Following up the last post about the "upcoming" exhibition from Carrie Chau,
here comes the night before it starts. The setup will probably
last the whole night until early in the morning like 5am. It will
feature over 100 pieces of original artworks, a 2.5m tall Black Sheep
sculpture, the release of her new book and a whole range of new
products out of her paintings.
My part is rather small in the entire setup, I just vacated a space in Times Square
city'super
and helped the setup of Carrie's products in the store for sale, I came
back home around 1:30am. I'm looking forward to go see her
paintings upstairs in Times Square mall just above those 4 long
escalators.
This huge figure and installation is situated now
in Times Square ground floor outdoor space to direct people to go
upstairs to an atrium area where the exhibition is held. The
compartment is made entirely from wood with a touch of street lamp post
and road signs.
The exhibition starts on Sunday 2nd Sep and last
until 16th Sep 2007 everyday from 10am to 10pm. While the
paintings and her book is for sale in the exhibition space, all other
new merchandise including leather notebook, the black sheep figures,
tote bags, desk lamps, trash can, postcards and matchboxes etc etc will
be sold in
city'super in basement Times Square.
This ~12" figure came in a big box with a metal
plate serialized for limited edition of 250pcs. I'm totally
amazed by the fine details of it because the original was just a
painting, but it looks exactly like it should be and it is super
cute! You would think it is really handmade by Carrie herself.
I'm also thrilled by the production power of
Homeless Concepts,
which found good quality manufacturers to create such a full line of
products based on Carrie's drawings. Well done Heyman and
John! Of course there are more of you behind all these whom I
don't know your names.
So go check out the exhibition while you still
have a chance and come to the basement to get the products, mind you
that most of the stocks already shipped overseas, there will be limited
stocks in Hong Kong. We expect good ones will be sold-out within
one week's time. I will take more pictures to share with you here.
