在混亂又張牙舞爪的粗黑線條中，一張張的臉孔佔據了整個空間，感覺很擁擠。站在門看進去就會被這一種強大、多人、混亂的氣場所震攝住 …

Steve McCurry made his name in the 80s with the iconic Afghan Girl. One of the most recognisable photos in 20th century, Afghan Girl as a photographic portrait has achieved a memorable status equivalent to Vermeer’s Girl with Pearl Earring within the portrait genre. From September 23-November 8, Steve McCurry is collaborating with Lavazza, the Italian coffee company, to show 62 …

If you have visited The Infinite Nothing, you would probably notice that the whole exhibition space is composed by a number of audio/visual equipment. One of the daily duties of us as an exhibition attendant is to communicate with the technical supporting team in Hong Kong whenever there is a problem with the AV system, and try to fix it with their help and instructions. Afterwards, we would also need to write a tech log to record all the details and process.

威尼斯處處可見的歐洲鑰匙，是香港商場櫥窗裡所展示的商品或裝飾品。但在這裡，它能充分發揮鑰匙的功能。而且，我會覺得它還是有性格的鑰匙。是需要有技巧且用心用力，才能用它打開那道守護著重要東西的門。就以我們展場裡的其中一道門為例吧 …

精神分析學派創始人弗洛伊德（Sigmund Freud）曾在其1901年的著作《日常生活之精神病學》中說過, 潛意識是自己意識上不能知道的東西，只能透過一些行為上的失誤旁側敲擊來獲得，這也是人們說的「弗洛伊德式錯誤」（Freudian slip）…「Slip of the Tongue」 就是由50多個勇於「出賣」自己的人，一起聯手展出他們的齷齪慾望、零碎記憶和壓抑情感。他們的作品就如潛意識般，沒有邏輯地隨意置放在博物館的每一個角落。

在雙年展期間，有接近二百多個展覽在威尼斯舉行，每個都有著截然不同的主題、媒介和形式，但大部分展覽都有著一個共通點——樓梯。雙年展主場區Arsenale和Giardini以外的國家館及周邊展覽散落於整個威尼斯的大街小巷，有些展館更是由民居改裝而成，於是就造成了「看展覽，先爬梯」的觀眾活動。你永遠無法預知樓梯另一端的展覽屬好屬壞，於是當你走了許多個展覽後，就得發現，原來自己枉走了很多條樓梯，而在你已經走得很疲累但仍不想錯過好展覽的時候，你總會很快再遇上一條比之前走過的還要長的樓梯……

忙碌了一整個星期，好不容易等到星期一的假期。今次我來到受著多位策展朋友讚許的展覽── Museo Fortuny 的「Proportio」。「比例」，我們從小就有親身體驗，由個人的專容是否對枰至身型比例是否平均，皆會被自己和別人評一評。雖然每人的尺都不同，而最為耳熟能詳的「黃金比例」卻是一個標準，但這展覽豈會如此淺論呢！

Hello everyone! Here comes “Crazy Count” again! Last time we talk about the number of audience who would read carefully the curatorial statement before getting inside the exhibition. Most of them prefer to go in the pavilion directly. This time we try to look into something different. Let’s begin with a simple question again. …

How do you usually see an exhibition? Carefully read the curatorial statement before laying your eyes upon any artwork? Or go straight into the galleries without letting anything interfere with your first impression? Try to make sense of every piece? Or only care about those that grab your attention? There can be a myriad of answers. I guess it …

Amongst “thousands” of exhibitions that are now being held during the period of Venice Biennale, you probably want to squeeze some time to visit the Venetian museum of one of the richest men in the world, François Pinault, who owns the high-end fashion house Gucci group. Seeing his collection as a competitor with Peggy Guggenheim …

I can say Fondazione Prada is one of my favourite places to visit in Venice. Located in Ca’ Corner della Regina, formerly a palace of the Corner’s family, Fondazione Prada has used the place as its headquarter since 2011. I spent an afternoon there when I had my day off on Monday. Although the entrance …

In Tsang Kin-Wah’s video works, you can always see how he intricately uses the sound, light and space to transform the atmosphere of a particular site. Use of texts is also an important element in his works. For those who are familiar with Tsang Kin-Wah will know that he is very much inspired by Friedrich …

‘The whole work is mainly based on my reading and interpretation of Nietzsche’s philosophy and some religious ideas from Christianity, Buddhism and Taoism.’ – Tsang Kin-Wah. To understand more about The Infinite Nothing, take a look at artist Tsang Kin-Wah’s responses to The Venice Questionnaire by ArtReview as he tells us his exhibition plan for Venice, …
