The Peninsula Hotels Hong Kong has partnered with London’s Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A) to launch a series of contemporary art installations in the city, supporting emerging and mid-career artists. This is part of the expansion of The Peninsula’s “Art in resonance” commission-based art programme, introduced in 2019 to highlight important emerging and mid-career artists by providing them with funding, curatorial support and logistical capabilities to produce significant new public artworks. #culture #art

Coming soon! Umibaizurah Mahir@Ismail in “Remote” - A compelling three-artist theme exhibition that invites visitors to explore diverse visualizations and interpretations of the concept of remoteness. Each artist will present a unique perspective through an array of drawings, paintings, and sculptures, creating a multifaceted dialogue around the theme. The term “remote” commonly describes something that is situated at a distance, either physically or metaphorically. This exhibition delves into the multiple dimensions of remoteness, offering varied artistic expressions that engage with the theme in profound ways. Through their works, the artists will interpret “remote” in contexts that range from geographical isolation to emotional detachment, technological mediation, and beyond. In the context of nature, “remote” typically refers to locations that are far removed from densely populated areas or urban centers. These places are often characterized by their untouched beauty and tranquility, providing a stark contrast to the hustle and bustle of city life. The sense of peace and unspoiled wilderness found in remote natural areas underscores their separation from human activity and development. This isolation preserves their pristine landscapes and ecosystems, which are cherished for their inherent calm and natural beauty. This exhibition will explore these varied interpretations, encouraging viewers to reflect on the multifaceted nature of remoteness. Whether through the serene depiction of secluded natural landscapes, the abstract representation of emotional distances, or the critical examination of our increasingly virtual existence, the artists will challenge us to reconsider our relationships with space, place, and connectivity. Each artwork will serve as a lens through which the audience can contemplate the nuanced implications of living in a world where the concept of “remote” is continually evolving. #artadvisory #artfund #modernart #contemporaryart #asiacontemporaryart #visualart #collectibles #artcollector #artmuseum #curatedexhibition #sgart #sgartcollectors #artseasonsgallery Theresa T.

🚨 UPCOMING EXHIBITION 🚨 We’re incredibly excited to announce The Art of Subversion. This first-of-its-kind exhibition will feature a provocative blend of street art, tattoo-inspired art, and functional glass art. The term ‘subversion’ is defined as “the undermining of the power and authority of an established system or institution.” With that, the goal is to initiate a broader conversation about how artwork is understood in our contemporary world. For decades, street art was seen as no more than vandalism, and only recently has it gained recognition for its cultural value. Similarly, while the traditional medium of tattoo art has been around for centuries, it has only been in the last few years that our society has shaken the stigma associated with the art form. The same cannot exactly be said for functional glass art, more simply known as ‘sm💨king 🅿️ipes’… I mean, I can’t even type the words normally here without getting this post flagged!! As with tattoos, the art of 🅿️ipe making and the medium of glass blowing has a profound history, yet it is an outsider in the art world. We hope this exhibition can help shift our collective perspective of these underrepresented forms of artistic expression. ••• WHEN: Friday, September 13, 5 - 8 PM WHERE: Rehs Contemporary 20 West 55th Street NYC ••• #streetart #tattooart #art #arte #contemporaryart #functionalglass #rehscontemporary #artexhibit #artexhibition #newyorkgallery

Two Roads In essence, there are two ways to approach the art scene. The first, and most common, is to learn how it works, understand the rules, and then try to get the best out of it. You might find a small studio in the neighborhood with like-minded people, start meeting in a bar, and after some time, have your first group show in an alternative space. If you're lucky, an art dealer passing by might notice your work and invite you to a group show in their gallery. If collectors respond positively, you become a gallery artist, and soon after, you might have an individual exhibition. Then, a curator from an important museum might include your work in a thematic exhibition, which could catch the eye of a selector for a major international event like the Venice Biennale. By then, you're already a well-known artist with a promising career ahead of you. The second approach, which is less common, also involves understanding how the system works—but with a different question in mind: Why? Why do exhibitions exist? Where did galleries and museums originate? How and when was art itself "invented"? Taking this road, you would discover that museums originated from Pope Julius II’s Belvedere Garden in the Vatican, where he presented his collection of antiquities as beautiful or aesthetic objects. The first permanent display of paintings was at the Uffizi Gallery, and the first temporary exhibition was held by the Académie Royale in Paris, which became a regular event known as the Salon. The first modern museum was the Louvre, where ancient statues (antiquity) and modern paintings (modernity) were brought together under one roof. Then came the 19th-century International Exhibitions, which were structured by "national schools"—a concept that also shaped the structure of museums and art history. This evolved into the Museum of Modern Art's focus on "international movements" (e.g., Cubism and Abstract Art), which dominated throughout the 20th century. Today, however, all of this seems to be losing relevance, and soon we may be left without a unifying story, without a common narrative—hopefully, for not too long... #art #artgallery #artmuseum #arthistory #moma #biennale3h
