Date: 21 JAN 2022 to 23 MAR 2022
Location: 2F, Gold Ball, K11 MUSEA
New York-based Korean artist Stickymonger (also known as Joohee Park) brings her first-ever giant strawberry art installation spanning more than 2 metres in height to K11 MUSEA Gold Ball!
Spanning more than 2 metres in height, this large strawberry lies on its side in the round glass sphere of Gold Ball. A multi-disciplinary artist who developed her obsession with black, sticky fluidity from playing with oil drums next to her family’s gas station as a child, Stickymonger’s work is a representation of her imaginative universe.
With this artwork, Stickymonger asks the question: at what point in your life did you decide strawberries are cute? To her, there’s nothing cute about strawberries; they just are.
Living in this digital day and age — constantly being exposed to and overstimulated by ideas, opinions and thoughts wherever we turn — we become more susceptible than ever to conditioned thinking and behaviour. To Stickymonger, the question of whether or not strawberries are cute was a gateway to something bigger — that we’ve been conditioned to think that way — the very inspiration behind the Strawberry Stalker series.
Peer into the world of Stickymonger’s giant strawberry now at 2F, Gold Ball in K11 MUSEA!
To commemorate the giant strawberry installation, Stickymonger has designed a series of collectable Strawberry Crystal Ball blind boxes, with a limited 200 units each available in black & gold, red, pink and white, exclusively on K11 Design Store eSHOP and on K11 ESHOP. The black & gold and white colourway is specially made to celebrate this momentous collaboration with K11 MUSEA. Encasing the strawberry in a clear case placed on a wooden base with a copper nameplate, the artwork is a playful decoration for any space.
Continues the grotesque style and concept from Stickymonger.
