In 2024, the Culture, Sports and Tourism Bureau appointed Xu Bing as Hong Kong’s Ambassador for Cultural Promotion for a five-year term. During this tenure, he plays a significant role in initiating a series of large-scale art projects for the Leisure and Cultural Services Department in Hong Kong, nurturing young artistic talent, and fostering cultural development and exchange. Following the success of “Xu Bing in Hong Kong: Square Word Calligraphy”, Xu Bing will introduce a second art project about “Space Art”. To support this initiative, the Art Promotion Office will collaborate with the Hong Kong Space Museum to co-organise a series of science-art education programmes designed to deepen public understanding and interest in the intersection of science and art.
