Guernica in Sand李明維：如沙的格爾尼卡
Towards the end of the exhibition, the artist will stage a performance in which he and other collaborators will complete the work while visitors walk on the sand, blurring the image as it is being finished. The performers will then gently sweep the sand in spontaneous movements, making a new, abstract composition. In this way, Lee creates a harmonious cycle of creation and destruction.
The performance will take place on 28 June 2025. Please check this website closer to the date for more details.
This presentation runs parallel to the Special Exhibition The Hong Kong Jockey Club Series: Picasso for Asia—A Conversation in the West Gallery.
Yasumasa Morimura and Cindy Sherman:
Masquerades森村泰昌與辛蒂 · 雪曼：變裝化身
In a world first, M+ presents a two-person exhibition of the photographic works of Yasumasa Morimura (Japanese, born 1951) and Cindy Sherman (American, born 1954). Both artists are renowned for their visual and conceptual strategies of masquerade, transforming their appearances to portray multiple identities that offer incisive commentary on contemporary culture and history.
Presented as part of the Pao-Watari Exhibition Series, Yasumasa Morimura and Cindy Sherman: Masqueradesfeatures works from major early series by Morimura and Sherman. The exhibition traces the genesis of their practices, which reimagine iconic imagery from art history, cinema, and media culture. These creative acts of masquerade not only emulate the source material, but also embody the artists’ unique perspectives and contexts. Their representations deviate from the original images, triggering a sense of familiarity as well as ambiguity. By establishing a fluid relationship with their subjects, Morimura and Sherman explore identity as a malleable construct.
Guo Pei: Fashioning Imagination
郭培：藝想天開
Guo Pei (b. 1967), China’s leading couture artist, combines Chinese cultural heritage with international elements and artistic expression. Guo’s astonishing runway collections have impressed fashion and art audiences alike for almost 30 years. Presenting the first major exhibition of Guo’s work produced in China, M+ will showcase Guo’s key collections and early designs, highlighting her unique career connecting China and the rest of the world and the cultural symbols created through her sophisticated and visually dazzling practice. Working with the couturier and her studio, the exhibition presents a selection of garments shown to audiences in the region for the first time, creating a layered dialogue with the M+ Collections around visual imagination and workmanship. The exhibition foregrounds Guo Pei's unique artistic style that resonates with imperial Chinese dress etiquette, European royal fashion, architecture, and the botanical world.
The M+ building in the West Kowloon Cultural District is one of the largest museums of modern and contemporary visual culture in the world. Located at the southernmost edge of Kowloon overlooking Victoria Harbour, it is among Hong Kong’s most iconic landmarks, both monumental in its architectural form and radically open in its position in the urban landscape.
Designed by Herzog & de Meuron in partnership with TFP Farrells and Arup, the building is composed of a podium and a slender tower that fuse into the shape of an upside-down ‘T’. The expansive podium cantilevers above ground and includes 17,000 square metres of exhibition space across thirty-three galleries, three cinema houses, the Mediatheque, Learning Hub, and Roof Garden that faces Victoria Harbour. The tower houses the museum’s Research Centre, offices, restaurants, and the M+ Lounge on level 11. The M+ Facade, facing the harbour, is embedded with LEDs for screening moving image works, which can be seen from the West Kowloon waterfront promenade and Hong Kong Island. Visitors can enter the museum from various points on the ground and lower floors, creating a highly accessible space that offers a continuity between indoor and outdoor areas.
