C&G Artpartment

C&G Artpartment C&G Artpartment is an art space run by Hong Kong artists in Sheffield, UK.

With a strong concern over the local art ecology, C&G use their art to respond to social and cultural issues. Their essential goal is to fill up the crack in the current art scene, and allow C&G Artpartment becomes an art space for idea exchanges. In the past 14 years, C&G Artpartment has curated more than 100 art exhibitions that included more than 100 local artists to respond to the social and c

ultural issues in Hong Kong. The practice of the Hong Kong-based artist group C&G (Clara and Gum) is humourous and challenging at the same time. The activities that C&G organise are often collective and participatory in nature, with a focus on issues surrounding the art ecology of Hong Kong as well as current events. C & G was invited to participate in different important international Art events, such as Shanghai Biennale(2018) and Singapore Biennale(2019) etc.,

C&G Artpartment has been one of the few artist-run space that pro-actively critiques social and political issues in Hong Kong, and facilitates artists to make critical artworks in response. It believes that a healthy society needs freedom of expression and artistic creativity. The only way to defend such these values is to exercise them with the language of the arts. On June 30th, 2020, People’s Republic of China imposed National Security Law onto Hong Kong and, thereafter, started massive political persecution that destroyed the space for freedom of speech in Hong Kong. In August 2021, C&G Artpartment had to end its physical space in Hong Kong, and decided to move to the UK in the end of the year, in order to keep fighting for our artistic freedom and to encourage more to make critical art.

________________________________
About the Films:

"Nixon Addendum" by Mark Tarrant:
US President Richard Nixon's acceptance in 1971 of Mao Tse-tung's invitation to visit Peking marked the beginning of the end of an independent Hong Kong. The 1949 Shanghai exodus to Hong Kong helped create the territory's vibrant film industry led by Shanghainese director Chang Cheh. The film includes archival footage of the deadly communist-inspired 1967 violence in Hong Kong, which the local population rejected. The death of kung fu star Bruce Lee in July 1973 hit Hong Kong hard as the local population, with its own unique culture and freedoms, felt trapped by the combined forces of the USA and communist China. The film's director Mark Tarrant lived in Hong Kong in the '60's and '70's and features in the film as an 8-year boy in Chang Cheh's 1972 movie 'Young People'. offering critical perspectives on movement, identity, and social contexts. Following the screening, audiences will engage in a post-screening discussion with director MMM, who will join remotely.

"2024 Hong Kong Neon Jimmy Lai in Chains" by Mark Tarrant:
This short documents how the life-size animated neon sign of Jimmy Lai in chains tells the stories of this HK political prisoner in public spaces and joins the protests against the HKCFA
Judges.

One of Gum’s works is currently being shown in the recent group exhibition at New Art Exchange in Nottingham. No joke — my piece is probably the most hidden and hardest to find in the whole show. I guess that was the curator’s intention. Maybe the most important and exciting works are the ones that require viewers to make a special effort to seek them out and appreciate them.

Hope you enjoy this 7-second video work, and don’t forget to read the artwork description as well.

✨ Upcoming Exhibition at C & G Artpartment ✨�
✨ Jessie Tam 個展 《It Has to be Apart It Has to Be Alone》✨

展覽源自兩年前的《展覽計劃展覽》之延伸、變奏,並回應藝術家對「家」、政治記憶與離散經驗的探索。
作品以混合媒材、文字、影像與空間交織而成,承載政治動盪下的情感痕跡。Jessie以被棄置的物件構築敘事,思考不同的媒材能否作用記錄?家」與「歸屬感」是否能在創作過程中浮現,而離散的經驗,又如何能被轉化為可感知的空間與策展形式?

📅 Exhibition Dates:
11 Apr – 2 May 2026�
🕒 Opening Hours: Wed–Sat, 1:00–5:30pm or by appointment [[email protected]]�

🎟️Free Admission 免費入場

Jessie Tam’s solo exhibition “It Has to be Apart It Has to Be Alone,” curated as an extended continuation of C & G's 2024 “Exhibition Proposal Exhibition.” Tracing Jessie’s journey across Seoul, Hong Kong, and now Sheffield, this mixed‑media installation explores displacement, belonging, political memory, and the emotional weight carried by discarded materials. Through objects, video, writing, and spatial encounters, the artist asks: Can materials hold the emotional traces of a place? How might ideas of home and belonging emerge through the creative process, and how can experiences of displacement be translated into spatial and curatorial forms?
