An ancient grammar of 64 states once compressed the world into tendencies: advancing, retreating, blocked, open. The same logic runs in every system that classifies before it acts. Name a state often enough and the state begins to behave. The reading becomes the environment.

Closes 2 May. Square Street Gallery, Hong Kong.

For Art Central’s Yi Tai Installation and Sculpture Stage, OrangeTerry will present the sculptural installation “Found Faith”. Based on a church pew gifted to the artist’s studio by a friend, Found Faith sits in the limbo between a functional object of devotion and a conceptual artwork. The circular, enclosed ring of church pew that rotates through wheel appendages is a symbol of many paradoxes: at the moment the church pews are joined by their ends into a communion, it also bars any visitors but from access to this innermost circle. The bench that symbolically “grounds” members of the congregation in their faith now lifts them off the surface on trolley wheels, aimlessly spinning. It asks: What does it make of our commitment, when the subject of our devotions are increasingly indexed by transactional and mutable objects? In the face of ever-present uncertainty, do our faiths find us through the trappings of trends and influences that overwhelm us, or do we find our faith through a sustained search inwards?

Introducing Brandon Tay ()

Brandon Tay is a Singapore-born, Shanghai-based artist working across sculpture, installation, moving image, and speculative systems. His practice explores how myth, technology, and historical knowledge become entangled through interfaces, infrastructures, and symbolic forms. Drawing on sources that range from scientific revelation and occult traditions to computational logics and vernacular media, he builds works that stage reality as recursive, unstable, and continually rewritten.

Working through biomorphic sculpture, simulation, text, and networked imagery, Tay creates environments that blur the line between system and symbol, archaeology and speculation. His work often examines how belief is encoded in technical systems, how memory is shaped by media, and how irrational structures persist within modern regimes of reason. Tay has exhibited individually and collaboratively at platforms including the Singapore Biennale, transmediale, and the National Communication Museum (Melbourne), among others.

Square Street Gallery is delighted to present a solo booth at Art Central 2026 with Michelle Fung, showcasing her Northlandia series. This will include new works made during her Arctic residency in 2026. Northlandia depicts one of the countries in Fung’s dystopian/ecotopian world of 2084, populated by the Ice Queen (a polar bear ice sculpture), seal soldiers, and other inhabitants. Within the world of 2084 populated by anthropomorphic animals, and darkly humorous absurd scenarios, Fung has woven a narrative tool for viewers to project contemporary fears and anxieties onto, drawing parallels with geopolitics and climate change. At the centre of Northlandia is the struggle between greed and the landscape, self-preservation, and resource distribution.

Square Street Gallery is pleased to present ‘HEX STATE SERVER,’ Brandon Tay’s first solo exhibition in Hong Kong, curated by Institution of Niche and Rafi Abdullah. At the core of ‘HEX STATE SERVER’ is the interplay between individual agency and destiny, drawing parallels between Chinese divination and computation to probe the relationship between randomness and fate. Visitors participate in a collaborative, asynchronous fortune-telling session through an interactive sculpture connecting them to the HEX STATE SERVER—an oracle simulation operating through I-Ching logic. Surrounding the exhibition, PHANTOM INDEX unfolds as a speculative timeline mapping Chinese thought from historical to speculative futures. Through these layered frameworks, Tay investigates Chinese cosmotechnics and the fundamental overlap between chance and destiny.

四方街畫廊榮幸呈獻 Brandon Tay 在香港的首個個展 - ‘HEX STATE SERVER: LOVE, LORE, MANIFEST’，由 Institution of Niche 和 Rafi Abdullah 策劃。「HEX STATE SERVER: LOVE, LORE, MANIFEST」是一次個人能動性與命運的交織，其將算命與計算科學進行類比，以摸索隨機性與宿命之間的關係。

One week left to bathe in the confusion of language and translation at Faan1jik6 Zi1gaan1 (In Between Translations) !!! Our last day will be the 7th of March, bring your friends before it closes or you become illiterate – (oops)

距離《Faan1jik6 Zi1gaan1（In Between Translations）》閉幕只剩下一星期——把握最後機會，沉浸於語言與翻譯嘅混亂之中！展覽將於 3 月 7 日 結束，記得帶埋朋友一齊嚟，趁仲未關展；否則——你可能會突然變得唔識字（Oops）。
至於呢個笑話……不如試下自己翻譯？

Faan1jik6 Zi1gaan1(In Between Translations)* is a group show on language, presenting artists working in a translational process.

Through installations and videos, CHAN Melody, YAN Wai Yin Winnie and YIP Kai Chun explore how the transmission of information can fluctuate between being an exposing or obscuring act. Language is a negotiation of/with/in the world, an interpretation of observations and thoughts into spoken or written symbols. Often seen as a transparent line of communication, it leads us to omit its potential for distortion and rupture.

Working on what escapes clear and straightforward communication, the artists favour simultaneous interpretations instead. We are thus met with multiple forms of language converging and transforming, resulting in works reflecting on history, personal heritage, legitimacy and memory.

Chan, Yan and Yip treat language as an unstable object, using translation as a tool to dismantle its perceived reliability. In their process, they urge us to question whether incomprehension and opacity render language completely impenetrable, or if ambiguity can instead be a potent doorway to reconfigure our relationship between knowledge, visibility and understanding.

透過裝置與影像作品，CHAN Melody、YAN Wai Yin Winnie 及 YIP Kai Chun 探討資訊在傳遞過程中，如何於揭示與遮蔽之間游移。語言既是與世界進行協商嘅方式，亦是將觀察與思考轉化為口語或書寫符號嘅詮釋過程。語言往往被視為透明而直接嘅溝通媒介，從而令我哋忽略其內在嘅扭曲、斷裂與不穩定性。

藝術家聚焦於難以被清晰、線性表述嘅部分，轉而採取並置與同時發生嘅詮釋策略。多種語言形式喺作品中相互交匯、轉化，繼而引發對歷史、個人身世、正當性與記憶等議題嘅反思。

Chan、Yan 與 Yip 將語言視為一種不穩定嘅對象，並以翻譯作為拆解其表面可靠性嘅方法。在創作過程中，他們引導觀眾思考：當語言陷入不可理解與不透明狀態時，是否意味其徹底失效；抑或模糊與歧義本身，正是一道重新構築知識、可見性與理解之間關係嘅入口。

𝑴𝒐𝒓𝒆 𝒂𝒃𝒐𝒖𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒂𝒓𝒕𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒌

崖𝘩𝘦𝘢響槓言𝘷𝘰𝘪𝘤𝘦 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘳𝘰𝘰𝘵, 𝘳𝘦𝘤𝘭𝘢𝘪𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘨
ʙʏ ʏɪᴘ ᴋᴀɪ ᴄʜᴜɴ

崖𝘩𝘦𝘢響槓言𝘷𝘰𝘪𝘤𝘦 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘳𝘰𝘰𝘵, 𝘳𝘦𝘤𝘭𝘢𝘪𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘨 is a mixed media installation centred around the artist exploring his father’s native tongue, Hakka. Unable to speak it, language becomes a site of tension, where discovery meets loss, and the restless coupling of breakthrough and forfeiture engenders questions of legitimacy and cultural dispossession.

The artist recorded learning sessions with his father over the span of two years, transforming them into the present installation. In order to learn these new words, Yip invented a written hotchpotch of Hong Kong Cantonese, Putonghua pinyin, English and self-invented marks to pinpoint the right tones. These marks crystallise both a desire and fragmentation in his process, indicating aspiration and alienation. Words flash across the red screen, creating a sharp rhythm as if calling for us to repeat them. A hypnotic cadence takes place, inviting the audience to participate in this journey. Sitting close to the screen, we hear both the son’s and the father’s voice– a scratchy and nostalgic sound, distant but alive with familiarity.

《崖𝘩𝘦𝘢響槓言𝘷𝘰𝘪𝘤𝘦 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘳𝘰𝘰𝘵, 𝘳𝘦𝘤𝘭𝘢𝘪𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘨》係一件混合媒介裝置作品，聚焦藝術家對父親母語——客家話——嘅探索。由於自己無法流利說出呢種語言，語言本身成為一個充滿張力嘅場域：發現同失落並存，而突破與失去之間不安嘅交纏，引發對文化正當性同文化被剝奪嘅提問。

藝術家歷時兩年，記錄佢同父親一齊學習客家話嘅過程，並將呢啲學習片段轉化為而家嘅裝置作品。為咗掌握新詞彙，Yip 自行創作咗一套混合書寫系統，結合香港粵語、普通話拼音、英文，以及佢自創嘅符號，用嚟標示正確聲調。呢啲記號凝結咗佢學習過程中嘅渴望同破碎狀態，同時指向追求與疏離。詞語喺紅色屏幕上不斷閃現，節奏銳利，彷彿召喚觀眾一齊複誦；一種近乎催眠嘅韻律隨之展開，邀請觀眾參與呢段旅程。當我哋坐近屏幕，可以同時聽到兒子同父親嘅聲音——聲線帶點沙啞，充滿懷舊感，遙遠卻又熟悉，彷彿仍然活著。

Yip Kai Chun is a Hong Kong artist-curator working across a variety of mediums, including mixed media installation, moving images and sound. With a research oriented and socially engaged approach, the artist is interested in peripheral communities and the idea of locality.

A primary quest of his work is the inheritance and transformation of culture and language in the context of migration — migrants in Hong Kong, Hong Kongers & Chinese people as overseas migrants, and Hong Kong as an essentially migrant city. The major example of this is his continuous exploration of the disconnection, mutation and possibilities of the Hakka identity and language; which has brought him to communities in Hong Kong, Singapore and Indonesia.

Yip co-founded the Inter-island Festival (2021, 2023 & 2026)and has been to residencies in Indonesia (2025), USA (2024),Singapore (2022), India (2018 & 2019) and Armenia (2016) among others. He was awarded Special Mention, Media Art Category, The 21st ifva Media Art Exhibition, Hong Kong (2016). He is the winner of the 3rd VT Open Call, VT Artsalon, Taiwan (2017) and Open Call for Young Curators by Mur Nomade, Hong Kong (2015).

葉啟俊（1984年生）是來自香港的藝術家兼策展人，其創作聚焦於邊緣與被忽視的社群及地域，尤其關注離散群體與島嶼議題。他以民族誌為基礎，採取研究導向與社會參與的實踐路徑，創作出融合動態影像、聲音與現成物的混合媒介裝置。
其作品的核心命題，在於探索遷徙脈絡下文化與語言的傳承與變形——包括香港的移民群體、作為海外移民的香港人與華人，以及香港作為本質上的移民城市。最具代表性的實踐是他對客家身份與語言的斷裂、流變及可能性的持續探索，這項研究曾引領他深入香港、新加坡及印尼的客家社群。
葉啟俊共同創辦了「離島藝術節」（2021、2023及2026年）。他曾駐村於印尼（2025年）、美國（2024年）、新加坡（2022年）、印度（2018及2019年）、亞美尼亞（2016年）、格魯吉亞（2016年）、吉爾吉斯斯坦（2016年）及葡萄牙（2016年）。他曾獲頒香港第二十一屆ifva媒體藝術展媒體藝術組別特別表揚（2016年），亦是台灣VT非常廟藝文空間第三屆公開徵件優選（2017年）及香港Mur Nomade青年策展人公開徵件得主（2015年）。
