HART Social Studio Showcase “Tyche”
“The Struggle toward the heights is enough to fill a man's heart. One must imagine Sisyphus happy.” - Albert Camus, The Myth of Sisyphus.
The global pandemic reshuffled our daily physical lives which led to a whole new inward discovery of the most fundamental self in the digital age. By demonstrating the omnipresent lingering of a "corporate world", the show wants to amplify the astonishment of the spectator by creating the compositions. The constant disagreement between our conscious and subconscious mind comes into dialogue in art creation, and in the process, a conflict resolved in composition. Public-___ (ex. housing, good, discourse, etc.). What does it mean for something to be public in Hong Kong? There are a lot of memories that do not exist and even the actual realised memory could be not real or just the edit someone chooses to believe. Modern art is getting ridiculous. “Really, my painting feels like an explosion of my hidden fear, including anger and lust these days.” She crossed her heart and rolled the dice. Can you come out on top on a hand dealt by Destiny?

About HART Social Studio Showcase
Held twice a year, the Social Studio Showcase is a unique experience which showcases new or rearranged artworks of local and international artists in the HART Social Studio programme, oscillating from paintings, sculptures, and installations. Many of the presented artworks are collaborative and site-specific, and all are created throughout the artists’ day-to-day art-marking in HART Haus. The programme celebrates the diversity and quality of works, showing how HART Social Studio provides a space and platform for Hong Kong talents to create, experiment and evolve their art practices in a social setting.
HART匯舍展示《機緣》
「向高處奮鬥，足以填滿一個人的心。人們必須想像西西弗斯是快樂的。」–阿爾伯特·加繆《西西弗斯的神話》
全球大流行改變了我們的日常生活，導致了對數字時代最基本的自我的全新內在發現。通過展示無處不在的「企業世界」，該展覽希望通過創作作品來放大觀眾的驚訝。我們的意識和潛意識之間不斷的分歧在藝術創作中進入對話，在這個過程中，衝突在構圖上得到解決。公共–＿（例如住房、商品、話語等）。公共在香港意味著什麼？有很多記憶並不存在，甚至真實的記憶也可能不是真實的，或只是某人選擇相信的蒙太奇。現代藝術越來越荒謬了。「真的，我的畫感覺就像是我隱藏恐懼的爆發，包括近期的憤怒和慾望。」她越過心扉擲出骰子。你能在命運的牌上脫穎而出嗎？
