"ART NAHA" - Urban Exhibition (AIO, 沖繩, 日本)

03/12/2022 - 18/12/2022

ART NAHA is a cooperation between AIO (Art Initiative Okinawa) and Naha Cultural Arts Theater "NAHArt" and the venue will not be a white cube like art museum, but rather the stores, parks, and vacant spaces around Naha's central districts.

Participating artists will engage an intensive dialog with the social and spatial context of the city and create their works based on intensive research and fieldwork. During the exhibition, symposiums, workshops and talk events will create opportunities for interaction and dialog between the artists, visitors and organizers.

ART NAHA 是 AIO(Art Initiative Okinawa)和那霸文化藝術劇院“NAHArt”的合作項目,場地不像是美術館的白色立方體,而是那霸中心區周圍的商店、公園和空地。

參與的藝術家將與城市的社會和空間進行深入對話,並在深入研究和實地考察的基礎上創作他們的作品。展覽期間,研討會、工作坊和談話活動將為藝術家、參觀者和組織者之間建立互動和創造對話機會。

In-Between Islands - A Tale of Two Islands, Okinawa and Hong Kong

This exhibition, which will be held in the center of Naha, offers a glimpse of Hong Kong's lesser-known culture and what their daily lives are like through videos and installations. It is a video work that includes loose commonalities of people's lives and imagination, such as islands, borders, nature, politics, and fragments of everyday life. Here on the island of Okinawa, you will be able to look back on the history and culture of Okinawa once again by learning about a foreign island country with similar histories and cultures, just like brothers.

沖繩和香港兩個島嶼的故事

這個展覽將在那霸市中心舉行,通過視頻和裝置讓人們一窺香港鮮為人知的文化以及他們的日常生活。這是一部包含人們生活和想像的鬆散共性的影像作品,如島嶼、邊界、自然、政治和日常生活的片段。在沖繩本島,通過了解與兄弟般的歷史文化相近的外國島國,您將能夠再次回顧沖繩的歷史文化。

Li Ning's first animation, 'Welcome to Jon Looka - Lost and Found ' (2022) tells the story of how people use a genetically engineered mutant jellyfish that feeds on human memories to help people forget their own memories. Jon Looka means hometown in Hakka. Is the island, where the pool of discarded memories floods, the home of the homeless Hakkas? This is the story of a mysterious jellyfish on an imaginary island.

李寧的第一部動畫 "Welcome to Jon Looka - Lost and Found" (2022) 講述了人們如何使用以人類記憶為飼料的基因工程突變水母,以它來幫助忘記自己的記憶。 Jon Looka 在客家語中是家鄉的意思。 氾濫島嶼上被遺棄的記憶,是無家可歸的客家人的家園嗎?這是一個有關虛構島嶼上神秘水母的故事。
