Plastic free life style: for the future, for the children
It's an interesting exhibition, open to public till 30 June.
Plastic, plastic, every where! reflects the artist’s continuous concerns over ecological and environmental issues. It is hoped that the large-scale display of works at HKUST Arts Festival will evoke the audience’s imagination of an energy saving and plastic-free life style.
Plastic plastic, every where! portrays a dystopian future where a frenzy of human plastic consumption (e.g., life saver donuts, telephone hotdogs) leads us past the point of no return. This global craze originates from the 2084 annual meeting of the Great Five Industrial Nations. At this meeting, the delegate from the imaginary country of Contradictoria (in the form of a pig) proposes that if animals can learn to eat plastic, why can’t children?
This joint exhibition between the HKUST (Hong Kong University of Science and Technology) Library and Center for the Arts features new and never-been-shown works from Fung’s award-winning series Plastic, plastic, every where!, including a site-specific forty-foot mural, large hanging scrolls, the complete short film and over thirty original paintings.
Michelle Fung Kuen Suet’s Plastic, plastic, every where! began with the award-winning drawing installation at Hong Kong Baptist University’s Master of Visual Arts Graduation Exhibition a few years ago. The art form and content of the series have been expanding ever since, from painting, short film to illustrated book, which has been selected as one of the 50 best books for secondary school students, crossing the boundaries between visual arts and literature. The series combines ink paintings seamlessly with a fable-styled sci-fi worldview. With the fine use of Hong Kong-style expressions, the works present a unique visual style and aesthetics.
