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 》

《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 >>

 

<< 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。

hey_fruit
A cross-media creative who published two books “together because love” and “alone because love” in 2006 and 2007 respectively. For her, “creativity” after all is not necessarily for packaging and not as important as concept, organization and the action itself. Recently she has established a concept brand titled“aboveground” which keeps her ideas safe.

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

《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

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.
