HART Hub #13: “Out of Syllabus Salon" with Law Man Lok 羅文樂「化外沙龍—東歐文藝二三事」
A salon is not a teaching course, but a cultural gathering for sharing ideas and making friends of similar interests. This salon will be led by guest art practitioners to share topics ranging from Kazimir Malevich’s Suprematism, Czech New Wave films, and the fictions of Bruno Schulz. This will be a cosy gathering for all-levels and all will co-learn during discussions. Reading materials will be provided beforehand and we highly encourage you to participate in all three sessions as a complete cultural journey.
沙龍不是教學課程，而是希望參與者都分享想法、認識同好的文藝聚會。沙龍會將由藝術工作者嘉賓分享馬列維奇的至上主義、捷克新浪潮電影以及布魯諾・舒爾茨的小說等題目。這將是一個氣氛輕鬆、深入淺出的聚會，希望與參加者從討論中切磋琢磨。我們會提供事前閱讀材料。我們強烈推薦你參與完整三節的沙龍獲取完整體驗。
HART Hub #9 | THE MEMORY MAKER
We all keep old or damaged clothes in the closet in the hope to wear them again someday or because they bring up special memories. The workshop “THE MEMORY MAKER” invites you to celebrate these memories and refashion your pieces of clothes stuck in the closet with embroidery.
You are to bring a memorable picture of yours, to be translated into a computer language through a programme devised by the artists, to become the embroidery patterns of your unique artwork. You will then be taught an traditional Japanese embroidery technique, “sashiko”, to transfer the generated pattern on your old clothes.
The workshop is led by Noémie Clavier, a multi-disciplinary artist; and Yasmina Viale-Fraine, a fashion designer. The participants will explore how embroidery is not only a technique, but also a craft, a mindfulness practice, and an art practice to channel your precious memories and emotions.
我們都將舊或破損的衣服放在衣櫃裡，希望有一天再穿一次，或是因為它們帶來了特殊的回憶。 工作坊《MEMORY MAKER》邀請您慶祝這些回憶，重塑你長駐衣櫃裡的布料。
工作坊中你可以攜帶一張記念性的圖像，並利用一個由藝術家設計的電腦程序轉化為程式語言，成為你獨特作品的刺繡圖樣。藝術家隨後將教授傳統的日本刺繡技巧「刺子」，將生成的圖樣轉移至舊布料上。
工作坊將由兩位法國藝術家帶領：Noémie Clavier是一位多媒介藝術家；而Yasmina Viale-Fraine是一位時裝設計師。參加者將發現刺繡不單是一個技巧，還是一門工藝、正念練習，和一個可以連繫你珍貴回憶和感情的藝術創作。

HART HUB #8 | The Archive and I
The workshop “The Archive and I” aims to expand ideas around the archive, the limits, potential, and look at an archive as a departure point in one’s practice. The workshop is split into 2 sections, where an artist talk will cover contemporary modes of activating archives, including examples from contemporary artists and why they choose to use archives in the form of photographs, found film footage, and documents and texts to support their work. The latter part of the workshop will include a hands-on session with participants to build an archive as well as link the images from the collective pool of images into various self-driven narratives to make a body of work, to realize and construct possibilities from the archive itself. The workshop looks to view an archive as a means of not only preserving the past but also about modes of sharing the common.
工作坊《The Archive and I》希望拓展檔案（Archive）的概念、界限，以及潛能，並將檔案視為實踐的起點。工作坊分為兩部分，首先藝術家將分享檔案的現今應用模式，包括以當代藝術家為例，探討他們為何決定使用照片、尋獲片段、文件和文本等等的檔案來支持他們的作品。而工作坊的後半段中，參加者將動手建立檔案、以及連結集體的影像，創造自己的敍述和建立作品，全因檔案而得以實現。這個工作坊嘗試將檔案不只是看待成過往的紀錄，更是一種分享共同點的模式。

HART Hub#3 | A SHARING BY ART PRACTITIONERS IN HONG KONG
As the arts and cultural scene in Hong Kong proliferates, it has never been an easy journey for many local practitioners in the field. No matter whether you are an artist, an art administrator, or a representative from an art initiative/non-profit organisation, one needs to pass through many hurdles in order to see the fruits ripen. From content creation, seeking resources, to planning and execution of cultural events, as well as maintaining different kinds of spaces/institutions/organisations, how do we survive for the identities and roles we chose to take for ourselves? What are our priorities and values?
HART has the pleasure to be able to invite three insiders of the field to share with us their own stories and lessons learnt. Speakers of the evening include:
Jaime Chong, independent artist in Hong Kong, currently participant of our Social Studio project (Hausian)
Susi Law, cultural engineer of Art & Cultural Outreach, also an artist and curator
Jeannie Wu, director of HART Collective, also director of Hong Kong Archives Society, arts advisor
Date: July 19, 2019 (Friday)
Time: 7pm-9pm
Venue: HART Haus, 3/F, Cheung Hing Industrial Building, 12P Smithfield, Kennedy Town, Hong Kong
Language: Cantonese
Free admission

HART Hub#1 | WALK
“I would like to share the importance for me to walk. To find inspiration of course, but also to discover or to rediscover a place thanks to art installation. In my opinion, art must be an experience. Literally walking through the idea of someone is simply magic.” - Raphaële de Broissia
French artist Raphaële de Broissia will be our host of the very first HART Hub session - ‘WALK’.
What does walking mean to you? For de Broissia, walking is more than a physical action, it is also mental and transcending - it is where her art begins.
Join us for a WALK, and let’s learn more about art as an experience.
Date: June 6, 2019 (Thursday)
Time: 7pm-9pm
Venue: HART Haus, 3/F, Cheung Hing Industrial Building, 12P Smithfield, Kennedy Town, Hong Kong

「我想分享走路的重要性——當然，以作為靈感來源；同時多虧裝置藝術，能用以發掘或重新探索一個地方。
我認為藝術必須是一種體驗。漫步於別人的想法之中，感覺非常奇妙。」—— Raphaële de Broissia
我們首場HART Hub交流會 —— ‘WALK’ 將由法國藝術家Raphaële de Broissia主持。
於你而言，步行是甚麼？對de Brossia來說，步行不止是一個動作，它更牽涉精神層面上的超脫 ——
是她藝術創作的起源。
讓我們一同散個步，並更多了解藝術的體驗。
