A precursor to the upcoming Kathmandu Triennale, which is being curated by Para Site’s executive director and curator Cosmin Costinas, Garden of Six Seasons brings together more than 30 artists from around the world. The exhibition is named after an English-style garden built in Kathmandu by the Nepalese king a century ago, and the six seasons that historically defined the city’s climate.

Borrowing the manmade landscape as a metaphor, the show—which is taking place in both Para Site in Quarry Bay and Soho House in Sheung Wan—examines how people map, document and shape the world. Looking beyond dominant media such as Nepalese paubha painting and ink painting in East Asia, the exhibition showcases the range of artistic styles thriving today.

Until August 30. Para Site, 22/F Wing Wah Industrial Building, 677 King’s Road, Quarry Bay and Soho House, 33 Des Voeux Road West, Sheung Wan. Find out more at para-site.art.

Ten artists explore the means of representing themselves at Perrotin’s first group exhibition—focusing on contemporary portraiture—in the gallery’s new Victoria Dockside location. Portraits used to be the primary way of recording the appearance of a person before cameras were invented.

Today, the art of portraying the self goes abstract and psychological, and artists are experimenting with various artistic forms, including sculpture. Among the various international artists featured are Takashi Murakami, whose alter ego Mr. DOB evolves in shape and colours, and Japanese Superflat movement artist Mr., who reflects on social anxiety before and after the 2011 nuclear explosion in Fukushima.
