The Hong Kong Museum of Art (HKMoA) and the Hong Kong Arts Development Council (HKADC) have selected artists Kingsley Ng Siu-king and Angel Hui Hoi-kiu to represent the city at the 61st Venice Biennale in 2026, marking the first time since 2007 that Hong Kong will not be represented by a solo artist.
This will be the 13th time that Hong Kong takes part in the international art exhibition, which opens to the public on May 9, 2026, and the first exhibition that the government-run HKMoA is handling with the government-appointed HKADC arts funding body.
According to the official press release, the Hong Kong exhibition will explore “the poetic rhythms of everyday life”, with the two artists’ distinct practices uncovering the “familiar yet fleeting moments” in Hong Kong in response to the biennale’s main theme, “In Minor Keys”.
