Fashion and music have the power to set trends, shape culture, and define an era. If garments could speak, what stories would Rihanna’s 2015 Met Gala iconic ‘Yellow Queen’ gown tell? A pop music icon, a dress inspired by imperial Chinese attire, and China’s leading couture artist, Guo Pei—this moment stands as a true embodiment of the intersection of music, art, and fashion.

To complement the new Guo Pei: Fashioning Imagination Special Exhibition, this edition of M+ at Night is themed ‘Couture Rhapsody’, bringing her daring style to life in a spectacle where sound and fashion converge in a celebration of artistry and innovation.

As M+ at Night returns this October, experience the museum like never before. Join us for a Friday night where dynamic lighting, energetic music, exciting creative activities, and food and drinks take over. Unwind from the stresses of everyday life and connect with friends and like-minded people.

With close readings of the works in the exhibition and personal anecdotes, this conversation promises to give us insight into how King's distinctive approach enriches the discourse around landscape photography in the context of contemporary art practice.

In this fireside chat, we'll explore how Stephen King uses his craft to create painterly images that evoke emotional responses and challenge viewers' perceptions of nature; how his works draws themes and inspirations from contemporary art masters while retaining the unique qualities of photography. His keen eye for light, color, and composition not only reflects the beauty of the landscapes he captures but also engages with broader art historical themes.

Why did Guangdong artists establish some of the most radical news pictorials in China in the early 20th century? How did they adapt the elegant poetics of Chinese painting to represent the realities of modern warfare or to satirise society? How do their innovations continue to shape the way we see?

This public symposium will shed new light on Guangdong's distinctive contributions to Chinese artistic modernism and its place within the current discourses of regional and multiple modernities. Leading experts from universities and museums in Beijing, Guangzhou, Hong Kong, and Shenzhen will consider such topics as the varieties of realism in 20th-century Guangdong painting; the social circulation of images, especially pictorials, woodblock prints, and cartoons; and the propagation of the Lingnan School in Hong Kong and the Cantonese diaspora. The symposium will be conducted in Cantonese and Mandarin, with simultaneous interpretation available in English.

Join us for a conversation about the immeasurability of time with Lee Weng Choy, Simon Leung, Gala Porras-Kim, and Merve Ünsal—four artists and writers who have created new work for AAA’s upcoming exhibition, Countering Time.  

How does time resist precise measurement? How does it counter and elude while remaining numbered at the same time? This conversation invites the participating artists and writers to discuss ideas of archival time, impermanence, ghosts, and artistic speculation. They speak about their own artworks as well as personal and shared references, including films and poems. 

This event marks the opening of Countering Time, an exhibition featuring new works by Lee Weng Choy, Simon Leung, Gala Porras-Kim, and Merve Ünsal. Ünsal uses her body to record a centuries-old sinkhole where human and geological time collapse. Leung bends and folds the afterlives of a moment captured in a 1967 photograph from Hong Kong. Porras-Kim traces recollections of lost works and archives. Lee uses personal annotations to mark time. Together, they tune in, refract, exhume, and annotate artworks, archival records, and past events, demonstrating how archives are sites of imagination instead of final resting places of historical records.

Venue address: CCG Library, Asia Art Archive

As one of China’s first generation of fashion designers, Guo Pei has expressed her dream for beauty through her endeavour in couture art over the last three decades. She melds historic Chinese craftsmanship with diverse cultural inspirations and haute couture. Her garments are not merely wearable sculptures but mirrors that reflect the rapid economic development in China, the pursuit for material pleasure and technical heights, and the universal hunger for spectacle. The Special Exhibition Guo Pei: Fashioning Imaginationpairs Guo’s pioneering vision with artworks in the M+ Collection that also speak to the same cosmopolitan modernist approaches and references in visual art and culture during the post-1980 period.

Join Guo Pei, M+ Lead Curator of Design and Architecture Ikko Yokoyama, and Vogue Hong Kong founding publisher Desiree Au for a discussion on the relationship between fashion, art, and design, and how through the development of the exhibition this relationship is explored.

Curator Talk | Home: From Collective Construct to Illusional Fabrication

Join us on September 7, 2024 (Saturday) at 3 PM HKT for an engaging curator talk that complements our current group exhibition, 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘞𝘢𝘺 𝘏𝘰𝘮𝘦. Hosted by curator Shirky Chan, this thought-provoking discussion features participating artists Henry D’Ath and Mo Lai Sze Liz, who will explore the intricate relationships between art, home, and identity. We look forward to seeing you there for this enriching exploration of home through the lens of creativity!

Art as a medium of internalization and reinterpretation, the talk would like to explore more on how the artists express the notions of home which are influenced by societal norms, personal histories, and political agendas. It also examines how artists have responded to experiences of displacement and migration of home through their work. The sharing aims to deepen our understanding of how home is constructed, experienced, and reimagined through creative expression.

In the exhibition Floating World, the artist duo A.A.Murakami’s newly commissioned immersive work blends together technology and physical effects to create unique experiences that feel otherworldly. The two projectsBeyond the Horizon and The Passage of Ra bring giant iridescent bubbles and fog rings to The Studio.
During the talk, find out more about how the creation of this exhibition fits into their ongoing exploration of research that the artist terms ‘ephemeral tech,’ their inspirations, and their views on how technology has blurred our perception of what is virtual and what is real.
Join Ikko Yokoyama, Lead Curator of Design and Architecture, and Sunny Cheung, Curator of Design and Architecture, in conversation with A.A.Murakami, for an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at their new visionary installation at M+.

Admission to this exhibition is free. The opening talk will be conducted in English with simultaneous interpretation in Cantonese. Click on ‘Register’ to sign up for this free talk.

Artist Wai Pong Yu will continue the ongoing chatting-drawing project on the 12-meter scroll. He started this drawing in a tiny studio in 2019 when he needed quiet reflection and hoped to see a mindscape projection of collective consciousness. Thanks to the exhibition in 2022, “Brushstrokes and Beyond” at Axel Vervoordt Gallery, Hong Kong, the drawing has reached out to the public with a flow of stories. Now, with a Hong Kong green mountain as a landscape background, the drawing continues to reflect the dark corners in visitors’ minds like a tranquil water surface. And thanks to the support of HKADC Artspace, we can enjoy a comfortable southern retreat for healing conversations and heated debates.

‍Come tell Pongyu a story on the Southside Saturday!
