Project Koon Man Space@Chuen Lung, Lee Jin Woo@White Cube & in the studio: pianist Hui Ling

2024-06-26
For dedicated hikers, the Chuen Lung Family Walk is a nice warm-up exercise. For families out for a casual stroll, it’s a nice easy trail with a nearby tea house that serves dim sum. Tsuen Wan’s nearby Chuen Lung Tsuen, that’s “dragon stream village” in English, is a 500-year-old Hakka village. Now there’s a new reason to visit, particularly if you’re a photography lover.

Currently on show at White Cube Hong Kong is the work of Korean artist Lee Jin Woo, whose practice is rooted in traditional Korean aesthetics and in the Dansaekhwa movement. The movement was founded in South Korea in the 1950s by a group of artists mostly born between 1930 and 1940.
Rejecting realism, they emphasised modernist abstraction and formalism, focusing on monochrome and the two-dimensional nature of the canvas and using repetitive patterns and gestures.

Born into a musical family, pianist Hui Ling started playing young, when she was just three years old. c
She received her musical training at the secondary school of the Central Conservatory Music in Beijing before furthering her studies at the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts and the San Francisco Conservatory of Music. Since she returned to Hong Kong in 1994 she’s been a soloist and a music educator. She’s with us now to tell us a little about her upcoming piano recital at the Hong Kong City Hall.
