展覽“Every Day”以紙本作品、繪畫、物件和聲音裝置為特色，通過無聊乏味和時間的交織關係來探討日常生活。

無聊在本質上其實甚麼也沒有發生。受自身在零售行業的工作經驗影響，林頌文探討困乏的思緒如何吞噬日常生活。在節奏快速變更的零售環境中，需要始終如一的敏銳反應以追求不斷變化的雄心志向。這追求的徒勞並不亞於西西弗斯(Sisyphus)的命運。

但如海德格(Heidegger)所提，最深刻的無聊卻使人能夠從根本上面對自我並探索存在的意義。無聊困倦隨著時間的推移而變化，並在面對和適應徒勞之間變得模糊不清。透過組織整合展出作品的關係，藝術家試圖通過她的生活方式，或者她根本從不活著的方式梳理自我意識，喚醒而非擺脫深刻不一的虛無心理，以探索關於與生俱來對存在問題的渴望。

Featuring works on paper, drawing, objects and sound installation, this “Every Day” exhibition investigates everyday life through the intertwining relationship of boredom and time. 

Essentially, nothing happens in the state of boredom. Influenced by her workplace experience in retail business, Tracy explores how the weariness engulfs the everyday life. The fast-paced retail environment requires a consistent agility to pursue the ever-changing ambitions. The futility of pursuing is no less significant than the fate of Sisyphus.

As per Heidegger’s suggestion, profound boredom empowers an individual to radically face the inner self and search the meaning of being. In the course of time, boredom varies and is clouded between confronting and adapting to the futility. By exploiting the sum of several bodies of work, the artist attempts to realize herself by the way she lives or does not live at all, awake instead of shaking off the different intensity of emptiness to explore the existential question about the innate desire of reason.

Hong Kong Art School and RMIT University are pleased to co-present the Master of Fine Art Graduate Exhibition 2018 in this September. Entitled as “Peeling the Onion”, the exhibition showcases the artworks of 10 graduates from the MFA programme.

Why “Peeling the Onion” ? Onions are bitter-sweet when raw and they are a vital ingredient in the creation of many dishes, the act of preparing them can cause a few tears. This is an appropriate metaphor for our graduates’ various experiences of the two-year MFA programme, referencing the emotional journeys and the artistic processes undertaken by them.  Through this exhibition, our graduates peel back the layers of their own unique artistic practices - based in ceramics, photography, painting, performance and more - to try to uncover some essential understanding about their artworks, showing their attitudes and approaches as visual artists.

Venue: Pao Galleries, 4-5/F, Hong Kong Arts Centre, 2 Harbour Road, Wan Chai, HK

Tracy Chun Man Lam was born and lives in Hong Kong. Monotonous and intimated, detached and attached, Tracy’s multidisciplinary practice, incorporating drawing, photography, text, video, and assemblage, poetically responds to her tension and existential experience of everyday life.

Her use of materials is inspired by a wide range of mundane objects. Using accumulation and fragmentation as making methodologies, her labor-intensive works create a sensory experience for viewers to explore a psyche of alienation and boredom inherent in contemporary life.

PROCESSING: on Reading Art

Countering the prevailing trend of contemporary art fairs, which tends to place emphasis on the signature artworks or the artistic outcomes rather than the conceptual development and the making process behind, this exhibition is designed to open up another way for perceiving contemporary art. 

From conception to realization, the making of contemporary art involves substantial researches, in-depth analysis of materials, and countless experiments with the visual presentation throughout the process.  The beholders may miss out the essentials if they can only get access to the artistic outcomes at the end.

In this exhibition, a group of emerging artists from the Hong Kong Art School are invited to showcase their artworks together with a “book” that documents their creative process.   The work and the book form a unit of exhibit, they complement with each other, allowing the beholders to peek through the creative initiatives and understand related development.

The exhibition invites you to "read" contemporary art in a new mode!
