(Original) 原味
This project aimed to invite art graduates from different institutions, under the premise of showing their non-graduation-work through an open call
and encouraging them to share their distinct realisation of“original”. It can gather as a temporary archive that invites the audience to randomly share the interpretation, analysis and discussion of different“Original”.
37 artworks with different mediums joined together in WURE AREA are all from different standpoints of local emerging artists, whose works witnessed the trace of struggles. The works’concepts may focus on personal propositions, simple tests on materials, freeflow creation or just showing different perspectives of interaction with mediums. These created diversity in the temporary archive of
“Original”. These (orignal) are impermanent and shift by time, hard to preserve. Archive of it, an eternal memory that can be elongated, is not specific to time and space. Every artist’s experience through their growth can bring them to different focus points, styles and other artistic stances. After the graduation show, artists look back and reflect on their decisions, creative needs and reasons of art practice.
New flavours of “Original” are being discovered continually. Like blue cheese, not all people are fond of its strong flavour while lovers can’t resist. This time, all flavours are mixed together and united as a feast in a macroscopic view.
原味來自哪裏?是專屬的、命定的?原味是甚麼?是一種工具、一種紀錄?能從五感中發掘 到它，就好像找到了繼續遊走於藝術的嚮導。
是次計劃以近年不同院校的畢業生為對象，以展示非畢業作品為前題，公開徵收作品，鼓勵分享各自意會的（原味），由此聚集成一個紀錄原味的臨時檔案庫，邀請觀者從中自行新增資料㚒，隨意寫下演繹、分析和討論各個原味的筆記，成為作品故事們的分支。
37件不同媒介的作品聚集於WURE AREA，皆來自本地年輕藝術家各自獨有的視點，見證 他們掙扎的痕跡。專注於一直探究的個人命題、單純地對物料與媒介進行試驗、以輕鬆的 角度隨心創作、純粹地展現與媒介的互動等角度，促成這(原味)臨時檔案庫的多樣性。原 味看似是不可變的單次產物，但其實一直在發展亦容許再加以改寫或應用。原味的紀錄並 不局限於時間與空間，對此的保存是各人可加以永續的記憶。每份作品都儲存着他們在學 習歷程中對藝術的個人解構，展示了年輕藝術家隨年歲孕育的着眼點，喜好和背景促成了 其風格及藝術取態上的差異。經過畢業展覽後，藝術家們回顧自己的決擇，共同對創作的 需求及因由進行反思。
原味將會繼續被發掘和開墾，會像藍芝士般，即使不受人人喜愛，仍依舊在各個時代的四季中發酵，味道特殊且濃烈，總會有人淺嘗一口。各種獨有的味道現於同一餐桌上，散發着 屬於這個時刻的（原味）。
