《快活谷》香港社區連線藝術計劃 8 & 9--- 遊樂‧對話

C & G藝術三角於2020年10月至明年8月，每月邀請一位(共十位)本地藝術家，於跑馬地社區連結跑馬地街坊，進行一系列社區藝術活動。

第八炮活動將連同第九炮一同進行，於2021年6-8月舉行，由藝術家余佩珊及張曉瑜合作主理。她們會為大家帶來一系列工作坊及分享活動，這個計劃會以不定點游擊式配合展覽進行，內容分別如下：

襯人在，記憶還未凋零之時好好記錄街坊彼此之間在跑馬地締結的回憶，好好記錄街坊們為跑馬地所創造的歷史和改變。能一同聚首於跑馬地是緣份，我們把街坊們之間的緣份輯錄成小書冊—《快活對話》，以街坊與該地區的軼事和記憶拼砌成屬於跑馬地之友的拼圖。活動鼓勵各位跑馬地的朋友分享你的「快活」故事，從中了解屬於當區的獨特文化，以及人與事，亦藉此為街坊創造對話框架。

在過去沒有互聯網絡的年代，小朋友閒時是玩什麼遊戲呢？跳飛機、拋豆袋、跳橡根繩、捉迷藏、麻鷹捉雞仔⋯⋯這些都是小朋友相聚時的集體遊戲。然而，紙飛機、紙鐵炮、紙足球這些遊戲是否比較陌生？即使聽過都沒玩過？想玩又沒人陪你玩？今次機會來了！四日的紙品遊戲工作坊，我們會與街坊一同重溫昔日的土炮玩意。參考《快活對話》的內容，走訪到街坊小時候經常玩耍的空地、樓梯、小巷、公園等昔日的遊戲場所，進行一場小比賽。

展覽進行期間將邀請本地藝術家魂游與余佩珊及張曉瑜進行對談，討論社區藝術於跑馬地的發展潛質。由於限聚令持續生效，對談環節現場只預留少量座位供觀眾現場參與，對談過程會透過網絡直播，請密切留意我們網站 及 facebook。活動費用全免，詳情如下：

"Happy Valley" Hong Kong Communities Connected 8 & 9 -
Playful Dialogue

‘Happy Valley’ is a one-year long community art program at C&G Art Triangle, from Oct 2020 till Aug 2021. Totally 10 local artists are invited to exhibit and/or perform every month at the art space and in the neighborhood.

The upcoming invited artist for the eighth and ninth round are YU Pui Shan and CHEUNG Hiu Yu. The two artists are collaborating together to launch a playful project in the community from June to August, 2021. The project will take place in a guerrilla fashion at Happy Valley, with an exhibition at C & G Art Triangle in the end.

Before memories fade away and before the essential characters leave for good, it is important to collect the stories of a place. YU Pui Shan and CHEUNG Hiu You began doing so for Happy Valley in 2020. They interviewed residents in the neighbourhood, and published a series of zines, titled “Delighted Dialogue,” to help share all the lovely stories about the district in the past. Each interviewee’s precious memories construct part of a larger puzzle of Happy Valley.

Part of this delighted puzzle include the memories of children playing in the neighbourhood at the age without internet. Many kaifongs shared old games they play in their interviews, like hopscotch, bean-bag-toss, rubber-band-skipping, hide-and-seek, eagle-hunt etc. There were so many collective games in the old days. YU and CHEUNG will bring a series of fun games that make use of paper origami to play with participants in Happy Valley this time. They are inviting anyone who is interested to play paper airplane, paper cannon and even paper football together. There will be 4 days of paper-based street games in the open space of Happy Valley, for all to have a taste of the playful moments without digital equipment.

An artist-dialogue with wen yau, YU Pui Shan and CHEUNG Hiu Yu will take place during the exhibition, to discuss community art and Happy Valley. Due to the pandemic, there will be limited seats for the event, but the dialogue and sharing session will have live-broadcast. Free of charge. Please stay tuned at our website and Facebook page:

張曉瑜(阿 Kate) | Cheung Hiu Yu (ah Kate)
1999年在香港出生，5歲開始學習社會各種歪理，終於今年大學畢業，在社會實踐所學。我只為自己努力，做我認為有意義的事，做能表達思想的事。我所謂意義的定義在於展現人類比機器更珍貴的特質，我認為人類要給自己溝通，愛和感受。
Born in Hong Kong in 1999, I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Creative Arts and Culture from The Education University of Hong Kong in 2021. I just practice my thoughts and ideas into action. I think humans need to communicate, love, and feel with ourselves and others which is a precious nature.

C & G | 藝術三角C&G Art Triangle

「C & G藝術三角」成立於2019年，為C & G藝術單位的分部，位於跑馬地一小地鋪。以發展區內社區藝術為主要方向，期望藉此連繫「社區」、「藝術活動」和「參與者」，並嘗試把策劃元素交由參與街坊高度參與，鼓勵市民自行發展進一步延續活動。
提倡由下而上的策劃方針，以貼地、幽默、諷刺時弊的角度，回應社區事件，期望觸發更多的回應。配合低門檻的藝術媒介，讓更多民眾可以輕鬆主動參與。

Established in 2019, C&G Art Triangle is an extension of C&G Artpartment. It is located in a small shop at Happy Valley, and attempts to explore different art forms for community engagement. With its bottom-up curatorial direction, Art Triangle hopes to address community and social issues with down-to-earth, humorous but critical approaches.
