  • Serpentine Galleries and Wf Central Open the Inaugural
    SERPENTINE GALLERIES AND WF CENTRAL OPEN THE INAUGURAL SERPENTINE PAVILION BEIJING JIAKUN Architects have designed first Serpentine Pavilion co-commissioned and built outside the UK 30 May to 31 December 2018 The Serpentine Galleries (London) and WF CENTRAL (Beijing) have launched their major international collaboration: a new temporary architecture Pavilion, designed by JIAKUN Architects, at the WF CENTRAL development in Beijing. Modelled on the Serpentine’s annual Pavilion commission in London’s Royal Park of Kensington Gardens, the inaugural Serpentine Pavilion Beijing opened to the public on 30 May at WF CENTRAL on Wangfujing in Beijing’s Dongcheng District. Located just 600m away from the historic Forbidden City, this bustling area has been home to cultural and commercial activities since the middle of the Ming Dynasty. The Serpentine Pavilion Beijing is a public space for cultural activities, events and social encounters at the very heart of WF CENTRAL, with a programme of cultural activities programmed across five Pavilion Weekends over the summer. The eminent Chinese practice JIAKUN Architects, led by architect Liu Jiakun, has responded to the brief of designing a world-class temporary Pavilion that takes into consideration both the historic and social context of Beijing and the 17-year history of the Serpentine Pavilion commission. Initiated in 2000, the London scheme has showcased renowned architects from Zaha Hadid to Rem Koolhaas. With a focus on society, community and a respect for local context and vernacular craftsmanship, Liu Jiakun aims to address contemporary architectural issues with a sense of realism, an approach inspired by folk wisdom. His vision remains open to China's many traditions and his projects shed light on the reciprocal relation between Chinese public life and urban cultural space.

  • Zaha Hadid There Should Be No End to Experimentation 17 March – 6 April 2017 Artistree, Taikoo Place, 979 King's Road, Quarry Bay, Hong Kong
    Press Release 19 January 2017 ZAHA HADID THERE SHOULD BE NO END TO EXPERIMENTATION 17 MARCH – 6 APRIL 2017 ARTISTREE, TAIKOO PLACE, 979 KING'S ROAD, QUARRY BAY, HONG KONG ‘With experimentation, you think you’re going to find out one thing, but you actually discover something else ... more than you bargain for’ Zaha Hadid The Serpentine Galleries and Zaha Hadid Design are proud to bring their critically acclaimed exhibition of early paintings and drawings by the late Zaha Hadid to Hong Kong. First conceived with Hadid herself, this “revelation” (London Evening Standard) of a show has been newly expanded with additional archival material. The exhibition is the closing presentation for ArtisTree, the arts space in the heart of the city’s Taikoo Place by exhibition presenting partner Swire Properties, before it is relocated to a new address. While Zaha Hadid (1950-2016) is rightly regarded as an architectural pioneer and visionary, this unique Serpentine presentation also reveals her as an artist with drawing at the very heart of her work. The work includes paintings, calligraphic drawings and rarely seen private notebooks with sketches that show her complex thoughts about architecture’s forms and relationships. The exhibition, brought to Hong Kong in association with JP Morgan Private Bank, focuses on Hadid’s early works before her first building (Vitra Fire Station, Germany) was erected in 1993. Ranging from the 1970s to the early 1990s, the paintings and drawings on show include Hadid’s first internationally acclaimed project, The Peak (1982-3), awarded first prize in a design competition for a leisure club in the Hong Kong hills – marking a critical moment in Hadid’s career.
