Exhibitions

HKDI Gallery proudly presents two flagship exhibitions that explore the evolving relationship between art, technology, architecture, and human experience: Pluriversal Futures – Ars Electronica Exhibition in Collaboration with Hong Kong Design Institute and Kengo Kuma: Architecture for the Five Senses.

Pluriversal Futures originates from Austria’s pioneering Ars Electronica Festival and showcases award-winning works from the 2024 and 2025 Prix Ars Electronica, alongside innovative creations by emerging HKDI designers. Co-curated with Ars Electronica, the exhibition invites visitors to experience immersive installations and experimental interfaces that highlight the transformative power of digital media. Through the perspectives of artists, scientists, technologists, designers and activists, it explores how emerging technologies are shaping our shared future. The exhibition will run from 29 November 2025 to 6 April 2026.

Kengo Kuma: Architecture for the Five Senses, in collaboration with Kengo Kuma & Associates and R Photography Art Museum, marks the acclaimed Japanese architect’s first solo exhibition in Hong Kong. It delves into how architecture can engage all five senses - sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch - to create spaces that are immersive and human-centred. Drawing inspiration from Japanese traditions and natural materials, Kuma’s work encourages reflection on how architecture can reconnect us with nature and enrich our sensory experience of space. The exhibition features archival architectural models and bamboo installations, offering visitors a deep and tactile insight into Kuma’s architectural philosophy. The exhibition will run from 23 January to 18 May 2026.
