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。

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 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。

Art Hur is a queer, multilingual, multidisciplinary artist who creates new visual languages using abstract and minimal phenomena. His paintings’ connection to Hong Kong, through the sustainable medium of cardboard, is less abstract. Cardboard in Hong Kong is known as 紙皮 jí pèih, literally “paper skin.” Hur harvests freshly discarded paper skins to paint with, cardboard of all shapes and sizes, shed by the metropolis as it digests a flow of endless deliveries to stay alive. In this way, Hur’s work repurposes overlooked objects into meaningful visual language. Hur’s poems and prose follow a similar trajectory: overlooked moments are documented, amassed and, through faint narrative lines, distilled with meaning.

Art Hur 是一位酷兒、多語言、跨界別藝術家。他透過抽象和極簡現象構造新的視覺語言。 通過硬紙皮這一可持續媒介，令他的畫作與香港的聯繫不那麼抽象。 紙皮，意為「紙的皮膚」。 Hur 將剛被丟棄的紙皮蒐集來作畫，形狀和大小各異的紙皮在大都市依賴存活、無休止的貨物運輸過程中被遺棄。通過這種創作方式，Hur 的作品為被忽視的物件重新賦予有意義的視覺語言。Hur 的詩歌和散文創作遵循類似的軌跡：記錄、積累被忽視的時刻，並通過隱約的敘事提煉出深刻的意義。

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。

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.

Vickie Li’s works often portray the dualism at play between preserving innocence and the desire for power. Her forms metaphorically embed a feeling to convey a visual state of mind.

Gisèle Tchitchiamais a French painter and collage artist.

Gisèle Tchitchiama is investigating the allure of freedom in her pictorial and abstract universe, and gives it form by examining the relationship between colour and brush stroke. Tchitchiama continually tries to clarify the transcendence of identity, an elegant fluidity in which a new sense of peace and gentleness is created.

A French artist, Tchitchiama concentrates on employing a powerfully evocative dreamscape, using distinctive strokes of paint that are like shadows of both force and lightness, creating a poetry between her profound use of colours, the material used and the act of creating. Tchitchiama Invites us to take a moment to enter our personal cosmos of light and intimacy with oneself, inspiring those who engage with her work, to rediscover the beauty of humanity within oneself. 

She has held many solo exhibitions and group exhibitions, published two titles featuring her collage and painting works, was commissioned an artwork for the cover of the hong kong Chef recipes book, Clara’s dream. Co-curated Transversal exhibition 2022.

Nicholas Wong is the author of Crevasse (Kaya Press, 2015), the winner of the Lambda Literary Award for Gay Poetry, and Besiege Me (Noemi Press, 2021). He is also the recipient of the Australian Book Review’s Peter Porter Poetry Prize. His has contributed writings to projects by the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum and Manchester International Festival. He currently translates poetry by contemporary Taiwanese poet Sun Tzu-Ping. 

Nicholas has a background in English poetry writing, but the dimension of the page starts to bore him. He attempts to explore ways to creatively "translate" his own works into visual mediums. His visual outputs to be made during his time at HART Haus may be text-based, text-integrated, or text-induced, with an emphasis on the dynamics between imagery and texture, tonality and medium.

黃裕邦，本地詩人，詩集包括《Besiege Me》（英文，2021），《天裂》（中文，2018）及贏得美國 Lambda Literary Awards 的《Crevasse》（英文，2015〉。

雖然從英文詩詞寫作出身，但頁面的維度逐漸令他感到乏味。他因而嘗試尋找其他表達自我的方式——把詩作「翻譯」為視覺元素。他在 HART Haus 所作的視覺輸出中，有是基於文本的，有些是與文本相融，也有些是文本所催生的。不論是哪種輸出，他都強調著圖像紋理、色調和媒介之間的互動。
