Dawn Chorus | Chui Pui-chee x
Batten and Kamp
August 4 - September 10, 2020
Front window, HART Hall
Dawn Chorus is a collaborative installation combining the ink painting of renowned contemporary ink artist Chui Pui-chee, and the sculptural furniture of design-art duo Batten and Kamp.
Chui’s latest large-scale ink painting Nine Abysses is a serene Northern Song Dynasty style landscape where the artist depicts pine trees and jagged rocks rising from the abysses to represent a recent personal triumph over darkness. Batten and Kamp’s best known works explore notions of place and our connection to the land, while their recent explorations turn to the heavens for inspiration.
Conceived in response to the sublime emptiness of Chui’s painting, Batten and Kamp assemble a collection of their works to create an installation that might be seen as a landscape within a landscape, one which takes inspiration from the fleeting moment of transition between darkness and light.

HAPPEN with HART
is a project initiated by HART to present creativity and artistic talents in Hong Kong. The idea is to demonstrate a great diversity and variety of art in the city, especially found in HART communities.
Every talented presenter invited to engage in this project shares the same values and beliefs - in creativity, in collaborations and in the strength of communities. In the quest of art making, and the journey of discovery of their becoming, HART the initiative evolves with the creative souls.
We believe that each and every individual possesses knowledge and experience in aesthetics, and a glimpse of art can connect people. Each presentation of selected collaborative projects lasts for 3 weeks to a month, the creators realise their own concepts, subject matters and ideas by formulating and producing what you see at the window space of HART Hall.
Through the diversity in mediums, contrasts of tradition and innovation, each showcase captures the creative talent that makes up our vibrant city, and is made meaningful by its encounter with you.
About HART
HART is a local arts initiative that promotes creativity and community values through connecting hands-on making, collaboration and knowledge sharing. Our journey began in 2018 with the establishment of HART Haus, our artist-in-studio programme, providing opportunities to evolve, nurture and realise projects for our Hausians.
HART Haus, located in Kennedy Town, is a platform for Hong Kong talents to work, experiment and evolve their practices in a social setting. Since our establishment, we have worked with over 60 artists, realised more than 50 programmes and workshops available to public. In our HART collective of spaces, we bring the latest creations by artists to HART Hall, so that you may join in our inspirational exchange.
