About the event
The exhibition “With Love from Hong Kong” marks a continuation of Wong’s exploration of pulp television and film. Drawing inspiration from soap operas and largely based on the personal narratives of his grandmother’s life experiences, these new works use exaggerated plots and touches of humour to create a series of videos which, through the set designs, he invites the audience into this retelling of his family’s stories.
At Oi!, Wong extends this cross-generational dialogue into the exhibition space, using scenography to co-create a “soap opera” that explores themes of love, cities and human connections with the community, and transforms Oi! into a vibrant stage for creative experimentation.

About the organiser
Oi! is an art space located in the North Point community which is popular among the public. Its name links the ideas behind it with its location: Oi! sounds similar to the address in Cantonese and conveys a call for people's attention while providing a platform where they can realise their dreams in art.
Oi! includes a historic building complex opened in 1908. It was a yacht club clubhouse that was located on the waterfront in North Point at the time. Following land reclamation work in the 1930s, the buildings were initially converted into staff quarters for the Government Supplies Department and later into a storage facility for the Antiquities and Monuments Office. After it was allocated to the Art Promotion Office for revitalisation and restoration, the red-bricked Grade II historic building complex with tile roof was renamed as Oi!, which was opened to the public in 2013.
In order to provide more space to inspire and increase imagination, Oi! has further expanded in 2022, in which an adjacent outdoor space has been integrated with the original premises. The new extension provides both outdoor and indoor spaces to host a wide variety of art exhibitions and community-engaged activities that encouraging the public to enjoy the environment and to ignite creative ideas.
