隔窗有夢 // Dreams on the Window

隔窗有夢　Dreams on the Window

兩月前在灣仔aco（藝鵠）書店為期8天的「報夢」活動反應熱烈，徇眾要求加開特別場，今次嚟到活化廳！五月份「隔窗有嘢」，藝術家花苑將來到油麻地，聽你說夢。

無論是完整的或是片段的，也歡迎你來，將你所發的夢告訴花苑。她會即席創作一張剪紙，貼在玻璃窗上，作為夢的回應或再創作。

Following the rave response of Karden's “Dream-telling” event in aco books in March, the artist will come to Woofer Ten and listen to your dreams! Tell Karden you dream, whether it is a whole story or a fragment, and she will make paper-cut and post them on the window.

花苑　Karden

花苑　未曾接受過學院的藝術訓練，離開設計工業後自學版畫，有時用版畫來回應社會的事，有時用版畫和設計來糊口，近半年起自學剪紙，自覺有審美障礙。

Karden has never received academic art training and started learning print-making after leaving the design industry. Sometimes she makes print in response to current affairs; sometimes she makes a living with prints and design. Half a years ago, she teaches herself to do paper cut. Karden finds herself having difficulties in appreciating beauty.

《光明憧憬 // Lightvisions 》

2011-03-12T03:49:00.000-08:00

《光明憧憬》Lightvisions
「我害怕光明。」

在安全又漆黑的陰暗裏，她肉帛相見。她安心。她暗藏著。如果有光又如何？
在陰暗裏她找到慰藉，一身包著閃動的小燈；在陰暗之下卻又弱不禁風。肩負的愈見沉重，惟有盡力逃離那瑣細的陰暗。你看見她時看到甚麼？你看見自己時又看到甚麼？
“I’m afraid of the light.”
...In the safe, inky darkness, she is alone in her skin. She is secure.
She is invisible. so what happens when the lights come on?
She finds comfort in the dark, wrapped in fairy lights, moving, blinking lights. But her body is vulnerable under the cover of darkness. The burden weighs heavy, and she must try to escape the pinpointed darkness. She wants to get away from the darkness, what do you see when you see her? What do you see when you see yourself?

<< 我跳 // I Dance >>

2011-03-12T02:37:00.000-08:00

<< 我跳 // I Dance >>

直至頭髮一直長長，直至時間到了要停頓的刹那。如果可以憑著一個單純的祈願生存，我會。如果這零星是一個祝願，我跳。
櫥窗內立著一個人偶，觀眾／途人被邀彈奏，彈奏之際，演出開始，我跳，開始講述著故事，如若途人停止彈奏，故事亦被突然終結。在觀者與演者及人偶之間，從一個狀態過渡至另一個狀態……

As long as my hair is growing long, as long as time is going to a moment to stop.
...If I can live on a simple invocation, I will. If all these fragments are blessings, I dance.
The performance will start when an audience or passer-by play the music. The puppet inside the window will dance and tell a story. When the music stops, the story will come to the end...

喜嘻果
著有二繪本創作《因為愛　我們在一起》 (2006) 與及《因為愛　我們獨個兒》 (2007)，曾參於多種不同媒介的創作，後來便發覺，原來不太必要以「創作」作為一個包裝，真正重要的，是從觀念、策劃以至行動本身。
現用心經營意念品牌 aboveground，期望在工餘課後能為意念找出一條生路。

Recently she has established a concept brand titled“aboveground” which keeps her ideas safe.

小喇叭，大動作 // 'Small Trumpet, Big Movement'

2011-03-12T02:14:00.000-08:00

《小喇叭，大動作 // Small Trumpet, Big Movement 》

西九文化區以大為要，重國際，輕本土，帶動的可能只是地產項目及旅遊消費，跟真正在西九生活及工作的人亳無關係，更湮沒了小區的需要及破壞生活空間。丸仔及俞若玫嘗試以土炮方式把地區願望以舞動的方式再現。俞若玫將以小喇叭讀出過去兩星期收集得來的街坊心願: 「如果你有放大的能力，你會放大什麼?」丸仔在壓縮的封閉空間即時以身體舞動回應，正是小區自強的寫照，顯出變化而柔軟的生存力度。
The West Kowloon Cultural District aims big and overlooks the small, promoting a real estate project and tourism consumption but not related to the everyday life within the district. In this performance, Cally Yu will read out the wishes that she... collected from the neighbours in the last 2 weeks what to amplify and Yuenjie will respond with his body in the enclosed space. The action is a reflection of the community's striving and the people's flexible and tender living force.

無視不在 // Seeing is Existing

二零一零年三月二十八日至四月二十三日，承蒙香港藝術發展局的資助，魂游在美國佛蒙特工作室中心，與其他五十位來自美國本土及世界各地的藝術家及作家，一起參加了盛大的駐留計畫，在乍暖還寒的四星期裏集體吃喝玩樂少不了，在 Ward Shelly、Carole Robb 等多位著名訪問藝術家的激勵下，與時間逐賽，扮雕塑家，手指插電鑽，竄進陰深地庫的暗室，摸黑探墓地，造相機，好趁朝暮交替之間熬冷拍攝，屢敗屢試，排除萬難，終於創作了最新一系列針孔攝影作品《無視//不在》。

事隔半年，周遊列國，記憶或已埋在影像裏。謹此相約各界友好，一同駐留活化廳櫥窗，在對話與影像中再提取跨時空印象，回味駐留的意義。

From 28 March to 23 April 2010, wen yau was supported by the Hong Kong Arts Development Council and took up a residency at the renowned Ve...rmont Studio Center (VSC), USA. Located in a small town called Johnson in the state of Vermont, the VSC hosts 50 residencies each month for artists and writers from across the country and around the world. From eating and drinking to making holes on metal boxes as well as her thumb and waiting for the time passing by in the cold, wen yau went on an adventure in alienated time and space. Her newly developed work in the Seeing is Existing pinhole photographic series was highlighted by the VSC Founder. This Saturday, almost six months after her time in VSC, wen yau will try to recover her memories of light and shadow in Vermont and examine what residency means for her and local community.

撮合人人發生(正)不正當的關係 // la- pí tiáo

入夜，紅橙黃綠青藍紫色的燈箱蔓延上海街，邊扯煙邊爆粗的紋身大哥、等客拉客的陀地北方與異國佳麗、似是等人實是昅女的嫖客……種種社會邊緣人常出入於這個老舊與複雜的紅燈區，時刻為交易作準備。

性工作是人類最古老的一個行業，它源自人類的渴望。性於傳統社會長久被視為禁忌，雖不至完全羞於啟齒，但卻不能公開談論，是次請來上海街雙性工作者單對單探討有性或無性種種自身與社會題目。

After nightfall, colorful lights pervade Shanghai Street. Tattooed men are walking about, smoking and swearing; local and foreign beauties are waiting around, soliciting. There are people loitering and taking peeks... A wide range of marginalized people pervade the demographic in this old and complicated red-light district, and are prepared to engage in exchanges at any time. Sex work (prostitution) is one of the oldest professions and originates from instinctual desires.

Sex has long been a taboo in traditional society and is not openly discussed. lā pí tiáo (verb) means to be a pimp; work as a pimp. In this one-to-one performance, a bisexual sex worker will be invited to verbally engage the audience in sexual and/or nonsexual matters in relation to oneself and social issues.

我在這裹做關於藝術=生活=開會的事情 // I am here to do art=living=meeting

「在過去一年，每次來活化廳，大約有九成九的時間都是開會開會和開會。如果我算是這條街的其中一個街坊的話，那我的生活便全都是開會開會和開會。如果生活就是藝術，那開會等如生活等如藝術。」

"In the last year, 99% of my time spent in Woofer Ten is for meeting, meeting, and meeting... If I am a member of the community here, most of my living experience is of meeting, meeting, and meeting. If living is art, meeting means living and living means art."

思念人之衣 // Memory Clothed Here

「思念人之衣」
" Memory Clothed Here " by Ivy Ma
27/2/2010（六Sat）2-5pm

思念人之衣 // Memory Clothed Here

從上海街一號到七百三十號，我看到這些「掛著」的生活氣息；我愛舊街道，這裏令我想起我在皇后大道東唐八樓居住時，在天台曬衣服的日子。我愛舊事物，這裏有「利工民」── 那啡色，那只鹿，那老實的賣相；我想起小時侯，媽媽在冬天時不斷喊著要我以它「打底」。在香港大半個世紀的她，大概從不知道有H&M，亦不知道上海街有朗豪坊。Sense of Place，對一個地方的感知，也許就是這樣一回事吧。我會收集一些的舊衣物，穿上，想想……一條真正的街，生活的實感。

I walked pass from no.1 to no.730 in Shanghai Street, back and forth. I love authentic street scene and old things there, which remind me a lot about my personal history. 'Sense of Place' -- a real street, a sensational district, not about a single fancy shopping mall, but the varieties of local activities, living patterns and sceneries that grow genuinely and organically there. Collecting old clothes, I wear them inside the display window; I observe the street and look at people passing by… through bodily action, to sense the sense of place.-- ivy ma

Ivy Ma

表面多心，由裝置到攝影到繪畫；但對她來說，其實是同一樣的事。

九八年前從未留心上課專心做一件事；九六年大學畢業從事新興網絡行業不想上班；九八年工作以外時間，修讀純藝術，學會專心一意；零一年拿獎學金到英國進修一年；零三年於本地藝術機構工作仍不太想上班；零四年間中教書起初難以適應；零五年開始頗頗出國，找寧靜的創作空間，亦接觸大自然；零八年得獎項到美國實習及遊歷一年；零九年回港不想再出走專心創作尋找心中的自然國度。

Ivy MA attained her BA (Fine Arts) degree from Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT) / The Art School in 2001 and the MA degree in Feminist Theory and Practice in the Visual Art University of Leeds, UK in 2002. She received the FCO Chevening University of Leeds Scholarship from the Hong Kong Arts Development Council in 2001. In 2008, she was awarded a one-year fellowship ( Lee Hysan Foundation Fellowship) from Asian Cultural Council.

館藏－－棄置回憶錄

Collection: Discarded Memoir

日期 Date: 　21/11 & 28/11/2009 (sat), 2-6pm

上海街，繁華一時的街道，如今龍蛇混集。沿路的唐樓，店裏售著精巧的廚房日用品、花枝招展的婚禮服飾，各色各樣。在一連兩個週末裏，黃頌恩將會到上海街收集形形式式的物件，物以累贅，逐一整理，羅列在活化廳藝術空間的廚窗內，透過物件，展現上海街的人物、地方和故事。

In her on-going performance, Magdalen Wong will collect discarded items along Shanghai Street, a previously prosperous area now known for its brothels and nightclubs along with its vibrant "tong-lau" – a balcony-type tenement building – with shops selling a great variety of stuff, from elaborate kitchen wear to fancy wedding gowns. Collected items will then be arranged and shown in the window display of Woofer Ten in Shanghai Street Artspace. As the weeks go by, the collection will accumulate into a display of social-geographical items that identify with that specific area.
