Wu Jiaru’'s latest project “A Brief Digression" is exhibited in an industrial space, exploring the encounters of objects in movement through a series of installations. It reconsiders the potential social significance of the act of "mobility" itself. Beyond the value of a carefully wrapped object as a commodity, can its journey create new social value? "Package" often encapsulates intimate stories that drift from one end of the ocean to an unknown destination, with no promise of arrival. These objects act as primal carriers of information and hope, reaching unattainable places and intertwining political and personal narratives. Through a series of improvisational approaches, the artist creates site-specific works about the mobility and protection of social objects. The audience, viewing from the god's perspective, can engage with the object's narrative and create new stories for it.

吳佳儒最新項目「 不達」於工業空間展出，透過一系列的裝置探索物件在流動中的遭遇，重新思考物件「流動」這一行動本身可能存在的社會意義，一件悉心包裹的物件，除了其作為商品的價值，它的流動過程是否可以產生新的社會價值？「包裹」往往裝載著種種私密的故事，從海洋的一端漂流到未知的另一端，卻無法承諾抵達；它們被作為信息與希望的原始載體，抵達不可抵達之處，交織著政治與私人的敘事。藝術家透過一系列即興創作的方式為觀眾打造一個關於社會物件的裝載和流動的場域特定作品，觀眾可以從上帝視角進入該物件的敘事並嘗試為它創造新的故事。

PLM’s primary goal is to explore different dimensions of communication and inquire into how understandings are reached. We use art as a communicative tool in order to foster a sense of commonality and intimacy despite diversity, and, in doing so, to overcome language barriers, particularly those between the Hearing and Deaf worlds, while raising awareness about Hong Kong Sign Language, Deaf culture, and linguistic identities. We work with a range of art media, e.g., performance, installation, painting, drawing, and video.

Presented as part of the Henderson Arts @ Central programme, which runs through March 2024, the exhibition is supported by Women in Lighting and showcases a collective of eight multidisciplinary women artists from diverse cultures, who have each forged visionary paths in their use of light as an artistic medium. As a prelude to the highly anticipated opening of The Henderson building in Fall 2024 the exhibition embraces the explosive, interplay of fluid form and light characteristic of Zaha Hadid’s artwork and space design, and found at the heart of ZHA’s design for The Henderson. Featuring innovative visual art, sculptures, moving image works, and digital installations by internationally celebrated and emerging light artists, the exhibition takes as its starting point ZHA’s inspirational design for The Henderson and the legacy of Hadid’s visionary interdisciplinary practice, her challenge to conventional perceptions, and her multi-sensory exploration of light and spatial connectivity. Collectively the works inspire inclusion and push boundaries for women creatives across disciplines, transforming an empowering legacy into a vision for the future.

作為The Henderson Arts @ Central計劃的一部分，將持續展出至 2024 年 3 月。 展覽獲Women in Lighting鼎力支持，呈現了八位來自不同文化背景的跨學科女性藝術家的作品，她們在將光作為藝術媒介的過程中各自開闢了富有遠見的道路。萬眾期待的The Henderson將於2024 年秋季開幕，作為揭幕前奏，本展覽體現了哈迪德藝術作品和空間設計中，流體形態和光線特性之間激烈的相互作用，這亦是扎哈．哈迪德設計The Henderson的核心所在。展出一眾國際知名及新銳燈光藝術家的嶄新視覺藝術、雕塑、動態影像作品及數碼裝置，展覽始於哈迪德為The Henderson所作的啟發性設計，以及哈迪德富前瞻性的跨學科實踐、對傳統觀念的挑戰、對光線和空間連結性的多感官探索所留下的遺產。 這些作品激發了跨學科女性創作者的包容性，並推動了她們的創作，將充滿力量的遺產轉化為對未來的憧憬。

Co-presented by WMA and HART, the ‘Book Lab’ is a new initiative focused on artists’ books. Spotlighting design thinking, materiality, printing and reading experiences, 'Book Lab' intends to stretch established sequencing-driven models for generating books, to the process of conceptualisation and format design. ‘Book Lab’ includes two full-day seminars and a five-day book making workshop. A group of local and international designers, publishers, and book makers will demonstrate how books transform from paper that simply carries knowledge to a collection of artists’ thoughts and actions. A book can be used as a contemporary creative medium not only for reading but also for looking at, touching, and even experiencing.

由WMA 與 HART 聯合籌劃的「書籍實驗所」是一個以藝術家書籍為核心的全新計劃。計劃以設計思維、物料材質、印刷製作以及閱讀經驗為主導，突破傳統以敍事結構來編制書籍的模式。整個計劃包括兩場專題討論會，以及一個為期五日的書籍製作工作坊。一眾本地與海外的設計師、出版社、書籍製作者將透過他們的分享，展示書籍如何由單純承載知識的紙本，轉化成一種結合藝術家的想法和行為，可以不單被閱讀，而是被凝視、觸碰、甚至經驗的一種當代創作媒介。

During the celebration of French May Arts Fest 2023, curated by HART artist-in-residence Merryn Trevethan, “Luminaria” is Gisèle Tchitchiama’s exhibition that frames a quest for illumination through encounters with light, fragility and the ephemeral. For Gisèle, her multiple identities - French, African, woman, wife, mother, daughter - are woven into her interrogations. Presence and absence are at the heart of her ongoing artistic conversation which takes the audience on a journey into inner and outer landscapes.

The exhibition was inspired by the colour, poetry and delicacy of an unexpected moment on a journey from France to Dover, England last summer, Gisèle captured in a blurry landscape photo. This image became the starting point for an artistic journey that incorporates many creative and meaningful collaborations.
