M+

M+’s late-night museum gatherings are coming back in March, with an after-dark programming that promises to be even more diverse than ever before. Attendees will be grooving to Mandarin R&B tunes from Hong Kong indie musician Gordon Flanders’s repertoire, swaying to vocal performances by local acapella group Boonfaysau, bopping to the energetic beats of Mr Ho’s DJ set, unravelling the abstract works of Chinese-French artist Zao Wou-ki, and taking part in a guided workshop to learn printmaking techniques. Besides music, art, and interactive activities, M+ at Night will also introduce stand-up comedy and a quiz game show for the first time ever at the March 6 event. Bilingual Hong Kong comedian Vivek Mahbubani will be the host, so expect whip-smart commentary and a night of non-stop laughter. As with previous M+ at Night editions, there will be food and drinks available for purchase at the museum, and guests can enter the exhibitions within M+ at no extra cost.

In honour of Hong Kong’s Arts Month coming round again, art enthusiasts can enjoy free admission to major exhibitions and public programmes in the M+ catalogue for one day. On Sunday, March 8, visitors can enter the M+ museum for free from 10am to 8pm. Pre-registration and tickets are not required. There are plenty of exhibitions to take in, including ‘Making It Matters’, the Ryuichi Sakamoto tribute ‘Seeing Sound, Hearing Time’, ‘M+ Sigg Collection: Inner Worlds’, ‘Things, Spaces, Interactions’, ‘Shanshui: Echoes and Signals’, ‘Robert Rauschenberg and Asia’, and ‘Chiharu Shiota: Infinite Memory’. The ‘Zao Wou-ki: Master Printmaker’ exhibition is unfortunately not included, but there will be free screening programmes at the Mediatheque and Grand Stair, and the Open Print Studio will offer self-guided workshops to allow participants to try their hand at printmaking.
