Invited by HALLE 14, Leipzig, Germany, I participated in “The Ends of Freedom” exhibition which runs from 7/9 to 7/12/2019. I decided to use this as a platform for voices from Hong Kong in turmoil. A gigantic 10m x 5m “Lennon Wall” was created with 2,000 posters, plus some work of moving images I gathered from local artists and others on the Anti-Extradition protests in Hong Kong.

Wen Yau, a performance artist who joined an Occupy Central protest wearing a blindfold designed like the Chinese flag, is determined to foster more rational, calm discussion within the arts community for this year’s handover anniversary.
“There are so many divisions and not enough talking. It’s true even within the arts community,” she says.

《像藝術家一樣畫畫》是一個持續性計劃。魂游從零開始學習繪畫,並每月隨不同的香港藝術家研習繪畫藝術;另一邊廂,她於每月在油街實現「一百之後」計劃中按這些藝術家在北角區內所選取的地方作戶外寫生,並不時廣邀街坊及友好出席,在日常的生活場景中一起偶遇藝術的驚喜。
魂游自幼居於北角,透過從其他香港藝術家研習到的畫藝,以及他們所提供的故事或記憶,在定期的寫生活動中重新認識自己熟悉的社區,同時檢視本地藝術的各種流派,也探索繪畫作為一種藝術形式的當今意義。
This project is part of wen yau’s on-going Painting like an Artist series in which the artist starts from zero and acquires painting skills from various artists in Hong Kong. For the 2-year durational project After One Hundred at Oi!, she did a plein-air each month in the neighbourhood area within North Point district where she had been living since childhood.
By using the painting techniques learnt from other artists and drawing a place in North Point suggested by them, wen yau intends to re-observe the community where she finds familiar. Local neighbours and friends will be openly invited to join the plein air every month, and to encounter art in everyday life settings. The paintings she made during the 2 years not only convey stories or memories of people about these local places, but also present a survey on Hong Kong painters of different styles as well as her exploration of painting as an art form itself.
