EVENT DESCRIPTION
To celebrate the 10th anniversary milestone of THE MONSTERS, the elf supergroup created by artist Kasing Lung, How2work, in collaboration with POP MART and Paradise, presents the Hong Kong stop of the 10th anniversary tour: MONSTERS BY MONSTERS: NOW AND THEN.
The exhibition will be held from December 15, 2025 to January 4, 2026 at Asia Society Hong Kong Center. Riding the momentum from the tour’s debut in Shanghai and Taipei, it brings a fantastical art feast to THE MONSTERS enthusiasts in Hong Kong.
Starting in 2015, artist Kasing Lung released the picture-book trilogy, The Puca Story, Pato and the Girl, and Miro’s Requiem, creating for the first time the fantastical world of LABUBU and THE MONSTERS. Deeply inspired by Nordic mythology, the works launched a journey of boundless imagination. A decade later, these quirky monsters have crossed cultures and regions to become cultural icons that blend trendiness with emotional resonance.
At the Hong Kong stop of MONSTERS BY MONSTERS: NOW AND THEN, an immersive space interweaving reality and fantasy will guide visitors on a journey through time. Precious manuscripts will be on display, revealing the creative process behind the works. From richly layered original paintings to philosophically infused character designs, visitors can trace the artistic roots of THE MONSTERS and LABUBU. The venue will also showcase collectible THE MONSTERS figures from 2015 to the present, presenting the wondrous dimensions of the elf world through an infinity space constructed with mirrors.
