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。
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.
The AiR Association Limited (AiR) 在2005年4月邀請十二位海外及十二位本地藝術家，參與這次國際藝術家交流工作坊。這兩星期工作坊以灣仔舊區作舞台，不同文化背景的藝術 家將聚首一起，探索新的意念、擴展創作的疆域。工作坊既是文化交流的機會，也是創意即興互碰的實驗室。……
In April 2005, twelve overseas artists and twelve Hong Kong artists were invited to take part in Hong Kong International Artists' Workshop (HKIAW), hosted by The AiR Association Limited in the heart of old Wan Chai. In the two-week's workshop, the artists from diverse cultural background engaged each other to explore new ideas and expand the boundaries of their practice. The workshop served as a stimulating platform for cultural exchange……
o 海外交流 ｜ oversea exchange projects
AiR 在過去兩年一直帶給各地藝術家出國交流的機會。本機構致力鼓勵推廣文化及藝術交流，例如舉辦國際藝術家工作坊( 香港，2005)，和安排本地藝術家參加海外藝術活動，三位曾經歷此類工作坊的本地藝術家，包括Lukas Tam, Iva Ma 和魂游，將會跟大家分享他們的經驗。我們希望藉著這次分享，可以為更多本地藝術家在將來開辦交流活動。
AiR has been creating a platform for international artist exchange. Under the facilitation of AiR, Hong Kong artists have taken part in artists’ workshops and exchange activities held overseas. We hope that through its international network, AiR can nurture an in-deep bilateral dialogue in culture.
三位國際藝術家：N.S. Harsha (印度)，Gabriel Baggio (阿根廷)，林嵐 (香港)，於2005年5月9日至14日應邀往汕頭大學的藝術設計學院 (CKAD) 參與學術工作坊。他們逗留短短六天，豐富了CKAD 學生對裝置藝術之探討，同時舉辦了三場公開講課予大學內的所有學生。
Three international artists, N.S.

遊樂園的園主是一位畫家，他的畫廊就設在園裡。他加上建設園內設施的鐵匠、中心裡的工友(Mr.Ricab)，還有啟發我關於童年靈感的鄉村小孩，統統也是這次集體創作的一份子。這是關於孩子的夢想，就在遊樂園的空氣中飄蕩，降落到房子內，一片孤寂。它也是關於一個人看著孩子在園裡玩耍，從早到午的，像滾石樂隊的作品《隨淚流逝》中的歌詞⋯⋯
It was indeed a group work, included the owner of the playground (he is a painter and has his own gallery inside the playground), the blacksmiths who made the actual playground-ride and a helper (Mr.Ricab) from the Center, and the children I met in the village, that gave me inspiration in thinking about the plays in one's childhood. It is about children's dreams, runs in the air of a playground, then settles down in a room....a solitude. It is also about a person watches children play in a playground⋯⋯

經過幾近三十小時的航程，我戰戰兢兢的從香港到達地球的另一端－－南美中部的玻利維亞，著陸聖克魯斯（Santa Cruz）國際機場，準備參加Km.0 Urbano國際藝術家交流工作坊。接待我的工作坊籌辦人之一Raquel Schwartz駛著一輛簇新的豪華日本房車說，聖克魯斯是玻利維亞第二大的城市，亦是近年來南美洲發展最快、本國及鄰近國家人口陸續遷往的城市。低地的亞熱帶氣候為夏天帶來燦爛的陽光，路上亂駛堵著的車子從不響號，在兩旁都不過是三四層高樓房的長街上，這裏總有份熱鬧輕鬆、懶洋洋的感覺。⋯⋯
After 30 hours on the flights and transits in 2 airports, I arrived at Santa Cruz and started an "exotic adventure" under the tropical sunshine and the swinging hammocks, sweats on my neck and delectable food in the back garden, singing and dancing and partying all came into my mind at the very first moments, and after all it was the friendship between artists from different parts of the world and the intensive exchange of ideas and cultures that impressed and stimulated me the most⋯⋯
譚偉平的作品主要探討「個體」的活動和對「土地」的感覺之間的關係。它們有著密切的關係，而相互的基本本質又不斷改變。到目前所發掘的題材包括有「家與身份」、「空間與平衡」、「公眾與私人領域的交點」、和「現實與幻想」。從近期的作品「廟宇」，譚偉平研究不同的設置和處境所提出對於身份、人文、歷史和現實的不同理解⋯⋯
Tam's works mainly concern the relationship between the activities of "individuality" and the perception of "Land". They are closely associated with each other, but constantly changing the fundamental nature to each other. His works have been exploring in the areas of "home and identity", "space and balance", "intersection of public and private sphere", and "reality and imagination". Based on the recent work of "Temple", Tam utilizes his works to investigate different⋯⋯
