PLM’s primary goal is to explore different dimensions of communication and inquire into how understandings are reached. We use art as a communicative tool in order to foster a sense of commonality and intimacy despite diversity, and, in doing so, to overcome language barriers, particularly those between the Hearing and Deaf worlds, while raising awareness about Hong Kong Sign Language, Deaf culture, and linguistic identities. We work with a range of art media, e.g., performance, installation, painting, drawing, and video.

點·線/意！ 的主要目標是探索溝通的不同層面，同時探究如何達到互相「理解」。以藝術作為溝通工具 — 促進共同性和親切感，克服多樣性。在此過程中試圖解破語言障礙，尤其在健聽和聾人世界之間的障礙，同時值此提升社會對香港手語、聾文化和語言身份的認識。我們使用的藝術媒介包括行爲藝術、裝置、繪畫、素描和錄像。 的主要目標是探索溝通的不同層面，同時探究如何達到互相「理解」。以藝術作為溝通工具 — 促進共同性和親切感，克服多樣性。在此過程中試圖解破語言障礙，尤其在健聽和聾人世界之間的障礙，同時值此提升社會對香港手語、聾文化和語言身份的認識。我們使用的藝術媒介包括行爲藝術、裝置、繪畫、素描和錄像。

We are thrilled to bring to you our first Social Studio Showcase in 2022. “Trans/versal”, an open-ended idea that speaks about our individual experiences connected through a shared community, suggesting that beyond culture and place there is a common line that allows for shared human experience and our need for community that transcends artificial borders.

Thirteen of our HART Social Studio Programme artists will present their works, oscillating from paintings, sculptures, and installations, all created throughout the artists’ day-to-day art-marking in HART Haus.

我們很高興為帶來2022年第一個HART匯舍展示！《Trans/versal》是一個開放的概念，訴說我們透過共享社區而連繫的個人經驗。主題亦暗示了一條超越文化和地域的共享線，容許人文經驗和社群需求跨過本為虛構的界線。

十三位HART匯舍的藝術家將展示他們在HART Haus 日常創作的成果，當中包括繪畫、雕塑、裝置藝術等。

“The Struggle toward the heights is enough to fill a man's heart. One must imagine Sisyphus happy.” - Albert Camus, The Myth of Sisyphus.

The global pandemic reshuffled our daily physical lives which led to a whole new inward discovery of the most fundamental self in the digital age. By demonstrating the omnipresent lingering of a "corporate world", the show wants to amplify the astonishment of the spectator by creating the compositions. The constant disagreement between our conscious and subconscious mind comes into dialogue in art creation, and in the process, a conflict resolved in composition. Public-___ (ex. housing, good, discourse, etc.). What does it mean for something to be public in Hong Kong? There are a lot of memories that do not exist and even the actual realised memory could be not real or just the edit someone chooses to believe. Modern art is getting ridiculous. “Really, my painting feels like an explosion of my hidden fear, including anger and lust these days.” She crossed her heart and rolled the dice. Can you come out on top on a hand dealt by Destiny?

「向高處奮鬥，足以填滿一個人的心。人們必須想像西西弗斯是快樂的。」–阿爾伯特·加繆《西西弗斯的神話》

全球大流行改變了我們的日常生活，導致了對數字時代最基本的自我的全新內在發現。通過展示無處不在的「企業世界」，該展覽希望通過創作作品來放大觀眾的驚訝。我們的意識和潛意識之間不斷的分歧在藝術創作中進入對話，在這個過程中，衝突在構圖上得到解決。公共–＿（例如住房、商品、話語等）。公共在香港意味著什麼？有很多記憶並不存在，甚至真實的記憶也可能不是真實的，或只是某人選擇相信的蒙太奇。現代藝術越來越荒謬了。「真的，我的畫感覺就像是我隱藏恐懼的爆發，包括近期的憤怒和慾望。」她越過心扉擲出骰子。你能在命運的牌上脫穎而出嗎？

How does each of us regard art spaces and cultural groups to play a role (or not) as part of our lives? 

Since its establishment, HART has been reflecting upon these questions around the nature of art spaces and their functions. Our signature programme HART Social Studio is usually referred to as a creative studio physically, but for many it is more: a community established by creative talents, a happening or occasion, a program or experimental project... or, somewhere and something yet to be defined --- an entity that yet to be shaped could be a crucial element for its current development.

In May this year, HART invites you to Space Shuffler - Imagining Creative Communities, a presentation that combines an audience-led reflective journey on art spaces and their inextricable relationship with the creative communities they house, as well as a showcase of latest works created and presented by Hausians (artists) of HART Social Studio. The latest commissioned work of our Open Call winner will also be shown for the first time in this presentation, answering to the narrative via creativity itself while creating conversation with talents from the city.

Space Shuffler - Imagining Creative Communities also comes with an exciting programme of arts and cultural events, ranging from talks, to guided tours and workshops led by HART and Hausians, as well as our creative friends and partners.

藝術空間與文化團體在我們各人心目中擔當着甚麼份量和定位？

自成立以來，HART一直反思有關藝術空間的本質與其用途。我們的重點項目「 HART匯舍 」常被視為一個實體創作工作室，但對於很多人來說，它的存在不僅止於此：它是創意人才所組成的社群、是個發生不同節目的地方、亦是個講求實驗性的項目、計劃……不將這裡定性、定位或下定義，都是其現時重要方向之一。

今個五月開始，HART誠意邀請你來參加「移形換影—創意社群的想像」。這次項目融合一趟由觀眾主導、反思藝術空間與其創意社群之密切關連的旅程，還有「HART匯舍」藝術家Hausians最新作品的展示。除此以外，我們公開徵件的優勝者也將首次展出其委任作品，透過創意回應這次的主題，並與一眾在地藝術人才對話。

「移形換影—創意社群的想像」展示期間將會舉行一系列精彩的文藝活動，包括由HART、並Hausians和我們的創意伙伴所主持的座談會、導賞團和工作坊。

HART 匯舍展示《#Ew! Normal?》將是一場拜訪創意工作室的刺激體驗—在這裡17個藝術家背景各異，協力探索藝術創作，並共構創意社群。這場工作室展示將探討在「社交距離」的時代中，何謂「社交」。
