Art Connects

In conjunction with the exhibition Howie Tsui: Retainers of Anarchy—organized and circulated by the Vancouver Art Gallery (2017) and recently on view as a touring exhibition at the John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art in Florida prior to their closure—artist Howie Tsui and Diana Freundl, Interim Chief Curator / Associate Director, will reveal, for the first time, the artistic and curatorial decisions reached to commission a twenty-five-metre, hand-drawn animation that threads together the social and political realities of past and present-day Hong Kong.

Following Diana and Howie’s conversation, Howie will provide a tour of his backyard nursery and introduce his flora and fauna, in particular the development of his Bonsai trees-in-training. Shaping and styling Bonsai trees is a recent passion of Howie’s, one that he has been able to devote more time to while sheltering at home as a way of realigning himself with the current pace of life. Howie will also demonstrate the process of wiring and shaping a Bonsai specimen.
