Art exhibition is often a space for people to come in and appreciate or study art through the introduction on the wall or in the guide, or the art piece itself. However this time, all the artists from different aspects come in the same room with their pieces, and will be given a chance to exchange ideas directly with their audience. We want to show the different perspectives of the artists, from the way they create, their stream of consciousness, and even the media they use for their art piece. During the process, the audience will be able to be the subject of inspiration for the artists, they might be able to take away some of their favourite art piece as well.

We named this exhibition ART (UN)FAIR because we do not want it to be another art fair with people buying and selling art, we want to support the artists by exchanging their art piece with “things” brought by the audience. There will not be any virtual numbers in between us, meaning we will not be using money as the means of exchange. If you like any of the creations or art piece, or simply support Art, we would like you to bring some “things”, or anything, as the means of exchange.

Our friends are throwing an exhibition as a reaction to the heavy finance oriented nature of art in Hong Kong. Show your support by going to the Art (UN)Fair at the Rat’s Cave on May 28, 2011. More details and images after the jump.
