Upcoming exhibition at The Pulse, Hong Kong
Mixed Colours: Rebirth
MIX COLOURS: REBIRTH is a cross-cultural art exhibition featuring 22 international artists and curated by Marie-Florence Gros (La Galerie Paris 1839) and Christel Villepelet.
MIX COLOURS: REBIRTH is a burst of colours to celebrate the energy of life, the power of diversity and natural beauty, and to highlight the links between cultures.
Wrecked on our island, or stuck elsewhere, forbidden to travel, we have cherished even more the vivid beauty around us. While pollution, globalization, threaten to fade the world’s colours and contrasts, while unexpected new threats have changed our perspectives, this exhibition enhances colours as symbols of the natural and cultural diversity to save, the original beauty to admire, the source of rebirth: a positive and energetic sight to create tomorrow’s world.
Julie & Jesse will be showing three pairs of Fragment(s) to benefit the charity work of Children of the Mekong.

Play Lives
Play is useless. Play is good. Everybody plays. Not all the time. So what is play? How does it work? Why is it good? How do we design for play? So many questions – is there enough time? Enter the rabbit hole: toying with the concept of play as a positive agent in people’s lives, the PLAY LIVES exhibition takes visitors through design for play’s wonderland.

Upcoming exhibition at PMQ, Hong Kong
Re-edit
Re-edit is a showcase initiated by Hong Kong’s creative hub, PMQ.
Julie & Jesse will be showing Terra Mobiles. Do come and visit and interact with our mobile sculptures.
This exhibition opens with a poetic fantasy, the Bao Shan, which presents an imaginative landscape inspired by traditional Chinese culture: a ritual of the local fishing communities praying for safety from pirates. It is juxtaposed with ten distinctive designs by some of the most promising design talents of Hong Kong’s next generations. The key themes of the exhibition centre on layers of identity: from identity on a personal level, such as what we think, where we fit in, what we are attached to, and what piques our curiosity and creativity, to brand identity and city status, such as what our social norms are, what the relationship between fast culture and urban life is like, and what propels our designs into the future.
Nowadays, culture, design and business are fields that increasingly overlap as more and more leading businesses take on the humanistic task of re-editing and re-launching values, skills, standards of education and knowledge exchange, and all in all, standards of humanity. The works in this showcase reflect how subjects of identity are shaped by language, place, community, media, technology, social and political consciousness, heritage, sustainability, craftsmanship, customs, beliefs and more.

Critically Homemade
“DESIGN TRUST: Critically Homemade” was born out of a survey within the Design Trust community and to date we have 70+ designers donating their time and creative works towards the programme. Participants include Design Trust grantees, fellows, advisors, Design Trust Futures Studio (DTFS) mentors and mentees, as well as its extended local and international community, to create a prototype (sized 20 x 20 x 20cm max) at home, that responds to and offers solutions to current societal and environmental challenges. Designers were allotted three weeks each to create their object and were encouraged to collaborate and design for a wide-ranging audience.
“DESIGN TRUST: Critically Homemade” will grow into a wider community exhibition and fundraising programme with the prototype launch at Soho House’s House Studio opening to the public on 21st September – 4th October 2020. Following the exhibition, our Design Trust Champion partners will be involved in a vetting procedure to determine prototypes to be further developed. These final objects will be part of a community fundraising programme of designer items and one-of-a-kind experiences. All proceeds will go towards the ongoing funding of Design Trust seed grants in relation to the COVID-19 challenges and provide immediate support to social/design programmes that will benefit the wider community.

Matter Matters
City Arts Festival
The global instability has given us a chance to both strip old mindsets and embrace new developments in New Materials that would otherwise gone unnoticed. “We have to continually be jumping off cliffs and developing our wings on the way down”. Kurt Vonnegut’s remark at the end of the last century appears more fitting than ever today. The sudden “social distancing“ temporarily prevents human interaction, yet it also gives us an ample amount of time to reflect on material, spirituality, and creativity. We gradually realize that the objects we have taken for granted appear differently now. So we start asking. What makes a material meaningful? What materials truly add value to society? Where do everyday objects come from? And where will they go? What do we need to prepare, both physically and mentally, for the upcoming post-pandemic lifestyle?
We are proud to be showing showing our latest installation of 12 porcelain vases called The Jingtao Cichang Project alongside 33 global frontier designers, artists, scientists, and material creators.
