Get ready to kick off Art Week with a bang at NO REST FOR THE WICKED! Because when you work hard, you deserve to play even harder—

About the Organisers:

MARTIN GOYA BUSINESS 

The mysterious creature born in the Post Southern Song Dynasty. It is the fantastic illusion gathering in the dark, a hidden place for cats. The name, MARTIN GOYA, is derived from a black cat that was named after an FBI agent in the Hollywood movie “SPY” (2015), who fabricated a pseudonym for himself by combining the name of a pet with a home address. 

MARTIN GOYA BUSINESS was founded by artist Cheng Ran and Da Mian, as a pioneer platform that advocates for an alternative youth culture. Setting itself apart from existing art systems, it is committed to promoting and supporting the diverse practice and exploration of emerging local artists. Martin Goya Business closely aligns with today’s trend and avant-garde fashion, shaping and leading a new visual and culture scene with their unique vibe. 

MARTIN GOYA BUSINESS has become one of the most different Chinese local organizations over the past 7 years. MGB has curated over 100 events and exhibitions across Hangzhou, Beijing, Shanghai, Paris and collaborated with over 400 creators including artists, curators, writers, designers and musicians. By working collectively with not only art museums, art agencies, music labels, but media and even idols, MGB is growing slowly with Hangzhou as a starting point.

Lousy

Hong Kong native Lousy draws on all surfaces across all spaces, taking cues from the proactive and spontaneous energy of the streets. Stripping down his visual language to simplified, gestural, rhythmic symbols with a bright palette, Lousy desires to liberate, dive deep into the shared vision of the subconscious mind, and celebrate life through his art practices. His works have been showcased in different art galleries and cultural institutions in Hong Kong and overseas, including M+, Art Central, Para Site, THE SHOPHOUSE, parallel space, Martin Goya Business & more.
