Closer Together

EVENT DESCRIPTION

To celebrate 25 years of partnership between the Hong Kong Art School and RMIT, the two institutions are proud to co-present a spectacular exhibition, Closer Together. This exhibition is a testament to relationships formed through collaboration and discussion despite situations of distance or isolation, featuring 15 artists from this community to honour the intimate connections and ground-breaking exchanges fostered in this partnership.

In the development of Closer Together, the co-curators of the exhibition – Rachel Cheung (Hong Kong Art School Lecturer and Program Coordinator), Shirky Chan (Hong Kong Art School Alumni Network Vice-Chair) and Tammy Wong Hulbert (Senior Lecturer & International Co-ordinator, RMIT University School of Art) – considered what constitutes intimacy and how this may be expressed through action and material form in the art-making process. The curators examined the ideas of “closeness” and “togetherness” and how intimate relations are formed over time.
