In this talk held on 29 May 2007 at the Hong Kong Art School, John Young introduces early minimal and conceptual pieces (1978–82), including pieces he created on a pilgrimage in Connemara, Ireland, works made in Australia and 'Snow Walks' created in Harbin, Manchuria in 1979. By bringing in Eastern processes and values in these late Modern works, they became a foundation to working methods that Young developed for the following 25 years. Together with this journey, he also introduces his recent series of works since 2000.
