The director and chief curator of the four-year-old M+ in Hong Kong have established over 20 international collaboration agreements. The latest is with New York’s MoMA and covers loans and exhibition exchanges, as well as curatorial and conservation research. In March, Raffel and Chong opened Picasso for Asia, a show curated with Musée Picasso-Paris that features works by the Spanish artist ‘in conversation’ with Asian and Asian-diasporic artists of the past century (and alongside whom Lee Mingwei showed his Guernica in Sand, 2006–, which recreates Picasso’s Guernica, 1937, and is swept away by performers). Later, Chong travelled to Tokyo for his Prism of the Real: Making Art in Japan 1989–2010, organised in partnership with the city’s National Art Center. Elsewhere in the programme, Trevor Yeung brought in a younger audience (just under half of visitors were in the 25–34 age range) by restaging Courtyard of Attachments, the installation of empty fishtanks the museum originally commissioned for the 2024 Venice Biennale, while its I.M. Pei show went on tour to Shanghai and Doha.
