Restrictive Motivation
Date: 28 Jun - 28 Jul 2013

“Space” is the key to the exhibition. We are restricted by it in most aspects. Public space should be shared among the residents, yet it is not the case in Hong Kong.

No, we are not complaining; we are exploring what one can create with the limited vs. unlimited space. Basically, “space” is a luxury. Existing in this narrow place, we are restricted in all directions and aspects by all organizations and authorities. With the lack of external space, the only choice we can make is to look inward. Internal space is limit-less; internal space is constraint-less. And through there we could build the right “ tools ” for our surroundings.

In realities, we are all forced to become followers. If art reflects its time and realities, from the concept to the artworks of the exhibition are really not our ideas. The thought process is forced upon us. We are all very passive.

About the artists:

Scott Chan has lived all his life in Hong Kong.Tracking back in the keenness in arts and sketching, it was all because of the boredom of getting recovered from the injuries from skate-boarding, thus triggers his passion in being an artist. He wholeheartedly insists in the rawness of hand sketches rather than artificially.

ks(wor.ks.1.ow) has been a street artist in Hong Kong since 1999. The “my little spokesman” project can be seen across Hong Kong, spreading his message to all people who pay attention on the street. He is also involved in illustration work and design. From 2008 he started a new series of watercolor portrait called “Random Portrait”. Also, he has established an online photo magazine, “the-ideo”, photographs are also exhibited in the 2011 group exhibition “DAY JOB?”. The first solo watercolor painting exhibition “Random Is Beautiful” held in 2010 and re-run in 2011. 2011 to curators and participants identity associated with the ten other creative units held “ART(UN)FAIR, the full daily barter with the audience in the exchange. Now preparing for the second solo exhibition “A Complete Shambles” in 2012, the artworks will have to use of a smart phone or tablet computer to interact with the audience, this is a different from the usual painting exhibition.
