‘GLASSBLOOM’ Interactive Art Exhibition Dazzles with 10 Photo Spots
Glass is said to have been invented as early as 2,000 BC in ancient Egypt. The molten sand is vitrified under different fusion temperature to refract multi-chromatic light on its surface at different angles with different finishes. K11 concludes this year with an exhibition that brings together generation Z students from the Department of Cultural and Creative Arts at the Education University of Hong Kong to rethink the different attributes of GLASS --- Gravity, Life, Art, Sound and Story, underscore the power of traditional iconography, embody art education, and reflect the beauty, vulnerability, and transformative power of glass. The reflection properties of different vitric materials are stretched to the limit to create a psychedelic wonderland of colours and light in a magical setting!
