ArtisTree Selects: Imagination Investments by Coco Capitán

EVENT DESCRIPTION

Taikoo Place unveils its headline programme, ArtisTree Selects: Imagination Investments by globally celebrated artist Coco Capitán, as part of Swire Properties Arts Month coinciding with Art Basel Hong Kong. Running from 19 March to 26 April 2026, the exhibition takes place at ArtisTree and across Taikoo Place. Conceived as a three-part installation, the exhibition reflects on the themes of memory, longing and connection, offering an evocative dialogue between contemporary art and urban culture.

Born in Seville, Spain and currently based in London, UK, Coco Capitán has emerged as one of the most influential artists of her generation, traversing the worlds of art, photography and fashion. Internationally recognised for her analogue photography and distinctive voice, all her works famously incorporate elements of her idiosyncratic handwritten texts. These texts are often infused with an acute sense of humour tempered by melancholy, and have received sustained critical attention over the past decade. Her work has been presented by leading institutions worldwide and embraced through collaborations with some of the world’s most prominent fashion houses.

For this large-scale exhibition debut in Hong Kong, ArtisTree Selects: Imagination Investments transforms Taikoo Place into a seamless artistic journey, which brings together photographs, paintings on canvas and sails, poems, an in-situ project, a participatory installation, and public interventions. The journey begins at ArtisTree, extending through a text-based public art intervention and culminating on the top floor of One Island East. In collaboration with leading Swiss wealth management group Julius Baer, the month-long exhibition invites visitors to reflect on how memories and meanings are formed and preserved through time, images, poetic text and interpersonal connections.
