Runway 51 - What secrets will you uncover?
Aliens have landed in Hong Kong Central — and they’ve chosen JPS Gallery as their terminal. Runway 51, the latest solo exhibition by American multimedia artist Barminski, transforms the gallery into a cardboard airport where extraterrestrials clock in like everyday workers. The immersive installation reimagines interstellar travel as part of a daily routine. Visitors wander through sculptural gates, signage, and seating, all crafted from cardboard – a playful satire on consumer culture and the rituals of modern travel. The aliens here don’t invade; they blend in, reminding us that the extraordinary often hides in the ordinary. Barminski’s work has long explored themes of repetition, media critique, and humour. With Runway 51, he extends that dialogue into cosmic territory, inviting audiences to reflect on how systems of control and chaos shape both earthly and galactic journeys. For Hong Kong’s art scene, Runway 51 underscores JPS Gallery’s role as a hub for bold, experiential programming. It’s not just an exhibition – it's a chance to step into a parallel world where cardboard becomes cosmos, and infinity feels strangely familiar. JPS Gallery 88–90 Staunton Street, Central, Hong Kong. 17/07/26 - 19/09/26
