Curated around the theme “Please Share,” the exhibition takes visitors on an immersive journey that features multidisciplinary works from artists around the world. 

The art display includes the “Team McNuggets” series by Korean-American designer VandyThePink who reimagines the brand’s iconic characters from the 1980s. Her merchandise is available for purchase, and the proceeds will be donated to the Ronald McDonald House charities in Hong Kong.

New York-based artist Jon Burgerman incorporates McNuggets into his signature whimsical creations, presenting new pieces inspired by every child’s first bite of the iconic treat, and Seoul-based artist Gyuhan Lee repurposes paper bags from McDonald’s into innovative light sculptures, using the brand’s logo as inspiration for patterns in his works.
