Curated by Kong Chun Nga, Kitty

So I say, “It’s a landscape painting.” is an exhibition by six Bachelor of Arts (Fine Art) alumni who are from the class of 2017, majored in painting. As enthusiastic painters, the exhibition showcases their ongoing investigation into the role of painting in the construction of a unique language. From scribbling of everyday thoughts, photos to paintings, the artists disclose their personal narratives bound up with their own biography, revealing events, dreams or emotional states.

Whereas the paratext of the exhibition hints upon the generic idea of “landscape painting”, the curator has written a note for guidance:

Once the painting is completed, death begins; “it” will sink endlessly and dissolve in the cold shards of ultramarine, which is infinite.
Some infer that the shards must contain an absolute sky. I prefer to dream that the surface represents a world reduced to a smooth vertical surface, like a slab of opaque glass. And when you look through the glass, you shall see birds singing as if they are hiccuping in a blue forest.
Now you might ask what is “it” to be exact, but to speak of it is to refuse. So I say, “It’s a landscape painting.”
—Kong Chun Nga, Kitty

So I say, "It's a landscape painting."

《而我會說:「這是一幅風景畫。」》

策展人:江俊雅

六位畢業於香港藝術學院(主修繪畫)的藝術家將於《而我會說:「這是一幅風景畫。」》展出他們新近的創作成果，籍此探究繪畫作為創造媒介的獨特語言。從每天的摘錄、相片至繪畫作品，藝術家透過創作探索並揭示著不同的可能方式，讓畫布上留下種種的個人經歷、似曾相識的回憶、夢境和 情感的絮語。

是次展覽的標題彷似與「風景」相關，策展人留下了一篇文字去讓人思考:

當畫作完成，「它」的死亡也隨即而來;「它」將無止境地沉淪並溶化為冰冷無垠的群青色碎片。 有些人相信碎片中裝載著一個天空。而我則想象畫作的表面是一個平滑垂直的世界，就像一塊䑃朧 的玻璃。若透過這玻璃觀看，你會看到一群鳥兒在藍色的森林裏如打嗝般地歌唱。
也許，你現在會問「它」究竟是什麼，然而它的存在卻被言說拒絕。
—江俊雅

「這是一個很認真和重要的展覽，我們研發了一部傳送器。」​

​

紙紮花炮的寓意是邀請神仙來到人間，並祝福村莊新一年風調雨順，合境平安。我們想展示這種工藝並希望世界能消除疾疫饑饉和刀兵災荒，人民康寧，世界和平​

​

但如果我們能邀請神仙來到人間，那就有辦法把我們也送去衪們的維度。經過多年的研發，我們成功了。​

​

這是一個展示傳統工藝和新科技的裝置展覽，也是在另一個維度取材的寶麗來NFT作品展。​

​

We have successfully invented interdimensional travel.​

​

Chinese flower cannons are traditional paper sculptures that invite the gods from heaven to the village and bestow their blessing upon us. The original goal of this exhibition was to showcase this traditional art craft and wishes that the gods can free the world from disease, hunger, war and disasters.​

​

But if we can ask the gods to come to our realm through this device, could we do it the other way around and visit their dimension? This question drives us to dig deeper and look into the mechanic and science behind this paper craft, and we found the answer.​

This is an exhibition of traditional and cutting edge future tech installations.This is also an extra-terrestrial polaroid NFT exhibition.​

在這個城市創作，好像注定不能只有一個身份，而這些身份讓自己跟各個類別都份外格格不入，從學院派到商業派，好像都沒有自己的位置，倒不如翻身越界，自己開闢一個小天地。展覽展示 這個小天地長成的過程，從小小的書本，到隨意的插畫，也有文字詩句，字裡行間，看似於小天地孕育出作品，其實是孕育出自身，這裡，是個尋回自我我的旅程。

是次展覽特地邀請由藝術家創辦的迷你書出版計劃《蛋誌》部份成員參與合作作品，包括alexlau、amanda vong、Curumber、Goodbye Victoria、H.L.、Leeon Li、Sesame。

Over the past couple of years, Boon’s artwork is practically made out of found objects and cardboard. In particular, the latter is a material that is recyclable and environmentally friendly. It also alludes to trade and globalization, and can be related to social issues such as inequality and rights if we think of old people making a pittance out of collecting cardboard on the street. As an art material it has a rich palette and can display lines and directions, lending a fresh angle of view and perception of extra space.

造物者是源頭，還是被造物帶領造物者尋找過去的本源？

「創造」一詞與藝術的關係密不可分，而誰是最初的創造者？誰是作者？這個問題不論在藝術層面還是對於人類自身都難以解答。在這個科技高速發展的年代，各領域相互融合，人類的創造力借此提升。但這條終極命題並沒有隨之而得到確實答案，反而衍生出更多相關疑問及想像。

帶著滿腦疑問在宇宙中理解得來的理論，人們統合為各種學問，繼而堆疊出歷史洪流中的各種科技，為生產帶來便利。造物者只需要制訂邏輯及概念，剩下來的就讓電子機器處理。藉此反問按下運行按鈕後是誰在創作呢？在一個高度隨機而混亂的數碼空間內，製定好的程序也會因變動無常的數據而改變。在等待電腦輸出成品的同時，作者變成了觀者。造物者負責記錄找出規律，再修改變數周而復始。這是同為被造物的我們，帶著半神的感覺尋找過去的源流。

展覽《自源作》思索文明的源流和自主與造物者的關係。從呼出的氣息衍生出互動的符號影像，由智慧型代理人的相互作用組成微型景觀。以強化學習建構出數碼現象，紀錄一段執行時間內發生的情節。造物者培植出作品，經被造物理解分析。得出一個沒有固定結構的主體，而在表現變化的空間。

The architect is the origin, or their creations lead them to the primordial root?

“Create” a word which cannot be separated with art, and who is the first creator? Who is the author? Those are some of the hardest questions throughout art history and for mankind. In the time when disciplines cross their border, cooperating with each other, more and more new technologies emerge, which mostly benefits the ability to create for mankind. However the answer of those questions still remains unsolved, even raising more questions coherently.

We comprehend and examine theories from the universe with a head full of doubts ,then integrate them as different disciplines of knowledge and by that we successfully achieve several technological miracles for production. Logic and Concept are the only manual works left for architects, the machine can take all the other parts of work. In this context, it is suspended about who is the creator after the button was pushed. In a highly randomized and chaotic digital environment, all the premade programs are sensitive and easily affected by data. During the machine export the finished item, architect becomes audience. They are responsible for log data and correct the source code over and over. This is us as creations who search from the existential matter with a sense of demigod.

The “Auto.mob” exhibition reflects the origin of civilization and the relationship between architect and autonomous. Generating interactive experience with symbolic visual images, composing a micro landscape with interactions from autonomous agents. Construct a digital phenomenon with reinforcement learning method, record a narrative within a period of runtime. The architect cultivates a result, analysis by their creation. Came to the conclusion that a structure without solid formula and a space performing variations.
