Back in July, we were delighted to have Aric Chen, curator of design and architecture at the upcoming M+ Museum, talk about looking at Hong Kong through its iconic neon signs. However, due to the typhoon 8 signal being hoisted that evening, we had to take a rain check. We are happy to welcome Aric back in December to talk about one of the richest forms of the city's visual culture. Whether seen as graphic design and typography, or through cinema and visual art—Hong Kong's neon signs have long defined its urban landscape. Through NEONSIGNS.HK, the online exhibition mounted by M+, Aric will tell the story of neon in the city, and its current decline due to LED technologies and other factors.

十二月兩依論壇,我們有幸邀請到陳伯康, M+博物館設計和建築策展人, 探索香港這座霓虹都市的視覺文化。霓虹招牌是香港最豐富的視覺文化之一,不論從圖像設計,字體排印學,或透過電影及視覺藝術的媒介, 霓虹招牌是香港不可忽略的城市街道景觀。透過M+舉辦的互動網上展覽NEONSIGNS.HK, 陳伯康先生會與我們分享:香港霓虹招牌,這逐漸消逝於香港街頭的文化和故事…
