「啟德」視覺藝術研究與發展中心──「視藝社區起動」(VArtCommunity)將於2014年1月18日至2月14日在啟德校園畫廊舉辦以《密件〡致九龍城》為主題的社區藝術展覽，展出四組視覺藝術院畢業生的作品。(藝術家: 陳文俊、張景威、施世展、謝斐及葉建邦) 九龍城由昔日的機場，搖身一變成為今天的遊輪碼頭，社區結構經歷了重大改變。是次展覽的理念源於九龍城不斷衍變的城市風景，五位藝術家遊走於九龍城舊區的大街小巷，他們透過長期的觀察，在九龍城的改變中發現了一封封的「密件」，如統一和諧的顏色系統，或如由空港變為碼頭的意象，又或如樓宇高度與聲音之間的關聯等。 藝術家透過另類的觀察，發掘該區獨有的秘密，並把這些潛藏於社區內橫街窄巷細緻而不斷變化的印記，轉化成充滿創意及情感的藝術作品，描述九龍舊城的歷史及近年的改變，重現及重建屬於該區的回憶。這些秘密可以是美的、可以是浪漫的，也可以是無法解釋的複雜關係。這些秘密就像陌生人的電子密件般，偶然地傳送到藝術家的手上，等待以不同的形式重現。 *中心將舉行有關展覽的內容及前英國皇家空軍軍官俱樂部（一級歷史建築）之歷史的四場導賞。名額有限，先到先得。如欲報名，請致電3411 8210（林小姐）或電郵[email protected]。 場次日期及時間 1 25/1/ 2014 (六), 10:30am 2 25/1/ 2014 (六), 11:30am 3 8/2/2014 (六), 10:30am 4 8/2/2014 (六), 11:30am 「啟德」視覺藝術研究與發展中心-「視藝社區起動」 香港浸會大學視覺藝術院於2013年成立「啟德」視覺藝術研究與發展中心，以一級歷史建築啓德校園（前英國皇家空軍軍官俱樂部）為基地，舉辦學術活動及社區計劃，推動及發展本地以及鄰近地區的視覺藝術發展。中心由三個部份組成：藝研樞紐、視藝社區起動、藝苗仲介，以策劃不同類型的藝術活動。 「視藝社區起動」包括多項社區藝術活動，藉著與非政府組及慈善機構合作，提昇藝術家和普羅大眾的互動關係，並且在藝術創作的過程中引發對文化藝術的興趣與潛能。同時，藉著開放歷史建築，讓大眾能置身其中，加強本土的文化保育意識。 The VArtCommunity, kaitak – Centre for Research and Development in Visual Arts announced today that a community arts exhibition entitled The Blind Carbon Copy (BCC) to Kowloon City will be organized from 18 January to 14 February 2014 at the gallery of Kai Tak Campus, showcasing four groups of artworks created by the alumni of the Academy of Visual Arts. With the conversion of the former airport into the cruise terminal now in place, Kowloon City has undergone a radical transformation in respect of its social fabrics. Inspired by the evolving cityscape of Kowloon City, this exhibition is about the untold secrets that the 5 artists discovered through a long period of observation when they rambled through the streets and lanes of the district, such as the consistent and harmonic colour combinations, the notion of change from the airport to the cruise terminal, and the relationship between the building height and sound in the district. The artists transformed these delicate yet ever-changing imprints hidden in the dank alleyways of the district into a wide range of imaginative and stimulating works. Through their artistic creation, the artists offer their alternative observations in an attempt to portray the past as well as the present of the district, renewing and rebuilding the memories of the community. These secrets can be beautiful and romantic, but can also be about some unexplainable relationships. They are just like some BCC emails unintentionally received by the artists, waiting to reappear in another way. *Four sections of guided tour will be arranged for the public about the exhibition and the heritage of the former Royal Air Force Officers’ Mess (Grade I historical building in Hong Kong). For registration and enquiries, please contact Ms. Lam at 3411 8210 or through email at [email protected]. First come, first served.
