M+ museum in Hong Kong has announced a major exhibition titled "Robert Rauschenberg and Asia," scheduled to run from November 2022, 2025, through April 26, 2026. Curated by Russell Storer, the show explores the American master's deep engagement with the region, featuring his own works alongside pieces by Asian contemporary artists like Huang Yong Ping and Sui Jianguo.
This exhibition is significant for highlighting Rauschenberg’s pivotal role in the development of contemporary art in Asia, particularly following his landmark 1985 exhibition in Beijing. By juxtaposing his work with influential Chinese artists, M+ contextualizes the cross-cultural dialogue and the lasting impact of the Rauschenberg Overseas Culture Interchange (ROCI) on the global avant-garde.
