Max Cheng 鄭志堅 (HK)
/
Max Cheng is a Visual Art graduate of the Hong Kong Baptist University. He creates art with the sense of smell, mostly using installation and mixed media as the medium. Cheng emphasizes on the value of object itself and uncovers creativities in daily life. He established okapi studio after graduation and collaborates with charities and different organisations to produce scent products, hold incense-making workshops, and organise local farm docent tours and exhibitions; through various activities, Max aims to promote the many faces of “incense culture” and the idea of “closing the loop” by making incense from natural ingredients and utilising incense ash as fertiliser.
Max is currently collaborating with HART on designing and executing HUMBLE HART, HART’s community and art program that extends interactions and communications to selected neighbourhoods, encourages participants from different backgrounds to engage in arts in new ways and increase social impact and enhance social inclusion.
鄭志堅畢業於香港浸會大學視覺藝術系。他以香味進行創作，主要運用裝置和混合媒介。鄭氏強調物件自身價值，在生活中發掘創意。畢業後他創立了okapi studio，與不同慈善機構和組織合作創作香味產品、舉行製香工作坊、展覽以及本地農地導賞。透過不同活動，鄭氏希望藉此宣揚香味文化的不同面向和持續發展。
鄭氏現與 HART 團隊一起策劃及執行 HART 的社區藝術項目 — HUMBLE HART。此項目透過互動和交流空間延伸至不同社區，鼓勵不同人士以嶄新的手法接觸和重新認識藝術，促進社會效益及共融。
