Founder - 720°+MMAE

Founder | Huang Mei

Dr. Huang Mei is the founder of 720°+ MMAE (Moving Meditation Art Experience), an international art space.

Her artistic practice begins with embodied experience and brings together contemporary art, meditation, and social inquiry.
She explores how art takes place in real life and how it connects with the lived condition of the individual.

MY story

Life Experience & Artistic Core

Whatever life brings her, she chooses to accept it and to shape a different way of living from it.

On her 36th birthday, Dr. Huang Mei was confronted with a profound turning point:
a diagnosis of advanced cancer.
At nearly the same time, fundamental personal relationships came to an end.
Body, emotions, and everyday life were pushed to their limits simultaneously.

Faced with this reality, she did not choose to close herself off.

Instead, within this extreme life experience, her life opened anew. Her professional path accelerated, she entered a more mature marriage and experienced genuine love. She consciously returned to the body — through movement, skating, skiing, and water sports— rediscovering the flow of life through strength, speed, and presence.

This was not accidental. In her understanding, what sustained her was a powerful inner core: a lasting longing for art, beauty, and the possibilities of life..

Toward Death, Toward Life

An Open Life, an Open Art

Dr. Huang Mei firmly believes:
Life should not be confined—and neither should art.

Her artistic philosophy is rooted in concrete, lived experience.
Body, vulnerability, limitation, and transformation are not abstract concepts, but realities that are experienced, reflected upon, and continually addressed.

In this sense, art is not merely the presentation of works, but a process of experience, awareness, and dialogue—
a way of re-sensing one’s relationship to the self and the world.

For this reason, her artistic practice remains open and continues to engage with people from diverse cultural and social backgrounds.

The Emergence of 720°+ MMAE

720°+ MMAE is not a gallery in the traditional sense.
It is an experimental art space that brings together art, meditation, embodied experience, and social themes.

The space grew out of Dr. Huang Mei’s long-term artistic practice and her lived life experiences.
It was created to offer an environment that is both professionally grounded and openly accessible, where art is not only viewed but experienced, participated in, and activated through exchange.

It is a privately initiated art space with a clear public-interest orientation, open to people from diverse backgrounds.

Long-Term Life Art Project

“The Third Eye”

“The Third Eye” is a long-term photographic art project initiated by Dr. Huang Mei and rooted in her own life experience.

Centered on the body, the project uses the ostomy bag as a highly embodied object and visual medium.
Through photography and continuous artistic production, the work explores ways of seeing, embodied experience,
and social assumptions of what is considered “normal.”

In the summer of 2025, Dr. Huang Mei met photographer Ma Xiaojing in Berlin, and together they began developing this body of work.
Between 2025 and 2026, the project aims to complete 100 selected works, which will unfold through exhibitions and public presentations.

This project is not merely a series of images, but an ongoing practice of life art.
