Global Art in Hong Kong
Field trip to Asia's global museum M+
On March 28, 2026 the research group made a field trip to see a number of exhibitions at M+, one of the major museums in Asia dedicated to global 20th and 21st-century visual culture, including art, design, architecture, and moving image. The building is located in Hong Kong's West Kowloon Cultural District and was designed by the Swiss architects Jacques Herzog and Pierre de Meuroni n collaboration with TFP Farrells and Arup, featuring 33 galleries, a rooftop garden, and a massive LED façade. The architecture is embracing the entire spectrum of spaces, means of display and activities - related to exhibiting and viewing multiple media. The spaces of M+ range from the conventional white cube, reconfigurable spaces, screening rooms as well as multipurpose facilities.
