The RE: Tai Kok Tsui – Public Space Art Intervention Open Call 02 offers a unique opportunity for creative minds from around the globe to contribute to the revitalization of this dynamic community. This initiative, part of an urban renewal project supported by public art, seeks proposals that can turn everyday spaces into canvases that spark conversation and community interaction.
Creative Opportunities Await
Three distinctive locations have been chosen for this transformative project:
- Chevalier Industrial Building at 43-45 Beech Street: A canvas for ideas that reimagine and reconnect the surroundings with innovative 2D artworks or installations.
- Pedestrian Refuge Island at Fuk Tsun Street and Ivy Street: An opportunity to create a landmark that enhances the functionality and aesthetics of this busy community hub with 3D interactive artworks.
- Footbridge at Argyle Street and Tong Mi Road: An ideal spot for a welcoming mural that invites passersby into the heart of Tai Kok Tsui from the bustling Mong Kok district.
Inspiration from the Greats
Let the works of renowned place makers inspire you. Imagine the impact of Christo and Jeanne-Claude’s draped buildings and landscapes, or the playful spirit of Claes Oldenburg’s public sculptures. Like these artists, you have the power to transform perceptions of space and community through your artistic vision.
