Jay Khan l Pouring Shadows

@jaykhan313 built one of Hong Kong’s most celebrated bar programs. Then, during the silence of a pandemic, he picked up a camera and never looked back.

Jay Khan is colorblind. What emerged from that constraint is a body of work that reads the city like a document: its shadows, its geometry, its relentless motion frozen into stillness.

Pouring Shadows is his first solo exhibition. A debut years in the making.

FVTVRIST GAZE / SHANGHAI
Maison Margiela’s series of exhibitions and experiences taking place in China in April 2026, beginning with the Autumn–Winter 2026 show in Shanghai.

Opening today // ARTISANAL
The exhibition centers on Artisanal, the couture line and the core of Maison Margiela’s creative language. It refers to pieces entirely handmade by the atelier and reflects the origin of the house’s methodology.

58 Artisanal silhouettes spanning 1989 to 2025 are brought together for the first time, tracing an evolving couture practice: upcycling, deconstruction, trompe-l’œil, archetypes, raw materials and the transformation of the everyday.

APRIL’26 COVER | Greg Girard

‘Snack Sakura’
@gregforaday

A photograph drawn from Snack Sakura, Girard’s recent book and part of his solo exhibition HKG–TYO 1974–2023 at @wkmgallery

The image captures a bar named ‘Sakura’ in Sanbonmatsu, Kagawa. One among countless ‘snack’ bars dispersed across Japan. Intimate, transitional spaces where anonymity and ritual coexist.

Greg Girard’s long-term inquiry began with a linguistic observation: ‘Snack Sakura’ as the most recurrent name within this typology. What followed became a quiet cartography of repetition, tracing these sites from Okinawa to Hokkaido.

Beyond documentation, the work constructs a fragmented portrait of postwar urban culture. A study of interiors shaped by habit, solitude, and the subtle choreography of everyday life.

Artwork of the Month // April

A Brief Moment of Truth (2026) by French–Chinese artist Alexandre Zhu

Zhu works with charcoal as a medium of memory and distance, constructing images that hover between presence and disappearance.

Presented by Vacancy Gallery @galleryvacancy at @artbasel Hong Kong 2026, the work captures the back of a figure in motion. From afar, it holds as an image; up close, it dissolves into a dense field of marks, where form becomes unstable and perception begins to drift.
