ArtisTree proudly presents ArtisTree Selects: Enchanted Forest by Joana Vasconcelos, as one of the highlighted programmes of Swire Properties Arts Month 2024. This captivating and mesmerising exhibition combining textiles, lighting and installation arts, will run from 22 March to 28 April 2024, showcasing the remarkable talent and creativity of the Portuguese visual artist Joana Vasconcelos.

 Internationally acclaimed, Vasconcelos has exhibited at many world-renowned museums and recently came second on the list of The Guardian’s “Best Art and Architecture of 2023”. This March, Vasconcelos will present her two site-specific monumental installations for the first time at ArtisTree and Two Taikoo Place, which are in direct response to the city and the community. Vasconcelos's signature focus on textile takes center stage with this latest exhibition, as she skillfully intertwines artistry and everyday objects in her installations. Individually named, Enchanted Forest and Valkyrie Seondeok, the two awe-inspiring installations weave a mythological fantasy that immerses visitors and encourages them to reflect on the artwork in relation to its environment.

Venue address: 1/F, Cambridge House, 979 King's Road, Quarry Bay

In celebration of the annual Swire Properties Arts Month, ArtisTree is pleased to unveil ArtisTree Selects: Urban Rocks, a contemporary art exhibition featuring brand new sculptural works by Hong Kong-based French artist Polo Bourieau (b. 1968, Nantes, France) running from 16 March to 9 April 2023. 

Curated by Hong Kong-based curator Alison Pickett, ArtisTree Selects: Urban Rocks is Polo Bourieau’s largest solo exhibition to date, debuting a collection of 12 new stone sculptures made in the intimacy of his Tuscan workshop in Pietrasanta, Italy, in 2021. His creations are inspired by Chinese scholars’ rocks and the way they were shaped and formed by the forces of nature. Throughout the formation process over millennia, these abundances of rocks witnessed the most furious, ragging, and cataclysmic conditions that the planet can offer. Profiling a metaphor for humanity’s indelible mark on the planet, the exhibition invites visitors to reflect on the meaning of human existence, the impact we make on the modern world, and the fears in the age of Anthropocene.

ArtisTree Selects: Urban Rocks is also part of Swire Properties’ Placemaking approach to progressively advocate Taikoo Place as an inspiring, sustainable and enjoyable workplace, both vital to the health of communities and our society. ArtisTree Selects is a series of specially commissioned and curated programmes at Taikoo Place’s multipurpose space ArtisTree, introducing original and thought-provoking arts and culture exhibitions and performances that are easily accessible by the public.

Venue address: 1/F Cambridge House, Taikoo Place, 979 King’s Road, Quarry Bay

ArtisTree is pleased to present “ArtisTree Selects: The Missing Something – The Singing Canvases”, an artistic showcase by Ivana Wong. The exhibition is Wong’s solo debut that stages installation in multiple forms of media on view to the public.

In her first-ever show at ArtisTree, the exhibition features a series of visually compelling installation that encompasses music, chiaroscuro, video footage and written words created by the local singer-songwriter and actress turned artist. In a carefully curated pathway, it invites audiences to embark a poetic sensory journey and through it, Wong hopes to evoke the concept of reliving memories, revitalise the act of ‘sharing’, and contemplate lost feelings in our everyday lives.

Presented by ArtisTree and part of Swire Properties’ Arts Month 2021 programme, the ArtisTree Selects: Light In/Out film and exhibition invites visitors to experience the film that marries the colourful, eccentric bubble dresses created by Norwegian artist Fredrik Tjærandsen and mesmerising images of his work. 

The bubble dresses and art installation created by Tjærandsen are made from biodegradable natural rubber latex, sourced sustainably and responsibly from growers in Sri Lanka. 

Drawing inspiration from the changing aspects of lives under the pandemic to reflect human resilience and reconnection, the film allows visitors to interact with shapes, movement and visual textures in the installation for an inspiring immersive experience.
