City Gallery (Hong Kong)
City Gallery is an exhibition centre about the planning and development of Hong Kong. It is located at Edinburgh Place in Central. It is a public relations effort of the Planning Department of the Hong Kong government.
History
It was previously known as the Hong Kong Planning and Infrastructure Exhibition Gallery (Chinese: 香港規劃及基建展覽館) and was set up in 2002 on the ground floor of the City Hall annex building as a temporary exhibition gallery, pending the establishment of a full-fledged permanent exhibition gallery which will occupy the entire City Hall Annex Building.
To make way for the refurbishment and expansion works at the City Hall Annex, the temporary gallery was relocated to the ground floor of the Murray Road Multi-storey Car Park in mid-2009 to maintain continuous services to the public.
The permanent gallery reopened in the City Hall annex building in 2012.
Description
The gallery showcases the planning proposals and infrastructure projects of the Hong Kong Government. It comprises six main sections: Imprint, Hong Kong 2030, New Kai Tak, Transport & Logistics, Sustainable Development and Living Environment. Interactive features and devices give visitors the latest information on planning and infrastructure developments in Hong Kong.
City Gallery (Manhattan)
City Gallery was an art gallery in New York City that is now demolished.
The artists Red Grooms and Jay Milder founded the City Gallery in Grooms' second-floor Flatiron Loft on 26th Street and Sixth Avenue in 1958. When Phoenix refused to show Claes Oldenburg, Grooms and Milder dropped out of Phoenix and City Gallery presented Oldenberg's first New York City exhibition, as well as that of Jim Dine. Other artists who showed at City Gallery include Stephen Durkee, Mimi Gross, Bob Thompson, Lester Johnson, and Alex Katz. Grooms recalls, "We were reacting to Tenth Street. In '58 and '59, Tenth Street was sort of like SoHo is now, and it was getting all the lively attention of everyone downtown....We were just kids in our twenties..and had a flair for attracting people to our openings."
