WMA is pleased to launch our commission grant artist Lo Lai Lai Natalie’s project The Days Before The Silent Spring.

Lo created a five-channel video installation that marks the tenth anniversary of the farming collective Sanwoodgoon. Founded in March 2010, Sangwoodgoon members include photographers, designers, art and culture workers, educators, journalists, researchers, and writers who experimented with living as Half Farmer Half X. Responding to the WMA 2018/2019 theme “Opportunity”, Lo’s work captured the collective’s growth and struggles through reflection on the multitude of worlds tied together and the myriad of life-forms germinated by the practice of farming.

WMA將展出藝術家勞麗麗全新委託項目《寂靜春天來臨前》。

勞麗麗為是次項目創作了一個五頻錄像裝置，記錄生活館成立十年間務農生活的總總。2010年3月成立的「生活館」，由來自不同背景的人組成，包括攝影師、設計師、藝術文化工作者、教師、記者、研究員及作家，學習務農之餘並探索「半農半X」生活方式。作品盛載着生活館成員在務農中的掙扎及成長。勞麗麗透過視角複合的影像，沉思農耕所聯接的多重世界、所萌發的種種生命，並藉此回應WMA 2018/2019的年度主題 ——「機遇」。

Details of public programmes, including a workshop about fermentation by Kishimoto Ho WY, a roundtable with members of Sangwoodgoon and more, will be announced shortly.

展覽進行期間亦會舉辦不同活動，包括與岸本太太合作的發酵工作坊、生活館成員的對談等等，詳情將於不日公佈。

As part of the crowd management and public health safety measures, please reserve your spot before visiting the exhibition.

為控制人流及公眾健康着想，參觀人士須於到訪前預約。
