十四位創作者盼藉「散步漫漫」展覽回應生活,除典型視覺藝術,更注入嗅覺、聽覺體驗,務求讓觀眾放大感官,感受這地廣天高的小小藝術世界。又藉此鼓勵大家多散步,繼而觀察世界各種微小的變化,於生活培養更寬廣的思考角度,說不定小觀察有朝一日會化為大哲理。
二十一世紀便利得使人喘不過氣,虛無縹渺的資訊如不停吼叫的猛獸,意圖吞噬納米型的生活空間。要往街上走走,發現除了沸騰的烏煙瘴氣,彷彿只剩下冰冷。冰藍色外牆的高樓大廈永遠教人不見天日,昂首望天,你可有羨慕過小鳥的無拘無束、逍遙自在?然而,你終究拼命無恙的穿梭於街道中,穿梭於人群中,背後是為口奔馳,抑或要不負所望?面對不請自來的電子資訊,倘若有氣力在閃亮的屏幕上「繼續掃」,不如掙脫現實的枷鎖,以雙腿自主地決定目的地,大不了迷途於世外桃源,倒可以試試直視刺眼的陽光,輕撫木棉樹的棘刺,親吻凋落的果實。
散步漫漫,哪怕是漫無目的。從雙腿開始,試着眼觀四處,耳聽八方,也許有一天,你會發現美好事物一直存在,屹立不倒的小店如是,公路兩旁的綠洲如是,家中的至親摯愛如是,那一直埋藏於心底的志向如是。
是次展覽作品橫跨不同媒介:繪畫、影像、錄像、裝置和盆景。我們特意為「城市」、「自然」、「抽象」區域設計不同的氣味,希望在視覺藝術以外,透過嗅覺豐富觀眾的想像力。歡迎各位領取碟上的氣味試紙,把展覽的藝術氣息帶走。
The routine of daily life in this city seems to be overwhelming, almost like a chore. The modern world bombards us with so much information. While in the midst of this concrete jungle with one mass after another mass of tainted air blowing against our faces, it can feel suffocating.
Yet, you persist to traverse the streets and crowds tirelessly - is it driven by necessity or by expectations?
Despite this, a group of fourteen artists have come together to create an exhibition called "Strolling Along." The exhibition aims to offer sensory experiences beyond just visual arts, encouraging people to explore and observe the world around them more deeply. The artists want us to break free from the constant bombardment of media, go for a walk, and try to gaze directly at the glaring sunlight, gently touch the thorns of the cotton tree, and kiss the fallen fruit.
Whether with a purpose or without, taking a stroll can lead us to discover the simple yet beautiful things in life, like the adorable grocers nearby, the greenery alongside the road, the beloved family and friends, and the aspirations buried deep in your heart, which have always been there.
This exhibition is a true feast for the senses, featuring a diverse range of art forms including painting, photography, videography, installation and bonsai.
We have meticulously crafted unique scents for the “City,” “Nature,” and “Abstract” zones, intending to enrich the audience’s imagination not only visually but also through the sense of smell. Feel free to take the scent strips and immerse yourself in the artistic essence of the exhibition.
