Co-created by the Hong Kong Performing Arts Expo and China Performing Arts Agency Music Theatre: A Fusion of Nanyin and Jazz Nanyin originated in the late Qing Dynasty and was a popular music and narrative singing art form in the Guangdong region, Hong Kong included. Jazz, on the other hand, also emerged at around the same time. However, despite their eastern and western origins, nanyin and jazz are authentic folk arts that express human emotions through music and singing. In 1014, a couple implanted a chip sometime ago, erasing a shared unpleasant memory and replacing it with a fictional happy memory. Today, an unpleasant event is about to occur again. How will the couple face it? Technology is enticing, but can outward happiness suppress the deepest human emotions? Perhaps only time can tell! In this production, we will witness how Hong Kong and mainland Chinese artists spanning multiple generations use these genres to express about humanity’s aspirations and doubts for the future. The premiere of the production will take place on 14 October, hence the title 1014!

Kwai Fung Hin Art Gallery proudly presents “Memento,” a solo exhibition of Italian sculptor Matteo Pugliese, marking his long-awaited return to Hong Kong. Titled “Memento,” the exhibition gives a fascinating glimpse into two decades of Pugliese’s artistic evolution. Each exhibit unfolds enlightening discoveries from his soul voyage, exploring themes of redemption and resilience, vulnerability and power, individuality and ancestry, faith and rebirth. Spanning mediums such as bronze, marble, terracotta, ceramics and walnut wood, Matteo Pugliese keeps exploring new frontiers of contemporary sculpture through masterly synthesis of classical traditions and revolutionary concepts in his signature series “Extra Moenia”, “Guardians”, “Beetles,” as well as his latest creations.

The core design concept of the "Golden Hour" exhibition revolves around the narrative construction of light and shadow. Xia Yu ingeniously employs light and shadow as the dominant elements in his compositions, leveraging the intricate techniques of Tempera painting to create a unique visual effect. This effect not only intensifies the visual impact of the paintings but also profoundly conveys the artist's profound reflections on time, space, and the essence of existence. Xia Yu treats light and shadow as a narrative language, utilizing their flow and transformation within the canvases to narrate stories of life, eras, and memory.

From 31 August to 12 October, 2024, WKM Gallery is pleased to present “Meridiem”, Japanese artist Megumi Shinozaki’s first solo exhibition in Hong Kong. Shinozaki has attained recognition as the founder and creative director of edenworks, a creative studio that specialises in utilising flowers and plants to create artworks, installations, and experiences that function as catalysts for meaningful connection to people and nature. “Meridiem” is an artistic extension of her work with the studio, and will present a series of around 200 brand new paper flower works all handmade by the artist, as well as a fresh flower installation composed of local flora. These two contrasting approaches - one that makes use of paper to create eternal blossoms, the other a tribute to the ephemerality of the natural cycle of life - together represent the central theme of Shinozaki’s practice, in which the flower becomes a symbolic way to explore the profound area between alive and not, temporary and eternal. Originally a florist, Shinozaki’s perspective was shaped by her experience working with flowers as objects with short life spans. Within the context of a store, flowers became commercial items that were either consumed or discarded; often, the amount being discarded caused Shinozaki to feel a sense of uneasiness and distress. This dissatisfaction with the wasteful system surrounding our thoughtless methods of flower consumption functioned as the starting point for laying the foundation of her philosophy: to fulfil the potential of these living beings and respect the full cycle of their existence, so that we may embrace the future.

Founded in 2011, Tokyo- and London-based A.A. Murakami is a duo of Alexander Groves (b. 1983) and Azusa Murakami (b. 1984). Working across a range of disciplines, including sculpture, installation, film and digital art, the duo creates spectacular scenes that take their science-based inquiry to the next level. The exhibition features two immersive, interconnected installations that offer an otherworldly experience: in the first, rings of fog travel through space into the digital realm; in the second, clouds of floating bubbles drift overhead. Using ephemeral materials and innovative use of specially developed technology, these two large-scale installations inspire viewers to philosophically ponder the nature of reality and artificial constructions, and question the growing importance of digital life in today's society. The exhibition will expand on the concept of "ephemeral technology" pioneered by the duo, using innovative technological research to reimagine the beginning of everything while envisioning possible future scenarios.

Chinese civilisation is ancient, profound, and enduring, standing as the the world's longest continuous civilisation. In 2002, the country launched the “Project to Trace the Origins of Chinese Civilisation” (the Project), which has yielded remarkable results over the past two decades, mapping out the historical trajectory of the origins of Chinese civilisation. The Project, through archaeological surveys and studies, has showcased the tangible continuity of the civilisation and the diversity of its origins. It reveals how different regions and cultures interacted with one another, and eventually merged into a cohesive whole, forming the “diversity in unity” developmental pattern of the Chinese people. This exhibition features the excavates of the Project as well as important archaeological discoveries in the centennial modern Chinese archaeology. Over one hundred exhibits come from fourteen archaeological institutions and museums in the Mainland and Hong Kong, covering nine archaeological cultures and nine major archaeological sites. It is one of the most comprehensive exhibitions in recent years dedicated to exploring the origins and achievements of Chinese civilisation. The exhibition is jointly organised by the HKPM and Art Exhibitions China, and sponsored by Bank of China (Hong Kong), the Museum’s strategic partner.

Beginning 26 September, Hauser & Wirth will present ‘Exotica,’ a solo exhibition of new, formally innovative works by Mark Bradford.
