HONG KONG - The upcoming Art@Harbour project is set to transform Tamar Park and the Central and Western District Promenade into a mesmerizing display of art and light. Created by the renowned international art collective teamLab, the installation will feature numerous luminous ovoids that will illuminate the area from March 25 to June 2. It is estimated that this extraordinary event will attract an astounding two million visitors.
In addition to teamLab's installations, the Leisure and Cultural Services Department has collaborated with local artists and groups to showcase outdoor art installations. Vincent Liu Ming-kwong, the director of the department, expressed great enthusiasm about this partnership.
The egg-shaped exhibits symbolize the interconnectedness of life with the world, captivating visitors with their ever-changing colors and sounds. As guests interact with the exhibits, the adorned trees in the park will respond with synchronized lights and sounds, creating a dynamic and immersive experience.
To accommodate the expected influx of visitors, the department has organized nine sessions per night, running from 6:30 PM to 11:00 PM. Each session will last for 30 minutes, ensuring ample time for everyone to enjoy the art. To enhance the visitor experience, individuals interested in the exhibits at the lawn area in Tamar Park will have the option to pre-book their sessions for the upcoming week through the convenient Klook system, starting next Monday. Each person is allowed to reserve one session per day, with each reservation granting entry for two individuals.
In collaboration with the Sino Group, the department will present "Chromaflux," a magnificent digital art installation created by five groups of artists from Germany, France, the Czech Republic, and Hong Kong. This awe-inspiring large-scale installation can be found at the Sino LuminArt Facade of Tsim Sha Tsui Centre and Empire Centre in Tsim Sha Tsui.
In celebration of the 100th anniversary of the birth of the renowned Chinese wuxia novelist Louis Cha Leung-yung, known by his pen name Jin Yong, the LCSD has organized various commemorative activities. One of the highlights is an exhibition at the Hong Kong Heritage Museum, running from Saturday to October 7. This exhibition will showcase sculptures of 22 characters from five of Jin Yong's iconic novels.
Director Brian Lam Kwok-faim expressed, "This is the first officially authorized exhibition of Jin Yong's martial arts character sculptures. It is a unique opportunity as Hong Kong is where Jin Yong's novels were written and published." As a generous gesture, Cha's family will donate a bust of the novelist to the museum, which will be permanently displayed in the Jin Yong Gallery.
Additionally, the French May Arts Festival will commence earlier than in previous years to coincide with the M+ events and art exhibitions happening in March. This vibrant festival will feature over 100 arts and cultural programs, including music, dance, and theater, providing a diverse and engaging experience for all attendees.
Overall, the upcoming art events and exhibitions in Hong Kong promise to captivate and inspire visitors, offering a rich cultural experience that celebrates both local and international artistic talent.
據預計將有200萬人參觀海濱燈光和聲音盛會
即將舉行的Art@Harbour項目將把添馬公園和中西區長廊變成一場令人驚嘆的藝術和燈光展示。這個由國際知名藝術集體teamLab創作的裝置將於3月25日至6月2日期間展出，預計將吸引200萬名遊客。
除了teamLab的裝置外，康樂及文化事務署還與本地藝術家和團體合作，展示戶外藝術裝置。該署署長廖明光對此合作表示極大的熱情。
這些蛋形展品象徵著生命與世界的密切聯繫，以其不斷變換的顏色和聲音吸引遊客。當遊客與展品互動時，公園裡的樹木也會以同步的燈光和聲音回應，營造出一個動態而身臨其境的體驗。
為應對預期湧入的遊客，該署每晚組織了九場次，從晚上6時30分至11時。每個場次持續30分鐘，確保每個人都有足夠的時間享受藝術。為了增強遊客體驗，有興趣在添馬公園草坪區參觀的人士可以在下週一開始通過便捷的Klook系統預訂他們下週的場次。每個人每天只能預訂一個場次，每個預訂可允許兩人進入。
該署還與信和集團合作，在尖沙咀的信和光藝外牆及帝國中心呈獻了由德國、法國、捷克共和國和香港五個藝術家團體創作的壯觀數碼藝術裝置“Chromaflux”。
為了慶祝著名武俠小說家查良鏞（筆名金庸）誕辰100週年，康文署安排了多項紀念活動。其中一個亮點是香港文化博物館的展覽，從本週六持續到10月7日，展示了來自金庸五本經典小說中的22個人物雕塑。
該博物館館長林國芬表示：“這是金庸武俠角色雕塑的首次正式授權展覽。這是一個獨特的機會，因為香港是金庸小說的創作和出版地。”作為一個慷慨的舉動，查家將捐贈一尊金庸的半身像，永久展示在金庸館內。
此外，法國五月藝術節將提前舉行，以配合三月份的M+活動和藝術展覽。這個充預香港將舉行的活躍的節慶將呈現超過100個藝術和文化項目，包括音樂、舞蹈和戲劇，為所有參與者提供多樣性和引人入勝的體驗。
總的來說，香港即將舉辦的藝術活動和展覽將迷住並激發遊客，提供一個豐富的文化體驗，同時慶祝本地和國際藝術人才。
