Daydreaming with…The Hong Kong Edition, a groundbreaking multi-media exhibition of 30 plus local and international award-winning artists, makes its Asia debut at the ArtisTree, from 4 May to 7 June.
The pioneering exhibition is proudly supported by Swire Properties, a long-term patron of the arts.
The exhibition is a unique opportunity for visitors to experience multi-media artworks by leading creatives in Asia such as Cang Xin, Li Wei, Wing Shya, Prodip Leung, Motohiko Odani, Jayne Dyer and Huang Rui, alongside celebrated artists from Europe and the US.
This is a unique and visceral exhibition that develops the original concept of the Daydreaming with… James Lavelle London show, which achieved world-wide acclaim in 2010 with its innovative examination of the relationship between art and music
The Hong Kong edition of Daydreaming with… is curated by James Lavelle (of UNKLE / Mo’Wax fame) & Hong Kong installation artist and painter Simon Birch and presented by Future Industries, an innovative Hong Kong-based art organization.
The artists’ unique installations have been produced in response to exclusive new music composed by UNKLE. The multi-media event which includes film, sculpture, painting and performance, celebrates artforms that cross borders; visitors partake in a multi-sensory dialogue that explores the marriage of music and art.
This exciting new edition of Daydreaming with.. features work by leading European artists such as 3D (from the band Massive Attack), Polly Borland, Ian Monroe, American graffiti legend Futura 2000, and new work by former LMF star Prodip Leung, an installation by Turner Prize nominee Nathan Coley, a video installation from Doug Foster, and video art specifically produced for the exhibition by Wing Shya and Daniel Wu.
There will also be a new installation from British duo Clarke & Reilly, renowned for their uniquely British aesthetic, and their innovative approach to interiors and design, through which they breathe life into the everyday object, transforming it into a work of art. Their installation will be sound tracked by new music from UNKLE.
The exhibition will showcase the work of long-standing collaborators of James Lavelle’s, alongside new commissions and partnerships, allowing existing and emerging artists to interact with and complement each other across creative platforms.
In 2010, Daydreaming with… James Lavelle gained critical acclaim with its imaginative re-working of a traditional exhibition, and this year the project grows in size, ambition and scope, as East meets West for a ground-breaking event in an exciting new context.
Location: The exhibition will be held at ArtisTree, the 20,000 sq.ft. multi-purpose space on the first floor of Cornwall House, Tai Koo Place (Quarry Bay MTR Exit A)
