EVENT DESCRIPTION
Brooklyn-based Korean artist Stickymonger (also known as Joohee Park) brings her two-dimensional work to life for the first time with her giant strawberry art installation series Strawberry Stalker at K11 MUSEA!
Spanning more than 2 metres in height, a large strawberry lies on its side in the round glass sphere of Gold Ball. A multi-disciplinary artist who developed her obsession with black, sticky fluidity from playing with oil drums next to her family’s gas station as a child, Stickymonger’s work is a representation of her imaginative universe.
With this artwork, Stickymonger asks the question: at what point in your life did you decide strawberries are cute? To her, there’s nothing cute about strawberries; they just are.
Living in this digital day and age — constantly being exposed to and overstimulated by ideas, opinions and thoughts wherever we turn — we become more susceptible than ever to conditioned thinking and behaviour. To Stickymonger, the question of whether or not strawberries are cute was a gateway to something bigger — that we’ve been conditioned to think that way — the very inspiration behind the Strawberry Stalker series.
To commemorate the giant strawberry installation, Stickymonger has designed a series of collectable Strawberry Crystal Ball blind boxes, with a limited 500 units each available in black, red, pink and white, exclusively on K11 Design Store eSHOP and on K11 ESHOP. The black and white colourway is specially made to celebrate this momentous collaboration with K11 MUSEA. Encasing the strawberry in a clear case placed on a wooden base with a copper nameplate, the artwork is a playful decoration for any space.
