    Overview

    Song Huai-Kuei (1937–2006), widely known during her lifetime as Madame Song, was a legend in the spheres of Chinese art, film, music, and fashion during the 1980s and 1990s. With her husband, Bulgarian fibre artist Maryn Varbanov (1932–1989), Song helped foster a forward-looking creative scene and cultivated a modern, international lifestyle in China at a time when the country was largely isolated from the rest of the world for much of the Cold War.

     

    This upcoming Special Exhibition brings to light Madame Song’s fascinating multiple identities and professional pursuits. It will chronicle her life and practice from the 1950s to the early 2000s and unveil Song’s thus-far overlooked and underestimated influence on China's transformation into the cosmopolitan and culturally diverse society it is today.

     

    The Special Exhibition ‘Madame Song: Pioneering Art and Fashion in China’ is financially supported by the Mega Arts and Cultural Events Fund of the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.

     

    The exhibition’s Airline Partner is Cathay Pacific while its Hotel Partner is Rosewood Hong Kong.
