Positioning at Kowloon City District, five groups of artists who focus on the crafts of metal, ceramics and woodwork, takes Craft as a media for connections and communications. Artists aim to explore the values of craftsmanship in the Kowloon City District, and even the entire Hong Kong society today by different means including community participations, artist-in-residence, reuse of natural resources, the collection of stories and the experience of space.
This exhibition aims to project and record these five groups of artists on how they use craftsmanship to connect “people”, “happenings”, “places” and “objects” – as a way to think about who we are and how we should live, presenting the unique features of craftsmanship in Hong Kong and discovering the different aspects and values in between.
