POW WOW Day 1 Recap: Above Second | Hypebeast

Just recently, a mix creative minds from throughout the world congregated in Hong Kong for the launch of the inaugural art and musically-minded POW WOW affair. Headed by the minds over at Double Knot, things kicked off with the “WHAM BAM THANK YOU MA’AM!!!” exhibition at the newly opened Above Second gallery in the fledlging creative district of Sheung Wan. American-born, Hong Kong-based artist Jasper Wong came together with Chinese-born, Paris-based YUE Wu as they created a series of pieces exclusively for the show. Within the showing as well were some collaborative pieces which embodied the aesthetics of both artists. With a mostly commercial art scene dominating Hong Kong’s artistic landscape, we look forward to more events and initiatives from the creators of POW WOW.
