Presented by Hong Kong Sculpture Society
Fully Supported by the Art Promotion Office of the Leisure and Cultural Services Department
Supported by the Hong Kong Arts Development Council, the Hong Kong Society For Education In Art and MTR Corporation
In light of the success of "Oasis‧Mirage: Hong Kong International Sculpture Symposium 2009", Hong Kong Sculpture Society presents "Awakened Sleepers ‧ Transformed Places ─ Hong Kong International Sculpture Symposium 2012" at Quarry Bay Park Waterfront from December 2012 to February 2013. With the fully supported by the Art Promotion Office, 16 Artists from Hong Kong, Mainland China and overseas will be invited to take part in demonstrations where they will use timber from retired railway sleepers to “up-cycle” and create sculptures. As they work, the public will be able to observe every stage in the process of sculptural creation ─ all the way from roughing out, through detailing, to finishing ─ and get the opportunity to chat with these artists from different backgrounds. Alongside the demonstrations, the symposium will also feature a series of activities including an exhibition, talks that share artists’ experience, guided tours of artworks and student sculpture workshops.
Kick-off Party for "Awakened Sleepers ‧ Transformed Places ─ Hong Kong International Sculpture Symposium 2012" will be held on 5 Dec 2012, 3pm at the Quarry Bay Park. For the Event Enquiry, please contact 61200523 or email to hksculpture@gmail.com.
