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。

藍曬及針孔攝影工作坊

Cyanotype / Camera Obscura Online Workshop

[Please scroll down for the English content]

重溫舊照片 迎來新記憶

早前光影作坊就着「邂逅！市中森」公共藝術項目，鼓勵大家分享曾在香港動植物公園拍下的照片。前塵影事別有一番風味，若是在數碼攝影當道的今天，換上以古老攝影技術、放慢下來捕捉當下，或可再為此刻的風景和心情留下不一樣的回憶，讓將來多重回味？

光影作坊亦將於年初特別舉辦兩項網上攝影工作坊 —— 藍曬及針孔攝影工作坊。有着過百年歷史的藍曬利用陽光的照射，呈現出藍色的影像；針孔攝影則以針孔作鏡頭，以長時間曝光令影像留在感光紙上。參加者將預先收到攝影材料，更會製作屬於自己的針孔相機，好讓你下次再訪公園時拍出更豐美的風景。

Creating New Memories with Historical Photographic Techniques

Our curatorial partner Lumenvisum has encouraged the public to share their old photos taken in the Hong Kong Zoological and Botanical Gardens earlier, as one of the campaigns to kick off our public art project "Hi! Flora, Fauna". Old photos evoke memories and emotions, how about we create our future reminiscences by using some old photographic techniques to capture vignettes of the here and now?

Lumenvisum will host two online photography workshops, the Cyanotype Workshop and the Camera Obscura Workshop for us to revisit the renowned Gardens in a different way.

Cyanotype is an old photographic printing process, utilising the light-sensitive materials to create blue images with unique qualities and characteristics, while a camera obscura is sometimes referred to as a pinhole camera since it is created without a lens but a tiny hole. With prolonged exposure, images can be made. In this workshop, a portable camera obscura device will be made by each participant with the guidance of the tutor. Participants can create unique and beautiful images through this tiny device during the next visit to the Gardens!

The Aura - Exhibition by Alumni of Hong Kong Art School

“The presence of the original is the prerequisite to the concept of authenticity. … It is significant that the existence of the work of art with reference to its aura is never entirely separated from its ritual function.” — Walter Benjamin, 1935

The medium of painting may sometimes evoke sense of nostalgia, however, the evolution of painting works and the many exciting forms they have taken on in recent years have led to countless reforming initiatives and forward-looking motives.   Reinterpret the aura of art and the nature of artistic authenticity by juxtaposing Walter Benjamin’s critical theory made almost a century ago and the contemporary artworks freshly created by the graduates from our painting major of our Bachelor of Arts (Fine Art)* programme; and see what you may be able to find out from this unique viewing and visiting experience.

Participating alumni:
Benjamin HAO | Phillip HUI | LAU Yin Yeung | Catherine PICKOP | Ivana PONG| June WONG

Painting Workshop: A piece of Cloud drifting in the Sky (conducted in Cantonese)
Date: 4 & 7/10/2019 (Fri & Mon)
Time: 3:30pm – 5:00pm
Target Participant: Aged 16 or above

This workshop is led by our alumnus LAU Yin Yeung.  The theme of LAU's recent oil paintings is focused on the drifting cloud in the blue sky.  He hopes his works bring tranquillity to the audience.  Through this workshop, you can experience some easy-to-handle and amusing traditional painting techniques and create your own piece of blue sky and white cloud.

「身體」的空間有幾大？「身體」的能力有幾大？
「身體」的極限有幾大？非標準的「身體」是怎樣活動的⋯⋯

我一直懷疑我的「身體」是一個怎樣的身體，它以怎樣的方式存在。「身體」到底是怎樣的東西？肉眼看到的「身體」，以及知覺感受的「身體」截然不同。我在對身體的陌生、不認識、不了解的情況下，從外觀、物件、感官、知覺重組對「身體」的認識。

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。

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。

《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.
