Throwing their hat into the ring for arts month, Perrier Jouët’s Garden of Wonder is a lovely retreat away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Celebrating its deep-seated passion for nature and art, the premier champagne house is inviting wine and art aficionados to get lost in a beautiful oasis and enjoy the new permanent Cuvée, Perrier-Jouët Blanc de Blancs, while experiencing French digital artist Miguel Chevalier’s mesmerising video installation, 'Extra Natural'. Guests can register for private tasting sessions or join one of the Flower Pressing Workshops. There's also a 'Surprise Champagne Happy Hour' hosted during the week (announced on
) where the first fifty guests will enjoy a complimentary glass of Blanc de Blancs. Lovely.
Fish 'n' Chips
A solo exhibition of selected works from British graffiti pop-artist Szabotage. The Fish 'n' Chips collection is inspired by the artist's signature Koi fish character and casino chips, both of which are symbols of good fortune and wealth in Eastern and Western cultures. Fish 'n' also expresses hyper-British visual themes and features pieces from his other collection, I can, which has imagery painted on to deconstructed metal cans as a means of portraying the intrusion of metal cans in everyday life.

Bit.Fall by Julius Popp
A pioneering multimedia work that combines technology and engineering, BIT.FALL uses a unique algorithm connected to the Internet in real time to look for popular buzzwords through different newsfeed channels, which are then displayed as words through hundreds of water droplets in a curtain of water. If that sounds like some next level, bonkers science fiction s***, then you're right, it absolutely is. It's pure sorcery. You should check it out.

Twenty-Five Minutes Older
This one's neat. Hong Kong artist Kingsley Ng’s 'Twenty-Five Minutes Older' will create an 'altered reality' and allow tram passengers to experience Hong Kong in a new way – in reverse. Capturing images of passing street life, the scenes displayed inside the tram will be accompanied by spoken extracts from Liu Yichang’s popular stream-of-consciousness novella
Tête-bêche. If that sounds a little
vague, I think that's what they're going for. As far as we can tell, it's a tram-ride-cum-multi-sensory-experience. The name just being a friendly reminder that you're going to die. Great.
When: March 20 - 25 (tram rides will be happening constantly throughout the day)
Where: The Pawn/Western Market
How much: Free (you have to book your spot though!)
