    【Brand New Youth - Design Workshop】'This is not a stool’ making workshop

    The classic round folding stool has never been a single function and is full of plasticity. It is a tribute to it when we take it as an inspiration root to start developing something else .

    In the event, through sharing some basic woodworking skills and methods by instructor Ng Ka Chun from Mudwork, participants would be able to transform the folding stool into a ‘small musical instrument’ with personal characteristics, making it not only for sitting but also producing music and fun.

    Remarks: All works made by participants will be owned by Design Spectrum and Design Spectrum will select two or three pieces of works for display during the exhibition period.

In many of his works, he puts a spin on ready-made objects, presenting an alternative perspective that challenges the commonly accepted way of life. He also responds to social issues concerning fast-paced development in the city and preservation with interventional installations. In recent years, he has participated in several public/community art projects including Art in MTR ,“Hi! Hill”, M+ Rover and etc. The work “Cement Ping Pong Table” was selected in the Project of Art Promotion Office “Public Art Scheme 2015”.
