홍콩의 거리예술이 프렌치 요리와 만나면 어떤 재미있는 일들이 일어 날까? 그런 의문점에서 출발한 홍콩, 비보 레스토랑은 다양한 거리 예술가들의 작업들을 내부 공간 속에 콜라보 한다. 기본 빈티지, 레트로 이미지를 바탕으로 다양한 예술작업들이 벽면과 천장 그리고 오브제로 적용, 다채로운 공간을 생성한다. 특히 내부에 투영된 도시풍경은 홍콩이 갖고 있는 응축된 밀도를 이야기 하는 동시에 이곳만의 독특한 캐릭터를 생성하는 인자로 작용한다. 생동감 넘치는 도시의 또다른 모습을 만나게 된다.

French fine dining is brought to street level in Hong Kong at Bibo. Serving up a modern take on classic French cuisine, wines of merit and back-to-the-roots cocktails, Bibo is a passion project that gives a nod to bohemian lifestyle.
It is a concept that redefines understated luxury. The ongoing and ever changing project is an international first that sees a collaboration of the world’s most renowned contemporary and street artists together in one space.
From installations by Vhils, Invader, JonOne, Stohead, Kaws, JR, Mr Brainwash, Ella & Pitr, Mist, MadC to hangings and works by Banksy, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Damien Hirst, Daniel Arsham, Jeff Koons, King of Kowloon, Shepard Fairey, Takashi Murakami, Yayoi Kusama to name a few, this pioneering project is set to open minds to a new way of eating and of seeing art.
“Bibo is a space that I had never seen before; I wanted to see it but couldn’t find it anywhere. It’s a vision that passion has brought to reality,” says Bibo, a discrete person behind the project.
