Tomorrow Maybe at Eaton HK will host a collaborative exhibition with Sample Magazine (@samplemag.hk) and Lettercult from 10 December 2022 until 2 January 2023.
The multimedia exhibition is based on the contents of SAMPLE’s ISSUE 27 “E pur si muove” and ISSUE 28 “Terra Forma”. Artists Lazarus Chan Long Fung (@chan_long_fung_lazarus), Winnie Yan Wai Yin (@yanwaiw), Wong Winsome Dumalagan (@wsome_wd), and Tang Kwong San (@kwong.san) have been commissioned to create new artworks under the theme of GROUNDING.
Following a geology visit to Hong Kong’s Port the artists considered the ground and the Earth as a whole, using the experience to explore their thought processes before and after an imaginary landing on an alien planet, and make the initial experience of encountering a new land tangible again. Located in the North of Tap Mun, Port Island is a ‘red island’ with a distinctive landscape filled with reddish-brown conglomerate and siltstone. The four artists collected rocks and sands from the uninhabited island, observing history through the warping and cracking of rock strata to imagine the transformation of the land. The show’s themes consider the project of starting a new life on an exotic planet.
人類對外太空一直存在各種猜測與幻想,對異星生活充滿憧憬,冀盼有天能看到別於地球的風景。Eaton HK將聯同雙月刊的香港文藝評論雜誌《Sample 樣本》和Lettercult在2022年12月10日至2023年1月2日舉行以登陸異星為題的展覽。
《Sample 樣本》分別在第二十七期〈星際旅行手冊〉及第二十八期〈異星生活指南〉探討移居異星,並將主題延伸至是次展覽。是次計劃邀請陳朗丰、忻慧妍、黃慧心、鄧廣燊四位藝術家進行創作。藝術家登陸異星般的赤洲,重新探討人類如何從頭理解一片新的土地。
赤洲是塔門以北的一個島嶼,遍佈獨特的褐紅色礫岩和粉砂岩,亦被譽為「海上丹霞」。四位藝術家偕同地質學者到訪赤洲,於無人島上撿拾沙石,從岩層的擠壓塌陷觀察深層歷史,想像陸地的生成與變異。面對未知,每人也採取不同方式理解,不論是以科學為本或親身體驗,或是一段模擬,一次回首,一截實驗,一場歷險,也能增加我們對異地的認知,並指引往後的勘探查察。
四位藝術家借助赤洲之旅的考察經驗,將各自以視覺藝術的方式,探討着陸異星之前之後的思想歷程,再次摸索對土地的初始理解。思考異星,等同回顧地球。異星上開展新生活的計劃促使我們重新思考外星和地球關係,反思人類在地球該如何自處。
