Located at the intersection of Ngau Tau Kok Road and Kwun Tong Road, the East Kowloon Cultural Centre (EKCC) is a new vibrant development of the local neighbourhood. As its facilities and public spaces continue to be rolled out, the EKCC is bringing fresh art and cultural vibes to the area. Through the East Kowloon Cultural Centre Public Artwork Commissioning Project, the Art Promotion Office called for proposals from creative talents such as artists, designers, and architects from March to May 2020, inviting them to create public artworks that captures and showcases on the past, present, and future of East Kowloon. The works are to be installed within the EKCC, creating a lush, harmonious artistic garden landscape that connects the public with art and culture.
Two sets of commissioned works are STICKYLINE’s Living in the City and Cornelia Erdmann’s Nine Dragons’ Dance. The first set has been completed, featuring a flock of geometric 3D sparrows at The Corner near the Ngau Tau Kok Road Bus Station that welcomes travellers with a heart-warming visual experience. The second set is yet to be unveiled, featuring nine dragons set to dance amid a dreamy symphony of colours in an opulent atrium. As you visit the EKCC, admire its magnificent architecture and immerse yourself in its cultural ambience, be sure to stop by these two wonderfully inspired works and feel their captivating charm!
