Laugh your socks off at Just The Tonic’s September Amici showcase. Cocky Canadian Phil Nichols is returning to the stand after three long years hamming it up on the West End stage.

Mall Arts
The concept behind MEGartSTORE is simple – gallery is mall, mall is gallery. Five exhibition spaces encompassing health and beauty, leisure and entertainment, home and garden, rest, food and beverage features exciting collaborations bet ween artists and architects in mall-like surroundings. From the life-sized tank made of the same type of wood used for baby cots, to the everyday supermarket products of tinned fish and crisp packets lining shelves – ordered by colour to create a rainbow display morphingfrom yellow to orange, pink to red – a trip to this exhibition is plain good fun. However, look more carefully to notice the indisputable air of cynicism floating around. Andy Warhol once said, “If you close a shopping mall now and open it again in a hundred years time, it will be a contemporary art museum.” MEGartSTORE has fast-forwarded the process. The only thing they’re selling, though, is the experience.
When: Until November 27
Monday, Wednesday – Saturday, 10am – 6pm
Sunday and public holidays 10am – 7pm
Where: Hong Kong Heritage Museum
1 Man Lam Road, Shatin

Nice Chest
Art isn’t just for those able to wield a paintbrush or manipulate some clay. Nor is it about poncing aboutfrom gallery to gallery talking extortionate prices. It can be, but it doesn’t have to be. Arts website now.com.hk developed Jam Project and, joining  creative forces with design workshop AllRightsReserved, brewed up the canny idea of bypassing canvas and putting art right where you can see it – across the front of a T-Shirt. “As all of us here are tee lovers, we love the idea of having a tee that is both stylish and at the same time carries belief and a message that can make others feel better,” says Ada Kwok of now.com.HK The message here is “Share… feel better” and artists contributed their work over six different categories. Trendsters D-Mop, (9, 2/F, Tower 1, Silvercord, 30 Canton Rd, TST,) stepped up to host the exhibition bringing the project firmly into the commercial arena. The designs are released throughout August. The witty responses of designers from Japan, Australia, USA and the host Hong Kong are available for $198 at D-Mop or now’s website, giving individualists the chance to flaunt art on their chests. |
