WCH Assemblage #1: Automatism. Repurpose. Regenerate. A starting point. | 黃竹坑聚疊（一）：不假思索。「聚」與「疊」

Exhibition date | 展覽日期       15.07.2015 - 01.08.2015 ＠ Floating Projects 據點・句點

“WCH Assemblage #1” epitomizes a few basic principles of the Floating Projects (FP) – its Chinese name literally “occupying point, completion point.”

Wong Chuk Hang Assemblage is a game-play-performance-installation series created as Floating Projects' signature art-making event. 

Following a principle of automatism, free association and improvization takes us into unique studies of found and gleaned objects – their physicality, original usage, re-purposing potential, and as traces and emblems of a particular place.

Following a generative principle, we ask the question “what could be our next step of action” as we assemble objects on a fixed venue, i.e. Floating Projects' art production site, a 1800sf venue, ready to reinvent them to explore their second and next lives.

WCH Assemblage will turn FP the site into an amoeba, making a story of its ever evolving and changing shapes, ambiences and characters. Such change is promising as we consider the many artistic talents and conceptual concern of FP's different members, which they will incorporate into each and different assemblage events, such as sound art, video installation, projection, body sculpture, book-making, drawing and writing, software and hardware manipulation, electricity and musical instruments and so on. Stay put for many upcoming Assemblage events.

《黃竹坑聚疊》是「據點。句點」的原生遊戲系列。

句點藝術群體會在區內拾遺，不加思索地處理著現成物料，推斷著現成/被棄物的物理性，可衍生的下一步。往後，我們會納入群體成員的各種才藝和關注，化「玩物」的遊戲為多媒而跨界的表演藝術，預計會融入聲音藝術、錄像裝置、形體裝置、樂器演奏、書寫速畫、玩具和軟件硬件的玩弄、造書、投影、玩電路等等，都將會是以無意間訂下了的遊戲規則去推闊裝置實驗的容量和平台的多樣化。這也許就是「據點。句點」作為身處黃竹坑的藝術工場的基調，是工場空間「變形蟲」地誌。

《黃竹坑聚疊#1》是我們的初試啼聲。對我們有著期待，好嗎？
