述
將於七月二十五日至八月七日舉辦香港當代藝術家群展《物質中的物質》。
《物質中的物質》- 物質指獨立於意識以外的，但可以被意識所反映、摹寫的客觀存在。
此次展覽將展出陳敬偉、譚衍嘉、高嘉莉、關雪瑩、曾嘉儀、黃偉研及邱國榮七位新進藝術家的作品， 其形式涉及繪畫、雕塑、陶藝和攝影。
在此次展覽中，幾位新進藝術家的作品對世界和社會現實生活中存在的困惑和疑問，在作品語言上呈現出一種物質與意識的探索。
陳敬偉的《Where is my head？》水彩繪畫作品里，敏感流暢的水彩率真地展現了他對“人”與“獸”之間的疑问。作品包含意識以內的物態自殘，又表現出物質以外的意識混淆，映照著"人性"與"獸心"的尋找與掙扎。 他巧妙的融合了人類肢體象徵， 令觀賞者產生不可分割的關係。 是畫中的“他／牠”異常？！ 那現實中的“ 我”又是怎麼一回事？
譚衍嘉的《Memory from the past, nostalgia for the present 》是實驗著”記憶“於相態呈現的作品之一。她的作品充滿著“時間“ 的觸感， 以感性的氣息引領著觀賞者去穿越她的時光空間。她著重材質的拼湊與試驗， 讓過去的印象呈現於當下， 以勾起觀賞者的共鳴。
高嘉莉的《Constraints and possibilities》繪畫系列帶一種似有序既無序狀態， 表達城市地貌於時代中的褪變。 她有著超乎的掌控力， 從三維到平面以及質感都運用自如， 讓“結構”和“秩序”具有無限的可變性，並透視了抽像的資訊發展與現實社會的密切關係。
關雪瑩的攝影作品《Survival》提出了城市空間改變之中，”天然的”與"人為的”、”新的”與”舊的”；角色矛盾及迷惘。拼命地於真實與意識當中尋找“存在感”，渴求以每刻的呼吸去感受何謂”生存”。
曾家宜展出部份”民工“系列的作品。 她的創作意念來自大陸社會的生活體驗與中國民工的生活與採訪當中。她尋找著貧富懸殊的繁榮社會底下， 沒有戶籍的農民工的生活與故事。
黃偉研充滿著鐘愛舊區質感的陶藝作品《遺忘的空間》瀰漫著一陣人去樓空的遺憾美。人們遷去後， 好像掏空了建築物。遺留下的部份正好讓我們澄澈細察往時的生活痕跡、想像當中的故事、尋找堅毅的生命力，並反諷著現代生活與精神生活價值之所在與平行。
邱國榮專注讓物料的本質去表達”大自然與文明“。展出作品《切割》及《膠管》邱於粗糙的瓦通紙皮叠層上建立、切割、開攢，表達了人類任意的消耗著天然資源， 讓自然地形面目全非。當人為地形的發展已變成人類文明必須之時，那剩下一點點的原始地形是多寶貴呢？
這批當代藝術份子見証著當代藝術的進程與變化，試圖為中國香港當代藝術的發展注入新力量。

Material Mass – Group Exhibition
A group of artists is pleased to present their group exhibition《Material Mass》from July 25 to August 7, 2011. 《Material Mass》- Material Mass is an objective presence that could be perceived by our conscious but exists beyond our conscious.
Seven Hong Kong emerging contemporary artists, Wai Chan, Ann Dan, Clarie Ko, Sally Kwan, Chris Tsang, Edmond Wong & Marco Yao will present their Art works in response to the system in this world, and to explore 'material' or 'mass'.
In Wai Chan’s《Where is my head？》, watercolour is utilized sensitively to express his questions upon the relationship between human and animal. The works hint on self mutilation inside the conscious but at the same time express a chaotic mind. It searches the essence between human mind and the animal nature of human. Figures are dissolved into animal and viewers are posed to such absurd experience.
In Ann Dan’s 《Memory from the past, nostalgia for the present 》, experience of memory is being explored. The work is filled with an aura of time and she sensitively leads the viewers to wander in the past present in the work. Collage and exploration of materials in the work pull the distanced past into the present and share with viewers valuable memories we once share.
In Clarie Ko’s 《Constraints and possibilities》, exploration with signs of systems and chaos represent the change of city in the contemporary era. The works show a sensitive mastering ranging from 2D, 3D and also the textures. Structure and system both revealed infinitive variations inside the paintings. The works also explore the abstract information development and its relationship to the nowadays society.
Sally Kwan’s《Survival》questioned the role and dilemma between “natural v.s. man-made” and “new v.s. old” within the ever-changing city. Drifting among the reality and conscious, we struggle to survive through our every little breath.
Chris Tsang’s Chinese Migrant Workers series come from her own experience living within the Chinese Migrant Workers society and through various interviews with them. She is in search of the life and stories of these workers under such a glorious society but with intense disparity between the rich and the poor.
Edmond Wong’s 《The Forgotten Space》is filled with a melancholic aura of left-over district. When people left, those buildings are like being hollowed. The left-over parts are revealing traces of life, past stories, struggles of living. The parallel life of our modern and spiritual living is also being questioned.
Marco Yao concentrates in exploring the essence of material to convey the idea of “nature vs civilization”. In his installation《Cut》&《PVC Tube》, Yao constructs, cuts and drills upon piles of corrugated papers. The ever-accelerating human consumption of natural resources is changing, reshaping or even destroying the original landscape. It shows the irony between human development and our forgotten past, a valuable natural landscape.
This group of artists will witness the evolution of the contemporary art and will fill the Hong Kong contemporary art scene with new great energy!
