In his first solo show with the gallery, Hong Kong-based artist Go Hung uses objects such as laundry soap, gloves, masks, towels, chopping boards and keys to create installations that portray the everyday lives of those living in subdivided units. His artworks explore issues faced by the marginalised in society, such as rental and housing problems, or the lack of wi-fi which was crucial for virtual classes during the pandemic. A share of the proceeds from this show will be donated to Oxfam Hong Kong.

Until September 17, 2022. 20 Aberdeen Street, Central

Writers, curators and first-time artists come together for an exhibition inspired by the revival of witchcraft in contemporary Hong Kong. Its newfound popularity comes as a response to dealing with stress and uncertainty, offering as it does an alternative spirituality. Each of the artists in this show borrows from their own witchcraft practice to highlight a subject close to their heart: advocating for minority/non-gender-conforming art, challenging capitalism, or questioning how technology is impacting our lives.

From September 9 to November 6, 2022. 2/F, 13 Wong Chuk Street, Sham Shui Po, Kowloon

Don't miss: Modern Witchcraft And Ritual Magick Are Transforming The Wellness Scene

This show investigates the legacy of the Pattern and Decoration movement which started in the US in the 1970s to celebrate ornamental and applied art creators who were slighted by the mainstream white-male centric fine art world. Both local and international artists appear, including Judy Ledgerwood, who was an early proponent of the movement; the works use textile, thread and painting to explore upended notions of gender and the body in the art world.

From September 10 to October 29, 2022. 612 Remex Centre, 42 Wong Chuk Hang Road, Wong Chuk Hang

New York-born French photographer William Klein is known for his avant-garde approach to fashion photography. He had worked with painters and architects, which experience would influence his aesthetics by including abstract geometry and contrasting lines in his composition when he started his photography career in the 1950s. In 1954, he was invited to be the photographer for American Vogue, and has since then redefined modern photography with his non-conforming approach. This Hong Kong exhibition showcases some of his best-known works that epitomise his perspective and practice.

From September 15 to November 27, 2022. Shops BW11 and 13, The Peninsula Arcade, Salisbury Road, Kowloon
