ArtAlive@Park2012 once again provides university students with a creative platform to showcase their originality and imagination.

This year, the Faculty of Architecture of The University of Hong Kong, the School of Architecture at The Chinese University of Hong Kong and the Division of Building Science and Technology of City University of Hong Kong have been invited to take part in the project. Led by their professors and the artists Kevin Fung Lik-yan, Danny Lee Chin-fai, and Ivy Ma King-chu, students from these three university departments are drawing on the two different fields of knowledge of art and architecture to design and install site-specific works in the parks along the seashore in Hong Kong, Kowloon and the New Territories. Created to match the unique environment and spaces of each park and to explore the diversity and flexibility of these public areas from an artistic and architectural perspective, the works on display aim to engage visitors in a variety of ways and offer them a new kind of interaction with art that does not just rely on visual appreciation.

To give people more opportunities to take part, the exhibition will be launched in three phases:

23.3.2012 – 31.5.2012 - Tsim Sha Tsui East Waterfront Podium Garden (by the Faculty of Architecture, The University of Hong Kong)
13.7.2012 – 30.9.2012 - Tai Po Waterfront Park (by the School of Architecture, The Chinese University of Hong Kong)
9.11.2012 – 26.1.2013 - Stanley Promenade (by the Division of Building Science and Technology, City University of Hong Kong)

What's more, HULU Culture, the collaborating curator of this exhibition, is arranging free guided tours and organising a series of fantastic events, including a performance by a cappella choral group, a major multimedia show combining classic and modern music and dance, an environmentally conscious percussion programme and dramatic guided tours, while the evening will feature an event that uses light to create imaginative images on a real landscape. Offering a variety of creative and artistic activities that echo the many aspects of the works on display, the exhibition will trigger the senses and allow the audience to enjoy intimate access to the events and experience a unique journey of art creation.
