慾望/消失 馮文耀 攝影作品展
精藝軒畫廊 香港 中環 嘉咸街35號 地舖
2008年1月2日至25日
2008年1月2日 (星期三)下午6時至8時 藝術家將出席開幕酒會
把鼓勵即用即廢的消費主義之照象,與保育理念疾呼的集體回憶圖象併在同場展現, 可不是一件易辦的構思,馮文耀正嘗試用他的攝影作品做這個觀念實驗。
香港是一個充滿對比、混淆及矛盾的地方,馮觀念地把這兩類情景背靠背地展現出來。
慾望/消失﹣馮文耀作品展 將在二OO八年一月二日至廿五日在精藝軒空間展出。
馮文耀一九九O年畢業於法國巴黎國立高等美術學院,並曾獲香港藝術發展局的藝術家駐場計劃,於澳洲及美國佛蒙特的駐場計劃;自九O年代返回香港後即全職投入創作。
這次作品展將展出的“消失”及“慾望”系列,在“消失”作品中,馮用上了“天星碼頭的鐘樓”、“皇后碼頭”、曾一度是藝術家“公社”的油街政府倉庫與曾提供居所予數十萬香港居民的老型徒置區的照片,作為他觀念作品;相比下,觸及消費主義熱浪的“慾望”系列則較為色彩繽紛,馮文耀把世界最大的三個購物商場成為取照對象,這三個商場的名字是:中環、旺角與銅鑼灣。
馮於二OO五年四月亦曾在精藝軒辦過“感官”攝影展。

Jolans Fung – Desire / Disappearance
Art Beatus Exhibition Space
35-39 Graham Street, Ground Floor, Central, Hong Kong ( Near Hollywood Road and Lyndhurst Terrace )
Exhibition Duration: January 2 to 25, 2008
Artist will attend the opening ceremony from 6:00 to 8:00pm on January 2, 2008 (Wednesday)
Can you place the desires of consumerism, that encourage the fast disposal of the goods and services of our everyday life, side by side with the battle cries of collective memories, that strive to preserve some commonly known objects which have been with us for a while? Jolans Fung attempts to play out these notions with his conceptual photography.
To exemplify that Hong Kong is a place filled with contrasts, confusions and contradictions, Fung explores these bemused feelings in his Desire/Disappearance exhibition at Art Beatus Gallery starting January 2 to 25, 2008.
Hong Kong based Fung, finished his training at the Ecole Nationale Superieure des Beaux-Arts, Paris, France, in 1990. He received the Bundanon Artist in Residence Programme, Australia in 2000 and the Vermont Studio Centre Fellowship in 2004. He has been working as a full time artist since his return to Hong Kong.
In the Disappearance series at his up-coming exhibition, Fung focused on some of the structures that were hot in the news such as the Star Ferry Clock Tower, the Queen’s Pier, the Oil Street Government Warehouse that was once an artists' commune and the aged resettlement estates, that was once Hong Kong's housing solution for tens of thousands of residents. The Desire series, of course, captured items that were more pleasurable with images from three of the world's largest shopping malls: Central, Mongkok and Causeway Bay of Hong Kong.
Art Beatus Gallery's exhibition space is located at 35-39 Graham Street, Ground Floor, Central, Hong Kong (near Hollywood Road and Lyndhurst Terrace). For further information about this exhibition or for interviewing the artist, you can e-mail us at dyiu@artbeatus.com.hk or call either Dominic Chan at 2522-1138 or Josephine Hau at 2526-0818.
Gallery hours: Mon. thr. Saturday, 11:30am-7:30pm, close on Sundays & public holidays.
