Chinese Telecom Company / Casa Battlo Barcelona
Art Evening
H!TANG&ChinaCreativeConnections were contacted to conceptualize an art evening for a large-scale Chinese Telecom Company, as part of the Barcelona Telecom conference.
The Chinese Telecom Company hosted 150 VIP's in one of Barcelona's heritage buildings, the magnificent Gasa Battlo designed by Antonio Gaudi. Following the very organic design elements of the house and Barcelona's identity as a port city, we conceptualized a theme around the sea and sea animals. Some leading artists in Barcelona created sculptures in bronze, paper and mosaics for this event, creating a surprising contrast of styles and textures.
Guests got to interact with the artists themselves who were creating work in situ (live) on the upper floor of the house in pop up workshops. Guests were also able to make simple creations out of paper themselves on a special origami making table. Finally, a mosaic work was made as a collaborative effort of the artist and the guests, with the theme of the evening "one art world" and the aquatic elements that ran all throughout the evening.
