Art Container Project

The Art Container Project is organized by MIA (Mere Independent Artists) in 2007. After the first departure in 2008, 37 art containers as art ambassadors of Hong Kong carried their own goods and started their journeys around the world. In 2014, MIA is closing the event and trying to make another journey for the art containers.

Content:
In 2008, MIA (Mere Independent Artists) made an attempt to open up more discussions about the development of Hong Kong art by organising the Art Container Project. Since then, Hong Kong has seen some special changes including the art programmes of M+ of the West Kowloon Cultural District, the setting up of new branches by international art galleries and hosting of large-scale exhibitions, the government’s initiative in the promotion of art to the community, and art education programmes at different levels offered by universities and institutions. Where is Hong Kong art going? This forum will provide a free platform for the discussion of the present and future of Hong Kong art.

Guest speakers:
Chan Kam-shing, Chris (Member of Hong Kong Arts Development Council and artist of Art Container Project)
Cheng Chi-ming, Carl (Documentation Exhibition Curatorial Team Leader and artist of Art Container Project)
Cheung Wai-sum, Eddie (Curator of Art Container Project Art Exhibition)
Dr. Ho Siu-kee (Associate Professor and Programme Director of MVA at Baptist University)
Dr. Lesley Lau (Director of Art Promotion Office)

藝術貨櫃計劃(一)



沈默了一陣子的藝術貨櫃計劃又要啟動了。作為香港藝術大使的藝術貨櫃由2008年開始出發,經海路到達不同的城市,其經歷的詳情,暫時無法知曉,幸好,所有藝術貨櫃都沒有遇到不愉快事件。

藝術貨櫃計劃的籌備經驗了無比艱辛過程﹔這幾年間,香港的藝域又出現了極速的變化,似乎經濟/商業的動力比任何民間團體都要高,藝術貨櫃計劃變成了一個好的例子,見證香港藝術的發展﹕由低限度的存在、到處處皆藝術﹔由充滿期待到「革命尚未成功,同志仍須努力」的感慨。究竟一個可反映地土的藝術為甚麼這麼難出現﹖看來民間的志願跟官方的政策有很大的分歧。
