Event date: 1 July 2017 
Decoding session: 6-7 pm
Wine-pairing feast of five senses & crafted DJ set by Mr. Ho: 8-11pm
Venue: 4/F, Kin Teck Industrial Bldg, 26 Wong Chuk Hang Rd, Aberdeen, Hong Kong

Lithuanian Artist, Gedvile Grace Bunikyte will host a Decoding Session on the logos, nature and existence behind her art to inaugurate her first solo exhibition "In ToTo" at Sin Sin Atelier on 1 July 2017, 6pm-7pm.

You are welcome to join us for a wine-pairing feast of five senses along with crafted DJ set by Mr.Ho from 8pm until 11pm.

Gedvile, also known by her artist name Grace B, is one of those thirsty for knowledge and cognition, who devoted her life to crack the code of logos, nature and being. The way she expresses her reasoning is wordless, symbolic and abstract, as she has created her own language in drawings. A language akin to that of Aristotle’s, presented on a piece of paper by using writing utensils.

A dragon-scaled bound book is still a scroll, but each 'page' was folded and pasted in by its edge to form a stunning textured surface resembling scales imbricating one another.

Zhang Xiaodong, book artist, and Founder and Director of Haitangji Book Art Workshop, will give a presentation on dragon-scaled bound books. Zhang’s dragon-scaled bound books have entered competitions and were exhibited worldwide to promote this art form.
