Betty Jiu Solo Exhibition

Friday to Sunday 1-6pm

Hidden Space is delighted to present I remember you with wind in your hair, a solo exhibition by Betty Jiu, the eighth recipient of our annual Hidden Space Award.
Across spoken and written text, multiple videos and a single anchoring photograph, Betty Jiu creates space for the tender frustrations of intergenerational relations. A woman stands alone on a rooftop framed by dense cityscape. A handwritten text stretches along a wall, legible but not without doubling back and forth for the reader. A young woman positions a girl in a stark corner. Someone considers place becoming home, how a mother chose schools for her daughters… Among these initially disparate seeming parts, the image of a leafy tree canopy hung with lanterns offers if not unity, at least a truce.
Jiu constructs an open-ended sensory narrative to examine the uneasy gaps in familial (mis)understandings. The contradictory push and pull of emotional and physical closeness and distance play out, forever on the yearning cusp of empathy.

Betty Jiu (HK) is an independent curator and artist. She received her BA from the Academy of Visual Art, HKBU in 2025. Her art practice ranges across written text, audio, video, photography and installation, interweaving and erasing inner monologues and self-analysis into allusive narratives that explore complex intergenerational and familial relations shaped by shifting social, cultural and historical landscapes.
The Hidden Space Award supports an artist graduating from a BA programme in Hong Kong. The awardee receives a solo exhibition with eight months of mentoring, critical and curatorial support to develop their project, plus full venue access for one month prior to the show to move from art making to exhibition making, with installation support to re-articulate the space.
Supported by the Academy of Visual Arts, HKBU.
