The concept of the Mobile Tea Garden is to transform the viewers’ state of mind through the mys- terious power of tea in an artful setting. All participant artists share the same vision and generously contribute their talent and time to make an indoor tea garden, based on the principle of Wu-Xing (fire, wood, water, metal, earth). Our creative theme is “Being Wild Is Living A Natural State.” Enes has collaborated with seven artists to create an overgrown wild garden for you to experience the moment of tea. The installation includes: Large-scale naturally dyed silk textiles by Kyoto Textile Master Akihiko IzukuraAn 8 paneled-screen of contemporary Chinese brush painting by the Hong Kong based artist Simon YungVibrant 3D ceramic installations for the ground by Janine SoppA sound installation, “Aquatic Chandelier”, by Taunya van der Steen-MizelVideo Art by awarding-winning documentary director, Heather GreerA tidal movement piece with shakuhachi music, Listening To The Body Fluid, by Jayoung Yoon and Zachary Sinner. Lastly, our wonderful Tea Volunteer Team will harmonize the art and serve you a generous cup of tea.At the Mobile Tea Garden we engage all your five senses and together tell a story of “A Cup of tea; a cup of humanity” There will be a pop-up shop to feature 50 pieces of handmade silk wearable art from Kyoto, exquisite loose tea from China, Taiwan and Japan, paintings and ceramics from the participating artists. If you were the patrons of Wild Lily Tea Room in Chelsea, please come to visit and shop to support our vi- sion to serve free tea to all people alike.
