Play 4 Laboratory
玩轉實驗室
An art experiment to develop playful tools to reconnect Our Bodies with the City
一個以研發好玩工具去幫助我們重新連結身體與我城的藝術實驗

Participating Artists:
C&G, Andio LAI, WONG Wing Tong(Tong), Rik YU Wing Kei
C&G, 黎仲民, 王永棠, 余榮基

Concept:
During the pandemic, many cities were locked down, streets became deserted for months, and people were physically disconnected from each other and from their cities. Avoiding directly touching public facilities, many would use various tools to press buttons or push door handles in public space. These tools may help us stay away from germs and virus, but, at the same time, distance and disconnect us from our surroundings.
The current project attempts to develop different playful tools to help us re-enter our city in the post-pandemic era with our long-forgotten sensitivities.

Andio will make use of low-tech equipment to collect sound and play sound with our bodies in the city.
Rik will make use of pinhole photography, along with various tools, to rediscover the lights that once disappeared in his eyesights due to his previous illness.
C&G will begin with a question about Lo Ting, and develop tools to help search for Lo Ting’s traces in our city.
Tong will use drawing and micro-observational tools to discover the micro-sceneries that we often miss out.
概念：
疫情期間，不少城市都封閉起來，街道變得冷清，人與人以及人與城市四周也變得隔絕。大家為了避免直接接觸公共設施，更會使用不同的工具去按鈕、推門柄等。這些工具似乎有助我們與細菌和病毒隔離，但同時也把我們與周邊的一切割裂。本計劃「玩轉實驗室」嘗試研發好玩的工具，去幫我們重新投入疫情後的世界，讓我們重拾早已遺忘的身體觸感，重投我城。

黎仲民將以土炮的方法從城市中收集聲音，又以土炮的方法身體力行地發聲回應四周。
余榮基將運用不同的載體結合針孔攝影，探索他曾一度因病而錯失的光線。
C&G將從一個提問開始，嘗試研發工具去尋找城市中傳奇人物盧亭的蹤影。
王永棠將以繪畫和微觀的工具，去放大我們日常忽略的城市景觀，包括細菌和昆蟲的「細」界。

藝術在大南 (Hey! Big South!)
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
近年，社區成為各種文藝活動與創作炙手可熱的靈丹妙藥。結合起來的，可以是形形色色的社區藝術，也可以是藝術與創意的試驗場。你可以找到合家歡的藝文活動，同時亦能找到只有小撮人能參與的藝文活動。

曾經，我們將藝術視為一道力量，將失去光彩的社區再次重生，藝術彷彿成了救世主，忽視了社區內斂的力量。

如是，藝術與社區，彷彿變成了人流與資助的保證。

時移勢易，人和事都變得不一樣，我們又如何延續藝術與社區的關係？「藝術在大南」定點在深水埗大南街，或者我們能找到千萬個理由，來支持為何選址在這裡，但我寧願相信這只是一種偶然，就像不同時代、不同背景、不同理念的商店與藝術空間，在不同的時勢下紮根到大南街裡。這個計劃暫時借了他們的光，得到街上幾間店鋪與藝術空間的合作支持，化成有機的展演場，讓藝術家在這個充滿故事的地方，再次「重演（re-enact）」不同的故事，考驗一下藝術（家）如何在一個繁花的社區中「見自己、見天地、見眾生」。

在短暫的創作與協助過程中，樂見大部分藝術家的作品，都圍繞著「人」。的確，當一切都沒有群體的參與時，原來什麼都不是。

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.

Learning is an essential path that we have to travel. We take the first step at school, where we start our personal growth and build friendships. After a school has completed its mission of nurturing generations of children and its campus has retired from the contemporary scene, we, as grownups, still hold onto every single precious memory of our schooldays. Located in Tsuen Wan Chuen Lung Village, the former Chuen Lung Koon Man School is a village school that witnessed the development of generations of village children, the extension of rural connections and the evolution of community history before lying idle for many years.

To reveal past memories of this village school and strengthen the empathy of the local community, ‘Hi! Hill' public art project has been launched in March. Inspired by past and present images of Chuen Lung, the uniqueness of the village, memories of the school, the daily life of villagers and their own imagination, 13 groups of artists, including Leung Chi-wo, Kingsley Ng, Tang Kwok-hin, Kacey Wong, Chak Wai-leung, Ray Chan See-kwong, Chung Wai-ian and Ng Ka-chun, Monti Lai Wai-yi, Agnes Lee, Rainbow Leung, Leo Wong Chun-yam, Ricky Yeung Sau-churk, Yip Kai-chun and history educator Chu Yiu-kwong, together with our Design Partners, Eddy Yu and Hung Lam, Project Photographer, John Fung and Project Videographer, Lau Tak-shing work together with the village community to install site-specific works of art at the old school and around this picturesque village. This art project takes the public on a journey into forgotten spaces to experience village life, explore the traces of time, the land and the people, and to gain a better understanding of our local village culture and history. A series of workshops, guided tours and sharing sessions will be held during the exhibition period to give the public an insight into the education provided at the old village school and into village life, while also giving them the opportunity to help write the local story of this green and watery landscape. 

If you are interested in the project, please follow the Facebook page and Instagram of ‘Hi! Hill'.

《銀青乒乓》協作藝術計劃及展覽《落牙》
如葉下 故事起
計劃網誌：https://astheleavesfallblog.wordpress.com/

開幕：2016年9月9日 晚上6時正
展期：2016年9月10日 - 2016 年10月28日
時間：逢星期二至日上午11時至晚上7時正(逢星期一休館)

《落牙》是個實驗性很強的協作藝術 (Collaboration Art)計劃，由《銀青乒乓》策劃，藝術成果將於九月九日至十月廿八日在 1a 空間 (1a space)舉行。計劃旨在以創作動力及社會關懷，製造跨年紀的協作情境，啟動藝術家參予，並以視覺藝術探索個人身體之苦(落牙)跟社會及文化議題之間(如對衰老的文化判斷、長者的社會保障)的關連，同時深探協作藝術創作過程中，對話的意義、協同的困難及不同創作人的主體得到平等的呈現的可能。

策展人俞若玫相信只有時間可以培植有質素的對話，於是自本年二月開始，邀請了七位藝術家跟七位銀髮朋友配對，以單對單的形式參予創作計劃《落牙》。

計劃分兩部份進行，首先是「交換快樂」工作坊，藝術家帶長者去一個自已平日很享受的地方，已進行的包括唱K、行山、深水埗尋寶等等，銀髮也帶藝術家去一個自已平日很享受的地方，已進行如在公園耍太極、在園甫打理花草、飲茶、在家裡編織等等，雙方具體地進入對方的生活情境，藝術家有機會細緻感受長者平日的生活狀態及處境。

第二是創作部份，雙方以「落牙」為題，共同創作，或藝術家以個人作品回應是次跟銀髮相處及對話的感受。當中，落牙可以是意象，可以是生活實況，可以是故事的開始。如何以詩化的藝術語言打開更豐富的社會想像，身體跟身份有著怎樣的互構糾纏關係，身體的改變及衰落如何連繫個人感思及社會情境是關鍵，協作藝術的美學，也正正在於如何啟動平等對話及相互的理解。

參加是次計劃的藝術家包括（排名不分先後）
張康生
張嘉莉
張煒森
江田雀
黎健強及團隊皓齒會
馬琼珠及文美桃
Jesse Clockwork
另有盧敬華以錄像紀錄工作坊及創作過程

此外，不得不提，牙齒問題經常困擾長者日450常生活，如根據衛生署2011年進行的全港的口腔健康調查，香港65-74歲的長者(非居於院舍) 中，5.6%完全沒有牙齒，以基數 450,800來看，即有25, 245位銀髮是完全沒有牙的，還未包括75歲以上的長者。而使用長期護理服務的長者的失齒情況更嚴重，大約20%至30%完全沒有牙齒，平均有9.4顆牙齒。而長者不求醫的主要原因是因為費用太貴，付擔不來。

《銀青乒乓》成立於2013年，是獨立的社群藝術組織，旨在以藝術動力 ，建立銀髮及年青人平等對話的平台，也以多元的工作坊、藝術活動及展覽，為銀髮提供新鮮的藝術經驗，重新開動好奇心、想像力及創作活力，強化銀髮的主體，實現Creative Aging。

Grey and Green Ping Pong Collaboration Art Project
and Exhibition -《As the Leaves Falls》
Teeth falling out, story begins

Opening
Date: 9 September 2016 (Friday)
Time: 6pm

Exhibition
Date: 10 September – 28 October 2016 (closed on Mondays)
Time: 11am – 7pm

《As the leaves fall》is an very experimental collaboration art project curated by Grey and Green Ping Pong, the result going to be shown in 1a space from 9 Sept to 28 Oct. It aims to create a cross-age collaboration conditions, under social concern and creativity, artists would investigate the relationships between personal pain (fallen teeth) and social issues (e.g. Aging as a social problem and body decay) by using visual language. The project also aims to dig deeper about the meanings of collaboration and conversations, the possibilities and problems in achieving a balance and fair play of subjectivity with elderly during the creation processes.

The curator (Cally) believes that time cultivates quality conversation, of which she had invited seven artists and seven elderlies to join a one-on-one pair-up Collaboration Art Project《As the leaves fall》since February 2016.

The project is divided into two phases; the first phase is the Workshop of “Exchange Happiness”. As a starting point, participating artists share their favorite spots or leisure activities with their matching elderlies. Work-in-progress activities includes karaoke, hiking and ‘treasure hunt’ in Sham Shui Po. Concurrently, participating elderlies also shared their enjoyable spots or activities with their matching artists, such as practicing Tai Chi in the park, gardening at a lawn, have a Yum Cha gathering and weaving at home, etc. By participating in each other’s daily life, artists morph into attempt to get a firsthand experience and association with elderlies’ daily life condition.

The second phase is the creation part. Taking “As the leaves falls” as the theme, both parties will collaborate and create. Artist may initiate their personal creation in response to their experiences or dialogues with the elderlies. “Teeth falling out” could be taken as an imagery, a real life situation or the beginning of stories. To commence a fair, just and consistent conversation and develop mutual understanding is the beauty of Collaboration Art. It is the crux to widen the social imagination by poetic artlang (artistic language), to recognize the entanglement of body and self-identity, and to understand the relations between transformation/ decay of body and personal speculation to the social condition.

Supplementary information :
The prevalence of tooth loss in seniors severely affects their daily lives. According to the Oral Health Survey (OHS) 2011 published by the Department of Health, there are 5.6 % of non-institutionalized seniors with no teeth. With a base of 450,800, there are 25,245 toothless seniors in Hong Kong excluding those in the age above 75. Meanwhile, the tooth loss conditions of seniors of the Social Welfare Department long-term care services were even worse. About 20% to 30% of them had no teeth at all. Each had 9.4 remaining teeth on average. The unaffordable dentistry is the main cause of this situation.

About “Grey and Green Ping Pong Project” :
Established in 2013, the project aims at establishing a conversational platform, by using artistic force and creative workshops, for the grey and green generations to exchange ideas and share stories, fun alike playing ping pong game, which is an equal-based, two-way, ordinary, easy and embodied interaction.

Workshops provided by us will be multidisciplinary, e.g painting, improvisation dance, film-going etc, in hopes that, new artistic experience can release elder’s creativity, curiosity and imagination. Elderly identity and subjectivity would be the keywords during all the processes. Creative Aging is our mission.

In addition, the project also want to develop/discover new aesthetic from the amateur elderly artists. If grey have their own sensitive and stories, would there is a special elderly artistic narratives? How we review those works in aesthetic senses? Can we develop a new critic language to see the elderly community art works?
This project is curated by Cally Yu and thanks for all supports from independent donors and friends to make the project come true.

第一次的《西九化談實錄》之現場版，在6月10日順利完成！名為《落泥玩》。參與藝術家以裝置、寫生、行為藝術、聲音藝術等多種不同媒介，在街道上創作和展覽，各自帶點玩味地回應有關泥土的想像。陳泳因把一箱在油麻地果欄購買的鮮橙倒在一段異常寬敞的行人路邊， 並透過扮演不同的角色（如：街坊、師奶、港女等）， 為這堆貼有$58.8價錢標籤的鮮橙塑造不同的情景，把與橙有關之故事串連起來。故事包括早前在果欄附近的拾橙事件和在英國藝術館的一個用鮮橙砌出來的金字塔藝術品。最後，陳泳因扮演「藝術館工作人員」把其中一些鮮橙以氣珠膠紙包裹，和大量的鹽一起放入一個大玻璃瓶，搬上C&G 藝術單位，作為文獻展覽的一部分。另一位藝術家張才生，則事先把從多個新界泥頭山搜集回來的泥沙放進近一百個牛奶玻璃瓶內。《落泥玩》當日，他在水渠道休憩區的其中一個入口處，把眾多玻璃瓶疊起來，形成約一米高的三角形，再在頂端繫上多個彩色氦氣球。因為風勢緣故，有超過一半的玻璃瓶在藝術行動的過程中，跌破在地上，玻璃碎片與混雜的沙泥也因而成為這《輕力測試》作品的一個重要部分。

陳佩玲把休憩處當中的圓形地貌塑造成生日蛋糕，以移動感應裝置播放「生日歌」慶賀剛巧經過的市民，亦帶出「生日歌」其實在一年多前的佔領旺角是別有意義的；余榮基利用太子區一帶的地標特色：花墟及金魚，作為其行動創作的切入點，他以從花墟購買來的泥、仿休憩處矮街燈高度的樹幹、及黑色玩具小金魚，擺成一行直線，把休憩處短暫性地一分為二，測試市民對被日常見慣的物料以特殊的排列方式所阻擋的反應；文美桃曾親到新界東北，收集泥土，再經隔慮、研磨，自製一打東北泥碗，在休憩處邀請市民拿著泥碗，在收音咪的擴音下，透過耳筒，傾聽藝術家倒水到泥碗時、水溶化泥碗及現場聲音的結合，直到參與者手中的東北泥碗隨市區的繁囂聲溶掉。

現場版過後，《落泥玩》文獻展覽由2016年6月17日至2016年7月22日於C&G藝術單位舉行, 藝術家更在展覽首天分享了創作過程。除了讓未能親歷街頭創作的朋友，有機會了解《落泥玩》，藝術家們也利用了這個平台用自己的角度從新審視自己當天的游擊創作。

The first Decongestant's live event finished with a success on June 10th, 2016! Installations, live drawings in space, performance art, sound art and other mixed media were shown on Nullah Road for all passersby. All the works playfully responded to the theme about different imaginations from mud. Doreen Chan played different roles (such as neighbor, housewife, a typical Hong Kong woman etc.) on a street corner to create different scenes for a box of organes thrown on the ground. She specially bought the organges from Yau Ma Tei’s fruit wholesale market, and put on a price tag of “$58.8” on each one in order to connect this box of oranges with two stories: one being passersby picking up many oranges after a car accident of an old man at the wholesale market, and the other one being the art piece with fresh organes arranged in a pyramid shape in Tate Modern. In the end, Doreen Chan played the role of a museum professional to pack a number of organes with air-bubble wraps and salt in a huge glass container, and then move this preserved artwork to C&G Artpartment for the documentation exhibition. Another artist, Samson Cheung collected sand and rocks from various sites with illegal disposal of construction waste to fill up nearly a hundred of glass milk bottles. On the day of “Mud・Play, ” he piled up the glasses to build a one meter tall triangle, and then tied up a number of colorful ballons at the tip top of the glass hill. More than a half of the glass bottles were blown by the wind onto the ground in the middel of the event. The broken glass pieces mixed with sand and mud then became a very important part of this art piece titled: “Lightness Calibration.”

Peggy Chan re-appropriated the circular part of the Nullah Road sitting-out area as a huge birthday cake. She set up many speakers to be activated by passersby to play out Birthday songs around the cake and triggered one’s memory of the usage of Birthday songs in Occupy Mongkok during Umbrella Movement more than a year ago. Rik Yu’s works involved two symbolic icons of the Prince Edward district: flower market and goldfish. He used tiny toy goldfish in black color, soil bought from the flower market and tree trucks with the same height as the light poles in the park to draw out a straight line to cut across Nullah Road sitting-out area, in order to intervene pedestrians’ daily routines at the site. Man Mei-to’s art piece involved soil and sound. She made a dozen of bowls out of soil from the north-east of New Territories, and then invited each participant to hold a bowl, that has not been processed in a kiln, with water inside, until the mud bowl disolves. While holding a mud bowl, each participant also was invited to put on headphones to listen carefully to the mixture of soil’s disolving sound and the city’s noise.

The documentation exhibition took place from 17th June to 22nd July, 2016, with an artist sharing session on the first day.




有關西九化談 | About Decongestants: (please roll down for English)

自2007年開始，C & G藝術單位曾策劃超過十個與西九文化區有關的藝術活動，當中大部是在西九現址舉行；自2005年開始，C & G亦參與不少其他單位在西九文化區舉辦的藝術活動。十多年來，親眼所見、親耳所聞、親身所試，西九所營造的由上而下的「高格調」藝術，一方面影響著香港(尤其政府)對藝術價值觀念，即藝術是投資工具；另一方面，西九的出現，影響著硬件建設的重要性凌駕軟件政策策略，即未有全盤文化藝術政策策略就先招標建館；又另一方面，西九的出現，未能積極帶動政府發展其附近九龍西區，甚至全香港的文化藝術生態；另另另一方面，西九作為回歸後第一隻大白象的出現，局內人對西九發展往往欲言又止、吞吞吐吐，彷彿有痰封喉，此招成功拖延了十多二十年，促使政府對西九以外其他大白象工程，也一律採取封喉招數。問題數之不盡……

就此，我們從「西九化」的香港「談」起。

《西九化談 實錄》是一個以藝術家主導的長期藝術計劃，將定期在隔月的第二個星期五，在九龍西區的不同公共空間或公私難辨的地點，進行不同主題的微型游擊式藝術活動，而活動大方向是維護香港本土文明、推廣本土文化特色、發展本土一(綠化)帶一(行人)路機遇，活動期間鼓勵藝術家在公眾場合創作，鼓勵民眾欣賞西九化以外的藝術創作行動，亦鼓勵有機的互動式參與、合作、談論。每次均會有特定主題，透過連串的活動，發揮藝術創作含蓄以外的力量，以直接訊息表達，把創作意念告訴民眾：其實可以「這樣」看事物的，其實西九化的香港還可以「那樣」。

藝術家不怕被問「做乜諗嘢」，只怕被問「做乜唔諗嘢」，我思故我在，在現今香港，藝術家可能是最知道自己是存在的其中一群。趁現在香港「諗下」還未算犯法，就與眾同樂，公諸同好。

計劃於2016年6月10日(星期五) 下午7:00至8：30 首次正式舉行，主題為 「落『泥』玩」，應邀藝術家將透過即場創作，以藝術創作表達對上述主題的見解，鼓勵民眾配合藝術家參與觀察、創作、分享、討論、po上網等等。活動進行期間，我們會進行拍照及 / 或錄像記錄，作日後文獻資料展覽展示用途，讓未能現場出席參與的民眾了解相關活動情況。

Having curated more than ten art activities related to the West Kowloon Cultural District ever since its establishment in 2007, C&G Artpartment has also participated in many art events organized by other units at this cultural-site-to-be. In the past decade, the kind of “high art” we have witnessed, heard and experienced in this “West Kowloon” has much influence on Hong Kong’s art development in many ways. On one hand, it has been shaping the aesthetic values of Hongkongers, especially the local government officials, in terms of evaluating artworks according to their market values for investment. On the other hand, the West Kowloon project has assured the preceding importance of hardware development over the software in policy making. The government has not devoted much more effort to help with the arts and cultural ecology in the area of Kowloon West, nor much more for the overall cultural scene in Hong Kong either. On the other hand of the other hand, while the West Kowloon project is the first white elephant developed after the handover, local cultural practitioners have not been able to critically speak up about it. Chest congestion often comes into place, when one starts to talk about this elephant. Treatment of such congestion has been successfully delayed for almost twenty years. Indeed, to delay important treatments and to consume, therefore, to eliminate, the energy of the civil society, has been the favorite tactic of the Hong Kong government for all its white elephant projects. Millions of problems have appeared ever since….

Let’s start to talk about all these now, and let’s begin with the Hong Kong under “West-Kowloonization.”

“Decongestants for West-Kowloonization” is a long-term art project, driven by artistic practices. It will take place on the second Friday evening, in every other month, at public or semi-public space within Kowloon West. These micro guerilla art activities will attempt to safeguard Hong Kong’s local civilization, to promote local cultural characteristics and to develop the one (green) belt and one (pedestrians’) road for the locals. Participating artists are encouraged to make art in public area, while the public is welcome to appreciate art outside the designed zone of West-Kowloonization. Besides, interactive participation, collaboration and discussion are all encouraged. There will be a particular theme for each “Decongestant.” The series of art activities each time will showcase the subtle but powerful energy in art making and will directly exhibit the artistic ideas to the visitors, in order to open up the scoop under West-Kowloonization.

Artists usually are quite used to be asked: “why are you thinking so much?” However, they may not be comfortable to hear, “Why don’t you think?” Perhaps, I think therefore I am. Contemporary artists in Hong Kong nowadays probably know very well they are amongst this group of “thinking beings.” When it is still legal to “think,” we should take this opportunity to joyfully share more our thoughts with everyone in this city.

The first “Decongestant” was launched on 10th June, 2016 (Fri) from 7pm to 8:30pm, under the theme about “Soil・Play.” Invited artists responded to this theme, through their on-site art pieces. Audience was welcome to visit, to observe, to make his/her own works in response, to share, to discuss etc. There were photography and video documentation during the happening event, for a documentation exhibition afterward, in order to allow more audience members to have a better overview of all the art activities.

三年前，第一屆空城藝術節「坪輋•村校•展演」，吸引了近二千位朋友，到達閒置多年、位處坪輋的坪洋公立學校校舍，共享這處空間的美麗和被這空間啟發的各種藝術介入。那美好的四天，除了讓人看見邊緣和閒置空間的可能性，也讓我們和不少朋友，認識了坪輋這個地方。

由此出發，三年後，第二屆空城藝術節「坪輋•村校•之外」將跳出閒置的校舍，察看它所座落的坪輋村落空間。空城計劃再度與打鼓嶺坪輋保衛家園聯盟合作，邀請一眾藝術家，通過創作介入不同的邊緣空間，展現它們的可能性。三年後，讓我們從坪洋公立學校出發，放漫腳步，細看更廣闊的地景和散落在其中的藝術作品。

空城計劃 emptyscape
2011年成立的藝術團體，願景是通過藝術實踐及跨領域協作，研究與介入城市裡的邊緣空間，重啟這些空間的諸多可能性，並開拓這方面的公共論述。除了2013年第一屆空城藝術節(坪輋•村校•展演)，亦曾策劃吉場展演講座系列(2012) 、崖上的Party (2012) 、消失的教室無電插音樂會(2013) 、埋岸的Party (2013) 、原地.踏步：新界東北藝術展(裝置部份)(2014) 、祺森的Party(2014) 等。

打鼓嶺坪輋保衛家園聯盟
2012年夏天，數十位生活在香港新界東北、坪輋及打鼓嶺鄉郊村落的居民成立，除了致力通過行動、組織和教育實踐保衛家園的理念，也通過廣泛的公民社會結連，開拓香港市民對城鄉共生和可持續生活的想像。
