The second line of products were launched for the exhibition m-Health, at Cell Project Space, 25.07.15-02.08.15. For the product launch I presented the brand and our new line of products. Early visitors received a goodie bag with samples of each of the new products.

The exhibition m-Health, "explores notions of social health and well-being and how these relate to our immediate environment, be it built or natural. m-Health is a site for rejuvenation and spa rituals and a place for leisure and contemplation."

SANKE was shown at Palais de Beaux Arts, from 12.11.15-15.12.15. Here is an excerpt from the show's description:

"While artists have a long history of investigating the imagery of commerce, and corporations commission artists to upvalue their products, never before has the company itself been granted individual artistic agency. As a former high-end fashion publishing house turned proto-institutional construction, the Palais des Beaux Arts is the perfect location to consider the emergence of a deeper relation between luxury, fashion and artistic production."

As part of the exhibition at Palais de Beaux Arts, the third line of SANKE products were launched, featuring SANKE NEKTAR, SANKE TROYE and SANKE GULL. Events were held in Vienna, featuring free goodie bags of product samples and servings of new and previous products, as well as product displays and talks. The pictures below are taken by Siv Dolmen, except the first one which is by Palais de Beaux Arts.
