"Something Real (?)" (Solo Display)

Artists: Leung, Hiu Ling
Date: 1 - 19 June, 2020
Venue: New Asia College Ch'ien Mu Library
Statement:
To a relationship living in my dreams and reality,

The uncertainty of reality, the gaps and errors of memory, the power of dreams, and my hope to escape, push me to think about what is real. Evidence, memories in people, or what we can feel? In the days we do not know what is real, what can we believe in, what can stay?

Leung Hiu Ling was born in Hong Kong and studies Fine Arts in CUHK. She is interested in dreams and reality, fantasy and psychology, they always appeared in her art. She observes the world in a detached way, looking while keeping distance, because she thinks the distance between people, the world and herself, is the way to understand herself and others. Recording dreams is her habit to observe her own inner status in this reality as well as to escape and find another reality. Her works try to describe her own reality.


《這次抓住你了》 (個展)

作者:梁曉聆
日期:2020年6月1日至19日
地點:新亞書院錢穆圖書館
簡介:
獻給一段(夢)裡的關係。

現實的不確定性,記憶的斷層出錯,夢的清晰與貼身,我的逃避心理。
使我思考真實是甚麼,有證據的,有人記得的,還是感受到的。在不知甚麼是真實的生活/時代中,甚麼能夠確信,甚麼能夠抓住。

梁曉聆,生於香港,現於香港中文大學就讀。她的作品顯示出她對於夢與現實、狂想與心理的興趣。她的觀看角度總是帶距離感的,因為她的現實由幻想、電影、夢和記憶空隙組成,物理世界的生活與她的內在總有一種無法填滿的距離和空隙。記錄夢境是她觀看自己內在和逃離現實的方法;而她的作品嘗試描繪她的「現實」。

"Harsh Heat" and "As Tantalus Quenches His Thirst" (Duo Solo Display)

Artists: Lo Wing Tao and Tam Man Ching
Date: 20 - 24 January, 2020 and 18 - 29 May, 2020
Venue: New Asia College Ch'ien Mu Library
Statement:
"Harsh Heat" — I have learnt at a young age that Water Ghosts are the most ferocious. If I were to become a ghost amidst the vast Summer sea, I would probably, in days reeking of sweat, slam heads against walls with brute force, sing hymns in Japanese at the top of lungs, sanitize wounds with brute force, murmur prayers in Spanish at the top of lungs, hold “good morning” towels tight within palms with brute force, and while petting doggies with tears running down boiling cheeks, make a scene.

Lo Wing Tao (b. 1998, Hong Kong), eldest son in the family, takes interest in freestyle cooking and freestyle embroidery, and wishes to have a dog. Lo currently majors in Fine Arts in the Chinese University of Hong Kong, graduating in 2020 hopefully. Shifting among installation, western painting and poetry, Lo presents through his creative practices amplifications of vagueness and the theatrics of instinctual sentiments in a very careful manner.

"As Tantalus Quenches His Thirst" — In the Greek mythology, Tantalus enraged the gods and was punished by Zeus. He was made to stand in a deep pool of water but whenever he was thirsty and bend to drink, the water was drained. Trees dangled fruits above his head, yet whenever he tried to grasp them in his hands, the wind would toss them up towards the clouds, making him bear eternal hunger and thirst. A huge stone was also hung above him, putting him in fear forever. Maybe we could teach Tantalus Cao-cao's way. When his men were parched, he told them there were tons of plums in front of them. The soldiers drooled and hurried on straight away. Cao uplifted his whole army with simply a sentence, perhaps it could be helpful to Tantalus as well?

Tam Man Ching was born in Hong Kong in 1998. She is deeply interested in dogs, space, extraterrestrials and archaeology. Tam is currently an undergraduate student of Fine Arts at the Chinese University of Hong Kong and will probably graduate in 2020. Her creative practices mainly involve mixed media and installations, examining and exploring the relationship among constructs and people with everyday objects.



《猛暑》及《深水之中止渴思梅》 (雙個展)

作者:盧永滔及譚敏晴
日期:2020年1月20日至24日及2020年5月18日至29日
地點:新亞書院錢穆圖書館
簡介:
《猛暑》 — 從小就聽說水鬼最猛。若要化身暑熱海水裏的一隻鬼,大概會在汗流滿面的日子裏,大大力把頭撞向牆、大大聲用日文唱聖詩、大大力消毒傷口、大大聲用西班牙文呢喃禱文、大大力捏緊祝君安好毛巾,淚流滿面地摸著狗狗,大鬧一場。

盧永滔(一九九八年生於香港),家中長子,興趣是隨意烹調和隨意刺繡,希望養狗。現就讀香港中文大學,主修藝術,盼能於二零二零年畢業。創作徘徊於裝置、西畫與詩之間,盧小心翼翼地呈現放大的模糊與本能情緒的浮誇。

《深水之中止渴思梅》 — 希臘神話中的坦達羅斯是宙斯之子,他觸怒了諸神,被宙斯打進冥界。他被罰站在深的水池裡,當他口渴想喝水時,水就退去;他的頭上有果樹,肚子餓想吃果子時,樹枝即被吹往上,永遠忍受饑渴的折磨;還說他頭上懸著一塊巨石,隨時可以落下來把他砸死,因此永遠處在恐懼之中。或許我們可以教他曹操的做法啊。士兵們口渴到快支撐不住就跟他們說前方有很多梅子,他們聽到都口水直流,趕快上路。一句話支撐起了整隊軍人,那麼也應該能支持坦達羅斯吧?

譚敏晴,一九九八年生於香港,對狗、太空、外星人和考古有興趣。現就讀香港中文大學藝術系本科,可能於二零二零年畢業。其創作以混合媒介、裝置為主,多利用日常物品嘗試檢視和探索建構與人之關係。
