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!
在當下藝術博覽會(art fairs) 的熱潮下, 一般觀眾往往看到的是眾多藝術家簽名式的作品，卻甚少對作品背後的生成過程、藝術家的創作意念發展作太多的理解。
是次展覽希望嘗試開闊欣賞當代藝術的方法與模式。當代藝術重視概念發展，也相當依賴過程中如對題材的研究、資訊材料的整理、物理性的視覺效果實驗等。似乎，要了解一件藝術創作，單單看最終只方便展出或售賣的作品部分，還是有點不足夠。
故此, 這次我們邀請了來自學院的多位新晉藝術工作者, 在展出他們的作品的同時， 配以一本有關他們的創作的「書本」。作品和書本相輔相成、互相對應，讓觀眾反覆思考創作者的創作意向和目的，以及其直線或多向的思緒發展。
展覽邀請觀眾以嶄新模式一起「閱讀」當代 的藝術創作！
