The largest and most comprehensive exhibition of ancient Egyptian treasures in Hong Kong in recent decades features nearly 250 exquisite objects from seven important institutions in Egypt, including the Egyptian Museum and Luxor Museum. It also highlights significant new archaeological discoveries from the large tombs at Saqqara near Cairo. The exhibition illustrates the legendary life of the Egyptian pharaoh Tutankhamun (r. ca.1332 BCE–1323 BCE) while exploring statues, coffins and animal mummies found in Saqqara since 2018.

In traditional Chinese landscape painting, attention is often drawn to the majestic landscape itself. Yet, it is in the scantily described miniature figures that the soul of a landscape painting resides. Playing neither a dominating nor a supplementing role, they encapsulate the painter’s intent and serves as his magic wand that turns the painting into an idealised place for travelling, gazing, roaming and dwelling. Engaging in disparate activities, these figures venture deep into nature, communing with it and giving life and meaning to the painting. Far from random ornaments, they personify the painter besides embodying his musings and inclinations.  

Featuring a fine selection from the Chih Lo Lou Collection, the exhibition zooms in on figures in Chinese landscape paintings to reveal their identities, stories and cultural significance. Following the ink marks as leads, visitors to the exhibition will be able to explore how these tiny beings, reclusive, cynical or otherwise, are transformed into the protagonists of the landscape narratives. 

Venue address: Chih Lo Lou Gallery of Chinese Painting and Calligraphy, 4/F

The British Council announces its second art exhibition, 'Gleams and Echoes', at the newly transformed 'Bookshop Gallery'. Curated by Hong Kong curator Wong Ka-ying, the exhibition brings together the British Council Collection and creations by local young artists, transforming the Bookshop Gallery into a vibrant platform for artistic exchange, weaving together new sparks of artistic perspectives between the UK and Hong Kong through creativity, contemplation and dialogue.

'Gleams and Echoes' builds upon the 'GREAT Art' zone jointly presented by the British Council and the British Consulate-General Hong Kong at the Hong Kong Rising Contemporary Art Fair in May 2025, with a redesigned theme. This exhibition breaks free from the art fair format, delving into cultural identity, artistic expression and local characteristics through a dialogue between the British Council Collection and the creations of Hong Kong's new generation of artists from a fresh perspective.

Venue address: British Council, Basement, 3 Arbuthnot Road, Admiralty

ENDO EXO  and PHOSPHENES  draw upon Carsten Nicolai’s collaboration with Ryuichi Sakamoto, which began in 2002. Both videos feature soundtracks from Sakamoto’s final studio album, 12 (2023). Inspired by Jules Verne’s science fiction novel 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, the works are two of the twenty-four chapters in Nicolai’s film project 20,000 (2014–ongoing).
Carsten Nicolai: ENDO EXO, PHOSPHENES  is presented in conjunction with the exhibition Ryuichi Sakamoto | seeing sound, hearing time, on view in The Studio from 14 February to 5 July 2026.

Both videos are part of Art at the Stair, an exhibition series at the Grand Stair that presents outstanding moving image works in dialogue with other ongoing programmes.

The third exhibition in the "Lingnan Colour" series, titled "Bird-and-Flower Paintings of Jao Tsung-i and the Lingnan Master," sponsored by the Simon Suen Foundation and co-organised by Jao Tsung-I Academy and Sun Museum, will be open to the public tomorrow.

The exhibition features a selection of 10 collaborative works by Professor Jao and four distinguished masters of Lingnan painting: Zhao Shao-ang, Li Xiong-cai, Yang Shan-sum, and Wu Hao. The exhibition showcases themes from nature, including bees, butterflies, dragonflies, leeches, fishes, lotuses, willows, vines, and stones.

Every brushstroke by the artists is infused with the breath of life; the plants exhibit their growth, while the small insects add dynamism, breathing life and energy into the tranquil landscapes. The five masters together weave a vibrant tapestry of nature that showcases the beauty of the natural world imbued with scholarly elegance.

We warmly invite all to visit The Gallery - Hall 2 at Jao Tsung-I Academy to appreciate these artworks and immerse themselves in the charm and depth of this artistic expression, fostering a closer connection with Chinese culture and arts.

Directed by artist Nam June Paik, this experimental video highlights his friendship and creative exchange with a young Ryuichi Sakamoto. It celebrates New York’s vibrant art scene in the 1980s, reflecting the dynamic intersections of artists and musicians within the Fluxus art movement that began in 1960. Through interviews with renowned figures, including Laurie Anderson, John Cage, Charlotte Moorman, and Julian Beck, the work captures these artists’ collaborative spirit, an important mindset that shaped their art and personal relationships.

Found Space, B2

seeing sound, hearing time celebrates the legacy of composer, producer, and artist Ryuichi Sakamoto (Japanese, 1952–2023). Sakamoto is renowned for his award-winning film scores, wide-ranging collaborations, and exploratory spirit. His 2017 album, async, which he described as ‘some of the most personal music I have ever created’, forms the core of async–immersion (2023), a large-scale installation created in collaboration with artist Shiro Takatani (Japanese, born 1963). The work is part of a series of what they call ‘installation music’, in which the album is paired with a three-dimensional representation of the music in a gallery space. Shown as a site-specific installation in The Studio, the work features Takatani’s visual compositions of Sakamoto’s instruments, plants, books, and other objects in his studio, shown on a large LED screen. The images emerge from either side of the screen and dissolve, one pixel at a time, into abstract horizontal lines before regaining their original form. Takatani’s visual interventions are not synchronised with the sound but evolve continuously, creating a parallel time axis within the artwork. The music from async plays through multiple channels in a surround sound system via high-precision speakers, enveloping visitors in an immersive sonic experience.

Painter and seal carver Wang Xin was born in Xingtai, Hebei province, in 1964, and graduated from the Chinese Painting Department of the Sichuan Academy of Fine Arts in 1991. He currently lives in Beijing, where he teaches Master of Fine Arts students at the Communication University of China. This unprecedented exhibition of his paintings of pine trees offers specific insights into his philosophical mindset and, more specifically, the Buddhist influence of the Diamond Sutra (Vajracchedikā Prajñāpāramitā Sūtra).

The artist’s large compositions combine finely rendered ink drawings of rocks and trees with excerpts from the Diamond Sutra. Reminiscent of Wang’s daily religious practice and study of the text, the sutra’s philosophy influences his compositional choices and defines how Buddhist concepts affect his use of space. A pivotal Mahayana Buddhist scripture, the Diamond Sutra is a core text in the Perfection of Wisdom (Prajñāpāramitā) tradition. Through a dialogue between the Buddha and Subhūti—one of the Buddha’s ten principal disciples, foremost in “dwelling in peace”—it teaches that reality is illusory and empty, revealing profound insights on non-self (anātman) and liberation through non-attachment, impermanence, and emptiness.

Tai Kwun Contemporary presents Stay Connected: Supplying the Globe, the second chapter of Stay Connected: Art and China Since 2008. More than 70 artworks from over 40 participating artists re-examine China’s role as the world’s centre for the production and logistics that sustain modern life. They give insights into the individual stories, family histories, and lesser-seen places impacted by globalisation and by China’s unprecedented economic growth in recent decades. 

The artworks in Supplying the Globe are presented in four thematic sections that highlight subjects including ecological footprints, depictions of labour (including artistic work), networks of exchange, and the global realignments brought by the transnational flows of people, materials, and ideas. 

Throughout the exhibition period, Tai Kwun Contemporary will hold cross-disciplinary activities, including a symposium, curatorial talks, and the launch of a companion publication produced in collaboration with Asia Art Archive. 

Alisan Atelier is delighted to present Wandering Mindscape, the debut Hong Kong solo exhibition of emerging contemporary artist Zhang Xiaoli. Opening on 28 February 2026, the reception inaugurates the year-long celebration of Alisan Fine Arts’ 45th anniversary.

Featuring about a dozen recent works, the exhibition showcases Zhang’s meticulous fine painting technique (gongbi) in landscapes set within surreal and imagined spaces. Her compositions incorporate playful game-related motifs, including her well-known Lego and Boxseries, alongside references to chess, the Rubik’s Cube, and labyrinths. Together, her work reframes of the classical literati pursuit of 'wandering in the mind,' echoing the gallery’s anniversary theme, 'Then and Now'.

“Profound Impressions: The Art of Liu Chunjie's Original Plates and Prints" is the first print-focused exhibition since the museum's relocation, following the 2017 exhibition "Evolving Images: Modern Hong Kong Printmaking." It is also this year's "Sun Delight" programme. Titled "Profound Impressions", the exhibition alludes both to the force embedded in every carved mark on the woodblock, and to the artist's deep contemplation and relentless exploration into the essence of art. Sun Museum aims to offer audiences in Hong Kong — a tropical coastal city in southern China — a chance to experience the vastly different northern landscapes and rural scenery, as well as the pure, serene, lyrical, and passionate beauty of the black soil of the north, expressed through the artist's bold style.

Artist Jay Lau, an artist-in-residence at the Hong Kong Visual Arts Centre (vA!), drew inspiration from the history of Victoria Barracks – the former site of Hong Kong Park. Beginning with Cassels Block, a Grade I historic building that now houses vA!, he constructed a parallel reality in which its long-lost "twin" building, Birdwood Block, had never been demolished.

The exhibition employs "incising" as a method to probe historical archives and images, transforming their cracks into new narratives. Drawing on archival photos of the old barracks as a foundation, Lau applied image-editing software and AI generation technology to fabricate scenes of Birdwood Block across various timeframes, transforming them into a series of prints and installations dispersed throughout vA!'s space. This invites visitors on a journey to rediscover the forgotten past of this historic building, to imagine the infinite possibilities at pivotal moments in history, and to provoke reflection on the nature of historical truth.

Venue address: Public Area on 1 – 5/F of the Hong Kong Visual Arts Centre (vA!), Hong Kong Visual Arts Centre

Lee Bul (South Korean, born 1964) is one of the most prominent contemporary artists to emerge from Asia in recent decades. Lee Bul: From 1998 to Now is a comprehensive survey of her career to date, featuring major works from the artist’s studio and collections across Asia and beyond.

The exhibition at M+ unfolds in three comprehensive sections that span the artist’s career. It opens with an immersive open landscape, featuring iconic architectural installations from Lee’s Mon grand récit series (2005–ongoing). These complex works encourage visitors to reflect on the grand narratives of the modernist project and the aesthetics of failed utopias. This section also includes a selection of two-dimensional works from the Untitled (Willing To Be Vulnerable—Velvet) and Perdu series (2016–ongoing). The second chapter presents examples of Lee’s groundbreaking Cyborg and Anagram series from the late 1990s and early 2000s, which first brought her international acclaim. Combining wide-ranging references from critical theory, art history, and science fiction, these striking works explore entwined ideas of figuration, gender, and beauty in an increasingly technological world. The final section, evoking an artist’s studio, features a constellation of drawings, sketches, and maquettes, revealing how Lee conceptualises and realises her artworks.

Para Site is pleased to launch its thirtieth-anniversary programmes with ‘Site-seeing’, anexhibition that revisits and responds to the institution’s foundational 1996 exhibition of the same name, on view from 14 March to 14 June 2026. Re-engaging with its core questions, ‘Site-seeing’ explores how urban space, memory, and art-making have evolved within today’s global cities.

The exhibition brings together nine artists and artist groups from the Asia Pacific regionand beyond, including Tolia Astakhishvili (b. 1974, Tbilisi), Heman Chong (b. 1977, Muar), Covey Gong (b. 1994, Changsha), Ko Sin Tung (b. 1987, Hong Kong), NawinNuthong (b. 1993, Bangkok), Anna Sew Hoy (b. 1976, Auckland), Bo Wang and Lu Pan (based in Amsterdam and Hong Kong), Tianyi Zheng (b. 1995, Wuhan), and Stella Zhong(b. 1993, Shenzhen).

Through commissioned and recent works spanning installations, moving images, andsculptures, ‘Site-seeing’ expands upon the original exhibition’s conceptual investigations. Featuring a generation of artists born between the 1970s and 1990s, their workscollectively address the complexities of near-constant redevelopment that define much of contemporary urban life. By placing Hong Kong in dialogue with neighboring and distant cities, the works probe into the myriad of public and private interests that drive urban change, staging the city as a space shaped by regulation and alienation. Simultaneously, however, many of the works attend to the moments of wonder, humor, and meaning that persist within the cracks of the built environment.

Alisan Fine Arts is honoured to present our second solo exhibition of Fang Zhaoling (1914–2006), one of the most important female artists of the 20th century, as a key exhibition celebrating the gallery’s 45th anniversary this year. Deeply rooted in ink painting, Fang studied under Zhang Daqian (1899-1983), a towering master of modern ink art, and also apprenticed with Zhao Shao-ang (1905-1998), a leading representative of the second generation of the Lingnan School. Inspired by these predecessors, Fang developed a highly individual freehand language—approaching Abstract Expressionism in its vigour—across a wide range of subjects.

The exhibition presens over 20 works from the height of Fang’s career (1970s–1990s), including landscapes, bird-and-flower paintings, figures, animals and calligraphy, most being shown for the first time.

Double Q is delighted to announce Luca Sára Rózsa's second solo exhibition at the gallery, scheduled to open in March during Art Basel Hong Kong 2026.

Luca Sára Rózsa (b. 1990, Hungary) analyses the complex relationship between mankind and his environment. Her figures, taken from the Bible and mythology, are often shown in a natural setting in line with the representational portraiture of the Renaissance and the baroque. Placed within a utopian, dreamlike landscape of solitude, her figures are forced to face their own anxieties stemming from the eternity of the world. As the artist describes it, “The figures in my paintings are mammals who have eaten from the Tree of Knowledge and have been expelled from Paradise. They are fully exposed to their fate, facing it either with resignation or hope.”

Opening Reception: 18 March, 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm

The inaugural exhibition, Cian Dayrit: A Country, A Body, marks the Filipino artist’s first solo show in Hong Kong. Dayrit’s practice is at its core community focused, and opens the conversation between Cheng-Lan’s Corner and Hong Kong’s public through the exploration of themes of land, power and identity that resonate deeply with the city's own history.

One of the most incisive voices of his generation, Manila-based artist Cian Dayrit takes the Philippines as a lens to examine the systematic control entrenched in our built environment. This presentation brings together a focused selection of recent works that fuses anthropology and speculative storytelling to examine the legacies of colonialism, land extraction and the transfer of power through textiles, paintings, drawings and sculpture. Drawing on archival research and collaborations with rural and Indigenous communities, his works incorporate historical maps, military iconography, botanical imagery and vernacular materials to explore histories of displacement, labour and resistance.

Vietnamese-American artist Dinh Q. Lê was a distinguished artist in photography, film and installation and is considered one of Vietnam's most significant contemporary artists. His practice challenges how our memories are recalled and how society archives the evidence of human suffering. Lê's work elucidates his commitment to the artistic process as a means of excavating history and the uncovering and revealing of alternate ideas of loss and redemption. As a child of the war and a migrant to the USA, his work was shaped by the lens of finding his identity through his individual and his country’s collective experience. Lê returned to Vietnam in 1993 and stayed until the sudden end of his life in 2024. Lê’s series of photo-weavings was initiated by his search of his real and imagined memories of the Vietnam war. His complex tapestries intertwine Vietnam movie images, found photographs and Buddhist icons to weave together his personal memories and how the war was perceived by the outside. His works have been exhibited at and/or collected by institutions worldwide including the MoMA, the Tate Modern, The Mori Museum, The Carnegie International, the Venice Biennale, the San Francisco MoMa, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the San Jose Museum of Art and M+ in Hong Kong, among many others.

One of the central values of contemporary art resides in its capacity to reflect upon and respond to the conditions of our existential environment. In our current era, material production under the logic of capitalism does more than merely shape the form of social commodities; it permeates human temporal perception and existential awareness, tethering the experience of living to concepts of consumption, labor, and utility.

The exhibition Infinitesimal Time, Monumental Matter: Scales of Existence takes the concepts of "matter" and "time" as its point of departure. Featuring nine artists from diverse cultural backgrounds, the exhibition unfolds across three distinct yet interconnected chapters, presenting a visual discourse on the essence of being. From the consumerist surface of material production to the reshaping of existence through repetitive labor and temporal homogeneity, the journey ultimately leads toward the possibility of nature as an alternative scale of existence. Through the dialectic between "infinitesimal time" (fragmented individual time) and "monumental matter" (material carriers imbued with meaning), the exhibition re-examines the values and boundaries of human existence.

Paper cuttings have long fascinated viewers with their expressive storytelling and extraordinary precision. For the first time, Swiss paper cuttings from the Wyss Collection (Unterseen, Bern) are being juxtaposed with Chinese paper cuttings from the collection of the University Museum and Art Gallery, The University of Hong Kong, along with works from the Guangling Paper Cutting Art Museum and the Jieyiyuan Paper Cutting Art Center, Pingyao, both located in Shanxi province. The aim of the exhibition is to highlight the diversity and distinctive cultural identities of this fascinating art form. In 2009, Chinese paper cutting was added to UNESCO’s Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. To highlight the significance of this craft spanning both cultures, two parallel exhibitions will be held in spring 2026, at the University Museum and Art Gallery and the Kunsthaus Interlaken (22 February–17 May 2026).

Swiss paper cuttings are primarily narrative works. From the mid-19th century onwards, they replaced the popular shadow pictures known as silhouettes, with a particular focus on Alpine life. Swiss paper cuttings function as condensed narrative microcosms, each distinguished by striking and subtle variations in their repertoire of figures, forms, and designs. Cut from black paper and arranged largely symmetrically, Swiss paper cuttings feature a wealth of ornamentation and an incredible density of detail that invites viewers to discover and linger. Thanks to the cooperation of the Wyss Collection this exhibition will feature works by pioneers such as Johann Jakob Hauswirth and Louis Saugy; traditional cuttings by David Regez and Christian Schwizgebel; and contemporary constructions from Ueli Hofer, Martha Kneusslin, Nelly Naef, Ernst Oppliger, Bruno Weber, and others.

There’s an unmistakable pull when Sin Sin discovered the striking black & white photography works by Jay Khan. The way he framed what’s out there to bring forth the delicate details, the angle he maneuvered, the contrast and balance he mixed. All the more fascinating that Jay’s official profession is actually Head Mixologist of COA, the groundbreaking cocktail bar in Hong Kong that he co-founded, which consistently named to the Asia’s Best Bars list.

Inspired by the geometric poetry of Fan Ho and the nocturnal intimacy of Brassaï, Jay is able to find the still and tranquil moments in the chaotic scenes of Hong Kong: Like a fisherman standing and waiting quietly on the street, he watches the flow of light and shadow, lingering in the city’s movement to capture the ephemeral beauty of real.

Grieve the Departed Wound is a performative milieu where the boundary between spectator and performer dissolves. Within this environment of movement-making and memory-retrieval, visitors are invited to drift through the physical and conceptual debris of performance, becoming part of the very entanglement they came to witness.

Through a lens of liminality, the exhibition seeks a rhythmic relationship between the scenography of Serafin’s two projects: "Cosmological Gangbang" and "Lost Ancestors". Using the material agency of reconstructed installations, videos, and paintings infused with the artist’s physical traces and past performances, the gallery is transformed into a vessel. It reconfigures the agency of darkness, stillness, body, and time, turning objects into witnesses

This March, coinciding with Art Basel Hong Kong 2026, Art Intelligence Global is pleased to present “THE UNCANNY” at our Hong Kong gallery.

Bringing together significant works by Yayoi Kusama, Robert Gober, Louise Bourgeois, among others, the exhibition examines how artists have engaged with the psychological concept of the uncanny. Through distortions of the body, the domestic sphere, and technology, these works dislocate the familiar to reveal submerged memories, desires, and anxieties.

Opening Reception: March 24, 2026 | 5PM – 8PM

How can we learn to nurture sensibility? How do we care for each other and bear sorrow together? How might we begin to heal ourselves and the world around us? In a time of rapid change, this exhibition invites you to slow down, engage with the work of 14 artists from across Asia, and turn inwards.

Textiles have always been inseparable from our spiritual life. They appear in rituals and ceremonies, accompanying people through the cycles of life and death, joy and sorrow, parting and reunion. They also move with us every day, gently connecting our inner world and the spaces we inhabit. Passed from generation to generation, the acts of weaving, dyeing and stitching form a tactile language of memory, emotion, belief and imagination – both personal and collective.

Here, we explore textiles as living pathways that intertwine into spiritual maps. They weave threads between people and place, ancestors and ecologies, the visible and the unseen, softness and strength, while opening up futures and possibilities of living, relating, and caring for the world.

DEVEDO is pleased to present Chinese artist Siqi Qin's first solo exhibition in Hong Kong, featuring two of her iconic series: the Human Aesthetics and Flowers.

Human Aesthetics was inspired by Robert Mapplethorpe. Siqi portrays the body's ultimate beauty—sometimes sculptural and still, other times dynamic and fluid. Her refined approach to composition and light recalls the classic nudes of Bill Brandt and Edward Weston.

Flowers focus on blooms such as roses and anthuriums, which quietly bloom within the exhibition space. Her sensitive mastery of composition achieves a balance between restraint and tenderness, presenting a poetic vision of nature's beauty. Inspired by Georgia O'Keeffe and photographer Nobuyoshi Araki, Siqi brings together floristry and photography to construct a narrative of emotion that is both gentle and charged with tension.

Time: 2-7 pm (Wednesday-Saturday, By Appointment)

"Beyond the Ordinary – Contemporary Book Art" is Print Art Contemporary’s thematic exhibition for 2026. Through the career stories of eight retired professional master printers, the exhibition introduces movable-type printing, an official part of Hong Kong’s Intangible Cultural Heritage, and foregrounds the four major processes of typesetting, printing, cutting and binding. The exhibition also explores how the concept of the book in contemporary art can transcend the formal constraints of binding and paper and encompass a range of media. Visual artists Lau Ka-chun, Li Xiao-qiao, Percy So and Dana Shek, as well as writers Wong Yi and Nicholas Wong, and stage lighting designer Lau Ming-hang, use their works to examine the current state of linguistic and textual dysfunction and reimagine the role of the printed text alongside the growing influence of AI.

Growing up in the United States and Europe, and currently living and working in China, Etsu Egami experienced various communication barriers she encountered as a result of her cross-cultural residence. She felt that languages can “only be sensed, not explained”, thus becoming more interested in the discipline of language and communication. Etsu’s works are comprised of various mediums, such as voice, video, and drawings, through which she strives to question human instincts and the authenticity of communication. Estu’s perceptive contemporary pieces have led her to receive high praise from the art sector. Curator of Pompidou art centre Julie Jones describes Egami as an artist who “sees all these specificities as a source, not only of misunderstanding but also of creation and richness in people’s relationships.” Chinese curator Feng Bo Yi also summarized Etsu’s creation as being “about the concept and the significance of ‘communication’. Through the paintings and videos which embody these mishearing games, as well as the evolution of times, the clashes between civilisations, we acquire a discourse on the barriers in language communications, and subsequently even trigger a crisis.”

wamono art will present SIDE CORE’s “under city” in Hong Kong for the first time.

SIDE CORE is a Tokyo-based art collective active since 2012. Members Sakie Takasu, Tohru Matsushita, and Taishi Nishihiro work with video director Kazunori Harimoto. Grounded in the ideas and histories of street culture, SIDE CORE’s practice asks how individuals can communicate—and leave traces—in urban and public space. Their projects often involve collaborators from other fields, resulting in works that emerge from the city’s blind spots, gaps, and overlooked infrastructures.

The exhibition’s central theme is “urban underground spaces.” For “under city,” SIDE CORE filmed rarely accessible sites such as massive underground reservoirs, disused water treatment facilities, and abandoned subway stations. While recent technological advances have made cities increasingly digitized and “visible,” many subterranean environments remain unknown or difficult to grasp. The work follows skaters moving through these underground spaces, then edits the footage into a continuous sequence—stitching separate locations into a single “virtual underground city.” The project brings together multiple lenses: skateboarding as a way of reading Tokyo’s underground, alongside geology and disaster preparedness, technology and urban theory, as well as urban legends and fiction. Japanese street skater Takahiro Morita participates through skate video production company “FESN”, performing in the work and directing skate sequences.

What is it like to live, sense, and feel as a mushroom? Over the past year, Zheng Mahler conducted extensive research on their local home island of Lantau, and encountered thirty-eight distinct species of mushrooms. After photographing and compiling their findings, they produced a unique dataset and fed it into a custom AI model — critiquing and simultaneously expanding AI's dearth of knowledge around mushrooms in connection with the Western world's fear of fungi, and to generate new, speculative mushroom species. The project likens the rhizomatic and seemingly infinitely generative nature of mushrooms to emergent AI systems and posits we understand each through the other. At the same time, it invites us to consider our preoccupations with generative qualities of 'fruiting bodies' and consider the responsive, cultivating qualities of 'network' inputs.

For their solo show at PHD Group, “Mushroom Clouds,” Zheng Mahler will build a large-scale living, breathing terrarium which simulates the biodiverse ecosystems on Lantau Island, complete with plants and fungi. Within this terrarium, a dense cloud of fog occasionally forms as a reaction to systems of water, heat, and growth, in which projections of AI-hallucinated mushrooms appear, creating a ghostly display of Lantau fungi. A series of drawings of a number of fungi species found on Lantau and used in the AI dataset appears around the gallery space for visitors to similarly encounter and be guided through this immersive, unpredictable and expansive exhibition.

Opening: 21 March 1-7pm

Axel Vervoordt Gallery is pleased to present Asteroid J-734, a solo exhibition by Jaffa Lam at its Hong Kong space. Following her recent participation in the Shanghai Biennale, this presentation expands the artist’s longstanding engagement with material, community, and storytelling. Bringing together new works developed across a range of mediums—including ceramics shaped during her residency in Longquan, China, as well as ongoing fabric and window installations—Asteroid J-734 forms an interconnected constellation of materials and forms that move fluidly between the monumental and the intimate. In this new body of work, Lam invites viewers into a world both deeply personal and profoundly connected to the environments and people that surround her.

MAYAO is pleased to announce ZHU Tao’s solo exhibition 《20260321》. Join us at the opening reception from 4:30 - 6:30 PM on 21 March, to regain the original purpose of ‘arriving’ in an era increasingly marked by disorientation. Below is an excerpt by the curator:

One afternoon in December 2025, I visited Zhu Tao and had the privilege of seeing all of his manuscripts. I remember sitting in his study that day, looking through them one by one. Time seemed to freeze at a certain moment that afternoon. My body was in a small village somewhere in Tai Mei Tuk, Hong Kong, and the sky outside gradually darkened. Yet those vivid images carried me to different places. These images are the footprints of Zhu Tao.

We chose the exhibition opening date—20260321—as the title of the exhibition, to represent the number of steps he has taken. These steps are not empty data; they are the traces of a person using his own body to experience different spaces and landscapes. In Zhu Tao’s manuscripts, what I see is not merely scenery, but cities with different temperaments and atmospheres. One feels present within them. I can almost smell those places: Venice soaked in sunlight, rain-drenched Kyoto, the wind-blown landscapes of Qinghai beneath a blazing sun, and Greece where the air carries the salt of the sea and the wind is filled with its scent.

WKM Gallery is pleased to present “HKG-TYO 1974-2023,” a solo exhibition by Canadian photographer Greg Girard (b. 1955, Canada). Known for his intimate, cinematic documentation of the social and physical transformations in major East Asian cities over the past four decades, the current exhibition juxtaposes two of Girard’s second homes, Hong Kong and Tokyo, during their respective eras of industrialization and growth.

Guided by an undying investigative curiosity and appreciation of the overlooked, Girard’s lush, enchanting, and at times melancholy compositions offer a point of access to the euphoria and growing pains that eventually came to shape Hong Kong and Tokyo as we know them today, becoming time capsules that point simultaneously toward the present and the future.

When Antenna Space celebrated a tenth anniversary just a couple short years ago, the world was in a weirdly fragmented state. We called the exhibition “Horizons,” after the hypothetical event horizon of an expanding cosmos, the place from which no signal could ever be received; we speculated that hope was our lone defense against the impossible—a protest against the infinite.

Today, the world remains fragmented, perhaps even more so than it was in those strange, post-pandemic days, when travel was again possible but the urge to connect felt like a distant memory. We see our technical networks breaking into closed circuits, China building and exporting a global alternative, Europe planning its own civic social networks, the United States a chaotic morass held together by the thin glue of fascism and artificial intelligence. For the first time in living memory, we are living in a truly multipolar world.

Foretold by classical feng shui and Asian astrology, this new era marks a cosmic shift from the element of Earth to Fire—symbols of volatility and upheaval—signaling an urgent call to restore water as a vital counterbalance: an agent of care, adaptability, and healing. In this spirit, during Hong Kong Arts Month, PODIUM is delighted to present 'Amour Aquatique'—a group exhibition that pulses with the tensions of presence and absence, attachment and release, drawing viewers into the ebb and flow of aquatic love—at once universal and deeply intimate. Drifting through the protean forms of water as metaphors for the fluidity of love, grief, nostalgia, and memory, this exhibition brings together five artists, including Fran Chang, Omyo Cho, Soyoung Chung, Minouk Lim, and Luis Xertu, whose works are inspired by the continuous cycles of looping, evaporating, pooling, eroding, and flowing, wading into the liminal spaces where personal and political waters entangle.

For the past two decades, the internationally renowned art collective Slavs and Tatars have devoted themselves to a specific regional remit – which they define as ‘east of the former Berlin Wall and west of the Great Wall of China’ – comprising nearly a fifth of the Earth’s landmass. This expansive geography, like the collective’s name itself, serves as a rebuff (if not resistance) to reductive questions of identity plaguing the right and the left across the globe today. Their sculptures, books, installations and lecture performances celebrate a multilingualism and multiconfessionalism that make the otherwise daunting metaphysical inquiry – Who are you? – more joyful, irreverent and, alas, fluid.

For their first solo exhibition in Hong Kong – titled 胡 (هو / who) are you? – Slavs and Tatars bring together works across different media that dance merrily around the idea of being and belonging. The presentation includes newly commissioned works from their Love Me Love Me Not series (2014), which features four cities whose names (and their respective alphabets) have fluctuated according to which empire, nation or ruler they belonged. Concrete sculptures resembling road signs – Not Berlin Not Bukhara and Not Bahamas Not Baghdad – refuse to commit to a given destination. Each work highlights a choice between the spiritual/sacred (Bukhara is known as the fourth-holiest city in Islam after Mecca, Medina and Jerusalem) and the secular (Berlin’s Berghain or the Bahama’s beaches, to start); but the artists choose not to choose.

THE SHOPHOUSE is pleased to present the group exhibition House of Dissociation, featuring eleven artists: Alice Cheng Chau Yung, Chris Oh, Shuo Phoebe Li, Lassi Kontiainen, Shi Zheng, Tang Kwong San, Takuya Otsuki, Tao Siqi, Wang Xingyun, Yu Shuk Pui Bobby, and Yutaka Nozawa, featuring a series of paintings on canvas and paper, video, sculpture, and interactive site-specific installation across the entire gallery building. The exhibition opens on March 21 and runs until May 10.

House of Dissociation posits that identity itself is a permeable architecture, where rooms of memory, emotion, and perception drift apart and reassemble in unexpected configurations.The exhibition invites viewers to navigate, inhabit, or immerse themselves in the fractured layers of the self and the world—to find resonance in the echo between what is held together and what falls away. Here, fragmentation is not a flaw, but a generative principle. The familiar—a chair, a voice, a scene—is rendered unfamiliar, not to alienate, but to reveal the latent possibilities within our own perception. In this era of disintegration, we experience dissociation and the collapse of perceptions. Thereafter, the hope of rediscovering meaning lies not in rigid stability, but in the fluid, adaptive rhythm of a consciousness that learns to dwell within its own multiplicity.

Ben Brown Fine Arts is pleased to announce Les Lalanne: A Living Landscape, a comprehensive exhibition of the celebrated artistic duo Claude and François-Xavier Lalanne, presented at the gallery’s Hong Kong space in conjunction with Art Basel Hong Kong 2026. Conceived as an imagined garden, the exhibition invites visitors into an immersive environment where art, nature and imagination converge.

The exhibition draws directly from the Lalannes’ environment. Their home in Ury, France, was a place of constant activity, where family life, animals and craftsmen shared the courtyard and art was inseparable from everyday existence. The house functioned as a working studio, while the surrounding gardens became a living museum. Gardens were particularly central to Claude’s practice – carefully shaped spaces of controlled wildness, where vegetation was allowed to flourish freely yet deliberately, animated her sculpture. This fusion of nature and art, cultivation and imagination forms the conceptual core of A Living Landscape.

Jutta Koether, born in Cologne, lives and works in Berlin and New York. Since the 1980s, she has been developing an alternative genealogy and practice of painting that have decisively shaped the current understanding of the medium. She programmatically connects her painting to performance, music, and textual production, and works and worked in collaborative projects with Reena Spaulings, Tom Verlaine, Steven Parrino, John Miller, Tony Conrad, and Kim Gordon, among others.

Koether's work was the subject of a comprehensive survey exhibition at the Museum Brandhorst in Munich and the Mudam in Luxembourg in 2018 and 2019. Other exhibitions of her work have been held at Artium Museoa in Vitoria-Gasteiz (2022), Museum Abteiberg in Mönchengladbach (2019), Dundee Contemporary Arts (2013), Moderna Museet in Stockholm (2011), Van Abbemuseum in Eindhoven (2009), and Kunsthalle Bern (2009). Her works are in collections of international museums, such as the Museum of Modern Art and Whitney Museum of American Art in New York, Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles, Berlin National Gallery, Museum Brandhorst in Munich, Museum moderner Kunst Stiftung Ludwig Vienna, Museum Ludwig Cologne, and Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam.

Zheng Zhou (b. 1969, China) is a painter of instinct, conveying onto canvas observations from the world, as ad hoc as they may be. His strokes, furtive yet decisive, depict an urgency to grasp that mesmeric multitude of the cosmos, the ‘phenomena’ we, or more precisely he, is a witness to. Referencing ‘I Ching’ (“The Book of Changes”), Zheng channels the astronomical, remarking the myriad of components that make up our universe, mimicking its duplicity through his subject range, hues and techniques.

Opening: Mon, 23 March, 6 – 8 PM

Wei Gallery is pleased to present an upcoming exhibition exploring the cultural memory woven into Persian carpets.

For centuries, carpets have been more than decorative objects. They are vessels of stories, symbols, and history — carrying the visual language of a civilisation across generations. Bringing together 20 rare carpets, the exhibition traces how Persian visual traditions travelled across regions through the networks of the Silk Road, shaping artistic languages far beyond their place of origin.

Pearl Lam is pleased to present 'Bearing the Unseen', a solo exhibition featuring works by Shanghai-based artist Qiu Anxiong, on view from 23 March to 30 May at our Hong Kong gallery.⁠
⁠
'Bearing the Unseen' presents a new body of paintings that imagine a utopian natural world inhabited by displaced animals and human figures, addressing our fractured relationship with nature and our enduring desire to control it.⁠
⁠
The word 'Bearing' carries multiple layers of meaning- to hold, to endure, to bear witness, and to strive for control or possession, all gestures linked to human agency and burden. In contrast, 'the Unseen' refers to what lies beyond ordinary perception, inviting us to question our beliefs and to see the world anew. Through Qiu’s poetic vision, animals, once silent sufferers, emerge as profound witnesses to human exploitation, reflecting both our folly and our shared destiny.⁠

Co-commissioned by M+ and Art Basel, and presented by UBS, Shahzia Sikander’s 3 to 12 Nautical Miles (2026) is a radiant cinematic tableau, animated from hand-painted images, navigates the enduring currents of power and trade that have shaped the global landscape from the nineteenth century to the modern era. The work will be shown on the M+ Facade every night from Monday, 23 March to Sunday, 21 June 2026. The commission marks the fifth consecutive year of collaboration between M+ and Art Basel, presented by UBS, in activating the M+ Facade.

In '3 to 12 Nautical Miles', Sikander traces the entangled histories of empire, trade, and maritime power that linked the British East India Company, Mughal India, and Qing China. This animation charts the decline of Mughal authority under Akbar II, the internal strains of the Qing dynasty, and the East India Company’s rise from commercial venture to territorial power. Within this context, the work interrogates Britain’s opium cultivation in India, its coercive trade with China, and the First Opium War, exposing the mechanisms of imperial extraction and the deep power asymmetries between Britain and China at the time.

White Cube is pleased to present a concurrent two-city exhibition of new works by renowned Ghanaian sculptor El Anatsui. Timed to coincide with Art Basel Hong Kong, the exhibition debuts new sculptural installations from his celebrated ‘bottle top’ series, created in his Accra studio using locally sourced discarded bottle caps. These shimmering, meticulously assembled works reflect Anatsui’s ongoing engagement with material transformation, global exchange and the shifting histories embedded in everyday objects.

Tang Contemporary Art Hong Kong is pleased to present “Crab,” a solo exhibition by renowned Chinese artist Yue Minjun. The exhibition traces back his artistic journey over the past three decades, systematically showcasing his major series, while unveiling new works that expand his distinctive visual language. Yue Minjun’s artistic practice does not follow a linear path; instead, it moves sideways like a crab — shifting across mediums, repeatedly returning to specific motifs, when maintaining tension among multiple directions. The exhibition “Crab” names this nonlinear, non-unidirectional creative structure, metaphorising how the artist “walks on multiple legs” to break free from a singular perspective, thus, examining artistic creation and social reality through multidimensional exploration.

Since the early 1990s, Yue Minjun has established a highly recognisable visual language through his exaggerated, yet closed laughing figures. This “laugh” has been reproduced and interpreted continuously in the global context, nearly becoming his personal signature. However, focusing solely on the smiling face risks overlooking a more crucial structural trait in his work: a flow of thinking that rejects linear progression and travels sideways like a crab.

MASSIMODECARLO is pleased to present A Grass Roof, Lily Stockman's first exhibition in Hong

Kong. Stockman takes her title from an eighth-century poem by the Tang Dynasty Buddhist master Shitou Xiqian, whose Song of the Grass Roof Hermitage makes an audacious claim: "though the hut is small, it includes the entire world." The six new paintings test whether paint might do the same thing. Exploring the phenomenological proposition at the heart of Shitou's poem - where the protagonist dissolves into perceived space through portals of color and permeable boundaries - Stockman's canvases collapse the distinction between interior refuge and infinite expanse. Can a painting contain everything?

The works unfold in a narrow palette of blues and greens - frames nesting within frames, organic shapes blooming and receding, scumbled outlines and slivered shadows creating what Stockman describes as a "permeability" between self and spaciousness.

Opening Reception: Tuesday, March 24, 6-8pm The artist will be present

David Zwirner is pleased to present Pearl Lines, an exhibition of new paintings by New York–based artist Walter Price (b. 1989). Price is known for his richly vibrant paintings and drawings, which bypass strict allegiances to representational or abstract modes. His canvases and works on paper not only experiment freely with color, line, and space but also reveal emphatic shifts in perspective, suggesting scenes and imagery that the artist ultimately leaves for viewers to absorb and contemplate on their own.

This is Price’s first solo exhibition in Asia, and his second with the gallery since he joined David Zwirner in 2024. Price’s work is also included in the 2025–2026 group exhibition MONUMENTS, co-organized and co-presented by The Brick and the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, and curated by Hamza Walker, Kara Walker, and Bennett Simpson.

Opening Reception: Tuesday, March 24, 3–7 PM

Nicole Eisenman’s ‘Fallen Angels,’ as the title suggests, is the artist’s most down-to-earth show in years. Comprising eleven recent paintings and three sculptures, the exhibition narrows the field of vision to three sites of middle-class living: home, work, beach. Nearly all of the paintings are easel-sized, while two of the sculptures (made with a table and a chair, respectively, from Eisenman’s studio) feel like accidental readymades, even ex situ. The contraction of scale and contemplative tone stands in contrast to Eisenman’s reputation for crowded tableaux and picaresque social scenes, but the work is no less demanding. Here, figures linger, hesitate, repeat themselves; time settles into familiar spaces. The ambition lies not in spectacle but in attention, in the difficulty of staying with what is close at hand. The first two sites—home and work—have collapsed into each other. The third offers no escape. 

One of these works is not like the others. ‘Fallen Angels’ (2025), the painting that gives the show its title, looks like an alternate movie poster for Wong Kar-wai’s 1995 neo-noir. At first, it seems out of place amid the quiet representations of home and work life, but once you remember that Kar-wai shot the film entirely at night, you realize it’s key to the meaning of the whole exhibition. Look through the window or up at the sky in nearly any of these paintings, and you’ll see it immediately. For Eisenman, the world outside is dark and getting darker.

DE SARTHE is pleased to announce Jack Tworkov 1900-1982: Pioneer of Abstract Expressionism – A Survey, an exhibition of key works by the influential American painter from the late 1940s to early 1980s, organized with the support of the Estate of Jack Tworkov, Van Doren Waxter, and major US and Asian collectors. Marking this historically significant artist’s first major retrospective in Asia, the exhibition follows the evolution of his practice, characterized by the artist’s disposition toward creative fluidity and shifting identities, with a focus on the years in which he played a pioneering role in the Abstract Expressionist movement alongside peers including Willem de Kooning, Jackson Pollock, and Mark Rothko. On view from March 21st to May 9th, the exhibition offers a journey through history made via the eyes and hands of its maker.

Asia Society Hong Kong Center proudly presents Hung Hsien: Between Worlds, the first part of “Celebration of Ink” – a two-part series that celebrates the profound legacy and spirit of contemporary ink art.

93-year-old Hung Hsien (洪嫻, Margaret Chang) was born in Yangzhou, China in 1933, she moved to Taiwan in 1948, where she studied under revered scholar-painter Prince Pu Ru. She continued her studies at National Taiwan Normal University before relocating to the United States in 1958, where she engaged deeply with Abstract Expressionism, Surrealism, and other modernist movements while studying at Northwestern University and the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.

At VILLEPIN, we are delighted to present Ted Gahl’s quietly arresting world. His paintings hold that rare, suspended moment in which recollection becomes image, and image becomes feeling. We invite viewers to step into this atmosphere of roaming and return, to encounter works that are at once deeply personal and universally familiar. In witnessing Gahl’s practice, one is reminded of how we move through life: carrying an interior world across shifting landscapes, remaining grounded even as everything around us seems to blur and re form. We welcome you to experience these paintings, and to find within them traces of your own journey.

Flowers Gallery Hong Kong is pleased to announce Leviathan, marking the acclaimed

Scottish artist Ken Currie’s second solo exhibition in Asia. Presented in Sheung Wan, a district historically shaped by a maritime and trading past. Currie’s new paintings enter into a quiet dialogue with the area’s longstanding relationship to its harbours.

In this exhibition, Currie explores our human instinctual terror and fascination with the unknown, using what may be found when we look into the depths of real and imagined seas. Two new monumental oil paintings, Immemorial III (2024) and Leviathan (2024), portray colossal, fictitious sea beasts as they appear to charge up through dark waters.

Walk a city long enough, and you begin to forget the city itself. Body and street dissolve into one another. You instinctively know where to drift, linger, and retreat. Embodied experiences shed like dust, quietly accumulating to form the very fabric of the pavement.

The materials of the street hold silent layers of human traces, storing habits, behaviors, memories, and the subtle rhythms of coexistence. In the project Into the Fields, we approach the urban landscape as a field site embedded within the everyday. The project began with a collective wandering through Sai Ying Pun, bringing observations from the streets back into daily practice. By gathering these unclaimed fragments of consciousness, we allow them to ferment into a shared, yet unofficial history.

In this exhibition, packaging boxes are used as medium, their role is to protect products from damage. Merchants go to great lengths to dress them up, so that they can instantly catch the customer's eye, then pick them from the shelf amongst the wide range of brands. However, these boxes will eventually be discarded.

Boxes have their own place of origin, but relate to our lives. Have you remembered they once carried souvenirs from friends, daily stuffs and necessities... These looks chaotic fragments, bits and traces of daily life, piece together a unique life trajectory. In this project, through reconstruction of these boxes, their brilliance once again been seen in another way of seeing, and let's listen to the story of them and their master.

How can art forge connections with society, and through which strategies might artists build relationships and respond to our times? 

The Chinese title of the exhibition references the lyrics of the 1987 Cantopop song “共同渡過” (Walking Through Together), invoking the search for companions in moments of transition as a metaphor for the aims and energies of artistic intervention and community participation in participatory art practices. 

Featuring 4 Hong Kong artists from different generations - Ricky YEUNG Sau Churk, Phoebe MAN, MUDWORK, and Foreseen Agency (Shan WONG + Kachi CHAN) - the exhibition brings together socially engaged practice, community-based art, participatory and collaborative approaches, and artists acting as social agents, to cultivate relationships with diverse communities. Amidst the challenges and flux of our present time, this exhibition invites your active participation - To collectively explore and reimagine the forging of communities, while sensing, perceiving and understanding our world anew.

Halfway Up the Flag 2.0 – Punctum continues the previous exhibition Halfway Up the Flag, which examines the “bottleneck” experienced by those around the age of thirty as they navigate between life, work, and relationships.

Inspired by the concept of punctum proposed by Roland Barthes, the project adopts it as a method. Through shared activities and exchanges led by the project members themselves, members of the exhibition are moved by fragments of one another’s lives. These moments of encounter prompt a renewed way of seeing oneself and gradually loosen existing knots and impasses.

Gardens are arcadias for self-discovery, leisure havens for the ordinary people, stages of power for rulers, tasteful displays for wealthy merchants and spiritual homes for scholars. While the design and style of Chinese and Western gardens from ancient to modern times vary, they all reflect the core value of a garden: a serene retreat filled with natural beauty, where people can relax and reflect.

This exhibition is an unprecedented Hong Kong showcase of 106 selected paintings and artefacts from The Palace Museum in Beijing, the Art Institute of Chicago, the Palace of Versailles in France and the Hong Kong Museum of Art. Curated around a central theme of garden landscaping, activities in garden and appreciation of artworks inspired by garden culture, the exhibition takes the audience on a journey through the grand gardens of kings and nobles, including Emperor Qianlong of China and King Louis XIV of France. It also highlights romantic gardens portrayed by master artists like Claude Monet, Zhang Daqian and Wen Zhengming, to explore a stunning variety of gardens and the cultural significance behind their designs.

On the occasion of the French May Festival and the 150th anniversary of the Galerie Kraemer, a leading and longstanding presence in the art and antiques world on rue de Monceau in Paris for seven generations, Boogie Woogie Photography is proud to present a solo exhibition by Jacques Henri Lartigue (France, 1894–1986).

This special presentation offers a renewed glimpse into the artist's world, featuring two previously unseen large format prints of color diapositives of the 1970's alongside a dozen classical iconic platinum prints and vibrant color works. Lartigue, renowned for his dynamic photographs of Belle Époque life, car races, and elegant women, possessed a keen eye for capturing joy. Richard Avedon eloquently noted, Lartigue "photographed his own life," creating a dreamed, idealized vision where he consciously chose to Keep only the Sunshine.

Poet John Giorno (American, 1936–2019) initiated Dial-A-Poem in 1968 to bring poetry into everyday life. Believing that ‘much poetry is intended to be heard, not merely read’, he invited writers, artists, and musicians to contribute works that anyone could access by dialling a hotline. The project later evolved into a gallery installation of telephone sculptures, allowing visitors to listen to randomly selected readings.

In recent years, the project has expanded internationally. Versions developed in France, Mexico, and Brazil showcase works by local makers in their own languages. Dial-A-Poem Hong Kong features newly recorded readings in Cantonese, Mandarin, and English by approximately thirty local poets, including Bei Dao, Cao Shuying, Tim Tim Cheng, Chow Hon Fai, Derek Chung, Olivier Cong, Ho Fuk Yan, Hon Ki Chau, Huang Canran, Kitty Hung, Stuart Lau, Louise Law, Liu Wai Tong, Lok Fung, Luk Wing-yu, Isadora Neves Marques, Wong Hin Yan, Jennifer Wong, Nicholas Wong, Peace Wong, Sonia Wong, Xixi, Yam Gong, Yasi, Yau Ching, Eric Yip, and Zheng Danyi, and more. Visitors can listen to the poems via telephones in the Focus Gallery or by calling a local phone number.

Offscum unveils a futuristic, tech-driven convenience store designed by Cho Sum Yuet Shera, with interactive devices enabled by Cheng Lok Yi Tracy. The exhibition offers an immersive experience that imagines a near-future, posthuman era.

The work renders muscle pulsation – an instinctive, primal characteristic of the flesh. Amid the dependency and uncertain boundary between human and cyborg, the flesh becomes a vessel for observing contemporary society, guiding viewers to uncover primal desire and how it verges on madness under pressures of time, morality, and aesthetics.

With humour and satire, the exhibition reframes visual culture to expose social contradictions and shifting public narratives. Offscum examines corporeality, focusing on the transformative yet strained relationship between implantable technologies and the human body. Visitors will also engage with the evolving relationship between humans and artificial intelligence.

15 years ago, the 3.11 earthquake compelled me to showcase the beauty of Fukushima before the disaster — because what is beautiful is also fragile, and worth preserving. Including our own well-being. Together with like-minded partners, we formed Friends of Fukushima — raising over HKD 800,000 for affected communities through the sale of my artworks.

Fifteen years later — Breathing Landscapes is the return.
A decade of work created at the highest altitudes in Japan, China, and the United States. One question at its heart — where is home? Come and find your own answer.
Inside the exhibition, a special installation awaits — to be experienced alone. Each RSVP guest is allocated a private moment. Just you, the mountain, and your breath.

Ora-Ora’s HalluciNation group show brings together a lineup of seven innovative artists, featuring digital art, installation, sculpture, ink, and mixed media. This immersive presentation invites visitors to explore boundless realms of creativity, where curiosity sparks radical re-imaginings and openness unlocks new understandings. Artists included are as follows: Halley Cheng, Henry Chu, Huang Dan, Huang Yulong, Peng Jian, Nina Pryde, and Xiao Xu.

Ora-Ora asked its artists to imagine HalluciNation as a place—accent on "nation" to evoke a community of invention, shared beliefs, and values. Key values include unlimited imagination, vivacity, colourful energy, and limitless potential. It's a realm of joyous experimentation, cohesive narratives, radical re-imaginings, challenges, surprises, new visions, apparitions, daydreams, and understandings. The title draws inspiration from AI hallucinations, where systems fill gaps with false data, perceiving the unreal and fabricating facts.

Phantoms in Between brings together the works of seven Contemporary Japanese artists, exploring how reality is distorted, restructured and reimagined in the mind of the artist. This exhibition demonstrates how artists channel bold colors and forms to transmute myth, memory, and the mundane into a unique visual lexicon—broadening one's perception and understanding of contemporary Japanese art. Together, these pieces go beyond mere representation, challenging viewer’s ingrained grasp of reality: Kei Hiraga’s grotesque human comedy, Akio Ohmori’s bronze depictions of enigmatic, spirit-laden beings; Kazuyuki Takishita’s childlike apparitions; Mitsuko Kuroki's solemn yet psychedelic goddesses; Keiichi Tanaami's trauma forged into dazzling aquarium dioramas; REMA's faceless mermaids drifting between apocalyptic prophecy and social critique; and Rika Oshima's canvases imbued with quiet prayers for happiness. Each piece is a world of its own, and we invite you to step into this space and witness, together with us, these landscapes of the mind where reality and illusion converge.

Distance has never been merely a measurement of space.

In the city, we grow accustomed to a certain kind of proximity – shoulders brushing against shoulders, gaps between buildings folding into one another, moments stacking upon moments. Yet true distance often lies in the things that cannot be measured. They are close at hand, but we habitually rush past them.

Five artists, five ways of seeing the everyday. Unknowingly, they each excavate a poetic distance from the soil of the ordinary – familiar yet strange, minute yet vast. Everyday Distances is not an absence, but a way of seeing. When we are willing to stop, to draw our gaze closer or push it further away, to give ourselves a breath within the hurried rhythm of the city – the everyday ceases to be merely ordinary. It begins to speak.
