About C&G Artpartment:

C&G (Clara & Gum) are two Hong Kong artists who have founded the art space: C&G Artpartment in Hong Kong, China, in 2007. With a strong concern over the local art ecology, C&G use their art to respond to social and cultural issues. Helping develop new flavours in the local art scene, their essential goal is to fill up the crack in the current art scene, and allow C&G Artpartment to become an art space for idea exchanges.

In the past 10 years, C&G Artpartment has curated more than 50 art exhibitions that included more than 100 local artists in response to the social and cultural issues in Hong Kong, including “Back To The Basic,” “0771,” “To Tsang, C.E.”, “The Preview of New West Kowloon Exhibition Venue,” “Sick Leave,” “To Tsang, C.E. 2,” “West Kowloon Cultural Revolution District,” “6,000” and the “Primitive Contemporary” art exhibition series etc. All these exhibits successfully attracted the local media and many visitors. C&G Artpartment has hosted monthly 'Under The Bed' screening and sharing sessions since 2013 December, in order to facilitate more spontaneous discussion amongst local artists and art lovers. They have also hosted and participated in various exchange projects to initiate more cultural and artistic dialogues amongst artists from Hong Kong, Poland, India, Israel, South Korea, Taiwan, China, New York, Melbourne, Venice etc.

Besides building their own art space, C&G often present art projects in pair, as an art duo. For example, they have a series of performance pieces during the July 1st rally in Hong Kong every year since 2004. In 2014, C&G was the artist-in-residency at Asia Art Achieve and hosted 'Not as Trivial as You Think: Hong Kong Art Quiz,' in May 2014, in which many local artists participated to recall important but often forgotten stories from the past in Hong Kong art scene.
