Unbox M+｜Unboxing the Ha Bik Chuen Archive

Ha Bik Chuen (1925–2009) lived an unconventional artistic life. He was a self-taught artist who primarily created figurative sculptures using found objects. He also practised a unique relief printing style featuring both abstract and natural forms. An avid documenter, Ha amassed a vast archive chronicling Hong Kong’s art scene, incorporating materials that included exhibition ephemera, photographic and artwork documentation, visual research materials, periodicals, reference books, personal records, and modified books from the 1960s until the 2000s. Ha meticulously stored, cut, arranged, rearranged, and collaged collected materials in his ‘thinking studio’ in To Kwa Wan, the top floor of a walk-up building where he had previously run his handicrafts business. After Ha’s passing in 2009, this trove of materials became a time capsule offering rare insight into Ha’s singular practice and Hong Kong’s cultural evolution. Curator Vennes Cheng and archivist CM Yip unbox part of the Ha Bik Chuen Archive housed at M+, which includes modified books, photographic contact sheets, and research materials and ephemera that shed light on Ha Bik Chuen’s working and collecting process and the social context of art in late 20th century Hong Kong. #HaBikChuen #Archives #HongKong #Artist #Art #Unboxing #UnboxMPlus English, Traditional Chinese, and Simplified Chinese closed captions are available in the player.
