Hidden Town

WURE AREA Room 707, 7/F, Block B, Po Lung Centre, 11 Wang Chiu Road, Kowloon Bay, 觀塘

Two photographers, Rabbit Ho and Hiuman Lam, walked around the area's industrial buildings […]

Symbiosis Unbound: A Cross-disciplinary Workshops Exhibition

WURE AREA Room 707, 7/F, Block B, Po Lung Centre, 11 Wang Chiu Road, Kowloon Bay, 觀塘

Symbiosis Unbound: A Cross-disciplinary Workshops Exhibition   「無邊共生」——潛隱於本地邊陲間,取之自然,植之城市。此刻彼地,共時孕育各自遺下的痕跡。   攀山涉水遁入城市角落,沿路俯拾感官的反饋:濕土鑲入甲邊,腳下枝葉破碎,蛛網在眼前現形,舌上有果蔬清甜。 過長的暑氣中,我們在田間山邊行走、流汗,圍坐看石、讀書寫字,又搗泥調色、引陽光曬畫,風偶爾潛來觀摩,勾勒當下快感。 融入自然,我們得以模仿植物,感知養份的傳遞。小心翼翼將郊野經驗移植到都市空間,悉心灌溉,揣摩一種本真的創作狀態。 計劃作為「過界Gen圖文——跨界創作生活營」之成果展覽,早前已招募二十四位年輕寫作者、插畫師,深入八鄉、馬鞍山、坪洲等三地作考察,並接受一連串由文化團體、藝術家、作家帶領的工作坊,於自然空間琢磨意念,發掘全新的創作角度。 活動日過後,參加者以「圖像 x 文字」的構思作配對,將錄像、圖畫、文字、攝影、裝置等的成果組合呈現人前。地緣、記憶、此時、彼岸,集體停靠在創作的中途站,由後來者逐一指認。 ○ 展期:11月19日至12月11日 時間:逢星期五至星期二,1pm至6pm 地址:九龍灣 宏照道11號 寶隆中心B座 7樓 707室 (敬請提前預約) 策劃團體:水煮魚文化 @fleursdeslettres 場地夥伴:WURE AREA @wurearea 贊助機構:香港藝術發展局 #HKADC
