The Sigg Fellowship for Chinese Art Research is a new M+ program held every other year to support new research on Chinese art, in dialogue with the M+ Collections. It is organized in parallel with the Sigg Prize, which recognizes the best of contemporary art practices in the Greater China region. The fellowship corresponds with M+’s commitment to enriching the contemporary conversation on art in the region, and to defining new platforms for research and debate.
M+ is a museum dedicated to collecting, exhibiting, and interpreting visual art, design and architecture, moving image, and Hong Kong visual culture of the 20th and 21st centuries. In Hong Kong’s West Kowloon Cultural District, we are building one of the largest museums of modern and contemporary visual culture in the world, with a bold ambition to establish ourselves as one of the world’s leading cultural institutions. Our aim is to create a new kind of museum that reflects our unique time and place, a museum that builds on Hong Kong’s historic balance of the local and the international to define a distinctive and innovative voice for Asia’s 21st century.
