Went to London for a hen weekend + wedding in Austria, so had the perfect excuse to stay in London for a few days and pay visits to some of the art exhibitions.... Love the art scene in London! - here you go.

1) Hayward Gallery - The Edges of the world / The New Decor

There is also this charity campaign going on in London - over 250 elephants are placed around town in London, they will be auctioned off at the end of the event.

Art in Singapore

Went to Singapore for the long weekend and visited the Singapore Art Museum (SAM) - here are some photos...

Think the best part was drawing our self-portrait at the end! =) It was like being a kid once again!

Beijing trip: ArtBeijing + Opposite House + 1949

2010-05-06T17:14:00.012+08:00

Sorry - have disappeared for so long, been travelling a lot and have brought you all some interesting Art pieces from around the world! =) The first stop: Beijing

Went to the Art Beijing Fair last weekend, similar to the ARTHK10, which will take place at the end of this month (27-30 May - we will be opening our May show on the 29 May to go with this big international Art event in HK), many art galleries have their booths to showcase works of their artists. Unfortunately I was slightly disappointed by the fair, it wasn't as exciting as I hoped, maybe my expectation was a bit too high. But anyhow, let me share some photos with you all...

Stayed at the Opposite House while I was in Beijing, as most people would know, this is a hotel full of Art, by Swire - they have a reputation of putting amazing Art at their estates. And was indeed impressed by the eye-catching pieces.

Went to 1949 to have lunch at this super good noodle place - apparently they have a constantly changing art works too!

Woo hoo! We just finished installing the artworks for We Play Endlessly! Looks AMAZING - fits the space perfectly - the colour, the theme, the playfulness... =) Am very excited about the opening tonight!

Here are some photos (sneak preview!) for you to get as excited as we are - See you all tomorrow! =)

Art in Taipei

2010-03-22T16:25:00.012+08:00

Went to Taipei for the weekend - mainly for eating, drinking and shopping, but as I walked around town, there were many pleasant (artsy) surprises. We definitely need more of that in Hong Kong, they really do spice things up - make the city a lot livelier!

Asia Top Gallery Hotel Art Fair HK 2010

2010-03-02T02:45:00.005+08:00

Went to this hotel art fair on Sunday at the Grand Hyatt - an art fair that has a similar concept to ours - it brings art out of the gallery space and showcases art works in an unconventional venue - in hotel rooms: on beds, bathtubs, hung on windows. It's an interesting concept and certainly attracted quite a lot of people - sales seemed to have done well too (saw a lot of red dots on the price list) and prices are affordable.

A bit of background knowledge: the Asia Top Gallery Hotel Art Fair (AHAF they call it) was first held in 2008 in the New Otani Hotel in Tokyo and the second one was held in 2009 at the Grand Hyatt Seoul. And this year, they have moved to Hong Kong and the Grand Hyatt in Wan Chai was the host to this event.

Maybe next year, MobArt can participate in this hotel art fair too! =)

Oh, gotta mention this: our office opening party/show was a blast - thank you all for your support! =) Think we had over 100 people at the event! Have uploaded photos on our facebook page - check them out!

MoB I WoB - MobArt's Office Opening Party

Counting down... 1.5 days to go...

MobArt's Office Opening show coming up this Thu (25th Feb)!

We are super excited about this event, it's been a while since we last caught up with our MobArt friends! And this year will be the most exciting year for MobArt! As we have got plenty more artists, plenty more shows AND our OWN SPACE!

But don't worry, our concept is still the same - we curate art shows around town in lounges/coffee shops/restaurants/shops etc. bringing art to your doorstep. But we just need to have a space to do some work.

Apart from having a new space, we have also got more people on the ground running this MobArt machine! So sit tight for some exciting shows ahead!

In order to kick start the year of 2010 (tiger), we would like to celebrate with you our space with some drinks, nibbles and great art.

We are doing a mini-show titled MoB I WoB at our office, featuring 6 local aritsts:
- Sara J Beazley
- Emily Eldridge
- Flora Lau
- Queenie Rosita Law
- Don Mak
- Esther Yip
(this show's theme is B&W and the colour in between)

There will be 19 pieces of work on exhibit -so please come along and join us for a chill out evening!

Show: MoB I WoB (MobArt's office opening party)
Date: 25th Feb 2010 (thu)
Time: 6.30pm start
Venue: G/f, ONE Tai On Terrace, Sheung Wan, Hong Kong
