The Artling has teamed up with Virtual Design Festival to host a panel discussion about integrating art into architectural projects, featuring OMA architect David Gianotten, artist Liina Klauss and Potato Head creative director Daniel Mitchell. Tune in at 12:30pm UK time.
Talenia Phua Gajardo, founder of Singapore-based art consultancy and online gallery The Artling and one of this year's Dezeen Award judges, will chair the discussion together with Dezeen founder and editor-in-chief Marcus Fairs.
Phua Gajardo will also take part as a panellist to discuss the role that art and design can play within the hospitality context, using examples from past The Artling projects, and talk about the art scene in Southeast Asia.
Among the projects that will be discussed is the Potato Head Studios resort in Bali, which was recently completed by Dutch architecture studio OMA.
OMA managing partner David Gianotten, who led the design and realisation of the project, will join in the conversation. Potato Head Studios is OMA's first hotel on the Indonesian island.
Gianotten previously spoke to Dezeen about how the building functions as a space for the community, where both hotel guests and the general public can experience contemporary Balinese culture.
"We worked with a large number of local people to handcraft the textures of some concrete walls and also create the woven recycled plastic ceiling panels," Gianotten told Dezeen.
Also taking part in today's discussion is Daniel Mitchell, Potato Head's creative director. After co-founding and artistically directing London's LN-CC store in 2010, Mitchell relocated to Bali in 2014.
As creative director of Potato Head, Mitchell uses a blend of art forms and design to shape the brand, with previous projects including the launch of Katamama Hotel in 2016 and Desa Potato Head in 2020.
Award-winning artist Liina Klauss will join the conversation to speak about integrating art from the perceptive of the artist.
Klauss' work explores visual and conceptual perceptions of waste, and the German artist, who is based in Hong Kong and Bali, has previously collaborated with Potato Head.
The talk will be live streamed from 12:30pm UK time.
Phua Gajardo also recently spoke to Dezeen about how galleries are increasingly turning to virtual reality, as we looked at how the global coronavirus lockdowns have led to an uptick in VR events.
