《GHOSTLY, GODLY/人間》opens in Hong Kong on March 21, supported by the Octone Foundation.
Contemporary art’s engagements with Modernity and Hauntology continue to provoke essential reflections on history and reality. This curatorial experiment explores their untapped possibilities within specific East Asian contexts. Set in Hong Kong—where Buddhism and Daoism thrive alongside deeply lived folk beliefs that shape not only spiritual life but also social, cultural, and political realities—the exhibition highlights the intangible yet constant presence of the ghostly and the divine in everyday human–world relations. The English title GHOSTLY, GODLY captures this spectral dimension, while the Chinese title 人間 (Human Realm, Ningenkai) evokes the unresolved, bittersweet present of Buddhist cosmology, where joy and suffering coexist and call for ongoing practice.
Curated by Chris Wan, the show presents newly commissioned works, existing pieces, archives, and documents by artists Simon Liu, Cici Wu, Tang Kwok-hin, Ha Bik Chuen, and On Kino. Fully supported by the Octone Foundation, this project fosters experimental curating and artistic creation outside conventional institutional frameworks.

當代藝術所涉及的「現代性」與「幽靈學」,開啟了歷史與現實關係的重要討論。但我們期待在東亞具體場域中進一步挖掘其潛能,這促成了本次策展實驗的發生。香港作為我們關注的現場,佛教與道教依然充滿活力,真實的民間信仰深入生活各個層面——不僅在靈性層次,更在社會、文化、政治的多重維度上,持續影響人與世界的關係。這種無形卻無所不在的狀態,正是展覽英文標題《GHOSTLY, GODLY》所強調的核心。展覽中文標題《人間》則從另一層面突出你我與這個進行中、尚未決斷的當下的緊密聯繫——如同佛教六道輪迴中「人間界」的苦樂參半,亦蘊含某種修行的必要。
本展覽由萬豐策展,展出新委託作品、舊作、檔案及資料,參展藝術家包括Simon Liu、武雨濛、鄧國騫、夏碧泉,以及論電影院等。該項目由拾壹基金會全力支持,旨在鼓勵在既有藝術機構系統之外進行的實驗性策展與創作嘗試。
