“Mastermind 2 -Having No Heir?”
21/9-14/10/2012
From
the very beginning, ‘There is no another master but another apprentice’ is
the motto for all masters in all kind of profession. Today, the masters in the
industry of Chinese traditional handcraft strongly agree with ‘Having No
Heir......’. For examples, The Master of Chinese Traditional Paper Floral
Panels - Mr. Wong Nai Chung, The Master of Tin Craft - Mr. Cheung Hin Chi, The
Master of Piu Sik (Floating Colours) - Mr. Au Lay Kwei and The Master of
Chinese Traditional Paper Craft (Sacrificial Paper Offering) - Mr. Au Yeung Wai
Kuen, were all either once an apprentice or a self-learner. In the exhibition
“Mastermind 2 -Having No Heir?”, it illustrates how they started from being an
apprentice and gradually became masters. And eventually, how they have all kind
of unique skills while they’re getting ready to retire. You can also see how
they pass their traditional skills in this inconstant and full of ‘instant
culture’ century to the next generation.
Woofer
Ten, the only community art and culture space in Hong Kong, held “Mastermind 1”
2 years ago. “Mastermind 1” displayed and discovered the masters’ very
practical and unique daily traditional community handcraft skills on Shanghai
Street. It definitely rearranged the layout of the esthetics on traditional
handcraft in Yau Ma Tei. And we’re glad that it was well received. This year,
we want to keep up the good job and hold another exhibition “Mastermind 2
-Having No Heir?”. It is curated by young art and culture planner Cheung King
Wai, Reds and artist, Leung Mee Ping, who continually pay close attention to
how the traditional handicraft culture pass on to the next generation. In this
exhibition, we hope that you can explore more on the oral history and hidden
secret of the esthetics on traditional handicraft. Simultaneously, we want to
emphasize the catalytic effect on humanity in traditional handcraft so as to
evoke the concern and study of it more generally.
The
facial expressions and voices, life experiences and the good old stories from
four masters are all demonstrated in the exhibition. This proposal is consigned
by Lam, Kin Hun (Joel), Lecturer of Department of Cinema & Television
in Hong Kong Baptist University. Joel is also the director, cameraman and the
film editor for this exhibition. He put all 4 interviews together and made this
documentary video.
The
video will be played at the exhibition for the very first time. We will also
display some documents and private photo albums from the masters in traditional
handicraft.
When
you are wandering on Shanghai Street, you probably will bump into a lot of
masters. “Mastermind 2 -Having No Heir?” in Woofer Ten can definitely show you
the humanity of it from inside out. Let’s keep the traditional handicraft up
together!
