Since its transformation into a shared space in 2025, CoBrA Gallery has continuously carried out experimental practices across different cities and contexts. From designer spaces to commercial real estate, it has been constantly adjusting its working methods and modes of intervention. In this process, exhibitions have gradually broken away from fixed temporal and spatial structures, allowing them to unfold simultaneously across multiple locations. The scale of practice has been continuously expanded, and its boundaries have been correspondingly redefined.
Against this accumulated backdrop, returning to the Samei Building is no longer a simple revisit, but a re-entry shaped by renewed experience. With the new group exhibition Miss Holly in Travel, we mark this meaningful return. The exhibition title is inspired by the character Holly Golightly from Breakfast at Tiffany’s—a figure who is perpetually in motion, unconstrained by labels, and never bound to a final destination. Her way of inhabiting the world transforms movement and wandering into a continuous state of being, resonating closely with the exhibition’s core spirit of freedom and fluidity.
This exhibition brings together thirteen artists and designers—Dylan Doe, Feng Yan, Marcin Rusak, Martha Sturdy, Jeremie Thircuir, Venchi, Yang Di, Yao Bangliang, Yuan Huinan, Zhang Ning, Zhang Yixiong, Comité de Proyectos, and Raka Studio—alongside multiple groups of vintage and collectible design furniture introduced into the space, collectively forming the overall landscape of the exhibition.
Through the convergence of diverse media and creative approaches, the exhibition no longer unfolds along a singular narrative thread, but instead evolves into a composite field of experience.
