We’re finally seeing some sunshine here in Hong Kong, after the ridiculous weeks of rain. But then again, it is the monsoon season here. It’s still rather humid and quite hot, but the shops are already stocking up on thicker layers. While a lot of people would fill their closets with black and white, neutrals … Continued
Surprisingly, what had first caught my eyes were the textures. It was the thickness of the cutout pieces, the brush marks left behind on the paint, and the dots and faint words showing through. I was not in a rush to make out the composition, usually what I’d do with collages. What had caught my … Continued
Cai Guo-Qiang is no strange name to those who admire largescale, site-specific art. Known for his range of unique firework installations, particularly with his direction for the opening and closing ceremony at the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, Cai will be working with Hennessy this September for the 15-minute piece, “A World Odyssey”.

Inspired by Playplax children’s design toy in the 70’s, Melbourne-based Zahava Elenberg has transformed its very … Continued
If you have read last month’s selection, you would know how I have been feeling. We’re already more than halfway through 2020 and things are still as is, so I guess the only thing left to do is to try and feel fine. I’ve realized that vibrant colors are giving me a positive boost. Check … Continued
