"Where do we have a little art entertainment"
​Wild Art Festival 2019
​「哪有一點藝術娛樂」野生藝術節 2019

19/3-7/4/2019  CCCD Space - Green Wave Art, Yau Ma Tei, HK​
Hong Kong's exhibitions seem getting bigger, but there also seems to have no room for art. It is a awakening call for Green Wave Art not being able to renew the licence to continue the running of a public entertainment venue. Space policy and legislation have always been a restriction for the development of small and medium-sized arts space, artistic freedom and cultural ecology in Hong Kong.

In response to the current space, development and freedom faced by Green Wave Art,  this project aims to open up the imagination of space through the work of art. The works/shows are the response to the entertainment licenses, community public space or the development of Hong Kong art, as well as  exploration of urban space.
香港的展覽越辦越大型,卻好像越來越沒有空間。是次碧波押因場地未申請公眾娛樂場所牌照而不獲續約更是一個警鐘,空間政策和法例一直是中小藝團發展的一個限制,也將會是香港藝術自由和文化生態的一個困境。是次發起今的野生藝術節,回應現時碧波押乃至業界面臨的空間、發展和創作自由問題。用游擊的戰略,在碧波押及其周邊地區展開為期二十日的創作、表演和活動。
​
作品/展演關於碧波押事件、娛樂牌照問題、社區公共空間或香港藝術發展現況作回應,或純粹實驗、探索城市空間或是製造對話的平台。

Street art should be from the street. The objects picked up on the streets always contain traces from people, consumption patterns and street culture. The image of the object is magnified, and the functional meaning of the objects themselves have disappeared. What remains is  "experience" of objects and their essence of existence.

Afterword: 
After one day, their survival rate is only 2/7, and the rest will soon disappear silently. This is a destined failing street artwork. Maybe I am just not reconciled to the fact that many things in this city have been hurriedly skipped. Gradually , we lost of sensitivity to our life.​
果欄地上的果皮、安全用品店的手套、煙盒、煙頭、快餐店的汽蓋和飲管、裝潢宣傳的街招、空氣填充袋⋯⋯

街頭藝術應該回到街頭本身。街頭上撿拾到的物件包含著人的痕跡、消費和地區文化,物件影像被放大,物件本身的功能意義消失,剩下的是它可被觀察的經歷和存在的本質。
​
​後記:一天後,它們的存活率只有2/7,剩下的遲早也會無聲無色地消失。這是註定的失敗街頭作品,只是不甘心這個城市的很多事物被匆匆略過,所指的不是這些廢物,而是我們逐漸失去對生活的敏感度⋯⋯

You Looking At Me Looking At You

​This glimpse will be forgotten after a few seconds. Maybe one day, when you find that this place has disappeared, you will be possible to recall of this "one glimpse" again.

Now, I record the faces for you, when I look at you looking at me.

In the memory of Green Wave Art.
這一瞥,你們沒幾步後就會忘記。到一天發現這地方消失了,才可能再想起這「一瞥」。

​我為你先記下這時我看你看我的模樣。

記念,油麻地碧波押。
