Edwin Lo / 十二聲度的 “Weiwei…Vito” 輕柔呼喚喚出了甚麼合作？
– Edwin Lo “Acconci Studio and Ai Weiwei: A Collaborative Project” 8 May – 4 July, 2010 // Para/Site Art Space, Hong Kong Para/Site 藝術空間近年來一直專注於引入海外藝術家來香港展出作品。剛剛在藝術空間展出完畢的，是兩位甚具份量的當代藝術家艾未未（中國）和Vito Acconci（美國）。 兩位本來已屬重量級的當代藝術人物, 又是有名的建築家，這次同臨香港, 更開宗名義的以 “ Ai Wei Wei + Vito Acconci Studio: A Collaborative Project”為前題進行對話式的展覽。明顯的是, “collaborative” 是一個關鍵詞; 但是這一次展覽如他們在Para/Site和Asia Art Archive協辦的簡報一樣,「合作」這方面是令人相當失望的。 這一次展覽的創作方針是在展覽期內定期將作品放置於已劃分好的方格之中; 不斷加入展品, 意味著展覽一直在變化著。最後, 我們看到這次展覽的結果是: 三個電視播放著藝術家的視頻對話，兩件模型及盛載兩個模型的包裝，一組四張由 Vito Acconci Studio 負責撰寫, 配上虛擬影像的文案，一百二十多幅照片( […]

Gabbie Chiu / 電影以外 – 高安兄弟系 Other Than the Movies – Coen Series
– CHIU Yee-ling 趙綺鈴 高安兄弟的電影好看，可是總不由地注意到他們電影以外的好東西。 〈O Brother, Where Art Thou?〉 Soundtrack 中學時期，逛影碟舖時，隨手拿了張封套漂亮的VCD，因而看了第一齣高安兄弟的電影〈O Brother, Where Art Thou?〉。幽默瘋狂，節奏輕快流暢，營造故事獨特的時空和氣氛亦十分出色。最印象深刻的是電影大碟的歌曲，如 Big Rock Candy Mountain，O Death 及 In the Jailhouse Now等，十年後時至今天仍然位居本人 itune playlist 曲目之首幾十位。 由 T-Bone Burnett 製作的〈O Brother, Where Art Thou?〉電影 Soundtrack 於2002年奪得第44屆 The Grammy Awards Album of the Year。〈O Death〉奪得 Best Male Country Vocal Performance。〈I Am A Man Of Constant Sorrow〉則獲 Best […]
