The Peninsula Hong Kong opened in December 1928 and has been the city’s resident grande dame ever since. Seven years ago, the group launched a yearly contemporary art program commissioning ambitious work from emerging artists, timed each year to coincide with Hong Kong Arts Month. This year’s edition is characteristically varied: the local artist Angel Hui has wrapped the hotel’s awning and its fleet of Rolls-Royces in a large-scale installation; Albert Yonathan Setyawan, a Tokyo-based Indonesian artist, has installed a contemplative ceramic work in the Lobby; and Dr. William Lim, in collaboration with the carpet company Tai Ping, has transformed The Verandah Café into something approaching a dreamscape, drawing on Lim’s painting A Bright Future. The program is organized in partnership with the Victoria & Albert Museum in London. —Elena Clavarino
