| Statement: | "90% New'' - a local slang term often used in the second-hand market to describe something or a method that is highly practical, capable of functioning normally even after a period of time, and achieving a considerable level of effectiveness and practical value. In this exhibition, two artists, Ling Sum Yi and Tse Hiu Lam, play the roles of past tenants,transforming the exhibition venue into a common living unit, leaving behind various living traces and further renting the unit to next tenants. Two artists share their own stories in a new venue, trying to merge their homes and recreate them into an entirely new unit. Each item may appear as ordinary household stuff, but they are also telling two artists’ growing process and their thoughts about the individual, family, and society.
Ling Sum Yi (aka 032), born in 1997, grew up in Hong Kong and Korea, graduated from the School of Creative Media at City University of Hong Kong in 2022, majoring in New Media Art. 032 mainly uses graphic design, photography, and new media as mediums. Her inspirations mostly come from observations of society, herself, and surroundings. 032 believes that every idea has its value and meaning to express, and she is the one who turns ideas into creations. 032 is currently pursuing a Master’s degree in Fine Art at the CUHK,while also conducting research on a biodiversity virtual museum at the School of Life Sciences of the CUHK. Tse Hiu Lam received a Bachelor of Arts (Hons) in Visual Arts at HKBU in 2023. She is now studying a Master of Art (Fine Arts) at CUHK. Tse works in various mediums, and is notable for her interactive installations, video and environmental art. Relying on her experience and familiar environment, she focused on community art and the development of Hong Kong art. In her early creation, she used Solo exhibition "SIGH" to reflect on the influence of art and political conflicts, to find the difference between fact and reality, and to face the plight of reality. Solo exhibition “I'm o.k" is the experience of watching others; it is the living conditions of the grassroots and labor, and it explores the special relationship between people and society. The work examines the current social and cultural phenomena humorously to arouse public attention and reflect on the current situation. The recent interest looks at the relationships between "self," "emotion," and "family" and reflects on how art is a cognitive experience. Tse is one of the founders of the Star Fragments art group and community project Morning Hope and is also an independent curator. Tse has participated in various exhibitions such as “Sorry, I want to leave the Archipelago” Group exhibition in 2023, Round and Found Residency Program, 2021/22 General Education in Arts Program for Tertiary Students: A Date with Dogs, “Dialogue: Q&A” Group exhibition … |
| 簡介 : | 「九成實用」—常在二手市場出現的一個俚語，通常形容某件事物或方法的實用性極高，即使經過一段時間後仍能正常運作，達到相當程度的有效性和實用價值。是次展覽中，兩名藝術家寧琛頤和謝曉琳扮演上一手租客、將展覽場地變成一個居住單位，遺留各種「生活過」的痕跡後將單位出租予下位「新租客」。兩名藝術家將自身的故事在展覽空間交流，將各自的家合而為一並重組成一個全新單位。每件物品看似普通家居用品，實際上蘊藏著她們各自的成長過程；對個體、家庭及社會的想法。
寧琛頤，又名032，生於1997，2022年畢業於香港城市大學創意媒體學院，主修新媒體藝術。寧氏作品主要以平面設計、攝影和新媒體為媒介。創作靈感大多來自社會、自身及周遭的觀察；寧氏相信，每個想法都有其表達的價值和意義，而她正是將那些想法變為藝術創作的人。寧氏現於香港中文大學攻讀藝術文學碩士、並同時於中文大學生命科學學院進行有關生物多樣性的虛擬博物館研究工作。 |
