“Up Close - Hollywood Road” is an exhibition that uses contemporary art as a means to intervene in the everyday environment and operation of antique shops, thereby creating a dialogue between history and modern times as well as art and traditional craft. The five participating artists of the show have different takes on collecting antiques and old objects and approach it from their own points of view. During the project, they have worked with four antique galleries specialised in different areas, and their new creations are inspired by the galleries’ history and collections. By restructuring, interpreting and liberating age-old objects from their original status as well as appropriating historical materials, their works are mirrors of the yearnings and imaginations we have nowadays. The exhibition takes place across multiple venues on Hollywood Road from 30 May to 18 July 2020.
