A unique project spawned by the collaboration between arts and science, SPARK: The Science and Art of Creativity, is Hong Kong’s first-ever festival that celebrates creativity across the arts and sciences, organised by the British Council. The programme which ran from 18 to 20 January at Tai Kwun, saw HKSAR Chief Executive Carrie Lam unveil Neon Spark, a unique artwork sponsored by Phillips auction house, conceived and designed by British Chinese artist Faye Wei Wei and then fabricated in neon by one of Hong Kong’s last neon light masters.
With more than 30 events over three days and over 50 creative and education partners from the UK and Hong Kong, SPARK encouraged visitors to immerse in a holistic experience, one at the juncture of art, creativity, science and education.
