As the buzzing art crowd departs from Hong Kong after a packed arts and cultural line-up in March with Art Basel Hong Kong, Art Central, the inaugural Hong Kong International Cultural Summit and more, the region has restored some of its calm. But this doesn’t mean that there is less to explore in the local arts and cultural scene.
The M+ Sigg Collection: Another Story traces contemporary Chinese art from the 1990s to the present. Highlights include Sun Yuan and Peng Yu’s Old People’s Home (2007), featuring robotic and aged versions of global leaders that whirl around the gallery in their wheelchairs at different intervals throughout the day; Wang Du’s critical large-scale installation, Stratégie en chambre (1999) and Ai Weiwei’s Ton of Tea (2006) that offers both a visual and olfactory presence.
