Sigg Prize 2019 Tour｜A reflection on Liang Shuo’s work

Описание: As of April 2020, the M+ Pavilion is closed due to ongoing health measures. Inside, six shortlisted artists have their artworks on display as part of the Sigg Prize 2019 Exhibition. To bring the exhibition to you at home, M+ Sigg Senior Curator Pi Li gives a tour of each work from the empty galleries. In this video: Liang Shuo’s ‘In the Peak’. #MplusFromHome

In his site-specific work ‘In the Peak’ (2019), Liang used bamboo scaffolding to create an immersive structure on the terrace of the M+ Pavilion. Bamboo scaffolding is a recyclable construction material widely used in Hong Kong, forming a relationship with the city’s urban environment. Two small windows in the structure incorporate views of the distant Victoria Peak and the nearby M+ building under construction. This alludes to the technique of borrowed scenery in Chinese garden design. After entering from the green space of the West Kowloon Cultural District, visitors are led into the constructed landscape along an ascending spiral walkway. This experience is a transition from the crowd to Liang’s ‘dongtian’—a Taoist heavenly grotto.
