Louis Vuitton假M+博物馆举行派对
庆祝推出Louis Vuitton x 草间弥生第二个联乘系列
Louis Vuitton假M+博物馆举行派对，庆祝在香港推出与日本著名艺术家草间弥生的联乘系列。当年首个Louis Vuitton x 草间弥生联乘系列在她的创作生涯中是其中一个重要里程碑，这系列的作品至今仍备受收藏家以及热爱Louis Vuitton和草间弥生的人士所追捧。
派对在M+博物馆的Lightwell Hall举行，以她著名的创作图案为这个原始、流动和多功能的空间加添缤纷色彩，令宾客沉浸于一趟充满想像力的感官之旅。草间弥生以令人目眩、色彩缤纷的整体艺术作品见称，而是次派对借着迷人的视觉灯光和彩色圆点填满场地的每个角落来向她致敬。会场的墙上也装饰著设计师的头像，她的太阳眼镜镜上则映照着享誉全球的香港迷人的天际线，这个独特的场景更成为宾客们拍照的热点。
当宾客再往内走，便置身于以大排档夜市为灵感的场景，品尝富香港特色的地道美食，而大排档式的圆桌、椅子和食品都采用各种不同颜色的圆点。美食地道有趣又精致，佐以复古玻璃瓶盛载的鸡尾酒，加上旁边的可爱扭蛋机，散发怀旧情怀，满载香港人的集体回忆。
为配合Louis Vuitton x草间弥生系列的主题，品牌特别策划多场精彩的表演，糅合不同音乐、视觉与行为艺术。艺术家彭靖 (Jing Pang) 透过名为「The Glamorous Turbulence」的行为表演艺术的创作实践来探索身体与灵性的连结，主观与客观、主动与被动、约束与自由、过去与未来、存在与虚无，试图把不可见的内在流动和气韵呈现眼前。这种深层次的演绎在由林丰(Fung Lam)呈献、名为「聆听草间弥生」(Listen to Kusama) 的另一表演环节更进一步呈现。作为最重要的亚洲作曲家之一，林丰从自己在舞蹈、戏剧、音乐会和多媒体方面的经验汲取灵感，为派对创作了多种乐曲，注入富戏剧性和出色的元素。由古典兼流行音乐家Jovin Lee与Atlas Lu组成的DJ组合JVSY以跨流派而闻名，他们采用来自house音乐、高科技舞曲(techno)、electronica电子乐曲、鼓和低音电结他、新爵士乐等多种不同类型的音乐，组成一种独特的电影音乐。Moon.noon则增加一种实时的视觉元素，作为一名视觉艺术家，他带来了一场现场视听实验，利用声音、视觉、时间和感官数据，糅合成抽象晕影影像与敍事方式。
一如Louis Vuitton昔日的艺术合作，品牌与草间弥生的创意交流也建基于真诚、突破规条的精神，以及最重要的，双方对工艺和卓越品质的欣赏。Louis Vuitton和草间弥生的最新创意对话，以双方在2012年创造的一份礼物为起点，可谓最适合不过。草间弥生当年以独特手法改造品牌的一款经典设计 – 以人手在一个Louis Vuitton行李箱上绘上她认为代表无限的圆点， 这份礼物全面糅合了双方的世界。
在第二次创造无限上，全新Louis Vuitton x 草间弥生系列将把这位艺术家的标志性图案带进品牌的各类产品之中，而是次为庆祝系列推出而举办的派对只是对这个超越时间与空间的系列的一个序幕。

Louis Vuitton x Yayoi Kusama Launches Second Collaboration at M+ Exhibition
Louis Vuitton celebrated the Hong Kong launch of their collaborative collection with prolific Japanese designer, Yayoi Kusama. a timeline of Kusama’s life and work for which one particular milestone was the first Louis Vuitton x Yayoi Kusama Collection – pieces of which are still very much sought-after by collectors and fans of both the Maison and the Artist.
The launch event took place in Lightwell Hall at M+ where Kusama’s famed motifs added a multi-coloured palate to accommodate the imaginative sensorial journey of the event filled with immersive performances. Kusama herself is a priestess of a total, hypnotic and colourful art, and the event paid tribute to her reputation with mesmerizing lighting visuals and colourful polka dots that entirely invaded the floorspace of Lightwell Hall. The designer’s visage also adorned the walls, with Hong Kong’s famous skyline reflected in her sunglasses, adding a fun playful photo-call throughout the venue.
Further into the venue, the Dai Pai Dong Night Market added a Hong Kong-centric culinary spin, with the Dai Pai Dong-style round tables, chairs and food outlets all wrapped in a host of different colours that were also sprinkled with the continuing motif of multi-coloured polka dots. Food was fun and casual with a sophisticated twist, while cocktails were served in retro glass bottles juxtaposed next to cute Gacha machines to add a touch of nostalgia triggering the collective memories of all Hongkongers.
Specially curated performances that fuse music with visual and performance arts created an aptly spectacular accompaniment to the Louis Vuitton x Yayoi Kusama theme of the evening. Jing Pang’s performance art entitled “The Glamorous Turbulence” was a look into the connections between the body and spirituality, subject and object, the active and passive, limitation and freedom, past and future, being and nothing. This deep interpretation was further bolstered by a section called “Listen to Kusama” that was helmed by composer Fung Lam’s dramatic and distinct input. As one of the foremost Asian composers of his generation, he drew from his experience in dance, theatre, concert and multi-media to create the sonic palette for the evening. Adding the beat in the engine room were classical and pop musicians Jovin Lee and Atlas Lu who have joined forces to create the DJ duo JVSY, known for their cross-genre explorations with elements from house, techno, electronica, drum and bass, nu-jazz and more in a signature cinematic sound. moon.noon added a real-time visual element as an artist who creates audio-visual experiments live, using sound, sight, time and sensory data to weave into abstract vignettes and storytelling experiences.
In line with Louis Vuitton’s past artistic collaborations, the encounter between the Maison and Yayoi Kusama is grounded in sincerity, in iconoclasm, and above all, in a mutual appreciation of craft and excellence over the commonplace. Perhaps it is most fitting that this incarnation of the Louis Vuitton and Kusama creative exchange starts where the 2012 conversation left off, with a gift. A gift that encompasses their two worlds most completely, Yayoi Kusama took one of the most timeless and magical of the Maison’s emblematic objects and made it her own – she hand-painted a Louis Vuitton trunk with her characteristic polka dots, dots that, for Kusama, represent infinity.
In creating infinity for the second time, the new Louis Vuitton x Yayoi Kusama Collection will bring the artist’s emblematic motifs to the Maison’s creations, and this dynamic event to launch the collection is but a brief introduction to the magical objects that transcend time and space.
