Sunday Open Workshop Series
12pm - 6pm
Conducted in Cantonese and English
Suitable for all ages

The Hong Kong Jockey Club presents Life is Only One: Yoshitomo Nara – the first major solo exhibition of the renowned Japanese artist in Hong Kong. The exhibition title comes from one of Nara’s paintings, Life Is Only One! A provocative declaration – but of what? Nara invites Hong Kong visitors to give in to their imaginations and engage in a dialogue with the artist’s work and his world. Through a rich selection of paintings, sketches, photographs, sculptures and mixed-media installations covering a broad range of his oeuvre in the past two decades, the exhibition will present a journey into Nara’s open-ended interpretation of “life.”

This open workshop series welcomes all exhibition visitors to drop in and create their own art work as inspired or in response to the exhibition. The workshops will run every last Sunday of the month during the exhibition period, from 12 noon to 6 pm. Each month’s workshop will be with different themes and art medium. Art materials will be supplied and educators will be present at the studio to provide assistance. Participants are welcome to submit their finished art works to the “Life is Only One-Imagination of Life” art competition.

April Workshop on “My Dog”
Yoshitomo Nara’s dogs embody the spirit of a child’s playmate. They remind viewers what the world looks like through the eyes of a child. In this week’s workshop, art educators will guide participants to use various materials and different techniques to recreate their childhood companions through sculpting a dog, or other animals with clay.
