通識沙龍 2024-25「鑑古知今：人情器物生活誌」
每段人情，每件器物，皆有演化。沒有過去的未來，無以傳承；欠缺未來的當下，則難有希望。本年度通識沙龍將透過人情器物的歷史，探討與生活息息相關的知識寶庫。
Brush and ink （筆墨） have been the backbone of painting in China for over a millennium. In Hong Kong, some artists in the 1960s have tried to introduce modernist elements into the practice of painting and launched a movement referred to as ‘New Ink’, thus initiating an attitude towards the past that still resonates in the practice of contemporary artists today. To promote the recognition of this movement and the attitude it fostered, some Hong Kong institutions have encouraged the development of a variety of practices that have greatly widened the very idea of what ‘Chinese painting’ can be. Not only are these practices relying on much more than just the use of brush and ink, but they have also questioned many of the assumptions that have often come with the idea of what ‘Chinese art’ or ‘literati painting’ have been. The past, in these new practices, has therefore become more than just a source of inspiration: in confronting the past, contemporary Chinese artists have opened a reflection on the nature of art that will not cease to provide new ideas and new directions.
