China Darlings Exhibition
2023, Taikoohui, Shanghai
The China Darlings exhibition was a collaborative idea, launched together with media company Fashion Zoo, our aim for this showcase was to highlight young talent from China, from fashion designers, to installation artists, to furniture and object makers. Combining their talents with traditional chinese craftsmanships, whilst working with local artisans to create new and re-imagined works together with contemporary creatives. The exhibition highlighted the works of 30 artists from multiple mediums. The exhibition was curated and art directed by our founder, Bryant Lee, with the support of retail giant Taikoohui and Chagee. Along with pieces from SHANGXIA and Zhuchongyun.
For the space, we wanted to create a U shape pathway, for the viewer to explore the exhibition, as it was divided into three categories, from small objects, to fashion design to installations and furnitures. We processed with wooden structures, it was the best way to showcase and highlight the chosen designers and artists, acting as a simple backdrop to highlight their work. Along with the 30 creatives, BLOOP BLOOP original art works were also presented, Mini Tails, Spider Stool and the < 3 heart candles.
