展期：2015年4月25日——2015年6月30日

地点：深圳南山区华侨城恩平街华侨城创意文化园南区OCAT深圳馆A展厅

策展人：卢迎华

主办：OCAT深圳馆

支持：深圳华侨城股份有限公司

我们荣幸地举办香港艺术家梁志和的个展，“请按钮⋯⋯瞻前顾后：梁志和个展”。这将是这位艺术家在大陆举办的首个个展，也是他第一个事业中期的回顾性展览。尽管深港两地毗邻的地理位置和频繁的经济交流，两地艺术社群之间仍然存在着相当的距离与隔阂，缺乏对于彼此的创作与思考的深入了解和审视。作为一个位于三角洲地区的艺术机构，我们显然应该促进并为这种对话和彼此认识提供平台和机遇。

梁志和是长期活跃于香港和国际艺术界的资深艺术家，他的实践多样，视野宽阔，此次展览仅仅呈现了他的众多创作中的30余件作品，时间跨度从1993年至2015年。其中2015年的工作包括了他最新的一件作品，是基于艺术家在童年时期每周跨境来深圳治病的经历所创作的。

梁志和于上个世纪60年代出生于香港，成长、生活并工作于香港，亲身目睹并亲历了香港的多重演变。他的作品以摄影、表演、文字、录像、装置等媒介出现，往往从城市空间、城市语言、城市记忆、殖民历史和官僚架构及嵌入其中的意识形态、艺术世界和艺术史这些维度来描摹和考察他的家乡香港。同时他的思考也能够跳出香港的范畴，对历史意识、历史的记忆及其它的叙述方式这些本质上是建构的领域进行提问和反思。

在此次展览中，艺术家有意不按照时间的线索或以严格的主题划分来组织和呈现他的创作，而是借用德勒兹的块茎论的概念来建构作品与作品之间的组织方式和时空关系，贴切地描述在他的创作中纵横交错的指涉，其中包含了“城市与神话”、“主观记忆”、“不确定性的文字和语言”、“我的小小艺术界”和“空间的视角”等主题。这些创作的方向彼此无中心、无高潮、无终点，处于变化和生成的状态之中，并通过作品与作品之间微妙的暗示和关联被我们所感知。

梁志和1968年生于香港，在香港中文大学获得艺术硕士学位，1996年参与创办了Para／Site艺术空间。他曾在意大利摄影研究及档案中心进修摄影文化课程，并在美国、澳大利亚、日本等国家参与众多艺术家驻地项目，自2000年起，他参与了威尼斯、上海、光州、釜山、曼彻斯特广州等国际双年展和三年展，并在香港、维也纳、伦敦、多伦多、札幌、纽约等地举办个展。梁志和现为香港城市大学创意媒体学院助理教授。

展厅中缺席的作品由于运输的原因，将在5月中之前到位，作为展览的第二章节，将结合现场表演和演讲与大家见面。具体日期敬请关注微信微博和官方网站通知！

Press the Button…

Leung Chi Wo: A SurveyExhibition

Duration:April 25—June 30, 2015

Location:OCAT Shenzhen Exhibition Hall A, OCT Loft, Enping Road, Nanshan, Shenzhen

Curator:Carol Yinghua Lu

Support:Shenzhen Overseas Chinese Town CorporationLtd.

We proudly present Press the Button…, a mid-career surveyshow of Leung Chi Wo. It is the first survey exhibition of this Hong Kongartist in Mainland China. Despite the geographical proximity and frequenteconomic exchanges between Shenzhen and Hong Kong, there exists a considerablegap between the art communities on both sides of the border.

Leung, a veteran of the Hong Kong art scene, willreceive an in-depth consideration of his three-decade long practice in thisexhibition that presents more than 30 works drawn from the period from 1993 topresent days. It is most relevant that the latest work he presents in thisexhibition is based on his childhood experience of crossing the border weeklyfor his medical treatment in a hospital in Shenzhen.

Asa Hong Kong native, Leung’s works, in the form of photography, performance,text, video and installations, often portrays and explores his hometown city interms of its urban space, its languages, its memory and its colonial history,its bureaucratic structure and the ideology imbedded in it, its art world andits art history. But he also goes beyond the history of Hong Kong and questionsand investigates into forms and content of historic consciousness, memories,and narratives that are constructions in essence.

Theworks in the exhibition will be arranged non-chronologically or strictly bytheir subject matters. Rather, the audience would be invited to navigate arhizome-like floor plan that reflects the reoccurring and interwoven concernscentral to the artist’s practice: “City and its myth”, “Subjective memory”,“Text and language of uncertainty”, “My small art world”, and “Perceptivespace”, with subtle indications of connectivity among the works.

Bornin 1968 in Hong Kong, Leung Chi Wo obtained a Post-Diploma in Culture of Photography from l'Istituto per lo SviluppoSocio-Economico dello Spilimberghese in Italy and an MFA from the ChineseUniversity of Hong Kong. In 1996, he co-founded the art space Para/Site. Leunghas participated in artist-in-residence programs in the U.S., Japan, Australia,etc. He has also participated in international biennales and triennials inVenice, Shanghai, Gwangju, Busan, Guangzhou, and Manchester. His soloexhibitions have been held in Hong Kong, Vienna, London, Toronto, Sapporo, andNew York. Leung currently holds the position of Assistant Professor at theCreative Media Department in the City University of Hong Kong.

We apologize for the missing works in the exhibitiondue to transportation delay. The remaining works will be installed andpresented as a second chapter of the exhibition, which will unfold accompaniedby a programme of live performance and lecture. Please refer to our website,wechat and Facebook announcements for specific date and information.
