The Academy of Visual Arts jointly organises the Hong Kong Sculpture Biennial displaying installation works of varying styles produced by HKBU creators at the Kai Tak Campus.
Some of the works are interactive to enable visitors to engage with them. Here is a wood carving and an electronic interactive installation entitled “I have a dream”.
The huge geometrical infinity sign installed around two old trees produced by Director of AVA Professor John Aiken is an iconic form contrasting with the natural growth and movement of the trees.

 

The Academy of Visual Arts (AVA) of HKBU jointly organised the Hong Kong Sculpture Biennial 2016 with the Hong Kong Sculpture Society this year, showcasing three-dimensional and installation works produced by 14 AVA staff, students and alumni. The Kai Tak Campus of AVA was one of the sites for the exhibition, which ran from mid-October to mid-November. 

The show evolved around the theme of “World and Heaven”. The Kai Tak Campus was seen as an excellent site for the theme of “Heaven” because it is situated in a natural environment and is itself a heritage site. The organisers considered that this site helps to liberate artists from constraints on their creativity.
