The rise of capitalistic production has made men’s work unitary. Capitalists aim to eliminate all variations in production, which include forbidding “human” to become a variable factor in their business. Human, escaping from the loop of inhuman production, turns to involve in art and creation for pleasure during leisure time. To the society, art is mistakenly regarded as an activity with no actual economic benefits.

Art and the capitalist production pattern tend to become diametrically opposite. The situation is similar to black and white on the colour chart: they are only traceable at their highest and lowest. What stands in between the two, is grey.

The exhibition, For Grey’s Sake, is an dynamic response from members of A‧Lift Team in regard of “grey”.
