What kinds of possibilities will result from a crossover between ceramics and other media? Come and visit this exhibition to broaden your impression of ceramic art! Bringing ceramic artists and creative talent from other fields together, it will offer you a unique experience in art through their exchanges of innovative concepts and techniques.

By transferring photographic images to ceramic plates, Fiona Wong transforms a moment in time into eternity. Immerse yourself in the surreal atmosphere of Yokky Wong's black-and-white ceramic studio and peek into her intimate world of personal memories. Wy Lee and Ryan Hui will guide you into the world of Zen through hundreds of ceramic bowls. As you admire the elegant dancing ceramic figures by Nick Poon, just one second of evil thoughts will transfer you into Rosanna Li's purgatory to redeem your sins. Don't worry! Jakie Leung's delicate porcelain work will bring you back to the human world, where you can enjoy the artist's fine craftsmanship under shimmering lights. Annie Wan puts her ceramic books to the test of a searing blaze, and a rainbow rises from the ashes. And what do you find underneath Chan Kiu-hong's thousands of ceramic scales? Is it a sleeping monster? As you step into this exhibition, it will surely creep into your imagination, making you gasp for breath.

Get ready for this experimental journey into the imaginative world of ceramic art!

"Claylaboration" is in progress! Please follow us to stay tuned.

<再閱植物繪> 作品展 .jpg

展覽日期:2018年12月15日-2019年1月6日

展覽時間:星期一至五|1130 - 1900,星期六及日 | 1200 - 2030

開幕時間:2018年12月15日|1700 - 1900(*藝術家將親臨開幕酒會)

展覽地點: 荃灣南豐紗廠地下13室 - 茂一茂

「 再閲植物繪 」 - 郝立仁作品展

由藝術森林及茂一茂合辦的「再閲植物繪」作品展覽於2018年12月8日起至12月30日在荃灣南豐紗廠舉行。是次展示的本地藝術家郝立仁的草本植物繪圖作品,耳熟能詳的草本植物在藝術家筆下以另一種面向呈現眼前,彷彿是一些從未認知的東西。原來一顆植物的結構,延伸至它的生長過程,也許會是超越表象的理解。繪本中的植物有時也連繫著我們的日常飲食習慣,藝術家透過探討和繪畫表達對大自然生生不息的偉大以及感欣大地跟我們環環相扣的關係。

展示畫作之外,藝術家希望作品跟空間互相呼應,也嘗試從物質轉化的角度來思考用品和其與自然循環的關係,轉化在地茂館回收得來的宣紙,弄成紙漿並在過程中加入芝麻種子 (製作糖水的食材之一) 製作成有厚度及印有他創作的繪本圖案的再造紙。此再造紙作品不是消耗品而是可以放進泥土裡種植的一顆小植物,長大後便成為芝麻葉。它可回歸塵土養育生命和萌生新生命。限量20張再造紙作品可在店內購買。

關於茂一茂 by Tei Mou Koon

茂一茂 by Tei Mou Koon 秉承老字號地茂館甜品”原味手作”的理念,手調健康美味中式原材料榖物飲品。老店地茂館則開業於1990年,位於九龍城福佬村道的廣府甜品老字號,現由第二代傳人接手經營。年輕一代希望把真材實料的老店承傳下去,以手繪食材為題重新印製餐牌、新店裝潢清新卻堅持保留傳統特色,並在位於南豐紗廠的新店「茂一茂」 加入藝術元素,希望大家坐在店內一邊享受港式美食飲品,一邊觀賞本地藝術家創作的作品。

最 大展 'The' Survey Exhibition

最 大展 'The' Survey Exhibition

「最」大展》| 'THE' Survey Exhibition

Please roll down for English
近年最勁、最多元化、最多前線活躍藝術家參與、最不可控制的藝術展覽---《「最」大展》將於2018年12月1日(星期六)在牛棚藝術村舉行。

《「最」大展》由C & G藝術單位策劃,本計劃名義是慶祝C & G藝術單位成立十一週年之藝術大展,同時更關注藝術空間的生存與發展、角色與定位、使命與責任、承傳與培育新晉等等。藝術空間是具前瞻性及實驗性藝術創作、展現模式、論述方法的試點,是藝術昇華的重要階梯。C & G藝術單位在過去十一年都切實擔當這個角色。

《「最」大展》的初衷是:統計C & G藝術單位由開業至今,共策劃、主辦、主辦及策劃多少藝術活動,共邀請及與多少藝術家/藝術工作者合作過,有具體數據後,再於每項藝術活動中精選一位在該活動中創作了最「特別」的作品的藝術家參與是次計劃,共邀請約40位。

所謂「文無第一,武無第二」,我們相信藝術家是屬於文人,是謙虛的,要求他們認第一、認最乜最物,相信對藝術家而言也是一個挑戰。就以這大展機會了解藝術家可以有多大程度展示其最自以為是、最自圓其說、最自我自戀、最堅、最……的多元化面貌。是次藝術展覽計劃,集中走主觀路線,讓參與藝術家自我營造屬於他/她/們的「最」。參展藝術家以「最」為題,創作一件/一組其認為是平生「最???」的全新作品,配合可能性極高的主題,因此作品創作媒介不限。

《「最」大展》除展覽本身外,於開幕之後,會延伸一系列配套活動,包括研討會、導賞、拍賣、心水藝術家選舉等:

‘THE’ Survey Exhibition
‘THE’ survey exhibition, which is the most impressive, the most diverse, the most uncontrollable exhibition with the most active artists participating, will open on 1st December, 2018 (Sat) at Cattle Depot Artist Village.

Curated by C&G Artpartment, in the name of the celebration for its 11th anniversary, ‘THE’ survey exhibition is also drawing our attention to the development of local art spaces. Some of the questions include: What are the roles and responsibilities of an art space in society? How can it position itself? How can it help nurture the young practitioners? C&G believe that an art space must have its strong vision. It should be a spot for experimental art practices, different exhibition models and discourse development. It should be one of the important ladders to the sublime. C&G Artpartment has confidently practiced as such in the past 11 years.

The selection of artists is based on a serious revision over all the exhibitions curated or organized by C&G Artpartment since its establishment. C&G reviewed all their curatorial works and select the most ‘special’ artwork from each of the previous projects. Thereafter, they invite totally 40 artists who had been the most ‘special’ at one point.
According to a Chinese idiom, there is no championship in the arts, while there is no first-runner up in martial arts. We do believe that artists are always humble. It certainly is a challenge to ask them to name themselves the number one or the most of such and such. ‘THE’ survey exhibition will provide an opportunity for different artists to show different outlooks of the most self-centered, the most self-contained, the most narcissistic or the most …everything…
Besides ‘The’ exhibition, there will be a series of parallel programs during the show, including discussion forums, guided tours, auction and voting etc:

An on-going balance of insecurity

1 December – 22 December 2018
Opening: Saturday, 1 December 2018, 4-7 pm
EXIT, 3/F, 25 Hing Wo Street, Tin Wan, Aberdeen, Hong Kong
Hours: Tue - Sat, 11am - 6pm

Gallery EXIT is proud to present "An on-going balance of insecurity", an exhibition of three young local artists. The exhibition will open on 1 December 2018 and remain on view through 22 December 2018.

Cindy IEONG Wing Lam
Depicting objects with unusual scale and light sources, IEONG paints a dreamlike scene based on her own collection of images and fragments of life. The fluidity of picture is her main focus in painting. To present an "in progress" state, she builds a concealed directional relationship between objects through the misplacement and juxtaposition of indoor and outdoor space, void and solid, thereby creating a space for the viewers to imagine beyond the picture.

Tobe KAN Kiu Sin
KAN is obsessed with psychoanalysis, to study her own state, explore and retrospect to the causality. Her work explores autobiographical experience and mental states. The focus of her practice examines the human condition of insecurity in relation to disease, stereotyping, feelings of detachment, alienation or being forgotten. She experiments with painting, drawing and installation.

LAU Yin Yeung
LAU pursues a balanced self - he assimilates the concept of yin and yang into his painting, in “Tao Te Ching: all things submit to yin and embrace yang in order to soften their energy” is meant to achieve the state of harmony. He therefore mixes elements of the nature with a few man-built structures to create a sense of balance in his paintings.


《平衡不安進行中》

2018年12月1日至12月22日
開幕:12月1日(星期六)下午4時至7時
地點:安全口畫廊 香港 香港仔 田灣 興和街25號大生工業大廈 3樓
辦公時間:星期二至六 上午11時至下午6時

安全口畫廊最新聯展《平衡不安進行中》呈獻楊詠琳, 簡喬倩和劉彥揚三位本地年輕藝術家的作品。

楊詠琳
楊氏透過收集得來的影像和生活的碎片,描繪大小比例不一的物件及不尋常的光源,在畫布上營造其想像中虛幻的場景。她著重畫面的流動性,錯置室內外空間、並置虛實,在物件建立略帶隱晦的方向性關係,從而呈現一種「進行中」的狀態,引發觀眾更多在畫面以外的聯想。

簡喬倩
簡氏沉迷於精神分析的研究,以剖析自身的精神狀態,窺探與回溯各種因果關係。作品以自身經驗與人的精神狀態為主,關注和試圖呈現各種與疾病,異化或被遺忘有關的不安全狀況。創作包括繪畫、素描和裝置。

劉彥揚
劉氏以道德經中「萬物負陰而抱陽,沖氣以為和」為概念,借畫香港風景畫,在失衡的城市生活,追求平衡的自身狀態。因此劉氏的畫內包含了自然元素,同時亦有少量人為建築物在其中營造一個平衡的狀態。

《骨感》

姚俊樺個人展覽

骨感,是骨頭觸碰陶泥的瞬間,是陶泥化作骨頭的過程。骨頭與石頭的敲鑿、泥土的混和與結合、骨頭上的刻畫,都是藝術家姚俊樺在創作的每個動作。透過物材料的互動及重新定義,模糊物料的特性,從而探討自然的本質。是次展覽以骨頭及陶泥為材,展出一系列陶瓷作品,呈現各種骨感之餘,更是訴說著骨頭與泥土的關係。

藝術家簡介

姚俊樺畢業於澳洲皇家墨爾本理工大學與香港藝術學院合辦之藝術文學士學位課程,主修陶藝,曾獲香港藝術學院高級文憑畢業展最佳作品獎。於2016年舉辦首個個人陶藝展《少年與山》,並參與多個本地及國際聯展,如2013年香港當代陶藝協會二十周年展覽《1+1》、KOHLER Bold. Art 2017藝術巡迴展覽、典亞藝博2018等。作品呈現大自然的原素和特質,亦會使用被遺棄的陶泥,透過創作使其重獲新生。

Art in the contemporary world is no longer divided by geographical boundaries, yet, the significance of the ocean remains unaltered. More often, the ocean is not depicted as literal and specific but as an abstract symbol. The exhibition brought together the works of nineteen contemporary Asian artists including: Cai Dongdong, Cheung Szelit, Ding Beili, Ding Shiwei, Gregory Halili, Li Qing, Li Shun, Lin Qing, Liu Ren, Ma Lingli, Ni Youyu, Peng Jian, Shang Yixin, Shao Wenhuan, Shi Zhiying, Sugimoto Hiroshi, Yang Jinsong, Yang Xun and Yang Yongliang, each bringing forth a fragment of the ocean, in order to complete a unified 'horizon line' within the gallery space. The total area of the open sea from all exhibiting artwork was revealed on opening day to formulate the final exhibition name, 16.52 Sqm Open Sea.

Currency: What do you value?

to Feb 23

Currency: What do you value?

November 17, 2018 - February 23, 2019

Currency: What do you value? is a group exhibition that asks questions about the relationship between art and money, exploring the flaws of our current economic reality. The featured artists expose the complex relationships between currency and how society values or doesn’t value art, work and time. They employ wit and satire to reveal economic inequities and dysfunctions, and ask: how do materialism and corporate interests take precedence over human and environmental concerns? How do debt and money impact art and creativity?

Literary critic and philosopher Mikhail Bakhtin described the concept of the carnival as a subversive, disruptive, world-upside-down event in which the hypocrisy of everyday life was unmasked. During carnival, social structures including those that defined class and status were disrupted by common people. In Currency: What do you value?, artists turn assumptions upside down to re-examine our relationship to money and how we live our lives.

The exhibition brings together national, international and local artists who engage with these themes through a variety of media and artistic approaches. In Debtfair, Occupy Museums continues their ongoing intervention that began at Art League Houston and appeared at the Whitney Biennial in 2017. The collective asks New Mexico artists how debt affects them and their art and uses collected data to explore the real impacts of debt at a time when U.S. credit card debt alone is over one trillion dollars. Albuquerque artist Leonard Fresquez has organized The New Booleggers: Fabricating (Im)Propriety, an installation in which 20 artists explore how high-end commodities are valued and question the worth of such products by producing knock-off versions of popular items.

New York artist Evan Desmond Yee fossilizes outmoded technologies including specific Apple products. He demonstrates how these objects, that have such a hold on us, quickly lose their novelty as they become obsolete. By placing the objects in a geologic context, he also raises questions around corporate influence, environmental neglect and a future in which nature reclaims its place over technology. Mel Chin’s Fundred project is continued as an outreach program with local schools involving hand-made currency used to raise awareness about lead poisoning.

ARTISTS:
Mel Chin, Christy Chow, Jennifer Dalton, Nina Elder, Ramiro Gomez & David Feldman, Hernan Gomez Chavez, Scott Greene, Keith Hale, Erika Harrsch, Steve Lambert, Lance Ryan McGoldrick, Occupy Museums, Yoshiko Shimano and Evan Desmond Yee.

The New Bootleggers Installation:
Sven Barth, Raven Chacon, Marissa Chavez, Brendan Donnelly, Max Farber, Stefan Fitzgerald, Leonard Fresquez, Ry Fyan, Thomas Christopher Haag, Internet Discount Mall, Ken Kagami, Malcolm Kenter, Rye Purvis, Gregory Shimada, Jillian Stein, Jaime Tillotson & Scott Daniel Williams and Chase Witter.

桌上日常 Everyday Tablescape

桌上日常 - 張麗珍陶瓷作品展
Everyday Tablescape – Ceramic Works by Karen Cheung

開幕: 2018年11月18日(星期日)3-5 pm
展期: 2018年11月 17日至12月2日(逢六及日), 1:30 – 6 pm

Karen喜歡四處看周圍的事物,生活社區裡的舊鐵閘、窗花、舊地磚等皆引起她的興趣。這些東西默默地陪住她成長,然而隨着市區的發展,這些事物漸漸消失。Karen希望藉住這次展覽,把這些圖像注入於生活用具裏面,嘗試如古人般將四處的環境繪畫在器物上,像牡丹花、牽牛花圖案也常出現在以前的食具上,重新把這種雅興顯現出來。是次展覽中的作品為餐桌上的餐具,它們的外型簡樸,實用且帶民藝色彩。

Social Transformations – An Exhibition Celebrating 20 Years of Partnership between RMIT University and Hong Kong Art School

The exhibition proudly celebrates the 20 years of partnership between RMIT University and the Hong Kong Art School (HKAS), with a focus on the social transformations it brings.

The collaboration between RMIT University and HKAS on the offering of quality tertiary education programmes in fine art has started since 1998.   All along, this treasurable partnership and the artistic accomplishments springing from it have been shaping the art ecology in Hong Kong and imposing intriguing impacts onto the art educational landscape in Hong Kong and beyond.   They have also been breathing new life into the local and the transnational art scenes.  

The participating alumni-artists in this exhibition are all graduates from the Bachelor of Arts (BAFA) and/or Master of Fine Art (MFA) programmes which have been nurtured from this long-term partnership over the years.   Their works always respond or contribute to the idea of social transformations in unique ways.

We look forward to seeing you in this commemorative exhibition, and you are also cordially invited to join us in the Forum Activities, the two specially conducted Forums, alongside the exhibition.  They will certainly bring in new insights and open up new perspectives for us all.

We have published an e-catalogue in conjunction with this exhibition, it is also a salute to our alumni, our lecturers who have taught in the programmes, members of the governance bodies and staff members from both institutions who have contributed to this partnership.  Please view it and share in our joy.

我正常嗎?還是異於常人?
想要出眾?不想離群?
誰戴上有色眼鏡?誰看見國王新衣?
看與被看或視若無睹,你會點睇?

AM I NORMAL?
Do I want to stand out from the mass or blend in with others?
Who has a blinkered view and who sees the emperor’s new clothes?
In between gazes, what do you actually perceive?


///\\\///\\\///\\\

新一輯「像是動物園」-2014年於「油街實現」開始的既展且演共同創作-今年來到香港醫學博物館,將重新打開「珍奇屋」奇觀之旅。原有跨界創作班底這次為觀眾帶來與環境空間扣連更緊密的展演歷程,從上回的藏品展示,今回把焦點放在「人」的展示上,帶大家尋找現代處境底下的「奇人」。

在前身為細菌學檢驗所的博物館內,展示空間與生活場景虛實交錯,時空縱橫穿梭。創作團隊製造了不同處境,為觀眾帶來多感官的遊歷體驗,在「獨」與「眾」,「自身」與「他者」之間遊走。想特立獨行還是平平凡凡?歷程將會讓觀眾反思:我們如何從他人的目光中建立本體,又如何根據植根腦海的一堆價值來衡量別人。

A new edition of Zoo as Metaphor (2014), a performative exhibition previously set at Oi! (Oil Street Art Space), takes the "cabinet of curiosities" as its point of departure once again.

This time, the artists undertake another expedition in the more site-responsive environment of Hong Kong Museum of Medical Sciences, delivering another engaging and experiential journey for visitors. Moving on from the objects and collectables on display in the first edition, the new expedition focuses on PEOPLE, embarking on the "bizzare” in contemporary situations...

Travelling through rooms where different scenarios unfold, visitors will be encouraged to reflect on interactions between individuals and collectives, self and others. For sceptics and adherers to convention alike, the experential journey will lead to contemplation of how we can construct identity through the eyes of others, or how we perceive people through pre-set ideas and values.


介乎展覧與表演之間
衍生出一場社會潛規則實驗歷程
A crossed form of exhibition and performance
evolves into an experiential journey of social experiment

【我要讀書 I Wanna Read】邀請不同媒體的創作人化作書本的代言人,闡述書本如何影響其創作時的思考和作品展現的價值觀,刺激讀者與書本締造新的關係,重拾閱讀。

這次邀得畫畫人倪鷺露分享影響她的三本選書,由外到內再向外反思自己及身處的世界,發現當中的美。


|| 推薦書目 ||
《我們為什麼不說話》 —天寶.葛蘭汀 / 凱瑟琳.約翰遜
《愛與微細身》 —措尼仁波切
《一根稻草的革命》 —福岡正信


|| 書介 ||
《我們為什麼不說話》 —天寶.葛蘭汀 / 凱瑟琳.約翰遜
天寶.葛蘭汀博士以自閉者的特質找到與動物連繫的方法,並以四十年和動物朝夕相處的經驗告訴我們,動物是如何觀察世界,牠們的好奇、恐懼、痛苦,牠們的智慧及天才,牠們是如何思考等等……她提出理解動物觀察世界的方式最重要的一點,剛好和自閉相同的是,兩者觀察到的都是實際的世界,而不是觀念中的世界,特別的是他們看到的是人們看不到的細節,而在他們眼中亦只有細節,相反常人卻把這些細節模糊化,腦海中就只有關於世界總體的概念。
一般人常說自閉的兒童“生活在他們自己的小天地裏”,天寶.葛蘭汀就說如果你和動物共處一段時間,你就會意識到這句話用到所謂正常人身上更為合適。因為其實在常人看到的這個世界以外還有另外一個美麗壯觀的世界,而人們對此往往視而不見!

《愛與微細身》 —措尼仁波切
情緒的習性主宰我們內在平衡和失衡的感覺,以身體與情緒長久失衡的表現,這些都是微細身的功能,它亦可以說是外在現象與內在感知的詮釋者。措尼仁波切帶領我們試着去感覺、去覺知身體的各種狀態,可能喚起一些記憶、創傷或疼痛,甚至是感受無聊,在二十一世紀有一個現象,就是我們一直要讓自己處在一種很亢奮的狀態,為什麼?因為我們都很畏懼無聊。仁波切引導我們如何跟身體共處,學會如何去面對自己的這個無聊以及長久以來停留在我們微細身當中的印記,了解影響着我們的念頭、行為,尤其是情緒如何阻礙我們無法以温暖與開放,連結我們自己、他人與及生活周遭的狀況。

《一根稻草的革命》 —福岡正信
福岡正信先生潛心鑽研回歸自然的農法,一種徹㡳否定所謂人智和人為的農法、一種曾被人視為無法理解的農法:不墾地、不施肥、無農藥、不除草的一種順應自然的農法。他透過自身的實踐,花上三、四十年,將其轉變為眼見為憑的事實,以此來斷定自己理念的正確。他提出人類追求真正幸福與未來希望的「減法研究」,就是要得出「不這樣也行,不那樣也可以」的結論。
福岡正信先生從反思自然,回歸農田去順應自然,從中洞見出其一套對生命的態度與人生哲學並將其實踐出來。


|| 倪鷺露 Lulu Ngie 簡介 ||
倪鷺露,畫畫人,喜以簡單線條描繪人物的姿態動作來反映心理和精神層面。在繪畫過程中探索那個程度的簡單,可以恰到好處地呈現一個人或物的各種狀態,也在追求一種粗糙及率性的美,並思考在構圖上多畫一條線或一塊面的必要性,試圖讓畫面不用存在多餘的言語。

“Memories are always beautiful . Memories are always for the future”  Benjamin Hao solo exhibition

“Memories are always beautiful . Memories are always for the future” Benjamin Hao solo exhibition

記憶是種莫名的美好 為未來而生.jpg

展覽日期:2018年10月20日-11月10日

展覽時間:星期一至日|上午12時半-下午7時

開幕時間:2018年10月20日|下午3-6時 (*藝術家將親臨開幕酒會)

展覽地點:中環元創方S510

「記憶是種莫名的美好 為未來而生」 - 郝立仁藝術個展

由藝術森林及土壤文創合辦的「記憶是種莫名的美好 為未來而生」作品展覽於2018年10月20日起至11月10日在中環元創方舉行,本地藝術家(郝立仁)以泥土作為創作媒介並透過繪畫及裝置藝術,呈現人類與自然及環境的關係。

對一些習以為常的事情作出介入與干涉是郝氏藝術實踐中的一個重要元素。郝氏透過他的作品揭示主流文化、意識形態、制度以及教育如何構建我們對自然、環境和社會的理解和認知。創作牽涉的範疇包括地圖學、地方史、植物繪圖學和手工藝等。 郝氏亦以他的藝術實踐作為催化劑與途徑來重新認識和深入探究我們的日常生活、身處環境、地方、自然的既定認知,以求移去對事物的偏見和一知半解。並且藉此重建個人與環境和社群的親密關係。

是次展覽的主題由我們自身出發,從個人情感把記憶、時序和地點交織成莫名的美好,帶領觀者以新的角度去認識當下的環境。 每一個過去的時刻都會成為曾經,但不是每一個過去的時刻都會變成記憶。它與地方、圖像和感覺緊密相連。我們傾向於記著美好的舊時光,並試圖抵制褪色。我們擁有儲存和代表過去的技術,但它與 「真實」永遠不再相同,它是對過去的解釋、後記憶。回憶是為了未來,讓我們在未來反思和冥想。當我們重新審視地點、物體、圖像和記憶時,他們成為一種新的理解,並發展為知識和想像力,讓我們繼續前進。

關於藝術森林

成立於2017年,是一個致力推廣當代藝術的創意單位。我們相信藝術可以滲透在日常生活當中,帶給我們新的視點和多角度觀察事物,增添生活樂趣。跟不同藝術創作團隊合作是我們的目標之一,以使事件變得不同,並為觀眾和藝術家帶來新鮮的想法。

關於土壤文創 於2012年成立,與不同地域的創作人合作,嘗試從歷史、人文和文化的角度,研究及推廣傳統手作設計,讓手工藝重回現代人的生活中。 我們連結不同領域、喜愛及深懂工藝的創作人和傳統匠人,一同發想、一同設計,讓傳統工藝與現代設計互相對話和影響。

Exhibition Duration: 20 October – 10 November 2018

Opening Reception: 20 October 2018 I 3:00 – 6:00pm (*Artist Presents)

“Memories are always beautiful . Memories are always for the future”

Benjamin Hao solo exhibition

An exhibition entitled “Memories are always beautiful . Memories are always for the future”, jointly presented by Art Forest and SOIL, will be held at PMQ from 20 October until 10 November 2018. Local artist – Benjamin Hao uses soil as his creation medium, through presenting his soil painting and installation to investigate the relationship between human, nature and our surroundings.

He believes art as a form of intervention to pre-existing system. Through his artwork, it reveals how dominant culture shapes our understanding of nature and society. Hao's works often reference to the methodology and image from different major disciplines and fields, for instance, cartography, botanical illustration, and city infrastructure etc. In his practice, he takes art as a catalyst and uses it as a way to remove our presumption. Rebuilding our personal intimacy relationship from our society or surroundings.

The idea of this exhibition comes from our personal emotions, an inexplicable beauty is perhaps intertwined by memories, times and places. We hope to bring audience a new perspective to review our current surroundings. Every elapsed moment becomes the past, but not every passed moment can transform into memories. It ties strongly with places, images and sensations. We tend to remember the good old days and try to resist fading. We have technologies to store and represent the past, but it is never the same as the ‘real’ subject, it is the interpretation, post-memories of the past. Memories are for the future, for us to reflect and meditate in the future. They grow into a new understanding of the past when we revisit the places, objects, images and memories. They become knowledge and imagination for us to carry on to the future.

The Weather Forecast II

The Weather Forecast II.jpg

《天氣預報》

來自香港的五位藝術家陳令芯、 葉曉燕、 冼朗兒、唐偉傑、鄒昊宏於2016年首次在倫敦Iklectik Art Lab籌畫了一個名為《天氣預報》的展覽。兩年間,該展覽作為一個具延續性的活動,記錄五位藝術家的創作日誌,籍此展開對話的機會, 從而產生更多可能性。

藝術家從各種不同的觀點出發,對其所關注的主題作出不斷的題問、分析而進行思考及創作,成一環形循環狀態。這種循環的創作狀態,沒有起點也沒有終點,其過程就如不斷變化的天氣一樣難以預測 –《天氣預報》試圖反映出當代社會中所發生的,永恆的變化中所縕含的不確定性。


The Weather Forecast

Weather Forecast Weather Forecast is an on-going project first presented by five artists from Hong Kong at Iklectik Art Lab in London in 2016. The exhibition acts as a logbook of artists’ development and progress, aims to create a community which encourages constant dialogue between artists and generate further possibilities.

Like the constantly evolving weather, the themes explored by each artist – and the diverse ways that each presents their ideas – also reflect the changes that are occurring in the current unpredictable climate of the contemporary world.

‘How beautifully blue the sky
The glass is rising very high
Continue fine I hope it may
And yet it rained but yesterday.
Tomorrow it may pour again…’

(From The Pirates of Penzance, Gilbert & Sullivan, 1879)

If tomorrow can be forecasted, what does tomorrow mean to you?

時間:1-7pm
聚會:13/10 星期六 (6:30-8:30 pm)

眼睛,被稱為「靈魂之窗」,可知除了觀察事物,眼睛更是開啟我們靈魂與外界接觸的器官;透過眼睛,我們由看見、到注視,然後發現,繼而引起思考、想像,開創...因此眼睛不僅是整套視覺系統中最重要的部份,也是藝術創作的起點之一,而眼睛和視覺在乎的,又豈只表像?

畫家黃進曦和李香蘭,前者在傳統寫生基礎上、眈天望地之間,不單描畫出一種帶著時間差距的遊歷過程,同時滲入主觀想像,讓觀眾在其畫面鋪陳的景致中蹓躂;後者畫風輕鬆靈動、用色淡雅,無論描繪或人或物甚至地方,重點往往在於寄情抒懷、連繫情感和分享故事。平面設計師區德誠,將生活中觀察到的畫面攝下,揉合漢字在現今生活中的意義,創出「看字」系列,表現出漢字蘊含的浪漫情懷。

至於藝術家劉學成,擅長雕塑及運用日常現成物創作,同時好歷史及古雅事物,其作品處處流露出當代藝術中的詩意;惜早前雙眼無故突生劇變,視力出現嚴重問題,唯以新作展現自己當前的視覺狀態,與個人心理變化。

The HKAC 40th Anniversary flagship exhibition Wan Chai Grammatica: Past, Present, Future Tense

Venue: Pao Galleries, Hong Kong Arts Centre (4/F and 5/F) 

Date: 2018.09.30 - 2018.11.04

Time: 10am – 8pm 

Price: Free Admission 

Culminating in its 40th year celebrations,The Hong Kong Arts Centre(HKAC) is delighted to present Wan Chai Grammatica: Past, Present, Future Tense, an exhibition that explores and celebrates Hong Kong’s cultural and artistic identity as seen through the lens of one of Hong Kong’s most iconic city districts, Wan Chai. Curated by guest curator Valerie C. Doran and the HKAC curatorial team, the exhibition will be held at Pao Galleries, HKAC from Sunday 30 September to Sunday 4 November 2018.
 
 “Since its foundation 40 years ago, the Hong Kong Arts Centre has fostered artistic exchange, forging connections between the arts of Hong Kong and the rest of the world through a wide range of programmes and collaborations. Wan Chai Grammatica: Past, Present, Future Tense is both a continuation and celebration of that heritage, and presents a new perspective that forms urban cultural identities,” says Connie Lam, Executive Director of the HKAC. 
 
Hong Kong has been uniquely shaped by a crucible of economic, political, ethnic and cultural influences, resulting in a vastly diverse heritage and identity, which is in turn made up of and influenced by the localised personalities of distinct districts within the city. The exhibiting works in Wan Chai Grammatica: Past, Present, Future Tense look at the bonds formed across generations, multiple languages and artistic genres that establish community and a love of place. The exhibition has been curated to examine personal, historical, and experiential responses to Wan Chai and features works by 18 artists local to Hong Kong, or intricately connected through international ties to the city. The exhibited works also explore the role Wan Chai plays in forming Hong Kong’s artistic identity, and its image in the eyes of both local and international audiences.
 
“Though varied in their responses, each of the artists presented in Wan Chai Grammatica: Past, Present, Future Tense shares an interest in the idea of place and how this is formed by individual interactions, past, present and future. The dialogue generated between the works opens doors to a new, more layered understanding of Wan Chai as a historical space, a cultural hub and a centre for community engagement,” Says Valerie C. Doran, exhibition guest curator.
 
During the exhibition period, Thematic tours around Wan Chai will be arranged and will narrate the history of the area, illustrating connections between the district and the artworks presented in Wan Chai Grammatica: Past, Present, Future TenseArt Experience Workshops will shed new light on the district’s past, present and future, as well as the history of the HKAC as a cultural hub that has consistently over 40 years generated artistic dialogue. Programming will also include a Film Showcase on Wan Chai for audiences to experience the district's charm in a cinematic dimension. Creators and artists who are fans of these films will also talk about how their works have been influenced by Wan Chai.

Guest Curator: Valerie C. Doran (Hong Kong; b. USA)
Featured Artists:  Gaylord Chan (Hong Kong), Luis Chan (Hong Kong; b. Panama), Choi Yan Chi (Hong Kong), Chu Hing Wah (Hong Kong; b. Guangdong), Mark Chung (Hong Kong; b.

在目前香港環境的諸多亂像中,樓價高企,低下階層住屋困難。“納米樓”“豪華劏房”被政商推崇為“香港未來的風景”,新界東北如菜園村,横洲的居民已失去或將失去他們的農耕自足的生活。習慣,文化,傳統,安居樂業⋯⋯也將因為土地被重新定義而改變⋯⋯究竟這些轉變會為香港人帶來怎樣的生活方式和價值觀呢?在不同國家、文化的語境下,土地性質的轉變,是否只能成為商品呢?土地只能任由各個政府支配?任由改變及污染土壤呢?我們這一代將留給甚麼予下一代呢?

透過是次行為藝術的活動,我們希望令大眾關注迫在眉睫的土地問題,我們並非單純地用觀念的方法去觀察及呈現這些問題,而是用生命本來的樣子來呈現世界。這不僅僅是描述生命,更加渴望通過創作成就生命本身。我們用最直接的手段,近距離地,有如一種見證災難的藝術呈現, 希望令社會的創傷得以修復、檢視、重整,以及當代城市人思考土地與人的意義和啟發對土地運用的新傳譯,擴闊城市人對土地的狹窄䆁義。活動將直接到横洲做現場創作,通過貼身的感受和了解。我們將以身體作為媒介呈現香港現時的土地問題,重構文化倫理。

Hong Kong is turning into a chaotic city and it can be seen on the aspect of land use. Prices of property is high and out of people affordability. Lack of public housing supply, lower class people could only pay high rental fee to get a tiny living space. It’s ironic that “Nanometer-Floor” and “Luxury Partitioned Flats ” have been promoted by political and business parties as “the future scenery of Hong Kong”. In north-eastern New Territories, residents of Choi Yuen Tsuen, Wang Chau have lost or will loose their self-sufficiency way of agricultural living. Habits, culture, traditions, living and working environment will also be changed because of the redefinition of land use. What kind of lifestyles and values will this changes bring to Hong Kong people? In the context of different countries and cultures, can the transformation of the nature of land will not be resulted as a commodities? Why do the right of land use can only be dominated by the government? Who can be allowed to change the use of land and who has the right to contaminate the soil? What kind of environment will we expect to hand-over to the next generation?

Through the performance art activity, The Five Elements – starting from the Earth, we hope to raise the public's attention to this critical land use issue. We do not simply use the method of concept to observe and present this issue but we use the nature of life to present it to the world. This is not just a description of life but a desire to achieve the original nature of life through creation. We use the most direct art form (body art / live performance) as a witness of martyrdom to close-up this issue. We hope to repair, examine, and reshape the trauma of society and to think about the meaning between land and human. We hope this project could inspire people with new interpretations of land use in contemporary cities and widen the vision of land use. The event will be held at Wang Chau and participating artists will do on-site creation through their personal experience and understanding on this issue. We will use our body as a medium to present Hong Kong's current land issues and reconstruct cultural ethics.

霸權與作為抵抗的創意
Hegemony and Creative Resistance
很令人遺憾的是土地鬥爭和開發商霸權成為香港的現狀。有偏見的媒體,資本主義的同情和日常生存無法將關鍵的群眾與土地鬥爭聯繫起來,就如新界東北和橫洲發展計劃等。不同的團體如何組織對開發商霸權的創造性抵制,又是否可以通過這些行動重新定義我們對香港土地和公地的理解的方式建立起來?

Land struggles and developer hegemony have regrettably become the status quo in Hong Kong. Biased media, capitalist sympathy and daily survival fails to connect a critical mass to land struggles such as the North East New Territories and Wang Chau Development plans. How have different groups organised a creative resistance to developer hegemony, and can this be built upon in ways that will redefine our understanding of land and the commons in Hong Kong?

“曲線和線條 - Koanic思考的行為藝術 ”
一位古老的禪師被問到“藝術品能不能成為一個koān?”答案很明確,“要麼它是koān,要麼它不是藝術品”。 但我們可能會感受到類似的願望,即滲透到現實的本質及其自然或製作的紋理中。 “曲線和線條 - Koanic思考的行為藝術”講座試圖將koān的概念引入行為藝術和行為藝術教學。 “Koānic思想”,可能會在我們所做的藝術中找到它的位置或者伴隨我們所做的藝術,因為它以強而有力的方式表現出對我們真實本性和內在的社會變革的激進願望。
"A Curve and A Line - Koanic Thinking on Performance Art-"
An old Zen Master was asked “Can a work of art be a koān?” The answer was clear, “Either it is a koān, or it is not a work of art”. But we may perceive similar aspirations, of penetrating into the nature of reality and its natural or fabricated textures. The lecture “A Curve and A Line - Koānic Thinking on Performance Art -” attempt to introduce the idea of a koan into Performance Art and Performance Art teaching. “Koānic thinking”, might find its place in guidance or accompany the art we do, because in a powerful way, it manifests radical aspirations towards our true nature and within: social change.

山水之間, 李綺薇 (Winus Lee) 陶瓷作品展

《山水之間》-- 李綺薇陶瓷作品展
The Poetic Mood between Mountains and Rivers - Ceramics Exhibition by Winus Lee

地點:Unit Gallery 賽馬會創意藝術中心 5樓 523室 (石硤尾白田街30號)
開幕酒會:9月14日 (星期五) 下午7時
展覽日期:2018年9月15日至30日 (星期六及日開放)
時間:下午1時半 至 6時

展覽簡介:
山水,乃千秋文人用之不竭的創作題材。山水之景,能大氣磅礡,也可清麗雅致,當這些山巒峰岳、江水湖泊都成了陶瓷瓶中一幅一幅的立體山水畫時,又各自構成富詩意的畫面。

李綺薇 (Winus Lee) 的個人陶瓷展覽「山水之間 」,藉古代文人的創作題材「山水」將傳統的陶瓷器皿變化,創作了盛載著不同形式,如畫一般的立體水山景緻,穿越時與空,將山水延伸到現代,邀請觀眾走進瓶中一片又一片的小天地中,感受大山水的氣魄,以新穎的角度看風景。

展覽作品以倒模及手捏方法製作而成,這是Winus慣用的創作手法。Winus是香港活躍的陶瓷創作人,作品尤喜歡將傳統手工藝融入當代陶藝中,營造一股新舊融合的趣味感。她畢業於澳洲皇家墨爾本理工大學(與香港藝術學院合辦)主修陶瓷藝術。曾入選兩屆香港藝術雙年展(2003 及2005年),並於2016年香港茶具創作比賽中獲季軍。其多件作品獲香港藝館購藏。
