lying across the main direction; running at right angles; in a crosswise direction at right angles to the long axis
— Translation of “transversal” from the French

We are thrilled to bring to you our first Social Studio Showcase in 2022. “Trans/versal”. Trans/versal is an open-ended idea that speaks about our individual experiences connected through a shared community. Suggesting that beyond culture and place there is a common line that allows for shared human experience and our need for community that transcends artificial borders.

No matter where we go geographically, we find hope in our ability to make connections despite our different cultural backgrounds. Beyond intellectual terms there is something intangible. Beautiful and layered with meaning that makes spaces wherever you go seem familiar yet different. Frames and borders easily become blurred by shared experience and the common lines of human experience.

Thirteen of our HART Social Studio Programme artists will present their works, oscillating from paintings, sculptures, and installations, all created throughout the artists’ day-to-day art-marking in HART Haus.

橫越主方向、以直角穿越、在正確的角度與長軸交叉
— 「Transversal」法文的翻譯

我們很高興為帶來2022年第一個HART匯舍展示!《Trans/versal》是一個開放的概念,細訴我們因共享社群而連繫的個人經驗。主題亦暗示了一條超越文化和地域的共享線,容許人文經驗和社群需求跨過本為虛構的界線。

無論我們地理上身處何方,我們都希望能跨越文化背景,互相連繫。有一些在認知以外而無形的事物,美麗而富含意義,使你到訪的空間似曾熟悉卻相異。在共享的經驗和人文中,框架和界線往往變得模糊。

十三位HART匯舍的藝術家將展示他們在HART Haus 日常創作的成果,當中包括繪畫、雕塑、裝置藝術等。
