Xu Bing's Square Word Calligraphy, Sarah Sze@Gagosian & in the studio: Horn player Felix Klieser

2025-04-23
A visual artist who likes to break down barriers in communication: Xu Bing is known for incorporating words and characters into his art to explore the role of language and text in human life. The Hong Kong Museum of Art is currently featuring a hybrid calligraphic project that he’s been working on for over three decades.

Sarah Sze likes to use create her large-scale installations using ordinary and found objects. Even her paintings are layered with collages made up of different elements.
A professor of visual arts at Columbia University, she recently received a Meraki Artist Award from the Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston. Sze’s first solo exhibition in Asia, at the Gagosian gallery, features recent works, including seven mixed-media paintings and eight hanging sculptures.

Growing up in Göttingen, a small city in the middle of Germany, Felix Kieser chose to play the horn at the age of five. Born without arms, he’s kept up his determination to master the instrument despite the challenges along the way. Today, he's received several music awards, a two-year residency with the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra, debuted at the BBC Proms two years ago, published a book, and released albums. His stories of life behind the scenes as an artist with his horn “Alex” have also developed a considerable following on social media. He was in Hong Kong on 7th April to perform a one-night concert of Mozart and Strauss horn concertos with the City Chamber Orchestra of Hong Kong. We spoke to him.
