Descripción de la Organización

The HOCA Foundation is a non-profit organisation established in 2014, aimed at promoting public awareness and developing access to contemporary art in Hong Kong. With a curated series of programmes across the city, HOCA will focus its attention on the younger generation of established international artists who are conceptually engaged with contemporary life and society. In tandem with the Foundation, the HOCA collection will also be developed and currently includes works by Banksy, JR, KAWS, James Turrell, Lee Ufan, Takashi Murakami and Yoshitomo Nara among others. The collection strategy draws inspiration from popular culture, reappropriating or reinterpreting a wide range of medium from animation, illustration, graffiti and graphic design, and seeks to enhance the dialogue of "high art" within the city. In 2015 the HOCA Foundation will host three exhibitions, as well as a parallel education programme, all accessible to the public. In addition, HOCA will sponsor one artist- in-residence per ... year, the 2015 resident will be announced later this year. Each artist-in-residence will host a lecture and a community workshop during their time in Hong Kong. To further HOCA's community outreach, the Foundation will oversee the publication of contemporary art books and the subsequent donation of these to schools, libraries and charitable institutions.
