Six large inflatable works – from a roast suckling pig to a pile of poo – have taken over the West Kowloon Cultural District (WKDC) park
(which covers 17 hectares of landscaped space) on Hong Kong’s waterfront, transforming the site into a (con)temporary sculpture park,
as part of an exhibition curated by M+, the new museum for visual culture at the WKDC.
“Mobile M+: infalation” features pieces by international artists Cao Fei (China); Choi Jeong Hwa (South Korea); Jeremy Deller (UK); Jiakun Architects / Liu Jiakun (China); Paul Mccarthy (USA); and Tam Wai Ping (Hong Kong); accompanied by a performance piece by Tomás Saraceno (Argentina), all of which raise questions about the nature of public art and how audiences can engage with it on a number of different levels.
