Breathe Life Arts Exhibition

Breathe Life Arts Exhibition

Introduction

「生息藝術展」- 2013
Date:
05 Jul 2013 - 29 Jul 2013
Breathe Life Arts Exhibition was initiated by Hong Kong artist Susan Yeung. Together with many of the city’s renowned artists, Its mission is to arouse public awareness of environmental issues and protection via appreciation of the arts. The group has boldly propelled its ardent idealism into action. Through a diverse range of mediums such as oil paintings, short films, photography, sketching and music, artists from Hong Kong share their perception of society and its surroundings, expressing their thoughts and concerns about the environment and its future. The first Breathe Life Arts Exhibition debuted in one of the most prestigious museums in Beijing, Today’s Art Museum, in September 2011, and was well received with significant media coverage and good public attendance. It was such a phenomenal success that a second show was encored at the Siemens Art Space at 798, Beijing the following month in October, 2011. In March 2012, Breathe Life Arts Exhibition – Shanghai had the privilege to be part of WWF’s annual "Earth Hour" event that was dedicated to promote energy conservation.

The Breathe Life group sowed their first seed in Beijing, and the hope is for that seed to grow into a strong and sturdy refuge for environmental awareness, and to continue expanding as the group exhibits in different cities around the world. This summer, for the first time on home turf, “Breathe Life Arts Exhibition 2013” will be held atArtisTree from 5-29 July 2013. All the participating artists are locally acclaimed and have a strong tie with Hong Kong. The impressive team includes artist and co-curator Susan Yeung, visual artist and co-curator Ada Chan, well-known director Dante Lam Chiu Yin, world renowned jewelry designer Dickson Yewn, distinguished musician Peter Kam, celebrated lyricist Chen Shao Qi, acclaimed photographer Ringo Tang and environmental photographer Derek Que. By showcasing their proudest pieces, they wish to communicate and explore the meaning of Life with the audience.

To express their adoration for this unique city, they are honored to have 
Ocean Park Conservation Foundation Hong Kong as the sole Beneficiary Organization for this event.

Events: Green Art over Plastic Disaster (膠粒再生藝術展) (15th-16th Dec 2012)

Introduction

膠粒再生藝術展
Date:
15 Dec 2012 ,16 Dec 2012
香港2012年十號風球後,驚現聚丙烯膠粒污染港海,我們一班藝術大朋友小朋友也身體力行「執膠粒」,卻發覺竟是送去堆填區。大部份義工不知回收渠道,於是我們提供多一個選擇,交給我們「藝術再造」。

以「再生藝術」理念創作,作品以膠粒為主角,而基底及配件使用棄置膠物及二手物料;除了藝術品展示,亦有環保專題探討,望能引發大家對現世代生活的省思。身為覺醒新一代,我們要好好動用藝術及設計思維去修復世界。

創作媒體多樣也是本展作品的特色,由漫畫、塑膠彩畫、青版/藍印技術、手工黏貼膠粒雕塑到概念攝影等等,背後更承載著藝術家對現世的感觸和祝願。有的呈現以植物、有的是食物、動物、意識上......十數作品以同一理念,展示著不同角度的維緻的警醒。


【 「再生藝術」理念 】
能量不滅,只有轉化。萬物不會消失,粒子以不同狀態組合重生。藝術家能拋開對事物的既有認知,本質是沒有「垃圾」的概念。「再生藝術」由單純的二手物料再 運 用,到高呼反對過度主義文化。反思在狂熱消費浪潮中人們濫棄的產品,竟被標籤成「廢料」;藝術再造重新賦予那些物資的使用價值。


【 香港設計聯會 Hong Kong Design Community 】
香港設計聯會為一非牟利志願團體,致力推動香港設計的整體
發展。我們相信「設計不單是一種生產服務的工作,它也是一
種思維方式與生活態度」。
除了著重提升業界的專業水平外,我們亦致力於推廣與設計有
關的普及教育,從不同範疇研究設計,以發揮其最大效用。
