周穎璇 CHOW, Christy
Hong Kong based artist Christy Chow has a background in theatre stage management and cultural studies. She creates video installations and interactive sculptures that concern humanity, sustainability and social justice. Through her on-going project “Laborland”, a dystopia and an amusement park where labor and play converged, she acts as a facilitator of alternate experiences and economies that operate in a way that is antagonistic to capital. Chow holds a BA from The University of Hong Kong, a BFA from RMIT University and a MFA from Massachusetts College of Art and Design.
Chow is a recipient of awards and residencies including Hong Kong Human Rights Arts Prize (2017), The Best of the Northeast Masters of Fine Arts (2015), Boston Young Contemporaries (2015). She has exhibited in Hong Kong, United States and Spain at venues such as Museum of Capitalism, Oakland; Para-site Art Space, Hong Kong; Blindspot Gallery, Hong Kong, Helen Day Art Center, Stown; Gibney Dance: Anges Varies Performing Arts Center, New York; 808 Gallery, Boston; Bakalar & Paine Galleries, Boston; Merino Art Centre, Boston; Pao Gallery, Hong Kong; Espacio de Creación Contemporánea, Spain. Chow currently lives and works in Hong Kong.

剛剛去了雲南旅遊,接觸了一些少數民族的有趣習俗。其中知道他們對女性的審美眼光原來和我們在西方文化影響下的標準完全不同。當地崇尚女性:肥為美,黑為貴。天呀!我們平日辛苦節食做運動, 還有買下一大堆的美白用品,如果在這邊生活便完全不需要了!
藝術家周穎璇(Christy Chow)的最新個展「:\She_Borg>」,在這個規模不算大的畫廊展覽裡,你會看到大大小小混合媒體的作品,大都圍繞著女性的軀體,這些具艷麗色彩的裝置或「畫作」,有的會配上錄像並置,還有聲效煙霧等效果,散發著Lo-Fi 與Cyberpunk 的奇觀氣息。這次展覽,已道出了藝術家多年創作中幾個重要的創作重點,彷彿成了藝術家發展的一次小型回顧。周穎璇的作品多是議題先行,視覺元素清晰,沒有太多隱瞞的訊息,這或許是藝術家的創作特色,這種單刀直入的視覺語言,在充滿曖昧的藝術潮流中,可算是一個異數。
