On Duration

綿延之上

​

“On Duration” presents self-commissioned works of eight emerging artists, collectively responding to the philosophical conundrum of “the trolley problem.” Each departing from a different angle, their practice spans painting, print-making, sculpture, videography and installation, delving into the most basic but paradoxical concepts underneath this hypothetical dilemma. Just like how French philosopher Henri Bergson designates time as the uncountable, indivisible duration, artists in this exhibition roam between the topics of life, time and eternity, reflecting on the socio-political significance behind the ordinary. Their practice focuses on the immeasurable elements in life, and together presenting interesting thoughts evoked by the everyday surroundings. “On Duration” is on view through 6 to 25 September 2019, at the AVA gallery, Kai Tak campus.

​

「綿延之上」展出八名新興藝術家的自我委任作品，共同回應「有軌電車問題」這一哲學難題。藝術家們的創作從不同的角度出發，跨越繪畫、版畫、雕塑、錄像和裝置等媒介，探究了這個假設的困境之下，那些最基本但又自相矛盾的概念。正如法國哲學家亨利·柏格森將時間定義為不可度量與分割的綿延（Durée）一樣，本次展覽的藝術家們也在生命、時間和永恆的主題之間游走，反思習以為常的生活細節背後蘊含的社會政治意義。他們的實踐聚焦生命中難以估量的元素，呈現由週遭事物引發的多樣化的有趣想法。「綿延之上」將於2019年9月6日至25日在啓德校園視覺藝術院畫廊展出。
