Culture comes from every single human, at the same time lead to the presence of Arts. Arts naturally exist wherever there are people living around. Ironically, art works collecting nowadays mostly become a superior leisure activity of the upper classes. Art Market is a kind of trading, which more or less the same kind of thing relevant to a Street Market. In this exhibition, I am trying to recall the memories of audiences about daily behaviors of trading so as to make them reflect on the root-deep relationship between arts and themselves. The event also satirize the current art market is self-isolated and the art buyers are over-elevated.
藝術是文化的產物,文化的來源是人。有人的地方自然就有藝術存在。然而藝術市場的出現促使收藏藝術品成為了富人的高級休閒活動。藝術買賣是一種交易,說到底與街市買菜是的原理同出一徹。是次展覽透過街市式「斷斤秤」的藝術買賣,勾起觀者日常最基本買賣行為的回憶,反思藝術與自身的密切關係,並且諷刺藝術市場自我孤立及藝術購買者自我高尚化。
