Designed to coincide with the Hong Kong handover 10th anniversary, each ST/ART artist presented two artworks for this group show – one for the 10 years past, and one for the future. A personal look at the ever-changing city that we call home, the show was a great success and our thanks goes to all who supported it.

ROCKIT 06 / 25/26.10.2006

Over the two day ROCKIT 06 music festival in Hong Kong’s Victoria Park, a dozen or so ST/ART members, designed, built and painted a huge interactive, 3D mural installation made entirely from recycled cardboard boxes. A lot of paint, a little rain, a few new recruits and a reasonable amount of beer later and the piece was complete - just in time to be torn to bits and thrown away... Beauty is indeed transient.
