Moving Bricks is an artist-in-residence programme that transformed an exhibition space of Cattle Depot Artist Village into a studio. In a series of six weekend workshops, local art group MUDwork in collaboration with nearby residents will create mobile installation carts of specific functions, with architectural features of the Cattle Depot Artist Village. The installation acts as a catalyst, it broadens the imagination and implementation of unconventional activities of humanities in a fluid way. And it forms a bustling view of the community.
At the end of the exhibition, the installation carts will become a public space of nearby residents or hawkers for further uses so as to organically extend their entities.
