About the Artists 藝術家簡介
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。
“Poetics of Preservation” was supported [in part] by a grant from the U.S. Consulate General Hong Kong and Macau.
