A project that took an entire year to materialise, Nokia Black Box is “An experiment. An Experience. An exhibition featuring works of the industry’s top talents.”, housed in an old building a short distance away from the Red Dot Museum. The entire building, interiors, right down to the door frames and window panes were coated in black to match the theme.
Pre-event. While some of them helped out extensively with the conceptualisation, promotional materials, overseeing of the ongoing construction works and an endless list to make this event possible, I got the opportunity to decorate the stairway together with Leng – we are all awed by her amazing and spontaneous flow of abstract shapes and forms to form a mural that spans for about 5m wide. Talking to her certainly inspires me :D

Took us the entire Wednesday (as a result having to sniff in huge amounts of chalk) to complete, but for a change I more than gladly welcomed, it’s blissful to be out of my office seat, my eyes off the computer screen doing some hands on work. We didn’t use as much chalk as they thought we would, though. Some rather random scribbles of mine here..

Everyone also contributed to filling in empty areas along this stairway meant as a space for visitors to doodle and scribble their thoughts, make their marks, etc.


Launch event was held on Thursday featuring DJ Ko-Flow to kick-start the evening.

An installation by illustrator Kuanth.

I got the group (except Charissa, awwww) to attend the event as well! :)
