On view from 4th November, 2014 for four weeks, On Track is a group exhibition featuring two new media artworks from the APT Collection and by member-artists of Artist Pension Trust (APT) Wang Yahui (Taiwan) and Junebum Park (Korea). A collective exploration of the romanticism of urban experiences, the exhibition is designed to surprise MTR passengers with artworks exhibiting in 10 second excerpts on JC Decaux’s Digital Panel Network across 10 MTR station at varying times.

“This exhibition aims to provide a breather for the commuters with the romantic notion that art can be taken in small doses. Generating a connection with artwork, whether to spark an idea or recall a memory, in the seconds during which one waits for his or her ride on the platform,” said APT Institute Director David A. Ross, former director of the Whitney Museum of American Art. “This and the internationality of the participating artists is in line with APT Institute’s mission to promote emerging artists worldwide, and to make art more accessible and tangible to a global community.”
