Visiting the gallery
On a bright Sunday afternoon in November, the Street Culture Gallery was thronged with visitors, many of them armed with cameras. Here's what some of them had to say.

An alternative vision
While G.O.D. is one of the few retail brands that sees Hong Kong culture and heritage as its main source of inspiration, it is not alone in the art and design world, which has taken a particularly keen interest in those themes in recent years. That’s good news for artists like Karden Chan, 26, who was thrust into the public spotlight when two of her woodblock prints became symbols of the fight to save the Queen’s Pier and Star Ferry clock tower in 2006. Social issues, such as heritage, are an essential part of Chan’s work. Her medium of choice, woodblock printing, is a reference to the May Fourth Movement of 1919, when students in Beijing used woodblock prints to spread their message of social and political reform.

Selling Heritage at G.O.D.
“A lot of the these things were just picked up from the street. They were just junk, literally, from the skip. It’s interesting how once it’s in here people start to take pictures.” It’s exactly what Douglas Young had hoped for. The 42-year-old architect, designer and co-founder of Goods of Desire, a Hong Kong lifestyle brand better known as G.O.D., has spent years collecting bits of ephemera – the remnants of everyday Hong Kong life. They have long been the inspiration for the Hong Kong-themed clothes, furniture and accessories that have become G.O.D.’s trademark. Now they are on display at G.O.D.’s latest initiative, the Hong Kong Street Culture Gallery, in the newly-opened Jockey Club Creative Arts Centre.
