UMAG Online Lecture Series (2025-2026) 💬 Lecture 4
Dissolved, disappeared, or transformed—the boom of avant-garde artists’ collectives in postwar Japan gradually waned after Expo ’70 in Osaka. Theorized, historicized, and institutionalized, the avant-garde became canonized as symbolically dead. Wei Sun’s talk explores what became of a “metabolic” art world that had lost faith in the avant-garde’s transformative potential, tracing its mutations and reappearances within the shifting conditions of 1970s Japan.

“The most important thing is to know what you want to do.”
You might not know what you want to do this weekend, but we have a feeling you’ll want to catch Zhao Hai Tien—Cultivation: 50 Years of Painting before it ends in just 3 weeks on 1 March 2026.
If you haven’t visited yet—or if you’re ready for a second look—this is your sign to come by UMAG before the exhibition concludes!
「最重要的就是自己知道自己要做什麽。」
你或許還未知道自己這個週末要做什麼，但我們相信，你一定不願錯過親身感受趙海天五十年筆墨心血的機會——《修持：趙海天繪畫五十年》展覽將於3月1日閉幕。
無論是一直想來卻尚未找到時間的你，或是已經看過、仍想再次細細品味的你，我們都在港大美術博物館，期待與你相遇。
