Big stage for Van Gog heritage in Hong Kong
The organization First Initiative Foundation (FIF) is launching an outdoor multimedia project "Voyage With Van Gogh" on Thursday, March 28. The collaborative project features light art by Spain's Visura Studio in the heart of the city and is accompanied by music by Hong Kong composer Leon Ko. The project can be seen until May 31, 2024 as part of Art@Harbour 2024 taking place during Art Basel Hong Kong. Right in the heart of the city, near Victoria Harbour, the collaborating parties will pay tribute to Van Gogh. In the projection, the Brabant Van Gogh Monuments are given a special place in the French paintings that are combined with the famous painting "Remembrance of Brabant."
Light projection in the heart of Hong Kong

FIF from Hong Kong launches this art program in furtherance of its mission to strengthen local talent and promote artistic exchange. This program gives 10 emerging artists from Hong Kong the opportunity to present their work at one of the sites of the collaborating Brabant Van Gogh museums. With the project, the collaborating parties are making a promotional and financial contribution to the mission of Van Gogh Sites Foundation. A documentary will be made of the project and broadcast on Cathay's inflight channel and TVN, Korea's largest paid TV channel.
