藝術(shù)家會在現(xiàn)場候教
多年來，香港藝術(shù)家謝淑婷一直在探討“保存?zhèn)€人經(jīng)歷”的意義，她過去的展覽及作品都在環(huán)繞著這個(gè)方向進(jìn)行。
謝淑婷作品展是今年“法國五月”的展覽活動(dòng)之一，並由香港法國文化協(xié)會贊助。
這次在精藝軒舉辦名為“French Landscape – Connection and Collection”的展出，展題如要直接翻譯，則展品與法國風(fēng)景確實(shí)扯不上太大關(guān)係，但展品卻觀念地展示出藝術(shù)家對香港及巴黎兩地的一連串思念與回憶。
謝淑婷在她的創(chuàng)作自述中表示，很多旅人總愛收集“紀(jì)念品”作為留念，保存?zhèn)€人的經(jīng)歷，並讓身邊的人分享其旅程的回憶。
現(xiàn)正修讀博士學(xué)位的她，去年在香港法國文化協(xié)會藝術(shù)家基金資助下，曾遊藝法國一個(gè)月，她把這旅程的經(jīng)歷，溶入於她的作品中，顯現(xiàn)香港與巴黎於地域與文化上的差異，用她的作品具象地一一記存下來。
精藝軒畫廊位於中環(huán)嘉咸街35號地舖（近荷李活道與擺花街交界）。如欲訪問藝術(shù)家或查詢展覽的詳情可電郵< dyiu@artbeatus.com.hk>或致電 2522.1138向Dominic Chan 或2526.0818向Josephine Hau查詢。
畫廊開放時(shí)間：星期一至六 11:30am-7:30pm 星期日及公眾假期休息。
藝術(shù)家自述：
很多旅人總愛收集“紀(jì)念品”作為留念，保存?zhèn)€人的經(jīng)歷，並讓身邊的人分享其旅程的回憶。從古至今，陶瓷這種能耐久保存的物料，常被用來製作工藝品，人們用以紀(jì)念某個(gè)時(shí)空、某個(gè)地域的文化，於考古及歷史上亦別具意義。
"French Landscape"中，藝術(shù)家謝淑婷把從巴黎搜集回來的物件及拍攝的景像用來製作新系列的作品，當(dāng)中陶瓷仍用作紀(jì)錄記憶的物料，繼續(xù)採討“記憶 痕跡” 的意念。從香港到巴黎，謝淑婷以“異客”的遊走經(jīng)驗(yàn)，把兩地不同區(qū)域、文化特質(zhì)，同時(shí)表現(xiàn)於作品中。
"French Landscape"中沒有實(shí)質(zhì)的法國風(fēng)景，只是用搜集回來的物品作隱喻製作法國遊記，取替文字，當(dāng)中亦暗示人、物與地區(qū)之間的連繫。

Press Release
Sara Tse continues her artistic journey down the memory lane, preserving fragments of reminiscences and experiences with her works. In French Landscape - Connection and Collection, Tse gives an account of her conceptual interpretations of France.
Tse is a talented Hong Kong artist and her works have received many acclaims, including a grant from the Fonds des Artistes de L’Alliance Fran?aise. She spent about a month last year in France to heighten her inspirations for this exhibition.
French Landscape: Connection and Collection is an exhibition event of Le French May programmes of this year and the exhibition is sponsored by Alliance Fran?aise of Hong Kong.
In this exhibition, Tse hopes to further pursuit the idea of “memory-traces” and the idea of commemoration, in an effort to connect two distinctively different cultures together with her works. She has indicated that her new works and installations bear little physical resemblances to the title – landscape, but rich in artistic interpretations.
Art Beatus Gallery’s new exhibition space is located at 35-37 Graham Street, Ground Floor, Central, Hong Kong (near the junction of Hollywood Road and Lyndhurst Terrace). For further information about this exhibition or for interviewing the artist, you can e-mail us at dyiu@artbeatus.com.hk or call either Dominic Chan at 2522-1138 or Josephine
Hau at 2526-0818.

Artist’s statement:
“French Landscape: Connection and Collection”
It is human nature to desire to preserve a unique personal experience. Travellers throughout history have returned with ‘souvenirs’ in commemoration of and desire to both retain and share a memory of their experiences. Ceramic artefacts are considered to be uniquely significant in an archaeological and historical context as a means of providing important clues and memories of the way of life of cultures and civilisations throughout the ages.
The project “French Landscape: Connection and Collection” aims to further investigate the idea of ‘memory-traces’ and the idea of commemoration. My intention will be to construct a new series of works from collected objects that directly relate to my experience as an‘outsider’, traversing two distinctly different geographical and cultural regions with their own specific and unique cultural signifiers.
The project does not intend to commemorate this experience via literal representation of the physical landscape but rather to create a metaphorical landscape created by means of a “membrane memory” of objects that signify and form a connection between people and place.
