100 ft. PARK is pleased to present the exhibition Addicted to Hong Kong from 7 to 20 May 2013, showing an installation work by Him Lo. Communities have become unsightly and tasteless due to the recent town development and renewal of old districts. The newly built luxury residential is out of place with the neighbourhood, and the countryside of Hong Kong is in the risk of being turned to land for residential areas. Discontent with the current development of the city, Him Lo longs to destroy the monstrous high-rise buildings with his own hands and give people back a piece of wonderland. Through this installation work, Him Lo releases his pique and rethinks the meaning of destruction and construction and who is responsible to define the both.
On the opening night, Him Lo will use water gun to shoot at the miniature city made by paper tissues. The melted tissues will pile up and form mountains and fields. Audience is invited to participate in the creation of this work of art with the artist and to give vent to their anger.
Born in Hong Kong, Him Lo graduated from Middlesex University, UK, in VCD, illustration with first class honors. He also obtained a BA in fine art in RMIT University, Australia. Apart from his works of painting, Lo has also actively involved in performance art.

百呎公園將於2013年5月7日至5月20日舉行展覽「射爆香港」，展出盧樂謙的裝置作品。
近年來香港的市區發展及舊區重建計劃把社區面貌弄得不堪入目，新落成的豪宅於舊區內格格不入，亳無格調，沒有絲毫人的氣息，而香港僅有的鄉郊原野亦恐淪為發展豪宅的土地。盧樂謙對當下市區的變化極為不滿，巴不得親手把奇形怪狀的高樓大廈摧毀，移為平地，還市民一片樂土。盧樂謙透過是次裝置作品發洩他的憤怒，在構思過程中，他亦重新思考何謂破壞、何謂建設，及兩者由誰去界定。
盧樂謙利用廁紙築起如海市蜃樓的城市，於展覽開幕當晚會以水槍射向紙製的大廈，溶掉的紙漿如泥土堆積成土地和山丘。歡迎觀眾參與創作，與藝術家一同發洩對現況的不滿。
盧樂謙於香港出生，於英國薩斯大學視覺傳達設計系一級榮譽畢業，亦於澳洲墨爾本皇家理工大學藝術系取得學士學位。除了繪畫作品外，盧樂謙亦活躍於行為藝術演出。
