Call up everyone you know – Young Soy Gallery's next group exhibition "RE: Urgent" will be a playful yet provocative show serving up a bold, thought-provoking concept right in the heart of Hong Kong’s bustling business district. Running from March 13 to April 6, 2025, and coinciding with Art Month in Hong Kong, this exhibition will unfold in a vacant office in Central.
The theme? It's time to confront the inequities, power structures, and absurd systems that shape our daily lives—all injected with a sharp dose of humor.
The exhibition's lineup features five local contemporary artists—Go Hung, Louie Jaubere, OBSRVR, Plastered 8, and Riya Chandiramani—each bringing a distinct lens to the so-called “contemporary moment.”
Go Hung explores systemic inequalities and amplifies overlooked narratives of the less privileged. Riya Chandiramani challenges patriarchal and capitalist norms, spotlighting women’s stories with an urgent call for change.
Meanwhile, Plastered 8 and OBSRVR expose cracks in our so-called ‘perfect’ systems by reveling in their inherent absurdities, and Louie Jaubere’s signature collages manipulate cultural icons and historical imagery, prompting us to rethink how power is constructed and consumed over time.
