Minale-Maeda: Tasteful.
You are what you eat? Netherlands-based design duo Mario Minale and Kuniko Maeda would have a view on that. To this innovative pair, food is as much a matter for the eyes as for the stomach and their subversive take on the aesthetics of gastronomy owes more to the school of Dada than Cordon Bleu.
They have even designed a dress for Jean Paul Gaultier made entirely out of meat! Seeing is believing – so come and see for yourself as Kwun Tong’s APM mall gets its first taste of avant-garde art, put on specially for culture-hungry shoppers.
The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad full movie Showing: October 1-7, 2007
At: APM, 418 Kwun Tong Road, Kwun Tong, Hong Kong
Hours: 12:00pm – 2:00am
