城。癮
城市。
工商業發展的產物,
全球有近一半人口生活在其中。
癮。
城市的副產物,
有明顯的,有隱藏的;
生活在城市的人或多或少都會不自覺地沾染上。
癮,會改變情緒,帶來快樂;
癮,推遲了失落、沮喪等負面情緒的來臨;
癮,不能隨意控制,想脫離亦難。
活在這個「城。癮」中的你,是甘願被困,還是已被困而不自知?
是次展覽「城。癮」,將會展出7位就讀香港藝術學院應用藝術高級文憑課程學生的作品,作為明年畢業展覽的一次預展。
他們將會以不同媒介分享他們所發現的「城。癮」及看法。嘗試讓公眾從欣賞展覽的過程中,喚起自覺性,對自己及所生活城市更了解,從而反思自己與城市的關係。
Cit:diction
Cities
Being the "products" of the industrial and commercial development in countries;
Half of the world's population is currently living in them.
Addictions
Being the "by-products" of the cities;
Some are obvious; some are hidden within them.
People who are living in cities more or less acquired addictions unconsciously.
Addictions can change our emotions and bring us happiness.
Addictions delay the arrival of negative emotions such as feeling lost and depressed.
Addictions cannot be easily controlled; they are also hard to quit.
You, who live within this "Cit:diction", are willing to be trapped, or do not even aware that you have already been trapped?
In this "Cit:diction" exhibition, the artworks of seven students from the Higher Diploma in Applied Art programme of Hong Kong Art School will be displayed, as a preview of their graduation exhibition next year.
Through their artworks in various medium, the students would like to share their findings and views on "Cit:diction" with the audience. The students attempt to arise the consciousness of the audience, allowing the audience to understand more about their own self and the cities that they are living in, thus, rethink their relationship with the cities.
Artists: Joanne Ho, Dexter Lee, Mandy Lee, Esda Ng, Carmen Tsang, Raymond Wan, Tai Wong
