"Love Art at The Peninsula 2016" Presents Conrad Shawcross in conversation with the Royal Academy of Arts
A thought-provoking installation by pioneering British artist Conrad Shawcross RA will be presented by The Peninsula Hong Kong.

Timed to coincide with the fourth edition of Art Basel Hong Kong, the installation marks the latest chapter in the “Love Art at The Peninsula ” initiative, the hotel’s groundbreaking programme of exhibitions and events that celebrate creativity in all its forms, most notably with the commitment to public art.
