"back to the basics" exhibition series to explore arts in ordinary life (with photos)
*************************************************************************************
The series comprises three exhibition projects, namely Kwan's "Travel in the Universe", Knorr's "Artist Book" and Oi! and Videotage's collaboration project "Image Bite". The artists creatively redefine objects and places which exist in our daily life and open up new perspectives in art with the media they are good at.
"Travel in the Universe" showcases a video film and art installations to tell a space adventure story. Produced in Oi!, the film tells of the main character who lives on the moon and learns about his "hometown" earth in his adventure. Through his work, Kwan wishes to look for the possibility of reconstructing history.
"Artist Book" is the Hong Kong stage of Knorr's world art exhibition project. He has made his 12th Artist Book, which was made of household waste and other discarded items, for the Oi! exhibition. The project started in Romania in 2007, and Knorr has tailor-made books for 11 countries previously.
"Image Bite" invited eight eateries in North Point to showcase a series of video artworks, examining the ways of presenting and viewing contemporary art, as well as trying to break the audience's predetermined concepts about public space.
"Travel in the Universe" and "Artist Book" will run until May 20 while "Image Bite" will run until June 18. For details of the exhibitions, please visit www.lcsd.gov.hk/CE/Museum/APO/en_US/web/apo/back_to_the_basics.html, or call 2512 3000.
Oi! is located at 12 Oil Street, North Point.
