(last) intervention

::(last) intervention::

10.10.2009–29.11.2009

Opening reception: 09.10.2009

Artists: Kingsley Ng and Samson Young

(last) intervention presents new works by Kingsley Ng and Samson Young, two of Hong Kong's emerging generation of tech-savvy multi-disciplinarians.

Kingsley Ng is known for his intensely subtle poeticism, while Samson Young's work is typified by schizophrenic juxtaposition of rich darkness and child-like imageries; yet, both share a concern for the deployment of sound in immersive multi-media experiences. The pair takes ‘Now or Never’ as a carte blanche, a call-to-arms to make art like there's no tomorrow, and an opportunity in historicising the Now and the Here.

Focusing on the rapidly-disappearing Kwun Tong as a site of social intervention and creative meditation, the pair will create contrasting pieces that seek to re-define ‘intervention’ as an act of remembering, an act of inscribing time, a way of participating in Being, and a way of negotiating competing claims for justice and acts of witnessing.

《（最後的）介入》

10.10.2009–29.11.2009

開幕酒會：09.10.2009

參展藝術家：伍韶勁、楊嘉輝

《（最後的）介入》展出兩個新進香港跨媒介藝術家伍韶勁及楊嘉輝的最新作品。

伍韶勁最為人熟識的是其極為精細的詩語詞韻，而楊嘉輝的最新作品則再次展示其典型精神分裂式創作風格，將黑暗與稚氣的意象相並列；然而，他們均對多媒體藝術經驗中的聲音調度問題有著獨特的見解。他們以「機不可失，時不再來」為創作動機，以「沒有明天」為創作訓令，希望將「此時此境」寫入歷史。

他們為「拾月當代」所創作的新媒體作品焦點落在觀塘 ── 一個正在迅速消失的社區，一個帶有強烈社會干預意味、卻又能誘發創作與沉思的地方；他們二人創作出對比強烈的作品，試圖將「介入」重新定義為記憶的行為、時間的刻畫、存在的參與方式、和一種跟司法主張和見證行為相抵觸的談判方式。

Urban Palimpsest: a twilight sound -- walk by Samson Young<<<

Date: 17 October 2009

Time: 7am

Samson Young will lead participants through a sonic excursion of Kwun Tong at sunrise. A small group of walkers will be guided through an intimate tour to discover little-known spots in Kwun Tong, while listening to modified environment sounds / electronic compositions streaming from portable listening devices. Urban Palimpsest is a meditative inquiry into the connection between urban spaces and our collective sonic imagination, an exercise in distrusting the ears, and a momentary disruption of sonic judgement. The sound-walk will last for 45 minutes.
