Beyond the Ordinary – Contemporary Book Art

21 Mar – 30 Sep, 2026

Print Art Contemporary

"Beyond the Ordinary – Contemporary Book Art" is Print Art Contemporary’s thematic exhibition for 2026. Through the career stories of eight retired professional master printers, the exhibition introduces movable-type printing, an official part of Hong Kong’s Intangible Cultural Heritage, and foregrounds the four major processes of typesetting, printing, cutting and binding. The exhibition also explores how the concept of the book in contemporary art can transcend the formal constraints of binding and paper and encompass a range of media. Visual artists Lau Ka-chun, Li Xiao-qiao, Percy So and Dana Shek, as well as writers Wong Yi and Nicholas Wong, and stage lighting designer Lau Ming-hang, use their works to examine the current state of linguistic and textual dysfunction, and reimagine the role of the printed text alongside the growing influence of AI.
