A Feast for the Senses: Ten Curated Journeys Through Art You Can Taste

Step into a world where art comes alive through both sight and taste. Across ten immersive galleries, each inspired by an iconic art movement, visitors embark a journey where every installation is thoughtfully paired with a specially crafted edible delight. Accessible to all and designed to thrill, this highly photogenic, one-of-a-kind experience redefines how art is explored while celebrating the ‘Made in Hong Kong’ spirit with site‐specific works by two renowned artists, Angela Yuen and Frog King (Kwok Mang‐ho), spotlighting the Hong Kong Contemporary Art movement and the New Ink Art movement.

Kick-off the journey with “Pop It!”, a playful burst of balloons, colour, and Neo-Pop art energy. Try the claw machine to retrieve a Jelly Dog, and capture standout shots against the reflective, bubble-filled backdrop. Then step into “The Magic Makers” presented by local artist Angela Yuen, where a whimsical Hong Kong tale unfolds through manufactured relics, from classic vintage toys to everyday electronic parts, tracing the city’s past, present and future, paired with Choc Duck which is inspired by a nostalgic local favourite toy.

“Roll with It” brings colour, light, and geometry together in a modernist cascade of Fruit Ribbons ready for visitors to savour. At “Drip”, bold, abstract‐expressionist flows become a living painting, where visitors can pull a Liquid Palette drink straight from the installation.

“Go Bananas!” leads you through a mirrored fruit tunnel for mesmerizing photo moments, finished with a witty Banana bite. In “Feast Your Eyes”, peek into dreamlike scenes to uncover The Tin, a silky coconut panna cotta with Dali‐esque surprises, then wander a vividly staged table that brings Surrealism to life.

At “Cabinet of Curiosities” inspired by Spatialism, colourful drawers hide secret delights, open one to find the Hidden Gems. The journey crescendos in “Frogtopia” by artist Frog King (Kwok Mang‐ho), a joyful fusion of chaos, connection, and creative liberation. Step into his playground to experience the philosophy “art is life, life is art” through a vibrant, participatory installation. Here, crunchy Froggy Biscuits bring his spirit to the tip of the tongue and the taste buds.

Together, these ten experiences reimagine how art is explored and enjoyed—through sight, taste, scent, sound, and touch—turning every visit into something to live, learn, and remember.

These will feature immersive, site-specific installations developed in collaboration with renowned Hong Kong artists exclusively for the Fair, with details to be announced soon. Visitors can expect an accessible, interactive, and photogenic experience that redefines how art is explored and enjoyed.

International Art Movements Presented in a Bold New Way

The “Pop It!” gallery, inspired by the Neo-Pop movement, is an installation delightfully decorated with reflective bubble shapes in different sizes. A jelly balloon dog confection is retrieved from a giant claw machine that dominates the space. “Roll With It”, inspired by Modernism, features colour block light boxes and panels. An attendant serves guests with a colourful piece of savoury and sweet edible ribbon – available in an assortment of block colours.

Expressionism is the inspiration for “Drip”, featuring floor and walls decorated in the expressionist style and a drink experience offering flavoured drinks through coloured tubes, which are served to visitors. “Go Bananas!” represents the Conceptual Art movementthrough a playful display of replica fruits taped to the wall. Extending the sensory journey, a delicious miniature edible banana taped to a board is offered for visitors to take.

The Surrealism movement is represented in “Feast Your Eyes”, with a fully laid table inside a veil of curtains. Visitors put their heads behind the veil to discover the vivid setting. A tin of edible pearls offers an unexpected Dali-esque element of surprise. “Blue-tiful” is an optical illusion focused on perspective that highlights Optical Illusion Art and plays with the shape of an egg to form a perfect round shape within an immersive, blue-lit backdrop. In this gallery, visitor will receive an ‘Op-art egg’, an egg-shaped puff pastry filled with egg custard, presented in a classic egg carton, extending the Optical Illusion Art experience into a perfect multi- sensory indulgence.

The Impressionism movement is showcased in “Bloomin’ Marvellous”, an installation in two parts. First, a garden of giant flowers followed by a floral animation gallery with bean bags. ‘Focaccia flowers’ are blooming throughout the gallery, each delicate paper blossom cradling a piece of focaccia at its centre, filling the space with the rich aroma of olive oil and rosemary that entices every visitor to take a bite. A study in Spatialism is presented in “Cabinet of Curiosities”, where guests are invited to pick a ball from a colourful central display before opening a matching cabinet. Inside, a chocolate bonbon awaits – igniting the taste buds in a sweet cocoon.
