About the event
Design Spectrum of Hong Kong Design Centre Presents:
‘PASS THE BATON’
Part 1 of the Exhibition ‘FROM PASSING BY TO PASSING ON’
The exhibition ‘PASS THE BATON’ is divided into three parts, which will take place throughout the year, with the aim to reveal the all-round value of things, and explore the concept of ‘inheritance’ from both tangible and intangible perspectives. Part 1 of the exhibition, ‘FROM PASSING BY TO PASSING ON’, acts as a prologue, offering an introduction and laying the foundations for further exploration. Part 2 of the exhibition, ‘FROM PROCESS TO PROGRESS’, will continue the exploration in July, showing how design elevates a standard process to progress when it is needed. Part 3 of the exhibition, ‘FROM FUTURE TO NOW’, will then take place in August, bringing together the preceding sections, creating a cohesive and comprehensive experience.
When it comes to the tangible heritage surrounding us, do we pay enough attention to objects’ relevance in the modern world? How can we redesign and evolve them to create greater value? Design Spectrum, a public platform of the Hong Kong Design Centre (HKDC), sponsored by Create Hong Kong of the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, will present a new thematic exhibition, ‘PASS THE BATON’, started with Part 1 of the exhibition ‘FROM PASSING BY TO PASSING ON’ from 15 May to 30 June 2024. Curated by designer Mr Michael Leung, the exhibition will explore various aspects and values of ‘inheritance’ from a fresh perspective.
This exhibition brings together 28 design projects from Hong Kong, the Mainland, the Netherlands, Italy and Iceland. Through these works, curator Mr Michael Leung invited the public to explore the role and value of design in ‘inheritance’, bringing ideas on how we should respond to this global topic.
