【藝述心言】戀木 / 何濼聰 【Intimate Portrait】In the Mood for Wood / Ho Lok-chung, Dave

(2019年6月)有些人相信泛靈論,即萬物皆有靈魂,對動物、植物,乃至畫像和建築物均敬愛有加。有人或會說這是戀物情結,但其實每個人某程度上都會「寄情於物」,因為每一件物品都有它的痕跡與過去。在藝術家何濼聰眼中,木頭不僅不是「死物」,更有其個性。木是他的支柱,也是繆思,他對「她」珍而重之。

觀 Processing: on Mind-Mapping 群展以外的小思

早前到了灣仔的香港藝術學院,因為在十樓的藝廊正舉行一個群展「Processing: on Mind-Mapping」(展期至5月31日),參出了香港藝術學院的文學士學生及畢業生,如程苑蘅、劉思賢、劉婉婷、李寧峰、呂祉希、龐頌恒、黃敏靖及翁嘉文等人的作品,以mind map心智圖為名,通過他們八人的作品,是不是可以讓觀者如看一份份創作筆記或思維草圖般,令大家可以如展覽簡介中所言,窺視到藝術家感興趣的題材及反映其藝術思考的過程呢,那就真是在可以與可能之間,在可以與可能以外了。

給Mr. Magritte… 一個默默喜歡你的人上

親愛的René Magritte,  

您好!今天終於鼓起勇氣寫信給你。從開始接觸藝術我便對超現實主義產生興趣。喜歡它扭轉我們理性的觀點,把現實和夢境的界線模糊 ;亦享受那離開常理所引起的緊張感。佛洛依德透過論述來說明潛意識和夢境,超現實主義藝術家則利用畫作,將看似不合理和沒關連的東西拼貼在一起…

《存在的跳躍-藝術展》策展論述

藝術創作是需要理性和感性並重。當代藝術普遍偏向以概念出發,而概念大多偏向理性。展覽《存在的跳躍》就是希望由感性作創作起點的一場試驗。參與展覽的八位的藝術家以不同藝術媒介進行創作,他們會收到另一位參與藝術家的舊作,並在對該作品的創作者和創作理念一無所知的情況下,以其自身的作品以回應。這樣的安排一來是希望能在參展藝術家開展創作的時候,盡量把概念的成分減少,透過來自對另一藝術作品的美感經驗,以感性接收為創作起點;二來亦希望加強作品與作品之間的聯繫,在平面與立體、有形與無形、時間與空間、靜態與動態、傳統與革新、特殊與普遍及中國與西方之間對話。

【藝述心言】陶中人 / 盧世強 【Intimate Portrait】Once a Ceramicist, Always a Ceramicist / Lo Sai-keung, Louis

(2019年5月)剛參與了海港城於馬哥孛羅香港酒店舉辦的Harbour Art Fair,陶藝家盧世強向我們展示他的兩件新作:《Woman’s Brain》及《合巹交杯》。前者的靈感來自婚姻專家Mark Gungor的比喻,笑談男與女的大腦是沒連結與有連結的盒子;後者則凝住了婚宴上新人飲「交杯酒」的永恆一刻。

How gardening can fight stress, improve your health and make you a happier person

“When I studied fine arts here in Hong Kong, I did ceramics for a year. It was one of my favourite subjects because it involved handling clay. Working with a natural material like clay, which is not dissimilar to soil and water, was almost therapeutic. We recently started a communal composting initiative in our village, which is pretty exciting – by turning our green waste into compost we are creating even more nutrient-rich soil to get our hands into.”

Cutting Edge Young Talent HK

If you close your eyes and imagine an art collection, I’m sure you (like us!) envision works created through traditional mediums such as oil or acrylic paintings, perhaps a silkscreen print or a classic sculpture, all meticulously displayed against a clean white wall. However, with digital, virtual reality and AI-innovations transforming the way we live our lives – it is no surprise that art is increasingly meeting science and changing the definition of what comprises an artwork.
