SUMMARY:A Man Beyond the Ordinary: Bruce Lee
DESCRIPTION:The internationally renowned megastar Bruce Lee (1940–1973) was born Lee Jun-fon (later Lee Jun-fan). He was also known by the given name Lee Yuen-yam on the clan register\, and at home\, he was known as Sai Fung\, meaning “Small Phoenix”. \nBorn in America\, Bruce Lee was educated in Hong Kong and the United States. He founded the Jun Fan Gung Fu Institute in the US\, and with his unique philosophy on Chinese kung fu\, he managed to make a breakthrough in the American television and film industry. In 1971\, he returned to Hong Kong. Over the next few years\, he made films—The Big Boss\, Fist of Fury\, The Way of the Dragon\, Enter the Dragon\, and The Game of Death—that have become classics. His versatility informed the way he combined Wing Chun\, Western boxing\, and fencing to create what is known as his Jeet Kune Do. Behind the spotlight\, the megastar loved his family and enjoyed reading. He was a man of true emotions and character who used martial arts to shape his beliefs and philosophy along with his physical discipline. This was expressed in his letters and writings\, as well as his breakthroughs in film\, martial arts\, and self-actualisation. Through daily training and reflection\, he went beyond his limits and became a global legend. \nSince 2013\, the “Bruce Lee: Kung Fu • Art • Life” exhibition\, jointly organised by the Hong Kong Heritage Museum and the Bruce Lee Foundation of the United States\, has been well received by the public. In 2021\, the Museum once again joins hands with the Bruce Lee Foundation to present the “A Man Beyond the Ordinary: Bruce Lee” exhibition. The revamped exhibition enhances the display content and features new Bruce Lee memorabilia and photos. An immersive installation “Self. Martial Arts . Emptiness” and other interactive programmes are introduced. Through his films\, his martial arts\, and his life story\, visitors will be able to find out how Lee Jun-fan’s perseverance gave birth to the legend that is Bruce Lee.

SUMMARY:Luis Chan Studio
DESCRIPTION:Nicknamed as “Fuk Bak”\, Hong Kong artist Luis Chan lived in a home studio located at Lockhart Road in Wan Chai – a place which doubled as his living place and room for creation. His paintings were mostly based on daily life. Wan Chai\, therefore\, became the inspiration for many of his works\, including the streetscape\, waterfront\, and shops nearby. Whether realistic landscape paintings or colourful abstract paintings\, his works are traces of the past and rich in local historical stories. \nLuis Chan Studio is an interpretive recreation of a space in which Luis Chan lived and worked. This room features his personal belongings\, such as furniture\, manuscripts\, and books relocated from his apartment\, to recreate the original living environment and moment when he was creating. We hope that visitors can encounter his creative space of the old days in first-person perspective through the glass window and gain an in-depth understanding of the pluralistic nature of this pioneering artist\, thereby enhancing appreciation for his artworks. \nShowcasing precious historical photos and written records\, Luis Chan Studio also guides the public through Luis Chan’s artistic journey and development of styles. From the legendary life of the “King of Watercolour”\, we hope the audience could explore Hong Kong art history in the contemporary context.

SUMMARY:Memories of Our Days
DESCRIPTION:After nearly a year of renovation supported by The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust\, the Heritage of Mei Ho House (Museum) will officially be reopened to the public on Wednesday 2 November 2022\, with the launch of a new exhibition “Memories of Our Days”. \nLocated at the heart of Sham Shui Po\, Mei Ho House is a Grade II Historical Building which marked the beginning of the city’s public housing policies and has a profound historical significance for the community. Its privately-run\, public housing-themed museum has always been a popular attraction for locals and visitors of all ages. \nThe new exhibition takes visitors back to the past with ten brand-new installations and immersive interactive experiences that bring scenes of the grassroots lifestyles in the 1950s and 60s back to life. It builds a bridge of communication for visitors to learn more about the history and livelihoods of their forebears\, the neighbourly perseverance of the communities\, and the underlying spirit that shaped the Hong Kong of today. \nOld Neighbourhood Stories Liven Up “Hong Kong Spirit 1.0”\nThe “Memories of Our Days” exhibition\, apart from preserving the historical background of Mei Ho House\, it also adds new oral histories along with a diversification of artefacts and exhibits to depict the living conditions of grassroots citizens in the 1950s and 60s\, revealing the foundation of the Hong Kong spirit from both a cultural and spatial perspective. The new exhibition area on the G/F presents ten thematic zones\, covering topics and interesting stories surrounding residents’ everyday life. These range from cultural to entertainment aspects and include: “Dai Pai Dong”; “Street Market”; “Grocery Shop”; “Water Resources”; “Movies and Cinema”; “Herbal Tea Shop”; “Playground”; “Barbershop” and “Children’s Games” all of which illustrate the unique cultures and facets of life in these bygone times. \nThe exhibition hall on the 1/F focuses on residents’ living environments. Referencing from oral histories\, the curatorial team has restored the settings and living units of Mei Ho House\, such as the “Multifamily Residential” and the “Loft” in the room\, displaying the primitive and crude structures of the resettlement blocks in the early days. Highlight thematic exhibition zones include: “Mei Ho House in the 1950s”; “Veranda-Kitchen”; and “Public Latrines and Washing Areas”. Other newly added exhibition zones include the “Rooftop School” and “Employment and Livelihood”\, showcasing the demand for school education and the development of family handicraft businesses. The exhibition also introduces iconic public housing designs in different era\, and the Mei Ho House Alumni Network\, allowing visitors to gain a more in-depth understanding of the daily situations of the residents\, the bonding between neighbours and the metamorphosis of the heritage site. \nThe mural at the entrance created by local illustrator Don Mak\, is another must–see for the exhibition. Using soft colours\, the mural summarises stories of Mei Ho House and residents of the Sham Shui Po area across time and interprets the changes in the district since the 1950s. \nOptimising Visitor Experience with Interactive Digital and Immersive Displays\nVisitor experience is enhanced by integrating different interactive and multi-media elements into the exhibition. These include sound effects\, interactive installations\, animations\, motion sensing games\, augmented reality (AR)\, and use of mobile application\, allowing visitors to feel as if they were at the scenes in person. Taking “Rooftop School” as an example\, visitors can try a motion sensing game to follow the teacher to do morning exercises in front of the screen. \nThe Educational Significance of the “Memories of Our Days” Exhibition\nThe “Memories of Our Days” exhibition aims to build a bridge between the younger and older generations\, promoting cross-generational communication and fostering a better understanding of Hong Kong’s history and society. The exhibition hopes that visitors\, especially youngsters\, can reflect on the life and origins of the past generations through historical narratives\, appreciate the perseverance and hard work of the older generations\, and enhance their awareness of the conservation of architectural and cultural heritage. \n“Jockey Club Cultural Heritage Programme@Mei Ho House” Offers Learning Opportunities with Guests Sharing\nIn addition to the revamp of Mei Ho House\, the trust has also supported HKYHA to launch the “Jockey Club Cultural Heritage Programme@Mei Ho House”\, arranging nearly 130 community outreach activities that feature contents of the exhibition\, including thematic lectures about the history of Hong Kong and Mei Ho House\, oral history sharing sessions\, cultural tours and more\, welcomes visitors from all walks of life to participate. Specially designed for students\, the “Modern Life in Sham Shui Po Guided Tour” helps them gain a deeper understanding of the connections among architecture\, urban space\, and community life. Through this programme\, HKYHA has also invited Mr Roger Lee Yan-Lam\, producer of “A Simple Life” (Chinese name: Sister Peach) for a sharing. As a kid\, lived with Sister Peach (whose full Chinese name is Chung Chun To鍾春桃) in a tenement building outside Mei Ho House. He said\, “Whenever Sister Peach (amah) went to the cinema\, she always took my sister and me along. That sowed the seeds for my future interest in film.” Through his oral history sharing session\, he will verbally take the audience on a trip around the neighbourhood and trace the daily life of Sister Peach.

SUMMARY:Brilliance: Ming Dynasty Ceramic Treasures from the Palace Museum\, 1368–1644
DESCRIPTION:On its second anniversary\, the Hong Kong Palace Museum (HKPM) will unveil a new thematic exhibition Brilliance: Ming Dynasty Ceramic Treasures from the Palace Museum\, 1368–1644 on 10 July 2024 in Gallery 3. \nJointly organised by the HKPM and the Palace Museum\, this exhibition marks the second large-scale Palace Museum ceramic showcase since the opening of the HKPM. The exhibition will feature the new batch of 106 ceramic treasures on loan from the Palace Museum\, including 21 grade-one national treasures\, as well as five pieces from the HKPM’s own collection\, showcasing the development and achievements of Ming dynasty ceramics. \nCeramics are among the largest categories of treasures in the Palace Museum collection\, accounting for 360\,000 out of its more than 1.86 million items. Unparalleled in volume\, quality\, and variety\, they are mainly inherited from the imperial collections of the Ming (1368–1644) and Qing (1644–1911) dynasties. “Brilliance” features over 100 representative Ming ceramic treasures from the collection of the Palace Museum. It is organised in three sections and explores the development and the outstanding achievements of ceramic production in form\, glaze\, and design in the early\, mid-\, and late Ming dynasty. The exhibition continues the spotlight on Chinese ceramics\, building on the inaugural exhibition of “Clay to Treasure: Ceramics from the Palace Museum Collection” at the HKPM. Apart from the 106 ceramic treasures from the Palace Museum\, the exhibition will showcase seven exhibits from the generous donations to HKPM by Mr Lawrence Chan\, master of the Dawentang Collection\, and Mr Anthony Cheung\, owner of the Huaihaitang Collection. \nThe Ming dynasty was a golden age of Chinese ceramics. Ming dynasty ceramics are remarkable works of art\, distinguished by their quality and diversity. They tell stories of the imperial court\, technological advances\, and cultural exchanges. Imperial kilns were founded at Jingdezhen in Jiangxi province in 1369 to produce pieces for the exclusive use by the court\, which imposed strict control over the management of the kilns. As a result of imperial patronage\, Ming emperors influenced porcelain production and style. Ming potters\, continuing the legacy of their predecessors\, perfected their craft and sought to break new ground. As powerful vehicles of cultural exchange\, Ming ceramics were widely traded\, admired\, and copied\, generating a craze for Chinese porcelains around the globe. \n“Brilliance” features 106 newly loaned masterpieces from the Palace Museum\, alongside 7 pieces from the HKPM collection. Most of these treasures of the Palace Museum are on display in Hong Kong for the first time. Among them are 21 grade-one national treasures\, including a pear-shaped vase with a “Three Friends of Winter” decoration from the Hongwu period\, a dish with dragons among waves from the Zhengtong period\, a cup with garden scenes in autumn from the Chenghua period\, and a garlic-mouth bottle with birds and flowers among lotus ponds from the Wanli period. Organised in three sections\, the exhibition explores the development and the outstanding achievements of ceramic production in form\, glaze\, and design in the early\, mid-\, and late Ming dynasty:  \n\nThe early Ming dynasty (Hongwu to Xuande periods\, 1368–1435) was the golden age of blue-and-white porcelain\, which is known for its fine body and glaze\, as well as intensely blue decorations. The Yongle and Xuande wares of monochrome copper red and cobalt blue also exemplified the sophistication of Ming ceramic technology. The elegant and subdued “sweet white” porcelains of the Yongle period were often compared to translucent and lustrous white jade.\nDuring the mid-Ming dynasty (Zhengtong to Zhengde periods\, 1436–1521)\, the ceramics displayed representative features\, including enameled doucai wares as well as blue-and-white porcelains known for their subtle colours and delicate thin bodies during the Chenghua period. Monochrome wares with bright yellow enamel and porcelains with green-enameled designs were representative of the Hongzhi period. Thick-bodied blue-and-white wares with greyish–blue designs stood out during the Zhengde period.\nDuring the late Ming dynasty (Jiajing to Wanli periods\, 1522–1620)\, the porcelain industry flourished at Jingdezhen and the folk kilns greatly expanded. Their porcelains became more diverse and inventive in form and design\, and skilled artisans succeeded in firing impressively large vessels\, despite their proneness to distortion. The late Ming also saw further development of the “five colour” technique. Porcelain designs became highly innovative and distinctive in the late Ming reflecting the influence of the emperors’ preferences. For example\, the Jiajing Emperor (1507–1567) was a devout Daoist\, and the wares made for his court were often adorned with Daoist symbols of longevity\, including cranes and the eight trigrams. The Wanli Emperor (1563–1620) was a follower of Buddhism; many imperial wares produced during his reign bore lotuses\, beaded garlands\, and other Buddhist motifs.\n\nA series of educational programmes will enhance understanding of Ming dynasty ceramics \nVisitors who enjoy hands-on crafting experiences are encouraged to take part in a ceramics workshop and create ceramic pieces inspired by the exhibition. The Museum will also organise public talks where curators of the exhibition as well as other specialists will share their insights into the historical significance and regional impact of imperial porcelain in the Ming dynasty.

SUMMARY:Central Magistracy
DESCRIPTION:The new permanent exhibition at Central Magistracy takes a fresh look at the building. Focusing on the experiences of people who passed through the Magistracy\, the exhibition explores its role in Hong Kong’s criminal justice system\, starting in 1841 and ending with the building’s decommissioning in 1979. \nNewly commissioned research shines light on the experiences of the millions of people who came before the courts and the magistrates who tried them. Through their stories\, the exhibition explores the struggles and inequalities of everyday life in a city divided by class\, ethnicity\, and language. \nThe exhibition highlights the importance of this heritage site in Hong Kong’s urban history. It also invites us to think more generally about questions of equity and justice in society.

SUMMARY:Making It Matters
DESCRIPTION:M+\, Asia’s global museum of contemporary visual culture in the West Kowloon Cultural District in Hong Kong\, is pleased to announce the new exhibition Making It Matters\, opening to the public on Saturday\, 2 November 2024 in the M+ Open Gallery. Drawn from the M+ Collections\, this exhibition examines making as a process of creative expression and its long-lasting impact on individual lives\, global communities\, and fragile ecosystems. \nMaking It Matters mostly draws upon the diverse works of the M+ Collections. The artists\, designers\, and architects featured include John Cage\, Harold Cohen\, Julie & Jesse\, John Maeda\, Raffaella della Olga\, Anna Ridler\, Ki Saigon\, Fujimori Terunobu\, Jay Sae Jung Oh\, Stanley Wong\, and Võ Trọng Nghĩa Architects. It follows the process of making from concept and research to design and fabrication\, as well as the social networks that link each step. By delving into the inspirations\, techniques\, and impacts behind the selected works\, the exhibition helps us understand our own roles in processes of making and their relation to our daily lives. \nThe exhibition also looks at responsible design\, material innovation\, and creative reuse strategies adopted by innovative makers exploring alternative modes of thinking. These ideas are situated within wider historical and sociopolitical contexts across four thematic sections: \n\nCeramics: A Story of Shifting Values explores the complex and layered history of ceramics and focuses on how one material can shift greatly in value and perception over time. The section begins with the kilns of Jingdezhen in China and follows the development of blue-and-white ceramics over centuries. The section serves as a prelude to the three facets of making that the exhibition explores—material experimentation\, the evolution of tools\, and consumerism’s impacts on our environment. Highlights include a Qing dynasty vase with tubular handles and lotus design in underglaze blue on loan from the Hong Kong Museum of Art; an armorial ware dish with coat of arms and overglaze famille rose enamels on loan from the Chinese University of Hong Kong; and a contemporary re-imagining of blue-and-white ceramics by Ni Haifeng from the M+ Sigg Collection\, titled Of the Departure and the Arrival (2005).\n\n\nMaterial Potential highlights how makers experiment with a variety of materials\, including neon\, resin\, and bamboo\, discovering new processes\, methods\, and forms along the way. This section explores how makers develop skills and techniques that turn material challenges into opportunities for innovation. A restored Hong Kong neon sign for Very Good Tailor (1963) will be on display in the museum for the first time alongside rarely seen original sketches of neon designs. Võ Trọng Nghĩa Architects’ study model of Wind and Water Café (wNw Café) (2006) showcases the versatility of bamboo as a fast-growing\, sustainable material\, whilst Barbara Sansoni’s sketches and colourful weavings depicting landscapes in Sri Lanka show the versatility of community handweaving practices.\n\n\nThe Hand and the Machine examines how the development of computing\, artificial intelligence\, and machine learning revolutionised the making process. By offering new\, hybrid working methods\, these innovations prompt questions about what craft might look like in this context. Since the 1960s\, a new generation of artists have transformed concepts into algorithms and have increasingly produced non-linear\, interactive\, or randomised compositions. Highlights include Machine Painting Series TCM#14 (1995) by Harold Cohen\, the pioneer of early AI computer art; Reactive Books (Tap\, Type\, Write) (1998) by technologist\, artist\, and educator John Maeda; and the archives of the speculative NFT project Bloemenveiling (2019) by Anna Ridler and David Pfau.\n\n\nActions and Consequences traces how consumerism came to shape contemporary society by demanding mass production\, synthetic materials and low-paid labour. This section features a series of posters employing poignant imagery\, sleek designs and memorable slogans that alert us to this moral and ecological crisis. Facing this global challenge\, some makers focus instead on community engagement and speculative projects that address socio-political issues. Some examples on display include models from the Home-for-All project\, a community-led design initiative fortemporary shelters and gathering spaces after the Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011\, and a poignant message to later generations in the form of Ki Saigon’s Letters to the Future (2021)\, which reflects on single-use plastic waste and its long aftermath.\n\nNew display in East Galleries—a restored capsule from Kurokawa Kisho’s Nakagin Capsule Tower \nCoinciding with the opening of the exhibition\, a restored capsule from Kurokawa Kisho’s iconic Nakagin Capsule Tower (1970–1972) will be on display in the East Galleries. The tower once housed 140 self-contained units of small apartments intended for people who worked in Tokyo’s urban centre while living in the suburbs. It was one of the few buildings realised as part of the 1960s Japanese architectural movement Metabolism\, one of the most significant architectural movements to have emerged from Asia. The tower fell into disrepair in the early 2000s\, and despite numerous preservation attempts and global media attention\, it was demolished in 2022. Only twenty-three capsules were saved and restored\, and M+ is among the few museums to acquire a capsule. The display includes newly produced videos about the birth of Metabolism\, Kurokawa’s vision\, the tower’s structural ingenuity\, and the fate of the building\, eloquently explained by the architect and historian Fujimori Terunobu\, produced by M+ with the support of NHK Enterprises. Together with Kikutake Kiyonori’s Panel from Expo Tower (1968–1970)\, Osaka\, currently on display in the exhibition Things\, Spaces\, Interactions\, the acquisition of the Nakagin capsule makes M+ the only museum to hold two architectural fragments from the very few realised Metabolism projects.

SUMMARY:Alicja Kwade: Waiting Pavilions
DESCRIPTION:Tai Kwun Contemporary is proud to announce the opening of Waiting Pavilions\, a public art commission by internationally acclaimed artist Alicja Kwade (b. 1979). As the artist’s first site-specific installation in Hong Kong\, Waiting Pavilions precedes Kwade’s inaugural institutional solo exhibition\, Alicja Kwade: Pretopia\, which will open at Tai Kwun’s JC Contemporary on 10 January 2025. On view from 20 December 2024 to 2026 in Tai Kwun’s Prison Yard\, Waiting Pavilions consists of historically and socially contextualised objects. The work references Tai Kwun’s history to explore the present\, the passage of time\, and the concept of time itself. \nBorn in in Katowice\, Poland\, Kwade currently lives and works in Berlin. She is internationally recognised as a leading artist of her generation for her works of sculpture\, expansive public installations\, film\, photography\, and artworks on paper. Her practice draws on concepts of space\, time\, science\, and philosophy\, investigating and interrogating the structures of our reality and society. \nWaiting Pavilions continues this investigatory aspect of her practice\, using familiar everyday objects from other contexts. Glass bricks\, for example\, are reintroduced as static\, freestanding sculptures that evoke the concept of space more through their transparency to embark on a poetic spatial exploration of psychological borders. Starting from the notion of our finite existence and time unfolding as an act of waiting\, the new outdoor presentation bridges the past and present at Tai Kwun’s Prison yard. \nThe installation includes six glass structures that correspond to a group of eight bronze cast Monobloc chairs\, each in a dynamic interaction with a boulder—the boulders almost seem to be falling through the chairs\, creating an unexpected power dynamic between these objects. Identical replicas\, the stones present a natural element manifested as eight mirrored forms\, calling to mind both an object and the various possibilities for existing in the present. Alicja Kwade created this installation after learning the history of Tai Kwun’s Prison Yard\, including the fact that prisoners would experience punishments\, inspections\, assemblies\, and group exercises here at different times\, while spending most of their time waiting in cells. In a contemporary context\, individuals at the Prison Yard are waiting for an appointment\, an event\, or a decision. Waiting Pavilions is a reflection on waiting as punishment in our contemporary lives. The size and form of the glass structures mirror the prison cells in the nearby B and D Halls. They hint at the invisible barriers in our everyday lives. Kwade’s works frequently feature chairs to represent human presence. Here\, each white chair bears the weight of a stone differently\, which can be understood as a metaphor for how each of us handles our burdens.

SUMMARY:Kowloon Walled City: A Cinematic Journey
DESCRIPTION:Organised by the Cultural and Creative Industries Development Agency (CCIDA) and funded by the Film Development Fund\, “Kowloon Walled City: A Cinematic Journey” movie set exhibition officially opens. Inspired by the award-winning film Twilight of the Warriors: Walled In\, the exhibition recreates key movie scenes at the original site of the story – the former Kowloon Walled City (now Kowloon Walled City Park). This marks Hong Kong’s largest-scale movie set exhibition to date and will be running for three years. New cultural landmarks and scenes such as the bustling street market have been added to authentically present the unique character of the Walled City in the 1980s. \nA Movie Set Exhibition Unprecedented in Scale \nThe exhibition sets a new benchmark by showcasing the creativity and artistry of Hong Kong movie professionals. Numerous iconic scenes from Twilight of the Warriors: Walled In have been reconstructed at this declared monument\, including No.7 Restaurant\, barber shop\, dental clinic\, grocery store\, bone-setting clinic\, fish ball factory\, tailor shop\, repair shop\, communal well\, and plastic molding workshop along the city’s narrow alleys. Visitors can also explore the “Rooftop of Light and Shadow in the Walled City” that features large-scale projections revealing the day-and-night life of the Walled City\, accompanied by immersive roaring of the low-flying aircraft over Kowloon City. \nElements of traditional local crafts are also included in the exhibition. The entrance features a hand-painted ceremonial flower board and an iron honorific arch that says “Kowloon Walled City” is designed with reference to the design of the gates in the 1980s. Some of the exhibition’s floor tiles are repurposed from old buildings\, paying tribute to the iconic style of the era.

SUMMARY:M+ Sigg Collection: Inner Worlds
DESCRIPTION:The third exhibition of the M+ Sigg Collection builds on the groundbreaking previous editions\, M+ Sigg Collection: From Revolution to Globalisation (2021–2023) and M+ Sigg Collection: Another Story (2023–2025). This new display provides a new and in-depth perspective on the collection and contemporary Chinese art by spotlighting key artists and trends. \nBetween the mid-1990s and 2010s\, China underwent rapid globalisation and economic transformation\, impacting people’s attitudes and values. At the same time\, Chinese artists became regular participants in international exhibitions and an active part of global art conversations. Art from this period embodies their reflections on these societal transformations as well as the lived experiences of epochal change. \nM+ Sigg Collection: Inner Worlds looks at the art of this period through the lens of emotional expression. The thirty-eight artists here communicate joy\, sadness\, calm\, anxiety\, doubt\, and wonder. Their works capture their responses to a changing nation\, creating art that aims to inspire emotional resonance in its audience. As you explore this exhibition\, we encourage you to view the works with curiosity and experience the emotions they are trying to convey.

SUMMARY:The Wanli Shipwreck: Blue and White Porcelain in Global Trade
DESCRIPTION:The emergence of blue and white porcelain was a product of mutual influence between Chinese and Islamic civilisations\, reaching its peak during the Yongle and Xuande periods of the Ming dynasty (1403-1435). However\, it took over a hundred years to replace the mainstream blue and white porcelain and white porcelain. Based on archaeological data\, blue and white porcelain became mainstream during the Jiajing period of the Ming dynasty (1522-1566). \nThis exhibition explores three main themes: \n\nTheme 1: The Omnipresence of Chinese Blue and White Porcelain-the reasons why blue and white porcelain became the mainstream in the Ming dynasty\nTheme 2: The Story of Shipwreck Porcelain-the significant implications of the Wanli Shipwreck and the emergence of salvaged porcelains\nTheme 3: China’s Shining Gem in the World of Porcelain-how blue and white porcelain became a symbol of China during the Age of Exploration\, adapting to Western aesthetics and demands\, sparking a continuous flow of creativity and inspiration\, and becoming a beautiful aspect of cultural exchange

SUMMARY:A History of China in Silk: The Chris Hall Collection
DESCRIPTION:For more than five thousand years\, silk was an integral part of life in China\, composing an illustrious chapter in the history of Chinese civilisation and global cultural interaction. Strong yet soft\, silk is woven from the fibre produced by silkworms. Its natural lustre adds to its appeal. China\, the birthplace of silk\, was known as Serica (State of Silk) by ancient Greeks and Romans\, and China remains the world’s largest silk producer today. Sericulture\, which includes mulberry cultivation\, silkworm breeding\, silk reeling\, and silk weaving\, was a remarkable creation of the ancestors and served as an important step in the origin and development of Chinese civilisation. Silk production has played a key role in the livelihood of the Chinese people\, as well as in socioeconomic developments and technological innovation in China. \nSilk not only helped connect diverse ethnic groups and vast regions across China but also bridged China and the rest of the world. Silk was a highly sought-after luxury good\, as precious as gold\, and was also a form of currency that facilitated vibrant exchanges between China and many parts of the world along the trade routes known as the Silk Roads. Silk has made unique contributions to world art: it has been widely used as a support for Chinese paintings and calligraphic works\, as a canvas for artistic experiments in colour and decoration\, and as a fabric for clothing. \nDrawing on the Chris Hall Collection at the Hong Kong Palace Museum\, this exhibition is a survey of the history of silk in China from the perspectives of technological advancement and artistic achievement. It features over one hundred spectacular textiles from the Neolithic period up to the early 20th century. The exhibition’s five sections\, presented in chronological order\, weave a rich and colourful tapestry of China\, its society\, its clothing culture\, and its interactions with the world.

SUMMARY:Ancient Egypt Unveiled: Treasures from Egyptian Museums
DESCRIPTION:The Hong Kong Palace Museum and the Supreme Council of Antiquities of Egypt will jointly present the special exhibition Ancient Egypt Unveiled: Treasures from Egyptian Museums from 20 November 2025 to 31 August 2026. \n The special exhibition\, which will run for an unprecedented duration of nine and a half months\, brings together 250 exquisite treasures from seven major museums in Egypt\, including the Egyptian Museum in Cairo\, the Luxor Museum of the Ancient Egyptian Art\, the Suez National Museum\, and the Sohag National Museum. Additionally\, the exhibition will present a group of ancient Chinese objects to foster a dialogue with their Egyptian counterparts\, highlighting the parallel development and achievement of two of the world’s great ancient civilisations. \nCoinciding with the 70th anniversary of the establishment of the diplomatic relations between China and Egypt in 2026\, this exhibition will demonstrate the unwavering dedication of both nations to promoting cross-cultural exchange and collaboration. \nThe long and rich legacy of ancient Egypt civilisation is evident in its monumental pyramids\, magnificent temples\, exquisite statues\, and intricate archaeological remains\, all of which continue to captivate archaeologists\, historians\, and visitors from around the world. This great civilisation originated in the lower reaches of the Nile River in the northeastern part of the African continent more than 7\,000 years ago. From unification around 3000 BCE through the Old Kingdom (2686–2160 BCE)\, the systems of pharaonic rule and deities were established. This was followed by the development and perfection in the Middle Kingdom (2055–1650 BCE)\, and then the fusion and transformations in the New Kingdom (1550–1069 BCE)\, during which ancient Egyptian culture and arts reached their peak. After the invasions of the seafaring raiders known as “Sea Peoples”\, as well as Libyans\, ancient Egyptian civilisation engaged in deeper interaction and integration with Mediterranean civilisations. \nThis grand exhibition traces the development of this fascinating culture over a period of 5\,000 years\, showcasing its political achievements\, art\, daily life\, and religious practices during the peak of its accomplishments. It also introduces the latest archaeological discoveries from the Saqqara region near Cairo and explores ancient Egypt’s exchanges with other world civilisations. Featuring 250 precious artefacts from seven major Egyptian museums and the Saqqara archaeological site\, the exhibition is organised into four thematic sections: “The Land of Pharaohs”\, “The World of Tutankhamun”\, “The Secrets of Saqqara”\, and “Ancient Egypt and the World”. These sections present concepts of sacred kingship\, belief systems\, funerary practices\, social life\, and customs while exploring stories of Tutankhamun’s lineage and era\, astonishing new finds from Saqqara\, sacred animal traditions\, and Egypt’s cultural exchanges and archaeological collaborations with the world. \nThe exhibition is jointly organised by the Hong Kong Palace Museum and the Supreme Council of Antiquities of Egypt. It is proudly supported by Bank of China (Hong Kong)\, the Museum’s strategic partner\, and Cathay and UnionPay International are the Major Sponsors.

SUMMARY:Beyond Distance: Half a Lifelong Friendship of Eileen Chang\, Stephen Soong and Mae Fong Soong
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Hong Kong Metropolitan University\, the exhibition Beyond Distance: Half a Lifelong Friendship of Eileen Chang\, Stephen Soong and Mae Fong Soong explores the profound friendship among Eileen Chang\, Stephen Soong\, and Mae Fong Soong\, which lasted over four decades.

SUMMARY:Luminous Neon
DESCRIPTION:Luminous Neon is a celebration of Hong Kong’s radiant urban soul with a strong focus on the city’s influential design legacy. It’s an illumination of memory\, craft\, and contemporary imagination. Through the glow of heritage signs and a striking collection of new two and three-dimensional neon works\, the exhibition reveals how light itself is a living language of the city. \nOnce\, neon signs were Hong Kong’s calling card to the world — a luminous skyline of artistry and ingenuity that captured the city’s restless energy and modern spirit. Far more than mere advertisements\, these glowing beacons shaped the city’s visual language and business culture for decades. Each sign was both a statement of identity and a promise\, drawing people in from the streets with colour\, craft\, and character unique to Hong Kong’s urban life. \nToday\, these authentic icons—rescued\, restored\, and reignited—return to the public eye\, their familiar glow rekindling stories of the streets they once adorned. Each sign carries with it the touch of the neon masters whose hands bent glass to imagination\, merging precision and poetry in equal measure. Their craft not only lit up shopfronts and theatres\, but also shaped the visual DNA of a city constantly in motion. \nWe are thrilled in this new exhibition to bring back to life several iconic signs including the Golden Phoenix Grill Restaurant salvaged in September\, Tai Ping Koon from neighbouring Yau Mei Tai\, Nam Cheong Pawn Shop and also Da Cheong Computer Optical Centre’s neon signs with their beloved Ray-Ban inspired neon frames\, amongst other heritage treasures. \nAlongside the revived emblems of the past\, stands a new generation of contemporary neon artisans\, whose bold two and three-dimensional works push the medium into uncharted forms driving the limits of both artistic and technical design. They build on tradition with creative and experimental techniques\, transforming the timeless glow into sculptural expressions of identity\, place\, and emotion. \nTogether\, old and new illuminations create a dialogue between eras—a conversation of light that transcends nostalgia. They cast Hong Kong’s neon heritage not as a relic\, but as a radiant continuum: living\, evolving\, and endlessly luminous.

The exhibition explores how Zao’s printmaking catalysed his experiments in abstraction and considers the role of prints as a visual and conceptual vehicle that facilitated the circulation of his works\, positioning him as an eminent cross-cultural figure in the post-war art landscapes of Europe\, Asia\, and the United States. \nFrom his first attempts in 1949 upon arriving in Paris\, Zao quickly mastered various printmaking techniques and incorporated them into his work\, a practice he maintained throughout the rest of his career. The exhibition traces Zao’s aesthetic\, and technical progression in print mediums such as etching and lithography and how they resonated with the themes and artistic styles of his oil paintings. It also highlights his graphic art commissioned for publications of prominent modern poets in France\, illustrating his relationships with French literary circles.

In addition to individual creations\, there are also co-created works. \nDespite their diverse backgrounds\, ages\, learning speeds\, and artistic mediums\, all participants have overcome difficulties with courage and perseverance to engage in artistic expression. Chou Chiu Ming\, a graduate of Hong Chi Winifred Mary Cheung Morninghope School\, has practised painting for many years. He enjoys painting as well as participating in art competitions and exhibitions\, from which he has gradually developed confidence in his abilities. His artwork\, Super Hero Arriving in Mei Foo\, depicts a scene where reality and fantasy intertwine—a bustling street filled with vehicles and pedestrians\, representing the vibrant daily life of Mei Foo\, while Spiderman and Superman in the sky create a surreal\, captivating vibe. \nChau Ka Ching\, from Hong Chi District Support Centre – N.T. (North District)\, has a keen interest in history and warfare\, often enjoying reading history books at the public library. His painting\, Red War\, depicts a war scene with different shades of red\, expressing his concern for global events. Ann Li Ching Yuen from Hong Chi Lions Morninghope School creatively repurposed a recycled glass bottle by painting Van Gogh’s Almond Blossom with vibrant colours that radiate positive energy. \nSince its establishment in 2015\, Sun Museum has embraced the philosophy of art for the public good\, working to bridge gaps between different communities through artistic expression. Dr. Lesley Lau\, Director of Sun Museum\, states\, “We believe that people from diverse backgrounds can connect with art at Sun Museum. Individuals with varying abilities can realise their potential through support and training\, using art to voice their inner thoughts and create pieces that resonate on a human level. Sun Museum is proud to provide a platform for Hong Chi Association to showcase trainees’ and students’ creations to the public\, allowing everyone to appreciate their talents and emotions.“

SUMMARY:PROTOTYPING:
DESCRIPTION:It is with great pride and enthusiasm that we present Prototyping:\, an unprecedented exhibition that marks a milestone in the history of innovation and creativity at our university. This is the first large-scale exhibition of its kind ever undertaken by a university in Hong Kong\, and it offers a unique opportunity to explore the transformative journey of innovation—from the spark of an idea to its realisation and impact on society. At the heart of this exhibition is a celebration of the creative process and a recognition of the profound ways in which innovation shapes human life\, our communities\, and the world at large. \nThe title Prototyping: encapsulates our focus on the iterative process of innovation. It underscores the trials\, experiments\, and gradual refinements that take ideas from concept to implementation. These efforts not only produce groundbreaking technologies but also forge connections between innovation and the human experience. Our exhibition highlights the inseparable relationship between technology and society\, emphasising that innovation is not an abstract endeavour but one deeply rooted in the needs\, aspirations\, and challenges of people. By showcasing the most representative projects developed by our university over the past three decades\, we invite visitors to reflect on the vital role that innovation plays in\nshaping our shared future. \nThe projects featured in Prototyping: have been selected for their profound and lasting impact on our lives and the ways we live. From pioneering environmental solutions that protect the planet to advanced systems that monitor our oceans— integral to Hong Kong’s identity as a city surrounded by water—these projects demonstrate the power of innovation to address pressing global issues. Visitors will also encounter technologies that enhance communication between people\, revolutionise energy use\, improve food consumption\,\nand safeguard public health. The exhibition does not merely celebrate past achievements but also looks towards the future\, featuring emerging technologies that promise to sustain our economy and improve our quality of life in the years to come. \nBeyond showcasing technologies\, Prototyping: is a tribute to the spirit of human ingenuity and resilience. It is a reminder that innovation is a dynamic process\, one that thrives on collaboration\, creativity\, and the courage to experiment. This vision would not have been possible without the extraordinary support of our university community\, the Indra and Harry Banga Gallery\, the Academy of Innovation\, and our HK Tech 300 teams. We would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to our faculty members\, laboratory directors\, researchers\, entrepreneurs\, and external advisors\, whose dedication and expertise have been instrumental in bringing this exhibition to life. Their collaborative spirit and generosity in sharing their work have allowed us to present an artistically rendered\, technically inspired exhibition that bridges the gap between science and art\, technology and humanity. \nAs visitors walk through this exhibition\, we encourage you to not only marvel at the innovative technologies on display but also to reflect on the broader implications of creativity and innovation. How do these advancements connect us as individuals and as a society? How can we continue to harness the power of innovation to address the challenges of tomorrow?\nWe hope that Prototyping: inspires you to imagine new possibilities\, to appreciate the intricate relationship between technology and humanity\, and to recognise the role innovation plays in shaping a better future for all. \nLet us embark on a journey together\, exploring innovation and its transformative impact.

SUMMARY:Trevor Yeung: swallowing rumination\, gracefully
DESCRIPTION:Blindspot Gallery is pleased to present Trevor Yeung: swallowing rumination\, gracefully\, on view from 24 February to 2 May\, 2026\, marking his fourth solo exhibition at the gallery. Yeung is known for using aquariums\, horticulture\, found objects\, installations and photographs as cyphers to project his internalized perception of the world. Excavating the logic of natural and artificial ecologies\, he orchestrates scenarios that evoke emotional resonance and simulate social dynamics\, eliciting viewers to contemplate upon notions of selfhood and intersubjectivity. Coinciding with his Blindspot presentation\, Yeung’s first institutional solo exhibition in France\, Garden of the Nine Suns\, will be on view in CAPC Musée d’art Contemporain de Bordeaux from 3 April to 29 September\, 2026. \nYeung’s exhibition at Blindspot Gallery is conceived as a space of introspection for the solitary pensive dweller. Projecting one’s interior world\, a thread of sentimentality\, desire and vulnerability runs throughout the exhibition\, bearing the visceral traces of time and impermanence. It features Yeung’s latest tank\, mixed-media and light sculptures\, photographs\, and new installations composed of rocks and crystals\, reflecting the artist as an avid hoarder\, and belief systems which serve as comfort during change. \nYeung will have a conversation at 4pm on 21 March with artist Lap-See Lam\, moderated by Olivia Chow\, Director of Curatorial Programs at the Chinese Canadian Museum. Chow curated Trevor Yeung: Courtyard of Attachments\, Hong Kong in Venice\, Hong Kong’s Collateral Event at the 60th Venice Biennale\, as well as its return presentation Trevor Yeung: Courtyard of Detachments at M+. The conversation will be conducted in English. Lap-See Lam: Bamboo Palace: Revisited (23 March – 2 May) will take place in tandem with Yeung’s exhibition at the gallery. \n
