The M+ museum in Hong Kong and the Centre Pompidou in Paris will collaborate on a series of exhibitions as part of a long-term partnership agreement. The multi-year arrangement\u2014signed earlier this month by Laurent Le Bon, the president of the Centre Pompidou and Suhanya Raffel,\u00a0M+ director\u2014builds on a memorandum of understanding signed by both institutions in 2024.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis partnership formalises a broad framework across four key areas: joint curatorial research, exhibition development and sharing, co-commissions and artwork displays, and collection exchange,\u201d says a project statement.<\/p>\n

The partnership includes \u201ca landmark exhibition\u201d platforming French and Chinese culture to be presented at both institutions; the show will be presented first at the Centre Pompidou which is due to open in 2030 following major renovations<\/a>. M+\u00a0and Centre Pompidou will also co-organise a series of other exhibitions at M+\u00a0starting in 2027.<\/p>\n

Scholarly research also underpins the new collaboration with joint research initiatives in the pipeline. The new partnership is boosted by a four-year postdoctoral fellowship funded by the Huo Family Foundation, its first grant to M+\u00a0and its first fellowship in the arts. The London-based foundation has awarded more than $100m to projects in the UK, US and China since launching in 2009, according to an online statement.<\/p>\n

New joint commissions are also part of the agreement with moving image works due to be shown on the M+\u00a0Facade and at the Centre Pompidou Francilien-fabrique de l\u2019art, a new conservation and culture hub located in Massy, south of Paris, from 2027.<\/p>\n

Le Bon acknowledges that the new affiliation with M+ expands the reach of the Beaubourg gallery during its long-term closure. \u201cWith the renovation of our Paris building, Centre Pompidou has begun a true metamorphosis where international partnerships play a key role in helping to reach new audiences, enrich our collection, and advance curatorial research,\u201d he says in a statement.<\/p>\n

In recent years M+ and the West Kowloon Cultural District (WKCD), the burgeoning arts district on the southern tip of Hong Kong\u2019s Kowloon peninsula\u00a0where M+ is located, have signed a swathe of memoranda of understanding<\/a> with international institutions. As part of the new agreements overseen by WKCD, an artist-in-residence pilot programme will be established with the Misk Art Institute in Riyadh along with a joint exhibition programme with Museums Victoria in Australia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The M+ museum in Hong Kong and the Centre Pompidou in Paris will collaborate on a series of…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":971209,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[3939],"tags":[4021,4020,80073,4022,77,3749,38324,4729,1411,16,15],"class_list":["post-971208","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-arts-and-design","tag-arts","tag-arts-and-design","tag-centre-pompidou","tag-design","tag-entertainment","tag-hong-kong","tag-m-museum","tag-museums","tag-paris","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/116601769825572289","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/971208","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=971208"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/971208\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/971209"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=971208"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=971208"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=971208"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
