In our international internship programme 2020-2021, a team of 11 undergraduate students have been selected to work with Art Promotion Office and the artist Lam Tung Pang on the Hong Kong House project at Echigo-Tsumari Art Triennale 2021. Our student interns will share their thoughts on this platform, partly as documentations of their internship experience, but partly as seeds that may grow and spark ideas in the creative process itself.
‘Construction’ of the Half-step House: the Artist at Work!
On March 31, Tung Pang was working with his favorite material – plywood. As he said in a 2012 documentary by the Art Promotion Office, unlike how paint only lies on the surface of the canvas, plywood can allow the color to permeate while showing its texture and grain [...]
Experimentation 1
I’ve wanted to do this for some time but am not sure if this would be a long running thing. Basically, since my first visit I have been thinking about different ways to connect visual cultures in Hong Kong and in Japan. On top of my more theoretical series, [...]
Typography and Cultural Intersections: A Case Study on Neon Genesis Evangelion (Part One)
Take a look at these images. (Fig.1—Left: EVA movie poster from 2012; Right: Movie poster of the series’ newest instalment.) These posters are released 8 years apart, yet they look like they could well have been done on the same day. At one glance, the words, being placed [...]
Second time in the studio: the creation of art with a sprinkle of reality
“The paper is very warm,” said the artist as he opened the beautiful A3-size hardcover book. On Friday, Tung Pang re-introduced his studio to me. Unlike the previous group visit, he took more time to show me his working table, resting area, a small study room, as well as [...]
Our First (?) Encounter
Right after we entered Tung Pang's studio, I saw a table full of possibilities. Books, sketches and notes lying on the table brought me back to the time when I was a visual art student in secondary school, brainstorming new projects till midnight, the most painful yet sweetest time [...]
Studio Visit
The studio visit was an enlightening and intriguing experience for me to partake in the brainstorming for the project. With Tung Pang displaying his “half-step house” with a collage of notes, books, sketches and the miniature Hong Kong House, we could reinterpret his plans with imagination. Through exchanging ideas [...]
A Glimpse Into An Artist’s Inner Mind
Having studied art history for four years, I am used to learning about artworks created faraway from contemporary times, and to hear about artists’ ideas based on existing studies by renowned art critics. The studio visit was the first time for me to delve into the curating process of [...]
Studio Visit 3.3
Visiting an artist’s studio was a first-time experience for me. It was certainly different from seeing a finished work in a public exhibition space, and there was a charm in Tung Pang’s preliminary materials because they aroused imagination of what they could become as well as many thoughts. To [...]
Ideas, Words, and Songs Jumbled Together
Apart from being a visit to Tung Pang’s studio, the occasion doubled as a visit into Tung Pang’s mind. It was mesmerising to see the artist’s meditations all arranged on a table, especially in the warehouse environment of the studio. One could almost see ideas sprawling out of each [...]
Sally’s Visit to Lam Tung Pang’s Studio
Studio visit is without doubt the most exclusive of art experiences. I was thrilled to bits when offered the opportunity to be one of those privileged few to pull back the curtain and have an up-close glimpse of where the magic happens. The actual visit went above and beyond my [...]
Leah’s Visit to Lam Tung Pang’s Studio
It was such a pleasure to be invited to Mr. Lam Tung Pang’s studio. As an art history student, I encounter finished artworks all the time, but rarely do I have the chance to actually engage in the on-going process of art making. And so, the way Tung Pang [...]
