Other Sides of Evidence | 確據的其他面向

Other Sides of Evidence @ Osage Hong Kong
Feb 6-25, 2017; Opening Reception: Feb 9 (Thurs), 7-9pm

Generally we believe that facts and evidence help establish the ‘what-has-been’, yet they are not accountable for a truth. The burdens of facts and evidence are in fact multifaceted. In recent years, ‘what is real’ or ‘what is the truth’ has become a popular enquiry, covering topics ranging from real universal suffrage, real childhood, mockumentary, reality TV, to realities and truths presented by the algorithm behind social media and search engine, and lately, Oxford Dictionaries’ word of the year 2016, ‘post-truth’. If we see ‘evidence’ as data just obtained, then it is worth exploring what else they could answer besides a truth. While people demand the truth about things and appreciate realness in life, as creative agents we artists also explore aesthetic truths. We research on our subjects and then make use of the findings to create. “Other Sides of Evidence” will present different responses from artists Swing Lam, Eric Tsang, Solomon Yu and the art group Archive of the People to these parallel roles – bearing responsibility for inquiring and observing reality and the truth, yet exercising our license to make believe and create.

This exhibition is supported by Hong Kong Arts Development Council and the venue is generously sponsored by Osage Art Foundation.


About the Artists

Swing Lam (CUHK MA Multicultural Studies 2010) is an urban flâneur and an enthusiast of Hong Kong films. Lam will re-visit and narrate a chapter of his love life, up close and personal. Taking up the last job of his ex-girlfriend, he paints a story of an artist trying to trace the year his ex has had, from the work desk she has left behind to the scribbles on her paperwork.

Eric Tsang (CUHK MA Fine Arts 2014) works in journalism and has been obsessed for years with snapshots of traffic incidents constantly shared on social media by the public. While going through his downloaded collection of these images on his phone, he begins to wonder if there is something that links them to his private life.

Solomon Yu (CUHK MA Fine Arts 2011) is interested in the operation of imagery. Combing through footages of old TV news reports, he is fascinated by different types of spatial illusion constructed to assist news presentation. He attempts to deconstruct the spatial arrangement as seen on screen and explores the visual elements in the newsroom studio.

Archive of the People is a research and art group that applies different creative practices to address the governance on records, legislation of Archives Law and their related politics. In this exhibition, five members of the group – Lee Kai-chung (Founder of Archive of the People), Grace Choi Tsui-yin (CityU School of Creative Media MFA 2016), Elaine Lin (Collection Manager, Asia Art Archive), Dorothy Wong Ka-chung (CityU School of Creative Media MFA 20162016) and Wu Jiaru (CityU School of Creative Media MFA 2017) – will adopt various approaches to respond to the operations and underlying systems of public auctions, currently organised by the Government Logistics Department every two weeks.

《確據的其他面向》@ 奧沙香港
2017年2月6日至25日，開幕酒會：2月9日 (四)，7 ‒ 9pm

我們一般認為可以透過事實和證據確定曾經發生了的事，但它們其實是有其他面向的，並且不須對真相負責。近年公眾熱烈討論什麼是「真確」、哪些是「真相」，涉及的範疇廣泛，從真普選真童年、偽紀錄片真人秀，到社交媒體和搜索器經運算後呈現的現實和真相，及至2016年牛津字典年度詞彙「後真相」等。所謂「確據」其實只是一些可獲取的資訊數據，除有助指向一種真相，它們的其他面向可能更值得我們思考探索。人們探求事物的真相，欣賞和享受真確的生活。而作為富有創造力的能動者，藝術家也探求美學中的真實。同樣以「定立對象、收集資料、進行研究」作為起點，我們透過創作把當中發現的東西轉化。《確據的其他面向》將展示藝術家林兆榮、曾梓洋、余廸文及藝術單位人人檔案，探索和觀察現實確據的同時，行使藝術家的特權進行多樣的創作，探索真確與創作之間的微妙關係。

是次展覽獲香港藝術發展局資助，並獲奧沙藝術基金會慷慨贊助展覽場地。


有關藝術家

林兆榮（中大文化研究文學碩士 2010）是一位城市漫遊者，也是個港產片迷。他將會重訪自己的一段愛情故事，描繪某年他成為前度女友的工作接班人，在同一個崗位，翻閱同一疊文件，親身感受重構當日的她。

曾梓洋（中大藝術文學碩士 2014）在傳媒工作，近年對社交媒體道路消息群組內，大量公眾上載的事故圖片極之著迷。他在自己手機裡翻看這堆儲存下來的圖片時，漸漸察覺到這些公共與自己私人的現實出現了某種連結。

余廸文（中大藝術文學碩士 2011）一直對製造影像的操作抱有好奇。重看一大堆舊年電視新聞節目時，他特別被新聞直播室的空間營造安排吸引，嘗試拆閱視屏中所見的空間並置與報導新聞所採用的視覺元素。

人人檔案是一個對記錄治理、檔案立法和相關政治進行研究和各類藝術回應的單位。針對目前由政府物流部每兩週組織一次的公開拍賣活動，五名人人檔案成員：李繼忠（人人檔案創辦人）、蔡翠茵（城大創意媒體藝術碩士 2016）、林亦凌（亞洲藝術文獻庫館藏經理）、黃加頌（城大創意媒體藝術碩士 2016）和吳佳儒（城大創意媒體藝術碩士 2017），將會就是次展覽分別創作，回應其運作和背後涉及的系統。

About "Poet, Dancer, And Another One"

The Poet,
"In The Middle Of Nowhere.
We talked about the meaning of "Island 島 " In autumn in Zurich, you said when there is still bird flying above the mountain, there is island. In summer in Kanazawa, you said when migrating birds fly from the south to the north, the place where they stop in middle of the ocean, there is island.

The Dancer
I'm sailing in the fog
No sail
I’m wandering under the moon
No anchor
No destination
From here, the road disappears
Night disappear from here
Not beacons
No clear boundaries
Only spray prayers of cliffs
Leaving dreary traces of years
And a little dignified memorial

The Another One (Litter Bug)
The Litter sails across the sea, the Bug drifts with the current.
I always perspire and feel dizzy. I often fear of fainting. I have a terror of thunderstorms, ghosts, burglars, snakes! I do not dare to expect anything of others or to set high goals for myself. I do not dare to approach people who seem superior to me in any way; I do not dare to express an opinion even thought I may have a real contribution to make; I do not dare to exercise creative abilities even when I have them; I do not dare to make myself attractive, to try to impress, to seek a better position… I am a shadow without weight and substance.

關於舞者、詩人、垃圾蟲

詩人：
「渡之海。
我跟你們談論著「島」的意義。入秋在蘇黎世的時候你們說只要有一只鳥兒飛過的山就是島；第二次炎夏在金沢市的海邊，你又說，候鳥從南到北一直飛一直飛，在渡過廣闊海中心停下來休息的彼岸就是島。」

舞者：
「我在霧海中航行沒有帆只是在月下漂泊著沒有錨沒有目的地路從這裡消失夜從這裡消失沒有標識沒有清晰的界限只有浪花祝禱的峭崖留下歲月那沉悶的痕跡和一點點威嚴的紀念地平線傾斜了搖晃著，翻轉過來帶著微濕的氣息這種氣息是屬於岸，屬於雨的斜線昨天或是明天的太陽如今卻在這裡寫下了不確定的未來。」

垃圾蟲：
「漂洋過海的垃圾，隨波逐流的蟲。我時常出汗，頭暈，總感覺下一秒就要昏過去了。雷電、鬼魂、盜賊、蛇這些東西讓我感到害怕！我對他人抱有敵意，我對他人無所期望、無所苛求。我不與優於我的人交往，我不表達自己的意見，即使我很有見地；我不敢發揮創造性才能，即使我有這樣的能力；我不使自己有吸引力、感染力，我無所進取……我是一團空虚的影子，不是實體。」

The Separated Rooms ｜ 隔壁

Date: Saturday 25 June 2016
Time: First session 7:00 – 7:40 pm | Second session 8:00 – 8:40 pm

The Separated Rooms sheds light on the unique listening experience and primary medium of such transmission, the space. Five artists approach sound with manifested and nuanced perspectives. By responding to the infrastructure of an ordinary yet uncanny site, the artists create a momentary situation that visualizes inaudible sound - Hissing and roaring, soft and loud, slow and fast, rational yet surrealistic, intimate but irritating, biological and psychological… While a contemplative image is multi-layered, and juxtaposed with the urbanscape, sound resonates and ricochets within a confined everyday life setting, and it finally dissolved into the space .

The diversity of works reflects some phenomenon in Hong Kong - nerve-racking insomnia caused by over sensitivity, cyclical pitch hitting our hearing components, mental and emotional attachment to the love ones, etc. Aural space can hardly be shared, and so does individual listening experience. We are human after all, more or less we are mediated and habituated to certain mode of listening that is shaped by the society. Through a series of site-specific installation and improvisation, five artists aim to promote the mode of active listening, which heightens the relationship between interior and exterior space of participants.

The exhibition/event is curated by LEE Kai Chung. Five artists are CHOI Tsui Yin Grace, LEE Kai Chung, WONG Ka Chung Dorothy, WU Jiaru and ZHAO Qian Echo.

Participants are expected to contribute a token of HKD30 or above upon arrival. In addition, leaving in the middle of the performative event is not recommended.

RSVP is necessary. Please email 1) your name, 2) number of participants and 3) attending session (First session 7:00 – 7:40 pm | Second session 8:00 – 8:40 pm) to archiveofthepeople@gmail.com. Details of the exhibition venue will be further informed in the conformation email.

時間：第一節：晚上7:00 – 7:40 ｜第二節晚上 8:00 – 8:40
地點： 電郵確認

<隔壁> 探討獨特的聆聽經驗和聲音傳播的基本媒介──空間。五位藝術家採取和而不同的角度去開拓聲音的可塑性。在一個看似平常但牆壁發出斷續沈吟的展覽場地，藝術家們透過製造具時間性的獨特情境，去呈現微以幾希的迴響 ──嘶喊與低叱 、輕柔與裂帛、理性而超現實、親密但惹人生厭、生理和心理、忽高又低⋯⋯在一系列發人深醒的意像重疊與並列於香港城市脈絡裡，聲音於那日常生活陳設中產生迴響，最近滲入了無形的空間裡。

展覽中作品的多樣性反映香港人的普遍現像──夜夜惱人的失眠皆因過份敏感、喋喋不休的音頻重擊聽覺神經、逝去感情如何留得住等等。各感觀中，聽覺經驗從來都是個人的且較難轉化作其他語言，相比下欣賞聲音的能力和傾向就被 社會因循的約定俗成所影響，而產生一些共同的領聽習慣。 藝術家們希望透過一系列的裝置和聲音作品，去推廣一種主動的領聽模式，進而加深參與者內在跟外在空間的連繫。

是次展覽由李繼忠策劃。五位藝術家分別是蔡翠茵、李繼忠、黃加頌、吳佳儒和趙倩。

展覽將會收取30元以作營運經費。另外，參加者不可在表演中途離開。

參加者請發電郵到archiveofthepeople@gmail.com，電郵內容請包括1）參加者名字，2) 參加者人數，3)參加時段（第一節：晚上7:00 – 7:40 ｜第二節晚上 8:00 – 8:40）。確認電郵中將會列明展覽地點。

The Shape of Time | Dorothy Wong Solo Show

時間的輪廓  |  黃加頌個展

“The Shape of Time” is the debut solo exhibition by local emerging photographer Dorothy Wong, as well as the seventh edition of Lumenvisum’s “New Light – Young Talented Photographer Series”

“Breaking free from perspective, layers of images show frames within frames. Each picture steps from one space to another, flows from landscape to image, advances to moving image, pushes further into painting, and finally lands on the pure spatiality. The exhibition is not only about the practice of viewing layered images progressively, but also an exercise to re-evaluate how time moves in a video. ”

The work captures a glimpse of reality and dissolves images into parts. Through the reconstruction process, it points to the creative imagination that does not exist in the real world. The exhibition features Wong’s photography series “Border” and her experimental video “On The Border, From The Distance”. Detached from the norm of seeing images, both works delve into the ambiguity of images, and the perception of time and space.

About the Artist
Dorothy Wong received her Bachelor of Arts degree in Fine Arts from The Chinese University of Hong Kong before pursuing her Master of Fine Arts degree at the School of Creative Media, The City University of Hong Kong. Currently working on her graduation thesis, her major research interests are photography and inter-media experiments between moving image and still image.

「時間的輪廓」是本地青年攝影藝術家黃加頌之首次個人展，亦是光影作坊第七屆舉辦「New Light – 青年攝影創作系列」。

「畫面框中有框，框中有框，退掉透視法的羈絆，踩著一個空間到另一種空間，從景到影像；再到錄像、畫及純空間性。在攝影和錄像兩者之間，靜態攝影可以是律動的，而流動影像卻可以是靜止的。是次展覽是一個關於疊進的看的練習，也是關於重新思考錄像中時間流動方式的練習。」

以旅程中港口的一系列影像作為起點，黃氏把現實的瞬間的一張張獨立影像，以分解、合併和重組的方式重新演繹出不曾存在於真實世界的想像空間。是次展覽展出的攝影作品系列《邊境》及實驗錄像作品《邊境，近境》，兩者分別脫離了平常觀看影像的方式，探索影像的曖昧性，並嘗試發掘感知時間、空間的可能性。

藝術家簡介
黃加頌於香港城市大學創意媒體學院修讀藝術創作碩士前，已獲取香港中文大學藝術學士，目前正在撰寫畢業論文，主要研究領域是攝影以及動態與靜態圖像之間的跨媒體實驗。

展覽日期 27.5 – 30.6.2016

藝術家講座 11.06.2015 (六 Sat) 3 – 4:30 pm

工作坊 | 時間的輪廓─交換重組記憶

照片或影像大都有某種記錄或敘事功能，當我們將不必要的都減去再重疊，會產生怎樣的影像？新的影像又有何意義？工作坊中各人會互相分享並交換影像， 然後透過分割、排例和拼貼，將影像重新組合，賦予影像另一個說話的方式。每位參加者需先預備三至四張以空間或風景為主、只有一個人或靜物的相片。

感頻共振：第五屆大型公共媒體藝術展 ｜ 教育活動

Talk: "New media art: connecting technology and the society
講座：「新媒體藝術：科技與社會的結合」

Content 講座內容
New media art is often associated with interactive installations where the audience has the illusion to be able to influence the artwork. In fact, the freedom happens only within a strict framework designed by the artist. Which kind of connections do the technology and media art favour? What could be their impact on the society? With the increase of media art intervention into the urban context, would there be any room for social awareness and education? Artists Chung Ka Hei, Jason Lam Chi Fai, Cédric Maridet, Kingsley Ng and Dorothy Wong will share their opinions on these new challenges.

新媒體藝術往往使人聯想起充滿互動元素的藝術裝置，可是這些看似無限制的「互動」其實早由藝術家預先設定。藝術家鐘迦希、林志輝、Cédric Maridet、伍韶勁及黃加頌將就科技，藝術與社會結合的疑難分享他們的創作經驗。

Talking to a person you meet for the first and only time.
I will not make myself a picture of you.
Don’t make yourself a picture of me.
In love with a constant mode of transgression.
Let us think of authorship as something fluid,
not something that can be allocated to one single person.
Burn our works and leave by the light of the fire.
Our nerves are triggered by the flickering shadows - uncontainable, unrecognisable.
你說一把火燒掉自己的作品，
但不只是你，
還有光和身後被距離拉得瘦瘦長長的影子。
你我的身影互相映照著，再也分不清。
是現實也許是幻象，是錄像也許是妄想，
讓這些妄想擴展這個世界的想像。
一場盛宴將要開始，或會有天使降下來細察。
影像會告訴你它的故事，只要你可以把它們連結起來。

INTRODUCING A GROUP OF YOUNG VIDEO ARTISTS

Meret BHEND / Ryan CHAN 陳小龍 / Anna CHIM 詹可瑩 / DING Cheuk-laam 丁卓藍 / IP Sze-sze 葉詩詩/ QIAO Qing 喬青 / Gloria SHUM 岑泳霈 / Don TSANG 曾旭熙 / Dorothy WONG 黃加頌 / Winnie YAN 忻慧妍 / YANG Hsinyi 楊心苡 / YIP Hei 葉曦 //

Developed and curated by Linda LAI 黎肖嫻 [part of her “Where Else to Look?” project]

“Concrete video,” a term Stephane Audeguy used to describe the video art of Robert Cahen, refers to the latter’s training in the musique concrête tradition of Pierre Schaeffer, which evolved into a position on videography. Concrete videos, by extension of “musique concrête,” liberate visual and aural matter from strict mimesis of the real. In preserving abstraction as much as the figurative power of sights and sounds, a work is best understood as a “machine” systematically exploring the allowances of “pictorial effects.”

In the series “Concrete Videos,” sound and image are potential raw material for composition, pointing to worlds-to-be, rooted in the fragments of the real. All video works highlight the phenomenology of the moving image as two parallel courses of “description.” On the one hand, the image discourse, composed by the artist deploying the descriptive power of the surfaces of image fragments, unfolds in ways that commands new modes of attentiveness. On the other hand, viewers journey along the thick descriptive moment-to-moment unfolding image flow to re-learn how to see, how to listen, and how to pay attention.

Tutu and Ida in Hong Kong

Video installation walk by Ida Sons & Li „Tutu“ Chaoran

Tutu and Ida, a team of Chinese and German investigators invite the audience to follow their journeys exploring the unexpected in the city of Hong Kong not knowing where everything will end up.

Bloom Room

Performative Installation by Ana Banana, Cimon Finix, Bruce Lee U

Three people in a room. Painting, composing, filming. Neck-deep.
Trying to make it bloom. Boom.

How to Disappear (Completely)

Video installation by Mayumi Arai & Nina Willimann

A series of practices around the process of disappearing – physically or metaphorically, temporarily and at least partially

In Chinese tradition, matters concerning the psyche and attainment of deeper insight are often approached via the body, not via the cognitive reflection. The basic idea of the Chinese martial art T’ai chi ch’uan (or Tai Chi) is linked to the philosophical principle that, if one uses hardness to resist violent force, then both sides are certainly to be injured. Instead, students are taught not to directly fight or resist an incoming force, but to meet it in softness and follow its motion while remaining in physical contact until the incoming force of attack exhausts itself or can be redirected.

Being both strangers in Hong Kong and Tai Chi beginners, we take this basic idea as our base for the development of a series of practices in order of trying to integrate, to become part of, to gradually disappear in a foreign environment.

absense

Site specific multimedia performance by Liane Mah, Philipp Spillmann, Ma Haijiao, Tobias Fandel

“absense” invites you to experience a very unusual spatial performance situation. How do your physical feeling and your thoughts affect your perception of space, movements, sounds and not least images and words? What can you see, what can you hear and how do you deal with it? Does your cognition leads you to new aesthetical experiences by reflecting the absence?
