A book launch cum exhibition of Hong Kong artist Leung Chi Wo’s art book, Press the Button (2016), published by OCT Contemporary Art Terminal (OCAT) Shenzhen. Limited to an edition of 50, the individually numbered box set includes an 88-page paperback and 54 hand drawings, with texts by Leung Chi Wo, curator of the exhibition Carol Yinghua Lu, art critic Anthony Leung Po Shan and curator Qu Chang. All original drawings published in the book will be exhibited from the day of the launch for two weeks.

Press the Button was born out of Leung’s eponymous solo exhibition at OCAT Shenzhen in 2015. After the exhibition, Leung created hand drawings for each of the works showcased at the exhibition. The new book features 54 pen drawings, along with textual descriptions of the exhibited works. Laid out in the standard format of exhibition captions, the textual descriptions of the exhibited artworks are used to clarify the intention, concepts and techniques behind their creation.
