This summer, Tai Kwun’s Laundry Steps will be transformed into a riotous electrified streetscape crowned by a gawdy tiara of authentic and original Hong Kong neon signs, rescued, restored and conserved and now returned to full public view. Meanwhile, in the Block 01 Duplex Studio, the ingenious imagination and creative problem-solving of Hong Kong’s legendary neon masters will be explored with exquisite traditional and contemporary examples which stretched and twisted the physical limits of the glass-blowers art with the beguiling magic of the snake-charmer.
Vital Signs celebrates the skill, craftsmanship, audacity, competitiveness, precision, and can-do mindset of the neon masters – qualities which are at the heart of Hong Kong’s true character and remain in the DNA of its citizens, as essential as a pulse.
