The Sunata

Be prepared for a reflective media art journey in this new interactive show at K11. Inspired by Mozart’s The Sonata for Two Pianos in D major, K. 448, this giant immersive exhibition is curated by Keith Lam, an award-winning new media artist, alongside new media creative studio Dimension Plus. As you step into the K11 Piazza, you will find yourself lost in The Sunata Prelude: Rain, a fun and vibrant installation that’ll rinse you with a rainbow drizzle (don’t worry, you won’t actually get wet!). If you’re looking for a richer audio and visual impact, head over to the chi K11 art space for The Sunata Planet K448, where you’ll receive a wireless headset to fully isolate your senses from the outside world!

Think Like Leonardo da Vinci

Forget Santa, Leonardo da Vinci is coming to town this Christmas! From The Last Supper to Mona Lisa, browse through the digitalised authentic works of Da Vinci from the Leonardo Museum in Italy right here in Hong Kong. As well as digital replicas, there’ll also be a series of interactive booths where visitors will have the opportunity to learn more about the individual paintings themselves. While the exhibition is free (meaning you won’t need the Da Vinci code to get in and admire his timeless works of art), some of the activities may require reward points – head here for full details.

When: From Monday, 9 December 2019 to Sunday, 16 February 2020, 12pm to 9pm (last admission at 8:30pm)
Where: Central Atrium, G/F Olympian City 2, 18 Hoi Ting Road, West Kowloon, Hong Kong

Banksy: Genius or Vandal?

Following successful stops in Moscow, Madrid and Lisbon, the highly anticipated “Banksy: Genius or Vandal?” finally makes its way to Hong Kong. As is customary when it comes to the infamous street artist, this exhibition is not authorised by Banksy, who prefers to protect his anonymity and independence from the system instead. As such, the 70 original works, installations, photographs and sculptures on show have been taken from private art collections across the world. We have a feeling this one will sell out pretty quickly, so make sure to get your tickets now!

Time: Until Sunday, 1 March 2020, 11am to 7pm (booking essential)
Where: Portal 6311, 1/F, FTLife Tower, Sheung Yuet Road, Kowloon Bay, Hong Kong
Contact: [email protected], tickets.banksyexhibitionhk.com
How much: Standard tickets start at $180 (weekdays) and $210 (weekend and public holidays)
