The exhibition: “Good Company: Leung Ping-kwan’s Hong Kong” extended until 22 March 2013
The exhibition: “Good Company: Leung Ping-kwan’s Hong Kong” commemorates the work of our city’s foremost literary voice, Yesi (也斯), who sadly passed away on January 5, 2013.
Venue: Atrium, G/F, Main Library, HKU
Exhibition period: 30 January – 22 March 2013
The exhibition is inspired by Leung Ping-kwan’s (known by his pen name Yesi) collaboration with 9 artist friends and communicates their shared vision of Hong Kong. Five of the exhibits have not been shown before. Poetry and literary creation were central to Yesi’s life; so was friendship. The exhibition shows how friendship and poetry can nourish each other, displaying the author’s poems alongside his friends’ photographs. It also offers a bibliographical survey of Leung Ping-kwan’s work in three genres – poetry, prose, fiction – from earlier to more recent times.
The exhibition “Good Company: Leung Ping-kwan’s Hong Kong” is held as part of the Faculty of Arts Centenary and is co-organized by The University of Hong Kong Libraries.
