Recap Video for KAWS:HOLIDAY HONG KONG
Officially launched March 22nd at Victoria Harbour, the 37-meter long inflatable sculpture installation ended two days earlier than it's intended schedule, due to strong winds forecast for the weekend. This was what S.K. Lam (curator and creative director of organizer AllRightsReserved) had posted on Facebook:
"Time for KAWS:HOLIDAY to say goodbye… before the upcoming unstable weather!
After a week of relaxing time at the Victoria Harbour Hong Kong, COMPANION thanks all fans for visiting, with special gratitude to the marine staff who have worked and safeguarded COMPANION 24-7 non-stop at the harbour. In view of the upcoming unstable weather over weekend forecasted by Hong Kong Observatory, it’s time for KAWS:HOLIDAY to say goodbye to all tomorrow (March 29), to avoid any unnecessary circumstances of KAWS: HOLIDAY, as well as to ensure the safety of marine staff.
Once again, we thank Hong Kong, all working partners, locals and visitors for the generous support. We look forward to meeting all of you on the next journey!" (via coconuts.co)
