Art History is an expansive topic. Narrow that down to Asian Art history and you’ve still barely made a dent in the enormous library of artists, art movements and artistic styles that have come into being in the past 100 years, let alone the last five centuries. So in order to take this information and make it palatable, curators and professors alike will construct an imagined past that fits into contemporary society and allows this history to become more accessible. In this 6th episode of the Museum Webinar Series, our three distinguished speakers, Julia F. Andrews, Kuiyi Shen and Dr. Daisy Yiyou Wang will share their way of exploring the inherited tradition on Chinese modern art and how they make these relevant to the present with the imagination of the past.

Julia F. Andrews is a distinguished university professor in the Department of History of Art at The Ohio State University and the recent recipient of a Fulbright Fellowship. Her 1994 publication, Painters and Politics in the People's Republic of China,1949-1979 won the Joseph Levenson Prize of the Association for Asian Studies as the best book of the year on modern China. Her recent projects include Blooming in the Shadows: Unofficial Chinese Art, 1974-1985 (China Institute, 2011, New York), Light Before Dawn (Asia Society, Hong Kong Center, 2013), and Art of Modern China (with Kuiyi Shen, University of California Press, 2012), which was awarded the 2013 Humanities Book Prize of the International Convention of Asia Scholars. She was a 2016 Guggenheim Fellow.

Kuiyi Shen is Professor of Asian Art History, Theory, and Criticism, Vice Chair and Director of Ph.D. Program at the University of California, San Diego. His publications include Between the Thunder and the Rain (San Francisco, 2000); The Elegant Gathering (San Francesco, 2006); Chinese Posters (Munich, 2009); Blooming in the Shadows (New York, 2011); and Arts of Modern China (Berkeley, 2012). Prof. Shen has also worked as a curator including A Century in Crisis, the modern portion of China, 5000 Years (Guggenheim Museum SoHo and Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, 1998), Reboot — The Third Chengdu Biennale (Chengdu Modern Art Museum, 2007), and Boundless — Ongoing Chinese Ink Art (Sichuan Fine Art Institute, 2017).

MAHABHARATA is a fabulous tale of the dynastic struggle between paternal cousins leading to the great war of Kurukshetra. This epic will be portrayed on stage through the application of different Indian theatre and dance forms by various characters. This will be a chance to demonstrate both, the principles of Natyashastra as well as the Indian heritage art forms.

This autumn in Hong Kong, we are giving you the chance to “travel” through books safely. Due to the recent global situation, many of us are unable to get out of the city this year. And we believe books will be the best alternative for you to lose yourself into this wonderland of imaginations, fantasies, make-believes, etc.

With over thousands of titles, ranging from design, arts, architectural, photography books to novels, children pictorials and travel guides, there is always something for everyone. A mixed of pre-loved and new books and DVDs at a starting price of HK$10 each, these books will help Asia Society Hong Kong Center to raise fund to continue to pursue our mission.

Pre-loved books:

• Art and design books from a library of an educational institute
• Members’ private collection of books and DVDs
• Contributions from local book clubs

Brand new books:

• Art catalogues from galleries and art shows
• Baking cookbooks from an established studio
• Books from local publishers
• Collection from Asia Society Hong Kong Center
• Travel guides

Visitors, who dressed up as a character from their favourite books or movies, or to the theme of Halloween, will receive a copy of the Once in Life – Encounters with Nara catalogue after posting on the social media. Limited to one copy per person who dressed up.

Please come down with your family and friends to look through the collection and bring your favorite copies home.

For the safety of the participants, we have engaged Germagic to disinfect the site. To meet the recommended social distancing measures, we will control the number of visitors in the venue.

Given the current situation we have no other choice than postponing the event to end of October so let's make it a Halloween Party! (Hopefully) Final date: October 31st 2020. 2 Stages! Stay safe everyone! One love!

*Dimension Five Productions Hong Kong* and *Momentum* proudly present:
+++ No Rest For The Wicked +++

After the amazing success of our first big outdoor party in Hong Kong we believe it's time for Round 2!

Come and join us at an outdoor party on beautiful Lamma Island for a journey into deep House and Techno!

Our new active Mackie sound system (the Ferrari under the sound systems - made in Italy with RCF components) will blow your mind! 2 18" subs and 2 15" main speakers will provide plenty of bass and an overall incredibly clean and crisp sound even the most hardcore sound aficionados will enjoy.

Some of Hong Kong's best DJs will make sure that this will be an unforgettable night.

The site is pretty straightforward to access either from Central or Aberdeen. More details about the site and directions will be added later.

Confirmed DJs so far:
Bergholt
Javen
Immuno
Nipper (Special Guest)
Phanenara
Dr Zigman

Please follow the social distancing rules and keep the place clean, e.g. if you smoke bring an ashtray. I don't want to see cigarette butts on the ground.

You can bring your own but there will be a bar selling cold beers (2 for 50). Water is free but please bring your own cup or bottle in order to minimise our environmental impact.

Tickets are 200 at the gate.

Directions will be posted at the day of the party in the early afternoon.

More details coming soon...

One Love! BOOM!!!

Art History is an expansive topic. Narrow that down to Asian Art history and you’ve still barely made a dent in the enormous library of artists, art movements and artistic styles that have come into being in the past 100 years, let alone the last five centuries. So in order to take this information and make it palatable, curators and professors alike will construct an imagined past that fits into contemporary society and allows this history to become more accessible. In this 6th episode of the Museum Webinar Series, our three distinguished speakers, Julia F. Andrews, Kuiyi Shen and Dr. Daisy Yiyou Wang will share their way of exploring the inherited tradition on Chinese modern art and how they make these relevant to the present with the imagination of the past.

Julia F. Andrews is a distinguished university professor in the Department of History of Art at The Ohio State University and the recent recipient of a Fulbright Fellowship. Her 1994 publication, Painters and Politics in the People's Republic of China,1949-1979 won the Joseph Levenson Prize of the Association for Asian Studies as the best book of the year on modern China. Her recent projects include Blooming in the Shadows: Unofficial Chinese Art, 1974-1985 (China Institute, 2011, New York), Light Before Dawn (Asia Society, Hong Kong Center, 2013), and Art of Modern China (with Kuiyi Shen, University of California Press, 2012), which was awarded the 2013 Humanities Book Prize of the International Convention of Asia Scholars. She was a 2016 Guggenheim Fellow.

This October 2020, Asia Society Hong Kong (ASHK) will celebrate its 30th anniversary.  We will hold a virtual Thanksgiving Gala on Tuesday, November 17, 2020 from 7 to 8:30 p.m. ASHK will take this momentous occasion to honor 13 visionaries who have been instrumental in the establishment of Asia Society in Hong Kong.

To conclude the evening, we will welcome guests to an after party from 8:30 to 9:15 p.m. True to our mission, we promise to inspire, unite and connect!

2020 has been challenging for Hong Kong, and ASHK is not immune to its effects.
