Detail: Since 2008, the Hong Kong Museum of Art
has organised the exhibition series
"Hong Kong Art: Open Dialogue" with the

of art in Hong Kong and providing a
diversified art experience. It includes
"Digit@logue" (curated by Ms Ellen Pau),
"New Ink Art: Innovation and Beyond"
(curated by Mrs Alice King), "Looking
for Antonio Mak" (curated by Ms Valerie
C. Doran) and "Charming Experience"
(curated by Ms Grace Cheng). "The Origin
of Dao: New Dimensions in Chinese
Contemporary Art," curated by Professor
Pi Daojian, will be the final one of the

Viewing the development of Chinese
contemporary art, the unique essence of
traditional Chinese art has been
incorporated into various new practices
which give voice to contemporary values
and spiritual pursuits. More than 30
Chinese artists from mainland China,
Taiwan, Hong Kong and overseas will be
exhibiting paintings, lacquerware,
ceramics, installations, video and
animation which represent the
transformation of artistic creation as
well as cultural reflection in Chinese
contemporary art.
A two-day international symposium will
also be held at Lecture Hall l with an
aim to thoroughly discuss the practice
and discourse of Chinese traditional art
medium in contemporary art.
