On
Stage
20.1 — 7.2.2017
‘On
Stage'
presented
the
rehearsals
of two
locally
created
performances
in
visual
art
forms,
which
questioned
the
audience's
ways of
seeing
and
asked
them to
focus on
the
virtual
nature
of a
rehearsal
while
perceiving
the
semi-composed
music
and
semi-choreographed
movements
from the
broadest
sensory
perspective.
The
audience's
responses
might
have
inspired
the
artists
to
develop
their
ideas in
a
continuing
creative
process.
Participating
artists
include:
Jacqueline
Wong ,
Eric
Chan,
Chan
Wing
Yip,
Alain
Chiu,
Chu Pak
Hong,
Max Lee
and
Kenny
Leung.
Wong
Wai
Yin:
A
place
never
been
seen
is
not
a
place.
3.3 — 23.4.2017
Wong
Wai-yin's
installation
reproduced
the
recurring
dream-like
images
and
turned
them
into a
real-life
setting.
Audience
could
enter
the
dream-like
setting,
pick up
the
phone
and
listen
to a
paragraph
of text,
while
looking
at the
butterflies
dancing
in the
bin…
Between
reality
and
imitation
was
where
ambiguous
daily
objects
signify
a well
of
hidden
meanings.
Xu
Bing:
Dragonfly
Eyes
6.3 —
4.6.2017
Xu
Bing's
work is
a
narrative
feature
film
made up
of
numerous
surveillance
video
recordings
collected
by the
artist
and his
creative
team.
The
exhibited
trailer
invited
audience
to
re-interpret
these
moving
images,
challenging
conventional
understanding
of film
and
reality. The
28,000-facet
compound
eyes of
a
dragonfly
signify
the
omnipresent
surveillance
camera
lens. No
actors
or
videographers
are
involved
in this
film, as
the
characters
are
played
by the
different
people
captured
by
surveillance
cameras.
The most
objective
and
realistic
images
are used
to
construct
fictional
characters
and the
story.
Daily
life,
therefore,
becomes
a form
of
performance
and part
of an
artwork.
Annie
Wan
Lai
Kuen:
Collecting
Moonlight
18.3 — 31.8.2017
Annie
Wan
Lai-kuen
intervened
in
everyday
life by
placing
art
objects
into
real
settings,
breaking
the
conventional
ways of
display
and
viewing.
She
brought
art
further
into
living
by
creating
ceramics
mounded
from
found
objects
and
placing
them at
Oi! as
well as
mingling
them
with
real
products
at some
neighbouring
merchants.
Daily
objects
were
justaposed
with the
moulded
ceramics,
revealing
different
levels
of
reality.
It
thereby
created
tensions
between
recognition
and
imagination,
inviting
the
audience
to
reflect
on the
real-ness
and
essence
of daily
experience.
A map
was
provided
to
encourage
audience
to
search
for the
artworks
in the
community.
Special
guided
tours
were
also
organised
to lead
visitors
in
search
for the
artworks
scattered
in the
community.
Luke
Ching:
Allegory
Practice
of
Personification
18.3 — 31.8.2017
Luke
Ching
always
interferes
with and
responds
to
social
issues
through
art. In
this
project,
his art
practice
employed
personification
and
community
intervention
to
create
allegories.
According
to
writer
Italo
Calvino,
allegories
are
derived
from
suppressed
feelings.
In a
society
where
people
are
materialised,
personification
is a
means to
imagine
objects
as human
and
human as
human
again.
Through
communicating
delicate
sentimentality
in the
form of
allegory,
the
audience
are able
to
broaden
their
perceptions
and
imagination,
while
reflecting
on
public
issues.
