THE SHOPHOUSE Explores the Power of Place in 'DØR TO DOOR'

Featuring works by artists-in-residence Chen Jinbin and Yu Shuk Pui Bobby.

Exhibitions

Ahead of their annual residency program, THE SHOPHOUSE has announced a duet exhibition by artists Jinbin Chen and Yu Shuk Pui Bobby. The two will come together to showcase a series of original on-site works following the open studio period.

Since its inauguration in 2021, the DOOR TO DOOR program has exercised art as a point of entry. Through an exchange of creative environments between Hong Kong and the UK, the program brings the role of place and space into full focus as each artist creates work that responds to their new surroundings.

This year’s special DØR TO DOOR program visualizes the cultural and knowledge exchange between Hong Kong and Oslo. In search of an in-betweenness, Chen romanticizes the gap between the ideal and the past in soft and fragmented figures. His work examines encounter and desire, capturing an iridescent collision between bodies.

Like Chen, Yu Shuk Pui Bobby’s work envisions new body politics. Like a science fiction story, the artist and filmmaker summons intimacy out of futuristic form. Her recent video work explores ideas of memory and identity as they bend and flex across cultural contexts.

The DØR TO DOOR exhibition will be on view from October 5 through 20 at THE SHOPHOUSE Hong Kong.
