About Exhibition
Architecture has always seen as a constructive force that creates shelter for people. Through the same force, these shelters become communities and communities become cities. Philosophers theorize this synthesizing cross-point of science and art as the way to construct a perfect world. Plato’s sacred geometries stemmed from the perfect square needed to build grand structures; Chinese Li Ji laid out the plans for Mingtong as a building for the emperor to receive his subjects around the world, segregating them in the order of importance. Modern philosophers tend not to prescribe a function for architecture, instead, they find meanings within them. Foucault looked for the culture of surveillance in prisons design; Lefebvre learned the rhythm of a city through his time spent in Paris. The Chinese word Jin means both physical space and mental space and thus emphasis the importance of the connection between the two. In this exhibition, Ko Sin Tung and Stephanie Sin observes architectures in everyday lives and reflect upon them through their art creation.
The education we received in Hong Kong emphasized the little land we have in Hong Kong created the unique cityscape filled with high-rises. Because of this lacking in land resources, older parts of the city is constantly under the threat of gentrification. The process takes down the rich and multifaceted communities and create new monolithic property development projects. Ko Sin Tung abstracts the ageing city and incorporate into the two-part installation work. One part represents the patching and rejuvenation of old buildings, another part shows the supporting structures for crumbling buildings. The work shows the fork in the road that the city is facing at the moment. Stephanie Sin render the air condition units, a common sight of the city, in a redesigned colour scheme that combine all the possible lights during a day. The accumulation of lights become an ambiguity that is difficult to decipher. Form Simultaneity is a term used by urbanist to denote all the repeating manifestations of urban elements that carry different emotion values. One has to choose careful between these virtually indistinguishable choice in the city in this uncertain times.
