HONG KONG SAR - Media OutReach Newswire - 17 December 2025 - The 2025 Hong Kong & Shenzhen Bi-City Biennale of Urbanism\ Architecture (Hong Kong) (UABBHK 2025) is officially open to the public at two key venues: the Oil Street Art Space (Oi!) in North Point and the East Kowloon Cultural Centre (EKCC) in Kowloon Bay. Organised by The Hong Kong Institute of Architects Biennale Foundation, and co-organised by The Hong Kong Institute of Architects, The Hong Kong Institute of Planners, and the Hong Kong Designers Association, UABBHK 2025 is fully supported by the Cultural and Creative Industries Development Agency (CCIDA) as the Lead Sponsor. Running until 24 January 2026, this citywide exhibition invites the public to explore how artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming architecture from a static practice into a civic performance. This year's theme — TECHFORMANCE: Technology, Platform and Performance — responds to global concerns about the impact of AI on authorship, ethics, and creativity in built environment practices through 25 exhibits from Hong Kong and overseas exhibitors. Rather than presenting AI as a threat, the Biennale reframes it as a platform for civic imagination, public experimentation, and participatory design. "Through UABBHK 2025, we aim to reclaim architecture as a human-centred discipline — one that celebrates creativity, ethics, and civic responsibility in the age of AI," said Ar. Allen POON, Chairman of The Hong Kong Institute of Architects Biennale Foundation. Two Venues, Two Curatorial Focuses At Oi!, the exhibition explores Co-Creation and Urban Narratives with the Community. Visitors are invited to engage directly with interactive installations that respond to sound, movement, memory, and language. The design of the exhibition reflects the venue's warehouse heritage, featuring arched aluminium structures that create vaulted spaces for community interaction and storytelling. At EKCC, the exhibition shifts the focus to Experimental AI-driven Urban Futures. A series of modular lab tables serve as platforms for collaborative experimentation, integrating technology and design in a hands-on setting. Both venues at Oi! and EKCC are further unified by a coherent spatial language using aluminium extrusion bent into arcs — a material choice that balances cost-efficiency, elegance, and reusability. "We see each venue not just as a display, but as a stage for civic performance," said Dr. Jimmy HO and Ar. Aron TSANG, Lead Curators of UABBHK 2025. "By tailoring the design of each site to its specific context, we invite the public to co-create the urban futures they want to see." Exhibits from UABBHK 2025 will also be showcased at the coming Shenzhen & Hong Kong Bi-City Biennale of Urbanism\Architecture (Shenzhen) (UABBSZ), which will open by late December 2025 at the Hetao Science and Technology Innovation Centre in Shenzhen. The exhibition will feature a portal-inspired installation symbolising the collaboration between Hong Kong and Shenzhen, further reinforcing the Biennale's cross-border dialogue and spatial continuity.

BEIJING, CHINA - Media OutReach Newswire - 5 December 2025 - Peng Liyuan, wife of Chinese President Xi Jinping, and Brigitte Macron, wife of French President Emmanuel Macron, visited the Beijing People's Art Theatre on Thursday to learn about the theatre's development and its cultural exchanges with the French theatre community. Following the visit, CGTN published an article highlighting the rich cultural and people-to-people exchanges in recent years and emphasizing how these interactions are essential for fostering deeper mutual understanding between the two major cultural nations. The Beijing People's Art Theatre (BPAT) in Beijing on Thursday warmly welcomed Peng Liyuan, wife of Chinese President Xi Jinping, and Brigitte Macron, wife of French President Emmanuel Macron. Brigitte Macron is accompanying the French president on his state visit to China. During the visit, Peng and Brigitte gained an in-depth understanding of the development of the BPAT and its exchanges with the French theater community. They also explored the stage set of the classic Chinese play "Teahouse," watched a play segment and had an engaging conversation with the performers. The Chinese play "Teahouse" made history in 2019 when it was performed at the Festival d'Avignon in France, marking the first time a Chinese play was invited to one of the world's most prestigious contemporary performing arts festivals. The play's debut left a lasting impression on Olivier Py, then director of the Festival d'Avignon, who described it as one of the best productions he had ever seen. In April 2024, the BPAT unveiled its latest Chinese adaptation of Moliere's classic "The Miser," captivating audiences with its splendid performances. In late October, the French classic drama "Les Paravents" (The Screens), one of the founding pillars of contemporary French theater, was featured in the 2025 BPAT International Theatre Invitation Exhibition, staged at the Capital Theatre for a three-day run. This marked the first time the widely acclaimed play was presented in its entirety in China. Peng said generations of Chinese dramatists have adhered to inheriting and promoting fine traditional Chinese culture in their artistic creations, while learning from foreign theaters and actively advancing innovation and development. In addition to the exchange of plays and theater, China and France have also strengthened other aspects of cultural and people-to-people exchanges. The 2024 China-France Year of Culture and Tourism advanced cooperation in the fields of education, sports, and film and television, and more than 6,000 French students traveled to China for exchanges and study that year. Growing numbers of French tourists are also visiting China, thanks to China's visa-free policy. This year marks both the beginning of a new 60-year cycle in China-France diplomatic relations and the start of the second decade of their high-level dialogue mechanism on people-to-people exchanges. Looking ahead, Peng expressed hope that artists from both China and France, two major cultural countries, will continue to strengthen exchanges and mutual learning, and create more outstanding artistic works. Appreciating Peng's thoughtful arrangements, Brigitte Macron spoke highly of Chinese dramatic arts and expressed her willingness to actively promote people-to-people and cultural exchanges between the two countries, enhancing mutual understanding and friendship between the two peoples. https://news.cgtn.com/news/2025-12-05/Peng-Liyuan-Brigitte-Macron-visit-Beijing-theatre-1IQGtc4Iohy/p.html Hashtag: #CGTNThe issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.

BEIJING, CHINA - Media OutReach Newswire - 26 October 2025 - The historic Jebum-gang Lha-khang Temple in Lhasa, southwest China's Xizang Autonomous Region (Tibet), has been transformed from a centuries-old place of worship and a former granary into a vibrant modern art center. This unique project has revitalized a key cultural site for a new generation. The temple has a history of approximately 200 years and has murals from the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911), according to Chinese architect Xia Yujun. Nestled in a bustling business street and residential area at an altitude of 3,650 meters, the temple has been a center of energy for the ancient city of Lhasa and an important carrier of local Tibetan culture. Its circular construction, ancient Tibetan pillars and verandas, and centuries-old murals were among the highlights that hit him between the eyes. First built in the late 19th century, the Jebum-gang Lha-khang Temple is the only mandalic building, featuring a symbolic Buddhist symmetrical structure. After decades of use as a granary, it has been transformed into a popular place among visitors in pursuit of modern art, thanks to five years of efforts by Xia and his team. The building has been given a new lease on life. Xia's team carefully repaired faded murals and fire-damaged carvings, ensuring the original architecture and layout were preserved. The true innovation, however, lies in its new function. After the basics of the temple were restored, the space was reused as a modern art space, without altering the original structure or the spatial flow. This sensitive transformation has created a dynamic dialogue between the old and the new. The goal was to bring it back to life, Xia says. The rebirth of the Jebum-gang Lha-khang Temple as a modern art center required a sensitive yet thorough technological upgrade, seamlessly weaving new infrastructure into the historic fabric of the building. Facing a near-total reconstruction of its core systems, the project began by fortifying the structure against the elements. A advanced, three-layer waterproofing system was applied to the roof, to ensure that the murals inside would not be affected for the next decade, Xia explained. The most ingenious integration involved the floor. Old elm-wood flooring was installed using a joist structure, under which the necessary pipeline and electrical systems were embedded, paving the way for sound, lighting and electrical equipment essential to future exhibitions, thus preserving the temple's ancient aesthetic. The lighting system was completely re-engineered for its new role. The incandescent lights were replaced with special lamps for museum-grade illumination, reducing the harmful rays that could damage the murals, while simultaneously crafting an ambient atmosphere that allows viewers to experience the tranquility of this sacred building. Through these careful interventions, the temple now possesses the robust, unseen framework of a contemporary art space, all while enhancing and protecting its historical soul. The transformation of the Jebum-gang Lha-khang Temple into a modern art center was guided by a profound understanding of its multi-sensory nature. Xia describes Tibetan ancient architecture as a multi-sensory "5D or 6D" experience, encompassing scent, sound, light, and history. This philosophy directly shaped the restoration. The goal was not just to repair a building, but to preserve this immersive sensory atmosphere while equipping it for a new purpose. The temple's rebirth is thus a sensitive fusion where modern functionality serves to amplify, rather than diminish, the timeless multi-sensory experience of the ancient structure. This approach of repurposing historic buildings as art centers or museums aims to raise awareness among young generation about conservation and inspire them to engage with the preservation of architectural heritage in Xizang.

A tri-level sanctuary where contemporary art, curated library, a bar-inspired third-floor lounge, and a 1.2-metre molar sculpture converge to create a multi-sensory destination in partnership with Fiidaa Art.SINGAPORE - Media OutReach Newswire - 21 October 2025 - Dentalis, a distinctive art-integrated clinic in Tanjong Pagar, has launched an art-led healthcare sanctuary in partnership with Fiidaa Art. The tri-level heritage shophouse on Craig Rd features rotating contemporary art exhibitions, a curated library, and spa-like sensorial design, advancing a holistic approach to care—a fusion of art, culture, and wellness. This creates a cultural destination where every detail reflects an appreciation for design, and where original works are made accessible to emerging collectors. Outside, a 1.2-metre sculptural molar installation named "Molartopia" signals the clinic's unconventional approach to environment design. This approach—a fusion of art, culture, and wellness—is central to Dentalis. Each visit becomes an encounter with beauty: art on the walls tells a story, the Assouline Travel Library inspires curiosity, and every detail—from scent to sound—reflects an appreciation for detail and the elegance of contemporary design. Why Now: When Environment Meets Cultural Intervention In a city where the wellness economy is growing at a robust annual rate of 7.79%^1, and local estimates show dental anxiety affects nearly 1 in 5 adults^2, the launch addresses a significant gap in the patient environment. Research confirms that dental anxiety is a complex, multifactorial issue that significantly impacts a patient's ability to receive necessary care^3, often leading to avoidance behavior that results in severe, long-term health complications such as undiagnosed conditions that manifest as chronic pain^5. Additionally, peer-reviewed literature supports the principle that the non-clinical dental environment itself—including elements like design, scent, and music—can influence patient anxiety levels^4. By prioritising environmental design and integrating a dynamic art gallery, Dentalis offers an approach that aims to transform apprehension into ease. "Beauty lies in craftsmanship—and well-being in experience. Dentalis is more than a clinic; it is a cultural destination where a focus on exceptional care environment is offered amidst art, architecture, and tranquility." — Dr. Jonathan Liu, Founder of Dentalis Featured artists include Max Kong, whose meditative, geometric compositions evoke calm and order, and Georgina Gray, whose playful, colourful scenes bring joy and warmth. Together, they transform each visit to Dentalis into an immersive, restorative, and culturally enriching experience. Design-Led Care Meets Cultural Accessibility Dentalis's art-integrated approach intentionally expands art access beyond traditional barriers. "For most people, galleries might seem intimidating" notes Sangeeta Tibrewala, Founder of Fiidaa Art. "By placing contemporary works in everyday spaces like dental clinics, we're normalising art as part of daily life, not a special occasion. This is how Singapore can truly become a cultural city through culture embedded in the everyday." With these original artworks priced from $500 onwards, pieces are positioned as accessible entry points for emerging collectors—representing a meaningful, permanent investment in personal space that holds lasting cultural value. We are changing the very definition of a healthcare space," explains Jennifer Choi, Marketing Director of Dentalis. "This is about inviting the 'almost collector' to encounter original art in a therapeutic context. Dentalis transforms that relationship—not through selling, but through simple proximity. The walk becomes a gallery stroll. The wait becomes contemplation. Clinical becomes cultural." Molartopia: Where Art Meets Anatomy Before visitors even step inside, they're greeted by Molartopia—a 1.2-metre sculptural molar installation at Dentalis's entrance. Part public art, part anatomical homage, the oversized tooth was designed to be Tanjong Pagar's most unexpected photo opportunity. "We wanted to signal from the doorway: this isn't your typical clinic," explains Dr. Liu. "Molartopia is cheeky, confident, and completely unapologetic about celebrating dentistry as both science and spectacle." The installation transforms the threshold: what could be clinical apprehension becomes curiosity, then a photo, then a smile. Molartopia doesn't just mark the entrance—it reframes the entire visit before it begins. A Living Gallery: Art in Motion Unlike traditional galleries or static clinic decoration, Dentalis operates as a rotating cultural platform. Every three months, Fiidaa Art curates a new collection, ensuring repeat visitors experience fresh perspectives while allowing emerging artists regular exhibition opportunities. This model transforms Dentalis from a gallery into a dynamic cultural engine—one where dentistry and art aren't fixed experiences, but evolving conversations. The First Exhibition: The Spaces Between @ Dentalis Running through to 9 January 2026, The Spaces Between @ Dentalis showcases works by two Singapore-based artists, Max Kong and Georgina Gray, exploring the beauty found in contrasts—between order and play, structure and imagination, calm and colour. Kong's rhythmic abstractions draw attention to the negative spaces within and around his forms, while Gray's vibrant, whimsical worlds fill those in-betweens with wonder and life. Together, their works bridge precision and playfulness, offering visitors a space of comfort, curiosity, and contemplation. Featured Artists Max Kong Max Kong's concentric square series introduces balance and stillness to the reception area—the first impression that signals Dentalis is a different kind of clinic. His clean, meditative geometry mirrors Dentalis's philosophy of calm and contemporary design. Artist's Perspective: Max's geometric works at Dentalis are designed not as decoration but as visual anchors that foster a sense of calm and emotional safety. Through repetition, balance, and the quiet presence of negative space, his compositions invite stillness — easing the nervous system even before a patient's appointment begins. For Max, Art in a dental clinic isn't a luxury; it's an intentional element of the care environment. About the Artist: Born in Singapore in 1974, Max Kong holds a Masters of Fine Arts from LASALLE College of the Arts and a Fine Arts degree from RMIT University, Australia. His abstract practice explores unconventional tools and the materiality of paint, resulting in layered surfaces that challenge traditional methods. A Platinum Award recipient of the 28th UOB Painting of the Year, Max has exhibited across Singapore, Korea, Japan, Thailand, China, and New York. His works are held in collections including the Singapore Art Museum, United Overseas Bank, and the National University of Singapore. Georgina Gray Georgina Gray's vibrant, whimsical works bring warmth and joy to Dentalis's art space. Her tropical scenes, playful black cats, and dreamlike palettes invite visitors to pause, smile, and reconnect with imagination. Artist's Perspective: "I paint these joyful little worlds to remind us that life's not all serious business. If my orang utan on a swing or playful black cat made you feel a bit calmer as you headed for your dental treatment, that's exactly why they're there," explains Georgina Gray. About the Artist: Georgina is a contemporary artist of British-Chinese descent, currently based in Singapore. Her professional background in graphic design and advertising led her to a career in advertising as a writer before becoming a full-time artist. Her work is a celebration of wanderlust and nature, and often features quirky animals and abstract landscapes in a riot of colours. Working primarily with acrylics on canvas, her paintings evoke a sense of fun and adventure, and provide a little lighthearted escapism from everyday life. A Space for Culture and Collaboration The third floor at Dentalis features a bar-inspired lounge designed for media previews, trainings, private events, and brand activations. This versatile area complements the art gallery's atmosphere, extending the Dentalis philosophy into a dynamic cultural hub for wellness, creativity, and community. Behind the clinic, a flexible pop-up space invites unexpected collaborations—from specialty coffee concepts to experimental design showcases—with announcements forthcoming. Interested collaborators and event partners — including brands, curators, or creators seeking a unique venue — are invited to reach out regarding third-floor private event bookings or first-floor pop-up activations. "We're in conversations with makers and creators who share our philosophy: that beauty and function aren't opposites," says Dr. Liu. "The space will evolve. The art will rotate. This is a cultural organism, not a monument."
