Lee Bul at M+ (Hong Kong Art Week)
Hong Kong Art Week spotlights Lee Bul with a career survey titled “From 1998 to Now,” dovetailing with Art Basel Hong Kong and the debut of Collect Hong Kong. The M+ presentation is being framed as a must‑see in a packed art week that’s drawing collectors and curators across the city. (artsy.net) (ft.com)
M+ will present Lee Bul: From 1998 to Now from March 14 to August 9, 2026, mounting a survey that the museum lists as comprising more than 200 works, including forty‑nine early pieces and several works produced in 2024. (e-flux.com) The show is co‑organised with Seoul’s Leeum Museum of Art and credited to lead curators Doryun Chong and June Young Kwak, with curatorial support from Heyeon Kim and Sunny Cheung; HSBC is named as the exhibition’s lead sponsor. (mplus.org.hk) The M+ presentation follows the exhibition’s Leeum premiere, which ran from September 2025 to January 2026 and drew roughly 105,000 visitors during its four‑month run. (mplus.org.hk) Installed works on view at M+ include large architectural pieces from the Mon grand récit series, two‑dimensional works from the Perdu series, and key pieces from Lee’s Cyborg and Anagram series such as Scale of Tongue and Aubade.
