Damian Boylan (UK)

Damian Boylan became a scientist, and completed a Master’s degree (MEng) in Aerospace Engineering, long before turning to art. Those early beginnings pervade his work, which is multidisciplinary in range, including Painting, Photography, Videography and Sound. His methodology is more akin to scientific investigation. Boylan experiments with fundamental physical phenomena, and expands upon them, presenting the result to the viewer as art. The intent of his work is about something fundamental and perpetual. In essence, it is an unearthing of the very building blocks of this universe.

Damian Boylan 是個在香港居住了 10年的藝術家。他是個擁有正式數學及科學訓練背景、航空航天工程碩士畢業生。 設計強項範疇包括複合材料，空氣動力學，有限元分析（FEA）和計算機輔助設計（CAD）。他的多媒介藝術創作廣泛地研究物理現象與物理化學的相互作用影響。

BH (HK)

BH is a slashie mutant who is interested in observing various living forms and patterns, contextualising and recasting them with new suggested meanings through contemporary paintings. It is also a monologue process to identify his own form, understand the relationship between his own formation and other forms of relationships, as well as to navigate the impact and value of his existence to society. He believes the best way to characterize himself would be the egg itself.  

BH 是變種斜槓男，跨界身份、雙重生活，喜愛用當代繪畫形式來重塑各種生命形態和模式，賦予新的場景和意義。這同時也是一種自我獨白，讓他識別和贖回自身的形態，以及探尋他的存在對社會的影響和價值。他深信任何事物取之所需用之恰當最終都可以成為畫材。

The Buoy (KR/US)

The Buoy was formed as a collaboration between Jen Yoohyun Lee and Marty Miller. The two independent practitioners wondered, “how could creative practice navigate times of uncertainty?” Rooted in personal histories of transitions, The Buoy aims to be present during times of flux by staying rooted but able to shift with the current of events. The Buoy consciously drifts across the blurred boundaries of visual culture through practicing socially-engaged art & design as well as photography and installation. The mission of The Buoy is to stay lighthearted yet stay engaged enough to look beneath the waves of change. The Buoy currently lives and works in Hong Kong and completing their Doctorates in the Philosophy of Social Design at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University.

The Buoy 由 Jen Yoohyun Lee 和 Marty Miller 的合作創立。兩位獨立藝術家好奇：「創意實踐如何渡過不確定的時期？」紥根於個人的過渡歷史中，The Buoy 希望在時間的波動中繼續紮根時，仍能在事件的洪流中漂動。通過實踐社會互動的藝術和設計，以及攝影和裝置，The Buoy 有意識地跨越模糊的視覺文化邊界。The Buoy 的使命是保持愉快和投入，以直視變化的浪潮。The Buoy現於香港工作及居住，正完成他們在香港理工大學社會設計博士學位。

Natasha Cheung 張㯋曦 (HK)

Natasha Cheung (b. 1998, Sydney, Australia) received her BA in Fine Arts and Visual Studies from the University of Pennsylvania in 2020 and her MA in History of Art and Archaeology from SOAS, University of London in 2021.

Cheung’s research focuses on articulating incompatible assemblages of identity without reifying existing structures that seek to compartmentalize and invalidate contradiction. She sees paradox as a necessity and strives to make this visible and visceral through implementing installation, photography, video, performance, conversation, as well as drawing itself as forms of drawing. In particular, she is interested in the languages and belief structures constructed to describe sight and vision, and making visible how these non-neutral interfaces have contributed to continued colonial imaginaries as well as how to manipulate these languages to render the absurdity of our reality.

張㯋曦於 1998 年出生於澳洲悉尼，2020年畢業於賓夕法尼亞大學（藝術和視覺研究系），2021年畢業於倫敦大學亞非學院（藝術史與建築學系）。

張氏的創作研究主要是視繪畫為媒介與循環無端的哲學，而過程中的目標是美麗地失敗。對話，也是她想與咏詩一起採掘的繪圖工具。她對語言及信仰結構形成的視覺以及思覺感有興趣。這些非中立的界面如何促成了如今依然持續的殖民想像，以及這些結構如何透過操縱語言來渲染現實世界的荒謬。
