After graduating from the Chinese University of Hong Kong in 2002, Lam Tung Pang's focus remained on creating art.
During his time studying in London, he resided in a friend's living room, which he found to be a struggle but regards it as the most valuable experience ever.
Lam received further recognition in 2009 when he became the recipient of Hong Kong Contemporary Art Biennial Awards.
Back in Hong Kong, he re-thought how to integrate his creative work in his surroundings in order to establish a closer relationship.
He was inspired to explore Hollywood Road in Sheung Wan and the Hong Kong Heritage Museum in Shatin where he saw ancient pottery statues, leading him to develop his "Antique" series.
Lam sought to address how toys often reflect the "utopia" of a child's mind, and to contrast it with an adult perspective, which he saw as being complicated through accumulated life experiences.
Curating a miniature museum that documents our systems of learning, the exhibition space features toy installations, that are a result of highly personal encounters.
Playing with these found objects raises questions about growth, human experiences and the development of the adult mind, ideas which provide continuous inspiration to the artist.
Investigating a culturally acquired perception of memory in comparison to reality in this exhibition, Lam placed one of his personal works, Folding (2006), a self-portrait within a hinged wood box created during his four years living in London, alongside his creations, including The Youngest and the Oldest (2011), a five-panel work on plywood.
