M+’s debut design exhibition –Shifting Objectives: Design from the M+ Collection– explores the many concepts and frameworks that have shaped and broadened our understanding of design. Featuring dozens of key objects and works– from mid-twentieth century Japanese furniture, to familiar products from Hong Kong’s manufacturing heyday, to drones, ‘copied’ goods, and digitally-enabled and open-source practices– this groundbreaking show illustrates how design philosophies and practices have changed from the post-Second World War period until now. In so doing, Shifting Objectives outlines the growing contours of the M+ design collection, which is the first of its kind in Asia and a core pillar of M+.

Fill in the void
Nur, Hong Kong
26 September 2014—20 January 2015
Restaurant NUR is proud to announce the launch of Fill in the void, a series of art installations and projects aimed at conveying a sense of the void NUR feels Hong Kong experiences with guests dining at a restaurant and the food they consume.
This autumn, NUR has invited artists Julie & Jesse from Hong Kong to host their installation, Partial Plates. This is the duo’s third installation from their experimental label and it consists of a series of unique unglazed tinted porcelain plates that highlight the beauty of the failures which occur in the process of fabricating a plate.
The technique used to make each piece gives the plates an uncontrollable, distinct and unrepeatable topography-like texture. No two plates look the same as the clay naturally documents the failure happening during the molding process. It is this inherent organic beauty that the artist and designer duo are setting forth in this installation, compelling the viewers to appreciate and contemplate the flaws of an otherwise industrial process.
Fill in the void is an art installation where the organic beauty of the Partial Plates sets the tone of what you are about to experience at NUR Restaurant – a unique and original dining experience. NUR celebrates how we source and develop our food as close to the natural processes as possible with intentions to fill the void of nourishment in urban Hong Kong.
