BOLOHOPE

EVENT DESCRIPTION

Hanart TZ Gallery is pleased to present experimental Guangzhou art collective BOLOHO, and their latest project BOLOHOPE, as featured in documenta 15.

In this iteration opening in March 2023, BOLOHO will transform Hanart’s gallery space into a Hong Kong-style cafe (cha chaan teng 茶餐廳), with an environment built from collectively produced paintings, texts, sewing, installation, and even a series of mini-sitcoms.

In its bright and cleverly managed chaos, BOLOHOPE reflects the cultural imagination of this generation of Guangzhou youth, which is interwoven with the memory of Hong Kong media and urban culture of the 2000s—the result of an early open policy between China and Hong Kong which privileged Guangdong before the opening of the rest of China.
