About the Residency 關於家駐
Rivers of remembering, to the forgotten land 河流中銘記，土地上遺失
Looking for memories never lived from the land never stepped on, the time spent in the artist residency follows the Vltava River.
Through bodily recollection of a foreign land filled with unlived histories and indirect experiences, an atmosphere will be constructed through an installation of weaving threads, braiding beads, and fragmented drawings, among which moving images from reflections in Hong Kong and the Vltava River in Prague conversing in gaps of the space. Materials, reflections, and bodily encounters are placed in exchange, brewing kinship with layered memories.
“She wanted to see the Vltava.”
Your Spring is scattered over our Summer. Your hair joined with my hair. Her gaze tangled with your gaze. Unknown memories boil with unspoken words. I offer a river in search, rivers to be collected, and forgotten.
“To know we stray like a river and our faces vanish like water.”
在陌生的土地上尋找未曾經驗的記憶，這段藝術駐地的時間將順著伏爾塔瓦河流動。
以肉身潛入異國他鄉的歷史與二手經驗，此拾遺過程將融入由如編髮一般的勾線所組成的裝置作品中；玻璃珠與速寫碎片穿梭於勾線裡，從香港城市空間和布拉格伏爾塔瓦河中收集的流動影像在縫隙中交錯。物質、映像、與肉身觸覺共存於開放的交流場域之中，醞釀著打破記憶界限的親緣。
「她想看看伏爾塔瓦河。」
你的春天散落於我們的夏天。你的髮絲連著我的髮絲。她的目光勾著你的目光。未知的記憶在未曾訴說的言語中沸騰。我獻上一條始終在尋找的河流，關於許多被拾獲又遺忘的河流們。
「要知道我們就像河流一去不復返一張張臉孔水一樣掠過。」
About the Artist-in-Residence 關於駐地藝術家
Melody Qingmei Li is an artist and writer based in Hong Kong. She constantly edits and translates threads of memories and the present, some of which grow into forms of writing while others are woven into various mediums including drawings, paintings, moving images, objects, and sculptures. She treats artistic practice as simple daily exercises to resist the spreading of amnesia and aphasia, and meanwhile to create possibilities for moments of resonance. She is interested in liminal spaces between the natural and the artificial, the body and the mind, and the individual and the system.
李清美是一位藝術家和寫作者，生活工作於香港。她於記憶與當下之間編輯轉譯，有些成文，有些線頭則織入豐富媒介之中，如圖像光影或物件雕塑。她視創作為日復一日的簡單耕作，以此抵抗失憶與失語的病毒蔓延，亦是為共鳴的瞬間埋下種子。自然與人造、肉體與思維、個體與系統中的臨界空間令她著迷。

An International Artist Exchange with Artist and Curator Lenka Bakes
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。

About the Artist-in-Residence 關於駐場藝術家
Lenka Bakes (b.1990) is an artist, curator, and director of the art festival Prague Art Week, who is well recognised in the contemporary art scene in the Czech Republic and Europe. She obtained a master’s degree from the Faculty of Art and Design at Jan Evangelista Purkyně University, where she studied in the Studio of Photography and Intermedia headed by Professor Pavel Baňka. She has exhibited in progressive galleries such as Like A Little Disaster in Italy, Below Grand Gallery in New York, and MeetFactory and Kvalitář in Prague. Her work was presented in the collective exhibitions Co-existence /symbiosis/ in Brussels and Symbiosis 2.0 in Hong Kong in spring 2023 as the VIP programme of Art Basel Hong Kong. She is represented by the Prague gallery Berlinskej Model, and her works are featured in the PPF ART Collection. As a writer, she is a regular contributor of Czech and international media such as VOGUE, ELLE, and Forbes, and she has managed several major international cultural events.
Lenka Bakes（生於 1990 年）是一位藝術家兼策展人，亦是藝術節「布拉格藝術週」的負責人，在捷克共和國和歐洲的當代藝術領域頗負盛名。她曾在Pavel Baňka教授所帶領的攝影與多媒體工作室學習，並取得了Jan Evangelista Purkyně大學藝術與設計學院的碩士學位。她曾在意大利的Like A Little Disaster、紐約的Below Grand Gallery以及布拉格的MeetFactory和Kvalitář等前衛畫廊展出。她曾參與布魯塞爾的「Co-existence /symbiosis/ 」聯展，並於2023年春季在香港舉辦了Symbiosis 2.0聯展，該展覽是巴塞爾藝術展香港展會的貴賓項目之一。她是布拉格Berlínskej Model畫廊旗下的藝術家，作品被PPF ART Collection收藏。身為作家，她是VOGUE、ELLE和Forbes等捷克和國際媒體的常任撰稿人，她亦管理過多個大型國際文化活動。
In her spiritually archaeological work, Lenka Bakes analyses the layers that surround us in the material and immaterial world. Her work is formally based on the medium of photography, which she layers, bends, and deconstructs to achieve a multiplicity of perspectives. In terms of content, she constructs a perspective in her images that contains both internal and external reflections of reality. Her series of collages Adaptus, depicting inter-animal mutations, was created as part of her work with the artist group DUNA (2016–2022). Her series of three self-portraits, also titled Adaptus (2017–2023), in which she explores the permeability of the body and conscious epigenetics, is influenced by transcendental experiences during compassionate meditations. In her most recent series, Adaptus Archeology, Bakes confronts the dimensions of our self-reflection against a backdrop of myth, history, space, and the tangible memory of the city. These insights are inspired by her observations in cosmopolitan cities such as Hong Kong, Naples, and New York.
Lenka Bakes在她的精神考古學作品中，分析了物質世界和非物質世界中圍繞著我們的各個層面。她的作品以攝影為媒介，透過層疊、彎曲和解構圖像構築觀點，以多重視角反映出現實裡外的意義。她與藝術家團體 DUNA（2016-2022）合作的作品之一 ——《Adaptus》拼貼系列，描繪了動物間的基因變異。她的三聯畫系列也命名為《Adaptus》（2017-2023），靈感源自冥想所帶來的超常體驗，她探索了身體的滲透性和意識上的表觀遺傳學。在她近期的系列作品《Adaptus Archeology》中，Bakes在神話、歷史、空間和城市有形記憶的背景下，直面各個自我反思的面向。在香港、拿坡里和紐約等國際大都市的觀察啟發了她的哲思。
