Now through May 2025, The Peninsula Hong Kong is hosting the brand's annual Art In Resonance Program, an initiative that began in 2019 to highlight emerging artists. To celebrate the opening of the exhibition, which is put on in partnership with London’s Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A), The Peninsula had its annual cocktail party at the top of Hong Kong Art Week, inviting over 500 guests to attend, which was then followed by an intimate dinner with the V&A and Vogue100. 

Three installations complete this years exhibition, including Lunar Rainbow by Phoebe Hui, She's Bestowed Love by Lin Fanglu, and The Flow Pavilion by Chris Cheung (h0nh1m).

Hong Kong-based artist Phoebe Hui’s Lunar Rainbow is perhaps the first thing guests–and anyone else on Salisbury Street–will see upon looking at The Peninsula. Over 56 square meters, Lunar Rainbow is the moon, shattered into 49 pieces and suspended over the hotel's facade. When standing at the front-center of the piece it appears whole, but at any other angle viewers can see the way each fragment is separated from one another. Lunar Rainbow is an image of the moon laser printed onto aluminium plates, and with customized lighting reflects a type of “moonbow” to create the magic of a rainbow despite it being nighttime. 

She's Bestowed Love, created by Lin Fanglu, lives in the lobby and is curated by Dr Xiaoxin Li, V&A’s Curator, Asia Department. Large red sculptures are situated in tandem, made up of meticulously tie-dyed textiles–an incorporated craft technique that the artist learned in her travels. Using the traditions of Bai in Yunnan, of which Fanglu learned herself when spending time with experts in a rural village there, the piece in total is representative of all of the thousands of small moments, memories, and experiences that make up a woman’s life. And although the realities of women are different everywhere across the world, and for some evolve over time, the stitches of each respective heritage are forever sewn into the threads of these lives, especially continuing on into the contemporary world. After it’s time being shown at The Pensinsula Hong Kong, She’s Bestowed Love will exhibit at the V&A South Kensington as part of Dimensions: Chinese Contemporary Studio Crafts showing in the fall of 2025.

Lastly, Chris Cheung, otherwise known as h0nh1m, displays The Flow Pavilion, in partnership with Tai Ping. Structured after a tea house, this piece lives in The Verandah of the hotel, where viewers can step into a sculpture built of one-way mirrors, floored with plush, soft grey silk carpet. At the center of the pavilion is a kinetic sphere that drifts along, leaving behind it circular patterned tracks. Reminiscent of a Zen Garden, Cheung invites viewers to experience a “Flow State” where the mind is clear and the body is relaxed. The sphere moves from a power source which is a recording of Cheung's brainwaves during his own meditations. Thus, The Flow Pavilion sits at the crux of eternal mindfulness and modern technology.

These works will remain at The Peninsula Hong Kong through May and then go on to exhibit at other Peninsula properties with newly commissioned installations from local and international artists.
