The Sigg Fellowship for Chinese Art Research supports new research on Chinese art in dialogue with the M+ Collections. The awarded fellow is expected to be attached to M+ for a period of three to six months.

The research direction of this edition of the Sigg Fellowship aims to generate a holistic view of the dialogue between Chinese contemporary art and sites from the 1990s to early 2000s, focusing on areas and cases that have not been fully explored in the current art historical discourses. This includes, but is not limited to, how sites inspire new forms of artistic expression, how changing urban spaces create tensions and new understanding of art creation, and how local and international theories influence site-related artistic and curatorial practices.

The fellowship will conclude with a public lecture in Hong Kong and an essay in Chinese (at least 7,500 characters) or in English (at least 5,000 words) to be published on M+ Magazine.

M+ welcomes applications from individuals or research groups of all nationalities, with no age requirement. The provision of the fellowship, however, depends on whether the fellow can obtain a visa for Hong Kong. Applicants should either hold a postgraduate degree in a relevant discipline or an undergraduate degree with a minimum of three years of relevant professional work or academic research experience. Proficiency in spoken and written Chinese or English is also required. The fellowship proposal must be based on new research or be an expansion of earlier research that has not been previously published.

The fellow will be awarded a grant of 200,000 HKD to cover all expenses, including travel, living, insurance, and research-related costs.
