Rental United Open Studio 2011

Every year, thousands of visitors coming to the Fotanian Open Studios link up groups of studios with their visiting routes, and visualise their own open day landscape with their ways of seeing things. In recent years, many open studios no longer show their space in its working status. Instead, they make themselves clean and tidy to receive more guests and satisfy the preference of visitors. Finished... works are properly hung on the wall, waiting for appreciation and photo-taking. This change has brought the open studios closer to traditional gallery spaces, gradually transforming the event of Fotanian Open Studios.

Taking part in the “Fotanian Open Studios 2011”, Rental United will present their first group show, “EXHIBITION”. There will be a white cube resembling the structure of a gallery space, artworks carefully displayed in the homogenous space, and artists as motionless “body sculpture” for everyone’s appreciation. We will try our best to offer you as many choices as possible, and you will be free to choose what you would like to see. We hope that such an overexposure will make your visit enjoyable, give you lots of chances to take pictures, and more importantly, allow you to forget the fact that you are visiting an industrial building and what you expect to see after your long trip travelling here. So, are you satisfied?

夾租團開放日·2011

每到伙炭開放日，成千上萬到訪的觀眾用腳步聯絡出工作室群落，用各自的視線和觀看方式建構出各自眼中的開放日風景。而這幾年來，爲了迎接更多客人，滿足大家的參觀喜好，開放的工作室往往不再以工作狀態示人，反而收拾得乾乾淨淨，將完成的作品安穩地掛在牆上等待觀眾欣賞、拍照。這種與畫廊空間日趨近似的轉變亦漸漸塑造著「伙炭開放日」這件事情。

適逢「伙炭藝術工作室開放計劃2011」，夾租團首次團體展覽「EXHIBITION」盛大開幕：有同畫廊空間無異的白盒子結構，有用心陳設於這個均質空間中的藝術作品，仲有作為「身體雕塑」，靜止不動，讓大家隨意觀賞的藝術家自身，盡力做到任君選擇，想睇乜嘢都悉聽尊便。唔知經由如此地overexpose，能否令大家看得滿足，影夠靚相，更忘記此時正身處工廈，忘記之所以於難得假日，不辭辛苦咁趕來火炭，原本想睇嘅嘢？
