Open M Art Fair 2025
Shenzhen, 13 - 16 November, 2025
abC starts a new journey with "Open M Art Fair", believing in the vitality of materials, the spirit of objects, the warmth of hands, and the changes generated by different media, which is enough to brew new possibilities. The letter "M" reflects the core of abC’s long-standing focus: Material, Media, Mind, Maker... While "Open" embodies a state of openness—embracing the richness and possibilities of media and materials, and supporting creative practices that are both authorial and materially driven.
Heidegger regarded the mere thing, the material that constitutes the work, as "the earth." Stone is originally a cold material ("worldless"), and the earth is originally self-locked, but through the hands of the artist, it is brought into the world of meaning called "art." The earth therefore reveals itself. (Das Werk Lasst die Erde eine Erde sein.) "All this comes-forth in that the work sets itself back into the massiveness and gravity of the stone, into the strength and suppleness of the wood, into the hardness and lustre of brass, into the glowing and darkening of color, into the ringing of tone, and into the naming power of the word." [1] Just as the word is brought to life by the poet, materials is brought into the open by the work. World worlds on top of the earth.
OPEN and CREATE will lead us to a shared future.
