國際藝術家交流工作坊(香港)2008：4X4

Hong Kong International Artists Workshop 2008: 4X4 

藝術交流 社區實現

Creativity Exchange X Community Experiment in Sham Shui Po

《國際藝術家交流工作坊(香港)2008：4X4》 既是創作的實驗，也是社區的的實驗。《4X4》以深水埗作為焦點，在三月至五月之間進行兩個的藝術家工作坊。在每個為期四週的工作坊中，我們邀請四位海外及 四位香港的藝術工作者即興互碰，擴闊創作領域。公眾可以在最後一週的「創作總結」環節中一睹工作坊的過程、研究及成果，也可以與參與的藝術家閑談。

九龍工業學校將會成為創作的基地，也透過校內講座及學生工作坊讓藝術家與學生近距離接觸，再者學生也會成為藝術家的助手和社區嚮導。我們鼓勵參與藝術家回應社區獨特的歷史和文化，以及民間生活和智慧。《4X4》會是教授與學習的平台，也是資源「mix match」的試驗。

《4X4》秉承2005年《現場灣仔》的精神，融合文化交流和社群發展。國際藝術家交流工作坊(香港)屬於英國Triangle Arts Trust發起的國際性的藝術家工作坊成員。

Hong Kong International Artists Workshop 2008: 4X4 is a relay in two senses: on the one hand, two consecutive artist
“jamming” workshops will be held back to back; on the other hand, the project is about sharing of knowledge, across sectors and generations.

Taking Sham Shui Po as the centre stage, 4X4 is conducted in two process-oriented workshop sessions over two months from March to May. In each four-week session, four international artists and four local ones of diverse background will engage each other and the community in creative exploration. In the last week of the both residencies, the public will see the process, research and work-in-progress that come out of the programme, and have a causal chat with the artists.

Kowloon Technical School, as the base of the workshop series, provides the immediate interface with the students through lectures and students’ workshops. Under a mentorship scheme, the students will assist the artists in their creation and guide the artists to the neighbourhood. The artists are encouraged to interact with the residents and to respond to the local knowledge, with the mediation of the organizer. 4X4 is hopefully a platform for learning and teaching to all the parties involved, and for nurturing the synergy of resources.

Hong Kong International Artists?Workshop 2008: 4X4 continues the spirit of Re:Wanchai, AiR’s pilot programme in 2005, as both a cultural exchange project as well as an experiment in community development. The Workshop is part of a worldwide network of workshops developed by Triangle Arts Trust.
