Overseas Summer Internships

Tong Kam-ting (4th right, Fine Arts, Year 4)

'I went to the Suzhou Art Museum for an internship from July to August 2012. I learned a lot from the co-workers at the museum about the arts management and policies of the local authorities and the lives of local youths. I also familiarized myself with the unique way of working in China and Suzhou's traditional handicrafts and culture.'

Wong Ka-ying (Fine Arts, Year 4)

'I worked as an intern at the Ullens Center for Contemporary Art in Beijing from July to September 2012. In the first month of my internship, I was responsible for transcribing an interview with young Chinese artists and preparing for their exhibition in January 2013. In the second month, I worked as an assistant to the Japanese artist Kaneuji Teppei. This task enabled me to have a better understanding of the production of large-scale artworks and preparations for a big exhibition.'

Leung King-nam (2nd left, Fine Arts, Year 4)

'I got an internship at the Beijing World Art Museum from June to July 2012. During my internship, I went to exhibitions related to art and history and gained a better understanding of art organizations in China. In my leisure, I visited shops selling artworks, antiques, handmade pottery and film-related products, prompting me to reflect on the survival of the arts in the market.'
