“It’s truly a dream come true to curate a show for McDonald’s Hong Kong, something that I’ve been curious about doing since I was in elementary school. Having the artistic freedom to curate a special exhibition celebrating the 40th anniversary of Chicken McNuggets and spanning fine art, music, augmented reality and virtual reality, is an incredible opportunity. I can’t wait to see everyone’s reaction to the show,” said Poon in a statement to the press.

Visitors will embark on an immersive journey curated by Poon, featuring mixed media and technology. The exhibition will go beyond a traditional art display, incorporating a time tunnel that highlights McDonald’s rich history and cultural influence over the decades. Interactive elements further enhance the experience, allowing visitors to design their own laser tattoos and create their own McNugget shapes that will be featured in the metaverse.

All sales proceeds from the exhibition will go towards the Ronald McDonald House Charities Hong Kong, an NGO providing housing for terminally and chronically ill children who are undergoing treatment at the hospital. 

The exhibition aims to showcase the cultural significance the fast-food chain has had in the city, offering a unique and thought-provoking reflection on the intersection between art and pop culture.
