Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: To the asleep in 1997 Comment: If you have been asleep or ignorant of what happened to Hong Kong in 1997 and you want to see the expression of the transition of the 'handover', then pick this book. The book begins with the paintings of Luis Chan very reminiscent of the 'see if you can find the nine faces hidden in the figure' followed by sculpture by Antonio Mak in whose works you can see 'verbal associations'. This binding of words with works is prominent in art from the places known from calligraphy like China and Arabia. The next chapter deals with display of feelings of the people through the temporary 'The Wishing Star' . Many artists expressed the onset of uncertainity in different formats - video, installation. Public Art is well described. The rise of installation art in the Art Space exhibition is studied too. More Reviews
