Taiwan’s Sticky Monster Lab show a roaring success

台灣黏黏怪物研究所展覽取得巨大成果

South Korean creative studio, founded in 2007, presents eight installations


TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — South Korea's famed Sticky Monster Lab (SML) exhibition has finally launched at Songshan Creative and Cultural Park in Taipei, with eight outstanding installations in Warehouse No. 1 from Jan. 8 to April 4.

Sticky Monster Lab was founded in 2007 by designers Boo and Fla, who produce short and unique animations. By putting these simple characters together with strong messages about the darker sides of society, they have attracted international attention.

The SML exhibition features eight distinct installations that invite visitors to interact with the world of monsters. One of the first parts of the exhibition features a 3.5-meter foot that protrudes from the ceiling, and visitors can take off their shoes and lie under the monster's foot.

Another installation is called "House in a House" and features colorful glass houses that contain little monsters. Visitors can pose for pictures in the houses.

They can also lose their head in the clouds in a radiant pink area called "Empty Chill Sunset," which symbolizes a sunset with a yellow sun-like monster in the center. SML takes visitors on a stress-relieving journey with each installation conveying a different message.

A pop-up store selling exclusive, exhibition-limited SML Wonder merchandise and more than 100 kinds of products is free and open to the public. The uniquely designed products are bound to attract a lot of eager customers who want to take home a memento of their Sticky Monster Lab visit.
