Rosewood Front Row

As a proud supporter of the Art Basel fair, Rosewood Hong Kong is introducing its international and local network of art and cultural luminaries, providing the opportunities for our guests, communities, NGOs, and school partners to get up close to learn and appreciate their artistry.

Front Row: Crafting a Culture of Creativity

Dive into the world of international art and design with the inaugural event in the Front Row culture series. Rosewood Hong Kong brings together a panel of international art and design luminaries to explore the pivotal role of art, design, and heritage in shaping our collective future and crafting a sense of place on March 19 at M+. The talk features Amsterdam-based architect Piet Boon and artist Frederik Molenschot, world-renowned Hong Kong architect Dr. Rocco Yim, Trish Luyckx, Chief Design and Project Services Officer at Rosewood Hotel Group, and is moderated by Marisa Yiu, Executive Director and Lead Curator of Design Trust.

In addition, Rosewood Hong Kong will feature Frederik Molenschot’s artwork ‘S TATI CA’ at the Gallery Lobby on level two of Rosewood Hong Kong between March 17 to April 2, 2024. The work is a manifestation of site specificity, a dynamic sculpture that metamorphoses in response to the unique characteristics of its surroundings. Central to this specific piece are two chairs, seemingly distinct yet intricately merged into a sculptural narrative. The chairs themselves embody clarity in structure, but within, an enigmatic clove-like presence beckons, inviting viewers into a world of discovery. Within the chairs, a microcosm unfolds – a bustling community of grass people populating some areas, while other spaces offer a more serene retreat. The strategic placement of two seating areas, facing each other, transforms the artwork into a social space. It becomes a meeting point, encouraging interaction among visitors who, in this shared experience, contribute to the ever-evolving narrative.
