A community arts exhibition entitled The Blind Carbon Copy (BCC) to Kowloon City will be organized at the gallery of Kai Tak Campus, showcasing four groups of artworks created by the alumni of the Academy of Visual Arts.
With the conversion of the former airport into the cruise terminal now in place, Kowloon City has undergone a radical transformation in respect of its social fabrics. Inspired by the evolving cityscape of Kowloon City, this exhibition is about the untold secrets that the 5 artists discovered through a long period of observation when they rambled through the streets and lanes of the district, such as the consistent and harmonic colour combinations, the notion of change from the airport to the cruise terminal, and the relationship between the building height and sound in the district.
The artists transformed these delicate yet ever-changing imprints hidden in the dank alleyways of the district into a wide range of imaginative and stimulating works. Through their artistic creation, the artists offer their alternative observations in an attempt to portray the past as well as the present of the district, renewing and rebuilding the memories of the community. These secrets can be beautiful and romantic, but can also be about some unexplainable relationships. They are just like some BCC emails unintentionally received by the artists, waiting to reappear in another way.
