurst Terrace, or find an ironic take on Hong Kong culture at GOD (Goods of Desire), across the road. The Mid-Levels Escalator crosses Hollywood Road here and heads up Shelley Street. Bacar is a good place to stop off for food.
Art galleries and antiques shops start giving way to boutiques and restaurants on the remaining part of Hollywood Road. The imposing buildings across the street are the former Central Police Station and Victoria Prison. The earliest of these monuments to colonial law and order were built in 1864, and new buildings were added over 60 years. Now declared ‘monuments of Hong Kong’, their future use is under discussion. Climb steep Old Bailey Street to take in the view of the former prison.

-----------------------------
My name is Dennis. In 2009, I opened this channel to record or document this city. I know something is being changed in next decade(s), or I felt the change have began since 2003, no later in 2046. I want to, at least, save some kind of city life in video form instead of taken photo or written in words. I strongly believe that motion picture and sound recording are much better way to preserve and present in the future when young generation want to get know of Hong Kong.
In May of 2018, I wrote the following statement in below:
.....................................................................................
Hi everyone, thank you for supporting me in fulfilling my childhood dream of making videos.
My parents had always taken a tolerant attitude toward my “capricious”: whether my work is feasible and sustainable... and they never complained about it.
As my father just passed away in May, I am left with no choice but to give up my video making venture.
In Hong Kong where the cost of living is sky high, youtube video making is simply not sustainable by google adsense alone. The revenue produced is way too insufficient for affording a domestic helper, and I must look after my mom all by myself - this is why I must stay very close to her at all times.
Unless my revenue is closed to market rate, or my income can cover a domestic helper, otherwise I can hardly justify any video-related works.
Therefore, from now on everything video will be postponed in terms of year(s).
Thank you, and hope to see you all again in the future.
..............................................................
Because I am the only son of my mother in Hong Kong, and I have to take care of her at home. I almost give up this channel because of high consumption of time and living cost. But I found some extra time.
I live in Fanling, north part of New Territories, so it will include my showtime of traveling back and forth. Because of home care to my old mother, there will be no time other than 9:00 to 16:00 because my mother is staying at the senior daycare center, so before and after that, I will NOT able to do filming.
I understand most of you are looking for high quality of video, e.g. 4K or 8K. But hardware is so important at this post-production, that is, the higher quality video, the higher powerful computer to render video. In recently, I solved matter by paid for PowerDirector apps to make 4K on my Pocophone F1, 1 hour of 4K video = 2 hour to make, besides, the convert 4K file time is around 24 hours......
I will continue to run this channel as long as the time is fit-on-me or I don't see any kind of video job could fit me.
I hope this is clear to everyone.

Aurèle's opening exhibition in Hong Kong | 5-05-14 | 1881 Heritage | Le French May | Avenue des Arts
The No other future but the future -- Aurèle Exhibition is held at 1881 Heritage from 1 May to 31 August, 2014 by Avenue des Arts Gallery, Consulate General of France in Hong Kong and Macau, and sponsored by 1881 Heritage,
located in Tsim Sha Tsui. It will showcase sculptures of two giant dogs by Aurèle Ricard aka Aurèle, one of the foremost post-industrial plastician artists in the world.
The eye-catching exhibits of this exhibition: LostDog CO2 and the yellow LostDog illustrate Aurèle's creative purpose of raising awareness and inspire people to live a better life. In cooperation with the French May 2014, Aurèle uses a living wall to create a giant dog sculpture measuring 3.8M (13ft.) high. He works with the theme of sustainable development and new environmental technologies used in urban areas, resulting in the creation of a giant dog sculpture covered with a selection of air-filtering plants (LostDog Co2). This canine bio-filter will be made of a dense jungle of ferns, ivy and other vines that have the ability to neutralize harmful chemicals in polluted air-perfect for any city. Such green sculptures purify at the same time as they serve as a prototype for a new generation of art that is aesthetic and that truly works to beautify the environment around it.
The yellow LostDog is the first character of Aurèle's LostDog creation series in mid 80s. Measures 2.9M high, it will share the positive message of caring and love together with LostDog CO2. It's a metaphoric image of our own lives lost among pollution, epidemics, wars...This LostDog is you, it's me, it's the next generation. And with my work I would like to raise awareness to give our children a better future, said Aurèle. His work does not cease to spread and include every conscience that it touches in its progression.
The exhibition area at 1881 Heritage bring the visitors a relaxing environment by creating an atmosphere of formal French garden, inspired by the garden of the Château de Versailles and parisian parks as Parc Monceau and Jardin des Tuileries.
In addition to the exhibition at 1881 Heritage, a selection of Aurele's works is on display at Avenue des Arts Gallery in Sheung Wan.

The Works：Social Fabric: Mariana Hahn & Kwan Sheung-chi, Art Basil, 2 street artists: Vhils & M. Cha
The popularity of the Hong Kong Film Award-winning film “Ten Years”, not only reflects widespread concerns about the SAR’s future, but also reflects the extent to which Hongkongers are examining their own sense of identity. At the Mill 6 Pop-up Space in Central until 21st of the month, one visiting artist from Germany and one home-grown artist each reflect on aspects of Hong Kong’s sense of self in their own ways.
This year’s Art Basel Hong Kong closed on a high note. A record-breaking 70,000 people visited the fair compared to 60,000 last year. It was also the first time in the fair’s four-year history that tickets sold out a day before the official closing. At the other end of the exhibition scale, away from the jam-packed Convention and Exhibition Centre, one group of local illustrators organised a somewhat more intimate affair, “Art Basil” at PMQ, which they proudly proclaimed the smallest art fair in the world.
New York, London, Bristol, Paris, Berlin, Hong Kong. The process of gentrification of poor areas follows a remarkably similar path in most parts of the world. First, attracted by low rents, artists and students move in. More middle-class shops and establishments that cater to them follow. Soon rents start to go up. And the “pioneers” who moved first into the areas start lamenting how the later arrivals are spoiling the neighbourhood. That process seems to be reflected in a recent controversy over an annual street art festival in Sham Shui Po, similar to many such festivals in many such neighbourhoods around the world, that was accused by some local commentators of being a top down initiative by outsiders. The organisers defended themselves and said they had previously consulted many local shopkeepers and residents. Certainly though, there is a case to be made that corporate interests are co-opting street art. As we speak, the war of words continues. One side argues that decorating the streets encourages greedy landlords. The other side argues that doing so brightens the environment of people who would otherwise be faced with interminable drabness. In the meantime, some of the best known of the world’s street artists, like Portugal’s Vhils and France’s Monsieur Chat – recently working in Hong Kong -continue to inject some colour, social commentary, and even wit, into our world.
