今次的講座將由香港陶藝家陳思光 Ray Chan See Kwong，分享他在「Hi! Hill 邂逅！山川人」的一個陶瓷創作項目的歷程及思考。他亦會示範用川龍泥做倒模和模壓。
「Hi! Hill 邂逅！山川人」是一個公共藝術計劃，於荃灣川龍村舉行，由十三組藝術家與村內社區合作，在昔日的村校和鄉村內創作在地性的藝術作品。身為其中一位的陳思光，先融入川龍村，再思考，從根本出發用當地的泥再開始他的陶泥實驗。最後，他與村內的茶樓及果汁店合作，由挖泥到創作茶杯。他與茶樓是怎樣開始這個關係呢？當他開始駐村的時候又有什麼有趣故事？川龍泥的特性又是什麼？陳思光將會在講座細說。

TALK & DEMO | RAY CHAN SEE KWONG: VILLAGE CLAY, VILLAGE TALES
Date: Sunday, July 22 Time: 3-5pm Language: Cantonese Address: LUMP Studio Free admission, no registration necessary Limited seating, first come first served
Our talk this time features ceramic artist Ray Chan See Kwong, and his participation in the "Hi! Hill" Art In-Situ Public Art Project at Chuen Lung Village. After his talk, Ray will demonstrate slipcasting and press-moulding using clay from the village.
The ‘Hi! Hill' public art project launched in March. Inspired by the past and present images of Chuen Lung and collaborating with village residents, 13 artist teams created site-specific works at the old village school and inside the village. As one of the artists, Ray conceived his project by embedding in the village and digging up local clay. In the end, he partnered with local restaurants and juice shop to create tea cups with clay that he dug up in the village. How did this partnership come about? What were the funny stories when he embedded among the locals? What can he tell us about this local village clay? Ray will reveal all of this in his talk!
