In collaboration with Prague Art Week, HART is delighted to announce an International Artist Exchange with artist and curator Lenka Bakes (b.1990, Czech Republic). During her artist residency at HART Haus, Bakes will present an Open Studio exhibiting a series of work based on her observation and field research in Hong Kong, in which one's self is intertwined with the vast tapestry of human history and culture. With a distinct vision of spiritual archeology that oscillates between internal introspection and external interpretations of reality, Lenka Bakes confronts the dimensions of our self-reflection against a backdrop of myth, history, space, and the tangible memory of the city. These influences converge to shape our reality and have continued to find its expressions in our cityscape and the daily surroundings. Working with photographs, literary snippets, artefacts, and natural objects, the artist dissects and reconstructs reality intertwined with the memory of the city and its inhabitants.

聯同布拉格藝術週𢹂手合作，HART榮幸宣布與藝術家兼策展人Lenka Bakes（生於1990年，捷克共和國）進行國際藝術家交流。在HART Haus工作室駐留期間，藝術家將根據於香港的考察和實地研究創作一系列的新作品，並於工作室開放期間展示其獨特的視野以及源自歷史文化的豐富脈絡。 以獨特的精神考古學視角岀發，Lenka Bakes遊走於對現實的內在反省和外在詮釋之間，並以神話、歷史、空間和城市有形記憶等背景下，直面各個自我反思的面向。這些面向塑造了我們的現實生活，並不斷體現在城市景觀和日常環境之中。透過攝影、隨筆書寫、收集人造及自然物件，藝術家剖析和重構了這些元素，以探索由城市和居民記憶所交織而成的層層現實。
