Organized by the Department of Fine Arts at The Chinese University of Hong Kong, the Attic Lab is a student-led project and an extension of a contemporary art studio course. Located on the 14th floor of the Spark City Mongkok, this public art project brings together art creation, workshops, and exhibitions. Its purpose is to create a platform inspired by community observation and learning that gives back to the community. Undergraduate students from the fine arts department will share their attempts and results combining theory and artistic practice through various approaches such as field research, interviews, media experiments, workshop facilitation, artwork and exhibition curation.

In public spaces, can we fully unleash our imagination, what are the constraints? Does the community truly need the intervention of artists? Is it impossible to delve deeper into an area without genuine interaction with local people? How do we define the impact of “stepping out of our comfort zone” on artistic creation? What factors make collaboration difficult in art cooperation? How do interpersonal relationships established and developed in community art affect the creative process? How do we define the success of community art?

Through this project, we hope to address the above questions posed by students and explore different aspects and approaches to community participatory art creation.

 

由香港中文大學藝術系主辦的「閣樓研習室」,是一個由本科學生主導的當代藝術課程的延伸項目。位於俊薈旺角14樓,這公共藝術項目匯聚了藝術創作、工作坊與作品展示。其目的在於建立一個啟發自社區觀察,並以學習回饋社區的平台。藝術系的本科生們將通過田野調研、訪問、媒介實驗、設計及帶領工作坊、發佈作品及策劃展覽等多種形式,分享他們結合理論與藝術實踐的嘗試與成果。

在公共空間中,我們能否充分發揮我們的想像力? 社區是否真的需要藝術家的介入? 沒有真的與當地人接觸便無法更深入了解這個地區嗎?因此我所做的行動都只停留在表面嗎?如何界定「走出舒適區」對於藝術創作的影響?在藝術協作中,哪些因素使合作變得困難?在社區藝術中,人際關係的建立和發展如何影響創作過程?如何定義社區藝術的成功?

透過是次項目,我們希望回應以上學生提出的問題,並研習社區參與式藝術創作的不同面向和方式。
