Hello! It’s me, Pollyanna again! I’ve recently noticed some people at the WMA exhibition space who seem to be imitating me! There are a few of them, and they’re kind of ‘malfunctioning’ in the same way I am. One moment they’re overflowing with positive energy and cheering so passionately. The next moment they’re each ‘leaking air’ in a corner somewhere.

They switch back and forth along that super thin line between hope and nope. After a deafening shout of ‘You’ve got this!’, they go back to the corner like their battery is in the red, so drained they even have to save their smiles. When hope becomes formulaic and encouragement becomes a performance, positive energy stops being a simple question of to cheer or not cheer. It starts revealing how this language of motivation is produced and received in real life, and how it can even become the starting point of despair.

After a series of investigations, I’ve already tracked down the dates and times when they will show up. You can drop by anytime during their appearance－whether you just want to quietly visit the exhibition, or want to be hit by a wave of positivity, or want to personally confirm whether they are a ‘cheer-up squad’ or a ‘deflate squad,’－stay for a few minutes, wander in and out, experience the exhibition in your own way, or even slip into the performance yourself.
Event Day 1: 28 Feb 2026 2pm-5pm Event Day 2: 15 Mar 2026 2pm-5pm Event Day 3: 26 Mar 2026 12pm-2pm Event Day 4: 25 Apr 2026 2pm-5pm

As the final weekend of ‘Muted Hums’ approaches soon, join us for ‘Sound Journey: Unmuting the Senses’. Hosted by multi-instrumentalist Kawa Wong, whose practicebridges music and mindfulness, this intimate session is designed to deepen yourconnection to the exhibition through sound.

Begin with a herbal tea and calming breathing exercise guided by tea ceremonialist SoniaLee, we invite you to attune your senses fully in the present and grounding ourselves with the surroundings.

Kawa will then guide a meditative listening journey through a unique soundscape inspiredby the exhibition’s theme. Using instruments such as the Indian bansuri flute, frame drum,and rav pan, he evokes the gentle rhythms of nature and murmurs of living beings. These sound vibrations and whispers create a therapeutic resonance, harmonising body and mind while deepening inward awareness.

• How do all things—vast as galaxies or small as bodies—move under the push and pull of inner and outer gravities?  

• Must one wander through distortion and darkness before hope can reappear?

Next Thursday and on a weekend in December, Guest Insights welcomes the re-debut of artist duo 'Chosen' for a performance responding to the exhibition ‘The Orbit of Hope’, articulating the works through a delicate weaving of bodily forms.

This enactment explores the dual polarities of existence, where the painstaking quest for peace conjures shifts in identity. On the border between the ephemeral instant and infinite cosmos, or within the present world’s dim, contorted, and conflicted expanse, how might one reorient life’s course through the planetary gaze?

The culmination invites all to a guided meditation and contemplative sharing, a still moment for reflection and collective breath. The artist collective 'Chosen' emerges from speculative fabulation and 'void punk' artist Holok Chen, alongside critic and Kohn dancer Gabriel Lee.

Session 1: 27 Nov 2025 (THU), 7:30 pm

Session 2: 20 Dec 2026 (SAT), 2:30 pm (Language: Cantonese)

Please, register in advance.

Over the past two months at Para Site’s 10/F space, Sam Lui has devoted her residency tothe  reflection and retelling of ‘Wendy’s Wok World’—a persona-driven project thatunpacks the  disciplinary world of wok-cooking alongside questions of purity, secrecy, andauthenticity. Through the Bad Purity Book Club and her studio research, Sam hascollected and deepened her conception of how authority and identity are performed,fractured, and concealed.

In this closing gathering, Sam is joined by Wendy, who rarely appears at the same time.When both are present in the same room—artist and persona, self and other—what kind ofdialogue emerges? What is purity to them, what secrets do they carry, and where doesauthenticity reside? Blending narratives, (auto)biographies, and performances, Saminvites us to witness these layered conversations take shape.

This gathering also marks the final day of Sam’s residency, a chance to bring togetherfriends and communities in celebration. Join us to close this chapter together.

Performance at 5:30pm

M+ at Night returns, bringing a brand-new lineup of featured artists to deliver a fresh music experience!

Life moves quickly. Pent-up feelings accumulate quietly like dust settling in the corners of our minds. If you can spare a moment, why not find a way to soothe your soul, care for your well-being, and simply enjoy a good time?

Titled M+ at Night: Good Times, the September edition of M+ at Night invites you to explore what self-care looks like through the lens of creativity. Inspired by the exhibition M+ Sigg Collection: Inner Worlds, this evening offers immersive experiences in yoga, ceramics, and music—each a pathway to healing and reflection. Step into a museum transformed into a sanctuary for emotional expression, where artists show us how they navigate joy, anger, sorrow, and everything in between. Ticketholders will also enjoy exclusive after-hours access to all galleries and exhibitions during the event.

As M+ at Night returns, get ready to redefine what it means to party your way!

Are you an introvert or an extrovert? A planner or someone who goes with the flow? When the lights dim and you’re given space to really be yourself, does any of it matter?

Titled ‘No Label Fits All’, the June edition of M+ at Night invites you to celebrate the diverse ways of partying and navigating a museum. Whether you’re recharging in a quiet corner of a gallery, striking up deep conversations about art or losing yourself on the dance floor, this evening is all about embracing your true self in all its complexity.

Ticketholders will also get exclusive access to visit all General Admission exhibitions after regular museum hours during the event.

To mark the closing of the exhibition ‘Take Turns’, artist Wing Po So will collaborate with Andio Lai in a live performance that brings the exhibition to a resonant conclusion.

The interplay of movements and sounds has been a core component throughout the exhibition, emerging from natural materials such as abalone shells, dried beans, and recordings of the processing of traditional medicinal materials. In this live performance, So will gather and extract sonic elements through movement and materials integral to her practice, engaging with both the displayed works and the surrounding exhibition space. Through audio recording and mixing, Lai will arrange, transmute, and fuse these sounds into a ‘sonic decoction’. The performance will unfold in three chapters: beginning with an introduction of the distinct sounds of materials induced by various motions, before evolving into a sonic exploration of different ranges and textures, and concluding with a participatory jam session.

Following the performance, Para Site and the artist will host a casual gathering to celebrate the closing of the exhibition. Light refreshments will be available. The event is free and open to all—no RSVP required.

Pablo Picasso once said that he spent his entire life learning to draw like a child. His works radiate a boundless sense of freedom and vitality emanating a raw, rebellious, unfiltered creative energy. Decades later, his legacy continues to shake up the way people see art. Inspired by the Special Exhibition The Hong Kong Jockey Club Series: Picasso for Asia—A Conversation, M+ at Night: Beyond the Frame will dive into Picasso’s legacy from a whole new perspective through art, music and dance. Ticketholders will also get exclusive access to visit this spectacular exhibition after regular museum hours during the event.

Empty Gallery and Artists Space are pleased to present Charlemagne Palestine live at Empty Gallery.

Charlemagne Palestine is an American composer, performer, and visual artist. Palestine has studied at New York University, Columbia University, Mannes College of Music, and the California Institute of the Arts. A contemporary of Philip Glass, Terry Riley, Phill Niblock, and Steve Reich, Palestine wrote intense, ritualistic music in the 1970s, intended by the composer to rub against Western audiences’ expectations of what is beautiful and meaningful in music. A composer-performer originally trained to be a cantor, he always performed his own works as soloist. His earliest works were compositions for carillon and electronic drones, and he is perhaps best known for his intensely performed piano works. Palestine’s performance style is ritualistic: he generally surrounds himself and his piano with stuffed animals, smokes large numbers of kretek, and drinks cognac.

Please RSVP to contact@emptygallery.com. This event is free and open to all, RSVP essential.

The performance will take place on the 18th floor, and the gallery will be open late with special hours until 10pm that day.

As part of the exhibition ‘The Embrace and the Passage’, Harmonic Flow is a participatory performance weaving immersive multimedia, body movement, and guided mindfulness meditation. Within an enclosed space shaped by a palette of shifting light and sound, the artist leads participants on an imaginative journey inspired by earthly elements, pondering over our role as temporary guests on this earth. Through navigation, interaction, andreflection, the performance offers a contemplative lens on our connections—to the world, to others, and ourselves, while prompting us to find footing amidst cycles of impermanence and transformation.

As part of ‘The Embrace and the Passage’, Florence Lam embarks on a journey from a contained space to the boundless ocean, reflecting on fertility, abortion, and host-guest dynamics from within.

Departing from her habitat at Para Site, the artist transitions to the coast for Ocean Birth, a continuation of her earlier work Maternal Water (2022). Fluid sustains the foetus within the womb but drowns it once detached; it reincarnates through cycles of contamination and purity; and it carries weight yet evaporates. Navigating between land and ocean, Lammanifests the duality of fluid through her body and various materials, signaling the possibility of transcendence.
