「展覽 ﹣熱!」
攝影,2007 《展覽 ﹣熱!》會展出三幅黄慧姸的攝影記錄作品,以焚燒其建築物盆景模型為記錄主題。眾所周之, 香港本是彈丸之地,跟本容不下多些藝術展館、公共藝術及藝術空間的商業樞紐。黄慧姸以此反覆思考, 創作出一些微縮、虛構的香港藝術館、展覽廳之類的建築物模型,如盆景般展現出來,作觀賞之用。完成 後,她以焚燒其作品去重塑香港的藝術問題所在。
黄慧姸 (香港) 生於一九八一年,畢業於香港中文大學藝術系,零五年於英國列茲大學 (University of Leeds)取
得藝術碩士。她本年近期的作品有香港藝術中心的「獨一有異」及伙炭藝術家工作室舉辦的「伙炭:工作室開 放計劃 2007」 ,及參展於零三及零五的「香港藝術雙年展」和零四於香港文化博物館的「建:香港精神紅白藍」 等。 Exhibitions on – Fire! Photography, 2007 Exhibitions on – Fire! presents three sets of documentary photography by Doris Wong. The photographic evidence was capturing the moment of the architectural bonsais was burnt to the ground.
In Hong Kong, a small city with fierce competition for space, there is hardly room to accommodate more exhibition venues, galleries and art spaces. Inspired by bonsais, Wong reflects on this reality and recreates miniature models of exhibition venues to be presented and appreciated in the same manner. Upon completion of these models, she set them on fire and the images presented leads us to contemplate on the state of the arts in Hong Kong.
Doris Wong (HONG KONG) was born in 1981. She graduated in Fine Arts at the Chinese University of Hong Kong in 2004. In the following the year, she obtained the Master of Fine Art at University of Leeds in Britain.
