HK Art Fair 2012: Opening Night
Imagine a space the size of a football field. Now picture two levels that size filled with some of the biggest artists from around the world’s work on display. It’s one of the best visual feasts I’ve ever seen. This is the second year attending the fair and this time I was more prepared for the volume and quality of work I’d be seeing. After spending the grand opening Wednesday night I only got a taste of what was on display so I went back again yesterday and spent a solid three hours walking around looking at all the work. If you’re in Hong Kong over the next few days it’s a must to go check out. I was lucky enough to meet Michael Lau who is one of the original urban vinyl figurine artists who’s work I’ve been collecting. An extra treat was having a close family friend ‘Pia’ from Australia in town, who is here for the week working at one of the exhibitions for the fair. Great to see you Pee!
I apologies my dodgy iPhone pics don’t do it justice.

HK Art Fair 2012: KAWS Exhibition
Day one kicked off on Tuesday for HK Art Fair week and who better to launch one of my favorite weeks in Hong Kong, than the man himself KAWS. I’ve been an avid collector of his work back when I could actually afford it. His work was on display at an amazing gallery space in just as an amazing building on 50 Connaught Road, Central. It was a cool eclectic crowd of street culture, high end euros and a few well known faces peppered in. I was even lucky enough to me Mr KAWS. Later that night they had the after party at Dragon-i with a two great sets by HEARTSREVOLUTION and KOLKOZ spinning some great french electro they took me back to Le Baron. Def another huge tick to why I love living in HK.

Dissecting Creativity with Pharrell Williams Part 1
As Pharrell Williams touched down in Hong Kong last week to attend Carrera Presents Liberatum Hong Kong International Festival of Culture, the multi-faceted creative had a chance to sit down with HBTV amidst the pre-opening for Galerie Emmanuel Perrotin Hong Kong to converse about his personal interest in art as well as his creative process. With a resume that spans a vast range of creative mediums from music, film scoring, industrial design, sound design, and fashion design, Pharrell is one of the few individuals who are able to balance a diversity of projects while seamlessly maintaining consistency in his own identity as each endeavor unfolds. In our first colloquial dialogue with Pharrell — of which there will be an eventual two parts — he touches on everything from art, managing projects, his thoughts on the difference of American and Asian cuisine as well as sharing memories from his past experiences with NIGO.

Virgin Atlantic Airways Upper Class Bar and Cabin by VW+BS Studio
This spring, the first virgin atlantic airways A330 flight took off from london to new york, featuring a brand new bar and cabin, offering passengers a new experience when up 30 000 feet in the air. The design has been developed by the international VW + BS studio in partnership with the virgin atlantic team.
Four years ago, VW + BS were approached by virgin with a test brief to see what they could do if they had a free hand to redesign one of their planes. They researched the changing trends in travel and hospitality to produce an intelligence report that could form a reference for the client, and determine how these new ideas could be incorporated on board an aircraft. the existing product that was introduced in 2003 remained a market leader, but trends in travel were changing and virgin was determined to be the industry innovator. from the test project VW + BS went on to develop the real thing. the brief was very ambitious: to create an exciting and engaging social space for passengers, while meeting an immense technical requirement of a wide bodied plane with the strictest safety regulations.

To be honest I felt a bit let down when I first saw it because I would of thought with Jay-Z’s limitless source of creative talent they might of come up with something with a bit more punch. But it’s growing on me more. Go NETS!
