展覽 《彼岸之地》(2018.04.14-05.06),記錄著文美桃由讀書時期到畢業後三年這段時期的創作方向。展覽中沒有張狂的議題,沒有政治的走向,更沒有話語權的指向。一切都沒有指向的答案呈現給了觀眾。
FP insider Wai-leung Lai (FP writer) takes an outsider’s view on the 3-year FP 1.0 at Wong Chuk Hang. 據點作者黎偉亮用局中人的局外視點輕輕的回看在黃竹坑的「據點 」第一個三年。

A visit to Gwangju Biennale alerted FPC member Lee Kai-chung to the possibilities of doing an artist’s residency in Seoul to study archiving practices for art, which he did and shared upon his return to HK in “Can’t Live Without.” 「這次駐場計劃是基於第一次在光州雙年展後到訪過MMCA作資料搜集的經驗出發的。那時其實並不知道有駐場計劃可以申請,只是純屬對一個藝術館的好奇…」

In the 4th piece of his “Just Around You” series, FP writer/manager Wai reconstructs a shared HK experience from 15 years ago, which is also a lament for loss…「總在你身邊」要說的是這個地方普通人的故事,其中人物的名字或故事情節容或杜撰,但角色的處境及遭遇皆為我所知所遇所見所聞,志在刻劃現實。系列的第四篇較為特別,重塑15年前的集體經驗,也是一篇悼文。
Part 1 of artist/scholar Linda Lai’s multi-episode narrative poem on living across two centuries, a contemplation on time and space as experienced… written over a cup of hot chocolate – English version. 2018年元旦日,黎肖嫻用了一個小時呷著一杯和暖的巧克力。這樣,兩個世紀的心情、不同的時空對策忽然安好坐落在一個思維地表之上,連線起來。
FP writer Wai-leung Lai turned his sentiments for the thick urban space of Hong Kong into fictional encounters in a serial. Part 3 seems to be a story of the person next door, whose emotions spill over three kinds of coffee-drinking. 黎偉亮寫實、描述、虛擬。是認知、理解世界的滾軸過程。說是故事其實是鄰家的她或他,沒有對錯,難分悲喜。真正的故事,始於敘事結束之後… …,唯一實實在在的是可點可喝的咖啡。
