The Window Project
by AJC Gallery
Location: Amelia Johnson Contemporary
Artist(s): Dinu LI, LAM Wai Kit
Date: 16 Jan - 28 Feb 2011

From 16th January 2011 Amelia Johnson Contemporary is thrilled to present an exciting initiative, The Window Project. Featuring the video and projection work of four young Chinese artists the gallery’s windows will be transformed into impromptu performance venues. Each artist’s work will play for a 10 day period, some for limited hours each day. Opening the project will be Dinu Li’s video installation, Transformer (after Lou Reed). The narrative describes three different characters (all performed by the artist) in the privacy of their apartments during one evening. Displayed simultaneously across three LCD monitors the work places the viewer in the position of voyeur, accessing not only the physical interior spaces of each of these men, but also the psychological spaces of each individual. Young Hong Kong artist Lee Kai Chung presents a thought provoking work entitled The Lost Roads. In the past 30 years the Hong Kong government has destroyed 300 thoroughfares to make way for large-scale construction projects such as domestic housing and commercial buildings. Lee’s work, presented in the form of a slide show, discusses how this post-colonial city planning is sweeping away history and, as a result, the hundreds of stories that are lost as human behavior becomes constrained by the metropolitan city. Chu Sin Wa is a recent graduate from the Fine Art Department at The Chinese University of Hong Kong. Her works mainly convey emotions or trivial matters and are rendered in search of formal representations; colours play a vital role in these works, which are always accompanied by a sense of humour. Une Minute is a recent video work and depicts the artist involved in two activities, one slowed down, one speeded up that take one minute. Lam Wai Kit is one of Hong Kong’s most established photographers and video artists. Say Me as a Little Fish is an enigmatic work by Bologna/Hong Kong based artist Lam Wai Kit and features Lam’s trademark split screen presentation. Following the route of a Hong Kong minibus driver on one side juxtaposed by goldfish on the other side, the work unfolds to the sounds of children on a Merry-go-round.
