Toy Stop
K11 Chi Art Space, 2016, Hong Kong
Toys Stop is a concept inspired by art x toy shop, a collaborative project by K11 and Lam Tung Pang and artists invited by Lam, to create a space for the public to play and relax by transforming chi K11 art space back to its original state as a shop.
In Toys Stop, the 4 zones (Toys and Theatre, Construction as Play, Soft Sculpture Park and Reading Area) serve as different functions aiming to stimulate children's creative thinking and to encourage family education and communication. Children are encouraged to explore, question and interact instead of shopping in the space. It acts as a 'Stop' for families to spend time together, express their creative thinking and play with other visitors through various commission materials placed at the venue.
Zone A
Toys and TheatreInspired by local museum collections and the playfulness and joy from art, this zone shows the observation and experience of the world during the creative process of toys, thereby constructing the animal scenes, Kid-Chen Theatre, World of Puzzle and the Candy Robot that can be created collectively by the audience.
從本地博物館藏品，藝術當中的玩與樂得到的靈感出發，此區展示由玩具到創作當中對世界的觀察及感受，發展出動物場境，奇廚劇院，拼想世界以及參觀者可集體創作的糖果機械人。
Zone B
Construction as PlayThis zone is the imagination construction area, eight metres long mural juxtaposes ancient and modern images, integrated with toy building blocks to increase the fun. Children can create difference images in the space collectively with the blocks.
此為建構想像區，八米長的壁畫以古今圖像並置，並將積木玩樂融入當中。此區讓公眾在參與玩樂的過程，同時一起創作出不斷變化的畫面空間。
Zone C
