Vincent Fournier: Flora Incognita ASTROBOTANICAL HERBARIUM at La Galerie Paris 1839

  • La Galerie Paris 1839 (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

Imagine a parallel world, similar to our own Earth, but where the plant kingdom has evolved in entirely different ways. In this alternative universe — that of potentially habitable exoplanets — plants find their astrobotanical doubles, shaped by other magnetic, gravitational, and atmospheric forces. Flora incognita is this new uchronia proposed by Vincent Fournier: a speculative herbarium dedicated to the possible forms of plant life, at the crossroads of art and botany.  

With the collaboration of scientists from the Muséum national d’Histoire naturelle, the artist anchors fiction in reality. In the spring of 2025, at the Domaine des Étangs in France’s Limousin region, he transposes the site’s local flora onto the exoplanet Prima sidera to imagine its evolution.  

Reinterpreted through 3D technologies, this encyclopedic herbarium achieves an unprecedented photographic precision, in the lineage of the great naturalist iconographies, from Anna Atkins to Karl Blossfeldt.

Kwai Fung Hin Art Gallery is pleased to present the group exhibition A Ride in Fantasies, exploring contemporary interpretations of the horse as a classical motif across diverse cultures, featuring France-based Chinese sculptor Guo Chengdong, Chinese artists Xue Song and Zhang Gong, Egyptian artist Ibrahim Khatab, and others.  

Through sculpture, painting, and collage, artists variously regard the horse as an embodiment of cultural memory and identity, conveying ideals of freedom and aspiration, or as a vehicle for formal exploration of bodily tension and spatial dynamics. The exhibition navigates from historical symbolism to contemporary narrative, revealing the horse’s multidimensional presence in both form and spirit in contemporary art.

Dylan Doe: The Raft at Leo Gallery

Dylan Doe: The Raft at Leo Gallery

  • 46 Sai Street, Sheung Wan Hong Kong Hong Kong (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

Leo Gallery Hong Kong is pleased to present The Raft, a solo exhibition by British artist Dylan Doe. Taking the raft as metaphor, Doe expands “raft” from a life-saving device adrift at sea into a structural condition that temporarily underpins, supports, and shapes form in the process of becoming. Throughout this series, human figures and plant forms intertwine in states of co-growth.

In this body of work, fragmented figures and mutating plant forms emerge within carefully constructed environments. Limbs are braced, stems are supported, bodies are partially fused with external frameworks. The title The Raft carries a quiet tension. “The Raft” suggests survival and suspension, a structure that keeps one afloat when solid ground is absent. It also evokes a base, like those used in 3D printing, where delicate forms require temporary supports. In Doe’s works, these rafts do not disappear once their task is complete. They remain, in fact merge with the figures they sustain, becoming part of their anatomy.

Opening reception: Tuesday 5 May 2026 | 6-8 pm

Soma at Contemporary by Angela Li

Soma at Contemporary by Angela Li

Contemporary by Angela Li is proud to present "Soma", curated by Hong Kong curator, Shirky Chan, a group exhibition featuring Gordon Chi, Cynthia Kwok, Claire Lee, and Alyssa Tang

In ancient Greek, soma simply meant "body." But in the traditions of somatic practice, from dance to phenomenology, and to Eastern ritual, soma refers to something more precise: the body as felt from within, not the body as seen from outside. It is the body that breathes, aches, remembers, and trembles. It is the body that is the mind, and the mind that inhabits the body. 

This exhibition brings together four artists working at the intersection of mind, body, and time; not as separate categories, but as a single, indivisible soma

Opening reception: Thursday, 7 May 2026, from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m.

Jon Poblador: San Gimignano at Soluna Fine Art

Soluna Fine Art is proud to present San Gimignano, a solo exhibition by Hong Kong–based Filipino American artist Jon Poblador. Inspired by his visit to the Italian city last year, where he was deeply moved by the colors encountered in one of its ancient churches, the exhibition presents a new body of work shaped not by image, but by an experience of atmosphere. Poblador’s paintings are not concerned with representation, but with an immersive exploration of the act of looking. 

Working within his signature grid, Poblador constructs each surface through hundreds of repeated marks. Each brushstroke functions as a kind of silent prayer, meditative, devotional, and sustained by focused attention. San Gimignano invites a slower mode of looking. These paintings do not reveal themselves at a glance; they unfold over time. Through sustained attention, something begins to surface, not a fixed meaning, but a shift in awareness. The surface shifts from structure to atmosphere, from stillness to a quiet sense of presence.

Opening Reception: 7 May 2026 (Thur) 6 - 8 pm

Michael Rikio Ming Hee Ho: Poetry Writing Workshops at HART Haus

Michael Rikio Ming Hee Ho’s workshop invites participants to approach his writing not as “poetry” in the traditional sense, but as an exploration of how private thoughts, jokes, anxieties, and fleeting moments of honesty take shape as language. The session considers how sentiment shifts across different contexts, and how meaning changes once words are written and materialized.

Rather than focusing on polemic statements or self-affirming platitudes, the workshop turns toward the strange intimacy of how people speak to themselves. By the end of the workshop, participants will create a small text-based work that examines how a sentence transforms once it is no longer simply read, but distorted and given physical form.

Conducted in English

Pointsman Art Space is pleased to present After Epilogue, a solo exhibition by artist Judy Kong, running from 17 May to 19 June 2026. Centring on the cinema as a "liminal space," the exhibition comprises three atmospheric video installations that resonate with the unique experience of cinema culture and personal emotion.

In Hong Kong's fast-paced, efficiency-driven culture, the cinema, where one can surrender to light and shadow, remains one of the few spaces where people can truly pause. Kong's work captures the suspended moment after a film ends but before the lights return, creating three video installations that crack open a fissure between cinema and reality. Through these works, she constructs an atmospheric experience saturated with memory and emotion, inviting viewers to share quiet, intimate moments in darkness while honouring the cinema culture that is gradually disappearing.

Christine Climent: Pop Pet at Major Pop Art

  • Hong Kong Hong Kong (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

In France, 61% of people own a pet — about 75 million animals — making it the country with the most pets in Europe. In Hong Kong, the emotional and economic interest in pets among couples has grown so much that pets may soon outnumber young children in households. To ensure their well-being, both countries have developed complete health protocols: insurance, microchips, smart collars, and pet-sitting services, supported by technologies dedicated to monitoring these companions. Cities have also adapted, creating parks and activity areas for them. 

These customizable and adoptable animals now occupy a central place in society and attract major attention from the pet industry. The implantation of microchips in France and animal identity cards in Hong Kong illustrate this evolution. 

From this shared context, I created the Pop-pet series — imaginary animals drawn or painted in soft, transparent tones, symbolizing emotional bonds and attachment. The project includes small-format “identity portraits” echoing pet ID cards and large-format works representing the growing presence of pets in cities. A participatory element invites visitors to draw their own Pop-pet, contributing to a collective artwork.

The Chinese Avant-Garde in Paris at Alisan Fine Arts

  • Hong Kong Hong Kong (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

Marking its 45th anniversary, Alisan Fine Arts presents a year-long “Then and Now” programme. Running in parallel with the “Then” exhibition in Central, this exhibition at Alisan Atelier maps the “Now;” it brings together 4 contemporary artists who take inherited materials, images, and ideas and transpose them into contemporary spatial, material, and conceptual frameworks. 

Li Donglu (b. 1982) draws on classical Western draftsmanship alongside Chinese pictorial thought, orchestrating light, colour, and precision to open contemplative, cosmological vistas. Yao Qingmei (b. 1982) redeploys archival film, performance, and installation to meditate on time, loss, and the body within public ritual and structures of power. Shi Qi (b. 1978), hand-paints rice paper in ink and colour, then meticulously folds and mounts it to canvas, blurring the lines between painting and sculpture, between action of creation and spiritual exploration. Qi Zhuo (b. 1985) reworks traditional sculptural lineages through glass, metal, and repair, pairing humour with critique to probe authenticity and cultural transfer.  

Together, these practices show how memory becomes material and how tradition becomes a generative constraint, reframing inheritance as invention in the present tense.

Yuki Onodera constantly creates works that raise fundamental questions about what photography is and what images are. She uses photography to experimentally create a variety of works that explore themes that emerge from these questions.  While these two artists share the same creative space and time, they each pursue their own individual creative endeavors. Their works each possess unique qualities, backed by their own philosophies, ideas, and methods of expression. This exhibition introduces their representative series such as Aki Lumi's "Traceryscape" and Yuki Onodera's "The World Is Not Small - 1826," in the same space, creating a mysterious sense of synesthesia.

David Zwirner is pleased to announce an exhibition of works by Dan Flavin (1933–1996) featuring the artist’s grids, a key body of work that he began in 1976. As curator Michael Govan observes, the grids count “among the most intense and concentrated of Flavin’s lights.” Constituting one of the artist’s most complex and nuanced chromatic investigations, these constructions are composed of an equal number of vertical fixtures facing backwards and horizontal fixtures facing forwards in varying color combinations. Situated in the corner of a room, they simultaneously project a blend of colors outward towards the viewer and inward into the corner, highlighting the architectural conditions of the space. A version of this exhibition—the first focused examination of this form—was on view at David Zwirner New York in January–February 2026 and the presentation in Hong Kong will include several re-creations of the way in which Flavin installed the grids in significant exhibitions held during his lifetime.

Heri Dono and Wael Shawky: Chorus at M+

  • Hong Kong Hong Kong (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

This exhibition brings together two thought-provoking works from the M+ Collection by artists Heri Dono (Indonesian, born 1960) and Wael Shawky (Egyptian, born 1971). Both artists explore how civilisations evolve and intertwine, drawing on enduring traditions such as mythology and folk tales, oral storytelling, and theatre. These forms do not merely connect us to the past—they invite us to imagine alternative futures beyond the relentless drive of economic progress and modernisation.

Wael Shawky’s video work I Am Hymns of the New Temples (2023) delves into humanity’s beginnings and the construction of national narratives. Set among the ruins of Pompeii, actors wearing handmade ceramic and papier-mâché masks move through the remnants of the city, situated at the ancient crossroads of exchange between Egyptian, Greek, and Roman cultures. The work reinterprets shared creation myths and theatrical traditions to explore our need to make sense of the world through storytelling, and the way these narratives are adapted and reshaped for national purposes.

Heri Dono’s kinetic installation Fermentation of the Mind (1992–1993) resembles a classroom, featuring rows of old wooden desks topped with white fibreglass heads. When activated by a pedal, the heads nod in unison and emit distorted chanting sounds. The work is inspired by Indonesia’s sociopolitical landscape in the early 1990s, particularly the state’s influence on public opinion and independent thought through propaganda. Drawing on the rich Javanese tradition of wayang kulit (shadow puppetry), Dono uses satire to reflect on history, society, and culture.

Talk: Discover Renaissance Jewels at L'ÉCOLE

During the Renaissance (14th – 17th centuries), European jewelry transformed from symbols of status into intricate masterpieces, shining as a true "golden age" of craftsmanship. From the Golden Fleece to the Peregrina pearl, along with badges, signet rings, and watches on chains, European Renaissance jewelry has captured the imagination of both collectors and jewelers, inspiring numerous revival movements in the 18th and 19th centuries. This period truly marked a cultural and artistic revolution. Thanks to these influences, a refined and sophisticated style emerged and spread across Europe in the 16th century, continuing to inspire jewelers long after. Join our talk to appreciate the intricate ornaments that adorn paintings, sculptures, and regal figures—those timeless designs have become part of pop culture and global iconography.

Myths, Monsters, and Manga: The Art of Fantasy in Asia at M+

  • Hong Kong Hong Kong (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

Myths, Monsters, and Manga: The Art of Fantasy in Asia explores the role of fantasy in the evolution of Asian visual culture and its global impacts. Spanning from the nineteenth to twenty-first centuries, the exhibition presents fantasy as a potent creative tool for artists to respond to shifting sociopolitical conditions. Through imaginative stories, characters, and worlds, these artists confront complex realities that resonate with contemporary experiences. This groundbreaking exhibition reveals the links between a wide range of genres and styles, highlighting historical connections that have rarely been explored.

Unfolding across four chapters, the exhibition begins with pre-modern traditions such as Japanese ukiyo-e woodblock prints, Indonesian shadow puppetry, and Tibetan Buddhist scrolls. These traditions helped establish fantasy as a foundational element of Asian visual culture. Chapters two and three trace major twentieth-century developments, including the spread of Surrealism through Asia and the post-war emergence of Japanese manga and anime. The final chapter presents the explosion of fantastical anime aesthetics in art, design, architecture, film, fashion, video games, and digital culture around the world that continues to the present day. It shows how these creative forms move fluidly across disciplines and regions in the twenty-first century.

Where Things Give Way at Lamma Art Collective

  • Hong Kong Hong Kong (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

Where Things Give Way, curated by Francesca Marcaccio, brings together five Italian artists in a site-sensitive exhibition presented at Lamma Art Collective on Lamma Island. Conceived during Hong Kong’s art week, the project unfolds as a meditation on gravity, process, and the persistence of matter within a city defined by velocity and vertical expansion. The exhibition inaugurates a new series of curatorial projects in Hong Kong developed by Marcaccio, extending her ongoing engagement with the city through a sustained dialogue between contemporary Italian artistic practices and Hong Kong’s evolving cultural landscape. The exhibition brings together works by Daniele Di Girolamo, Simone Doria, Ado Brandimarte, Federica Vesprini, and Sara Cerquetti, whose practices converge at a shared threshold: the point at which matter becomes vibration and process assumes form.

Tai Kwun Conversations: The West's Encounter with China

Tai Kwun Conversations: The West's Encounter with China

This talk will focus on Chinoiserie – the distinctive 17th- to 18th-century European aesthetic inspired by Chinese culture – and Chinese export watercolours from the mid-19th to early 20th centuries. Examining works of art from two renowned European collections, museum curators will explore the layers of meaning surrounding the early reception, reimagining, and interpretation of Chinese art in Europe.

Whether conceptualising China as a place of exoticism and otherness or attempting to make sense of China's cultural differences for Western audiences, these featured artworks reveal various perspectives that tell us as much about the West's self-perception as they do about China. Join us on a journey through the institutional history of art acquisition, where we will address critical issues such as collecting policy, cultural authenticity, knowledge representation, and decolonisation.

The conversation will be conducted in English with English-Cantonese simultaneous interpretation.

Speakers:

Dr. Birgitta Augustin | Curator of Chinese Art, Museum für Asiatische Kunst (Asian Art Museum) in Berlin

Durational Performance | hope nope hope at WMA Space

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.

Guest Insights | Chosen: Holok Chen & Gabriel Lee at WMA Space

• 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
