In celebration of the 60th anniversary of the Chinese University of Hong Kong, the exhibition “When Art Speaks – Treasures of CUHK” will showcase 60 treasured artworks, dating from the Shang dynasty to the near-modern era, including rare imperial porcelain, calligraphy and paintings from Guangdong, and masterpieces by Hong Kong artists.

Featuring 40 precious rubbings of the Song dynasty and other select artworks from the collections of CUHK’s Art Museum and the Palace Museum, the exhibition showcases the history of collection, connoisseurship, research, and aesthetics of ancient rubbings.

With a focus on belt hooks from the De-Neng-Tang Collection, this exhibition presents more than 30 exhibits, following a path less trodden to showcase the casting and decoration of the belt hooks, and shedding light on the extraordinary craftsmanship of belt hooks from early ancient China.

The exhibition focuses on the beauty of the glazes, decorative techniques and their cultural connotations, and celebrating the beauty and range of Yaozhou ware.

Being trapped in a bewildering maze, this year’s graduates reflect upon their loss of faith. Every work symbolizes a single water droplet — despite its seemingly weak potency, together they create ripple in the stagnant water. Unfolding the beneficence and malevolence in our society, they shed light on the urgency of responding to the present in the form of art, standing their ground and staying sensitive in perceiving the world nowadays.

Exhibition Period: From 25 February 2023 to 18 May 2023
