[Exhibition] Ur ban Utopia: If And Only If
http://www.hosintung.com/2011.html
Co-presented by Deutsch Bank and Goethe Institute: Urban Utopia
"if and only if" exhibition by Ho Sin-tung and Tang Kwok-hin
2011.5.24 - 2011.7.2
http://www.goethe.de/ins/cn/hon/kue/en7454828v.htm
Thomas More invented the word "utopia" in 1516. In Greek, the word utopia actually means eu-topia and ou-topia, which reveals the absurd nature of utopia. If art can render vision of imagination to reality, then, at least in our creative mind, or confronting objects carrying various visual languages, we can still heel to reach behind Utopia desperately.
Thomas More's utopia is a perfect state constructed by strict class structure, education and governing. This "civilized state" was then challenged by many thinkers in the next century. Utopia is criticized for its control, discipline and censorship. Among which, Ecotopia depicts a new way of how to co-exist between human society and nature. Believing while urban development bring scores of benefits, at the same time it ushers corresponding dreadful consequences in reverse, However, the concept does not exclude high technology, for it suggests having ability of conscious choice by human beings to gain heath both mentally and physically between civilized and primitive situation.
In society nowadays, everything highly developed accompanies with a must of excessive consumption, one of the dreadful consequences being concerned in this exhibition. Hin uses the collected abandoned wooden objects from ruins and refuse depots. The artist removes all the color and non-wooden parts from the collected objects to trace the original limbs of trees.
Preparing this exhibition titled "Urban Utopia" in April, you can hardly come up with anything like milk and honey. There's 2012, radiation and white terror happening all around. If you want to obtain your own peace of mind, you can only cover them up or simply delete it. This is the theme of Tung's works in this exhibition. mosiac is put on things too sensitive to prevent disturbance. Although mosiac is just another wall. Things behind the wall are always there, still.
The exhibition is named “If and only if”, firstly enlightened by the extreme approaches of the two artists and the intention thereby prompt them to think about the symbol “↔". After verification, “↔" exclusively means “materials equivalent” in mathematics. This is absolutely not extreme. On the contrary, it means completely the same, equal to “if and only if”, the name of this exhibition. This seemingly androgynous impression, on the one hand inspires two artists deeper thoughts towards essence of objects which are being added or reduced. Does meaning change? Or remain afterwards? Before and after recalls us, philosophy like Buddhism. Materials do not change. Men change it.

[Art Work] On Utopia (2011)
http://www.hosintung.com/statement.html
Statement
That was April when Goethe Institute and Deutsche Bank invited me to do a show for Hong Kong International Art Fair.
That was April when Japan was suffering from the radiation after the earthquake, when Ai Wei Wei "disappeared", and everybody talking about 2012.
When we were discussing about the ideas of the show, the authority gave the title "Urban Utopia", and carefully told me not to paint any nudity and violence images.
That was April when I lost the energy of thinking the world as peaceful and beautiful, and I thought why not, as Utopia is always about power and control.
For the seek of "harmony", I put pixelate on all sensitive objects to prevent disturbance.
It is just a wall. Things behind the it are always there.

About Ho Sin Tung
Born in Hong Kong in August 1986.
Started learning painting in Cultural Corner which founded by Gaylord Chan since 1989.
Graduated from Immanuel Lutheran College in 2005 and Fine Arts Department of Chinese University in Hong Kong in 2008.
Now a full-time artist and has a studio in Fotan.
Ho Sin Tung's recent work predominantly uses pencil, graphite and watercolour in combination with
found and ready-made images - such as stickers, maps, charts, rubber-stamps and timelines.
These are reinterpreted to narrate stories of places, relationships and periods of time often within a considered, objective historical setting.
Her works are exhibited sometimes, collected sometimes, abandoned sometimes.
