REN @ EAST | Art & Community brings together emerging artists, community voices, and creative practice during Art Month. It opens with a panel discussion "Ideas To Wake Up To" - exploring how art can become more accessible, inclusive, and rooted in the communities around us – creating real pathways for the next generation of artists in Hong Kong – followed by a month-long exhibition at the hotel showcasing myriad works from emerging artists that celebrate the resilience and spirit of the youths of our city.
The spatial design demands a simple yet iconic set up with branding identity for r é n . It also needs to keep the existing hotel lobby in operation intact after the showcase. The concept transforms typical easels for paintings through embedding the logo of r é n as structural elements. Paintings of various sizes and demountable lighting can then be clamped onto the easels while removable tapes are used to anchor temporary wall lamps for artwork display on walls or columns.
