Avant-Garde Now: Sensing Time

EVENT DESCRIPTION

M+, Asia’s global museum of contemporary visual culture in West Kowloon Cultural District (WestK) in Hong Kong, will present Avant-Garde Now: Sensing Time on Saturday, 15 February 2025. Conceived as a regular screening series that explores current trends in artists’ moving image practices, ‘Sensing Time’ inaugurates a year-long investigation of time as both a subject matter and a medium for artistic expression.

Four invited artists—Takashi Makino (born 1978, Japan), Raqs Media Collective (established 1992, India), Morgan Wong (born 1984, Hong Kong), and Tzuan Wu (born 1985, Taiwan) will present their research and artistic experiments on the topic of time through a mix of analogue and digital screenings, and performances. Curatorial presentations and discussions between the artists and the local community will lay the foundation for future events, including the next edition of the Asian Avant-Garde Film Festival in May 2025.
