Content Summary:

Ever since the first Yearbook was compiled, researching and documenting have been the guiding principles for our editorial work. The aim is to provide scholarly insights into the past and future development of Hong Kong visual arts rather than just recording the events that have taken place. When it comes to the Hong Kong visual Arts Yearbook 2004, the same philosophy still applies. This year we have a total of eight essays in Volume 1, covering art history, current developments and issues specific to the year 2004.

In Volume 2, chronological accounts are given for major public issues relating to visual arts, the most prominent for the year 2004 being the West Kowloon Cultural District, the development of the Central Police Station Compound as an art district, the reform of senior secondary curriculum and arts education, the promotion and development of public art, the departure of the Lingnan Master Yang Shen-sum and the exhibition of Picasso's Parade in Hong Kong. As for the other sections under Chronicles, illustrated by plates where appropriate, the exhibition entries are listed by media while talks, awards, exchanges and education are also laid out in line with our previous practice in the hope of encompassing the various aspects of visual arts development in the year.
