T hrough the co llaboration of v arious institutions

particular patronage, an ex hibition is being

bu ilding stimulates - it is full of associations and
atmosphere, yet the space and the colloborative
organisation offer the artists a special freedom to
create and to exhibit their creations.
In a sense, the artists in this exhibition are alw ays
w orking out of contex t - displaced in a cultural climate
that is often indifferent to their activities. T his also
applies to the pub lic funding bod ies w here there is a
serious lack of support ( w hich does not hav e to befinancial) for the v isual arts in current policy . Indiv idua l
galler ies and pr iv ately funded o rganisations like the
Hong Kong A rts Centre are simply unable to fill the gap
and promote contemporary arts as they w ould w ish.
Leading up to the ex hibition , a ser ies of meetings are
being held, w here the artists and those w orking in sup
port of the ex hibition can com e together. V isiting
artists, administrators and w riters are w elcome to
attend these meetings or to use the grouping as a net
w orking facility w hile in Hong Kong. W e are alsohop ing to inv ite m embers of the international arts press
to v isit Hong Kong in October.
W e are try ing not only to encourag e loca l interest, but
also to dev elop artistic links w ith the U S and Europe to
improve international aw areness of the v isual arts in
Hong Kong. It is hoped that through The 15 Kennedy
Road Ex hibition, opportunities for exhibitions overseas
w ill be generated.

T he A ge of the Bohem ia is over. T he artist,inc lud ing the avant- garde ones, had gained
acceptance in this late- modern world. A nd
intervention had been reduced to a stultified pattern
of life. N ow that the modern city had learned to
dispense its favors to a ll the w hining parties. W hat
rem ains is s iill the pract ica l/spiritual question.
In the backdrop all hopes and desires seem
dam ned an d unreal. To see a connection between all
these fragments is to w alk a tight- rope tow ards clarity ,
or j ust further confusion.
