Hong
Kong Anarchitecture Bananas: Artists who reclaim space
Artist Commune, Hong Kong
29 Mar – 17 Apr 2008
Hong Kong Anarchitecture
Bananas: Artists who reclaim space is a group exhibition exploring artists'
interpretations of urban planning, architecture and design. It will be held at
Artist Commune, Hong Kong, during 29 Mar – 17 Apr 2008.
Curated by artists Lee Chun Fung and Michael Lee Hong Hwee, this exhibition aims
to provide a platform for Hong Kong artists to explore their personal takes on
public space. Adding the prefix ‘An’ to the word ‘architecture’ yields the
exhibition's keyword ‘Anarchitecture’, suggesting an ‘anarchic’ slant in the
definition and use of public space. Amidst city living, such as in Hong Kong,
where space is limited and also strictly defined, these artists offer
alternative views of how one can think, feel and do with space in refreshing
ways.
On show are works by 33 established and emerging artists dealing with different
subthemes including personal and collective memory, private and public space,
studio space, voyeurism, destruction, discipline and disorder, graffiti, town
planning, and familial relationship. These are explored through a diversity of
approaches: drawing, collage, photography, sculpture, architectural model,
installation, video, miniature, and book art. The works include: Chihoi’s
drawings in which Central’s IFC (International Financial Centre) comes alive;
Yeung Hok Tak’s comics of graffiti texts behind bus seats; Li Loi-yau’s
super-realistic miniature of a wood workshop; Toser Pak’s group performance of
crossing the street in a horizontal straight line; Clara Cheung’s popup version
of Queen’s Pier; Andrew Guthrie’s multi-video installation peeping into people’s
homes at night, and Frog King’s graffiti expressions.
This exhibition is co-organised by Artist Commune and Studio Bibliothèque, Hong
Kong. It is the third installment in the latter’s Things Artists Do
series.

Time never leaves its trace in Hong Kong
With the economy evolves and things change dramatically fast, we see extinction of countless historical buildings; due to the execution of the economy of scale, ways we used to make our living becomes history. For things that are lucky enough to survive, they have already lost their original touches.
No wonder the term “collective memories” is always around us these days. More and more Hong Kong people now realize that the “local culture” is gradually fading out.
As such, we, a group of miniature maniacs, are producing miniature displays capturing typical past and present scenes of Hong Kong. For example, the soon to be demolished Wan Chai market, the now conserved prawn shop in Wanchai that survives the city re-development project, snap shots of busy streets, the defunct “Silver Dragon Café”, traditional Chinese Herbal Medicine store, Tin - roof House, the close to extinct barber shop on street corners, Chinese embroidery shop, paper product shop; while at the same time, there are also modern boutique-styled Chocolate shop, Cake shop , Speakeasy private kitchen and Sandwiches shop.
We sincerely hope that these displays will bring back your good old memories.
Loi has a few new work pieces( Chinese Furniture, Food ,plants and some more )for showing and sale. Please go to the Online shop.
Fully supported by Standard Chartered Bank (Hong Kong) Limited , the Hong Kong Youth Arts Foundation present the “10 for 10” Integrative Arts Project to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Hand-over.

The Inauguration of the Hong Kong Miniature Club
The
popularity of meticulous clay flower and dollhouse has grown in Hong Kong since
the introduction from Japan. Numerous clay-making centres, institutions or
online courses have been set up for enthusiasts. Recently, this craft has become
a favourite hobby and pastime particularly amongst the young amateurs.
For
the promotion of 1:12 scale miniature development, a brand new Hong Kong based
miniature club is set up and has started to recuit members.
In
the meantime, a quarterly Hong Kong miniature magazine “ Hong Kong Miniature
World “ is in progress for publication.
The
first issue will be released in October, 2003. Further information on the
contents will be announced later.
