是次展覽中,兩位本地藝術家通過對城市的空間和環境進行解構及轉化，以嶄新的角度探索城市種種獨特的現象,遂創作出一件件匠心獨具的雕塑裝置作品。在創作的過程中,二人發掘到都市人許多的深層回憶,藉以刻劃並呈現出我城的靈魂所在。

陳軒明的最新雕塑裝置系列「traces of the city」,巧妙地將城市中獨特的面貌,如天際、街道、巷子及公共空間等日常生活中處處可見的景象,轉化成饒富意味的圖像,教人加以細味。陳閃的裝置系列「CityKite」,旨在以風箏製作的傳統手工藝,映出都市化對我們的影響。在繁囂的都市中放風箏,似乎是不太可能的；陳閃藉其作品,將都市人比喻為城市天際上幾近絕跡的風箏,以揭示風箏（即都市人）的夢想與希冀,追求自由,不受驅束。

YY9 Gallery is pleased to present "Poetic Space", a joint exhibition by Arthur Chan and Sim Chan. In this exhibition, the two local artists will present their latest series of artworks which provide a brand-new perception of poetic space via the transformation and deconstruction of architecture in the cityscape into creative works of interactive installation. Through the process of art creation, both manage to create a metaphorical narrative that depicts the hidden memory and hence defines the soul of the city.

Arthur's latest sculpture series, "traces of the city", transforms some peculiar silhouettes of the city into various forms of pictorial representation, which capture unique shapes and scenes we see every day such as the outlines of skyscrapers, streets, back lanes and open spaces. Sim’s sculpture series, "CityKite", aims to reflect the impact of urbanization by means of traditional craftsmanship — kite making. While it is often seemingly impossible to fly a kite in a crowded city, the artist intends to create his latest series of artwork as an analogy between the urban dwellers and the banned kites in the city, revealing and symbolizing the dream of kites and hence urban dwellers to fly free from all the constraints the sake of freedom.

香港建築師學會將於本年12月7至27日於ArtisTree舉辦會員藝術創作品展。是次名為「築。自室 REVEAL- HKIA at ArtisTree 2013」的藝術作品展覽由太古地產贊助，將會展出一系列由香港建築師學會會員創作的藝術作品，包括攝影、圖像與繪畫、雕塑、裝置、手工藝品、電子媒體 (錄像和數碼印刷)等多媒體作品，旨在向香港市民展示本地建築師的創意與活力，並以嶄新的展覽形式透視建築師的工作空間，加深公眾對香港建築師學會及本地建築師的認識。

整個藝術展覽的作品結合藝術創作與建築之元素，透過作品探討建築師如何為城市作出貢獻，並與公眾分享他們在建築學以外的創作思維和觀念。不同建築師的設計靈感將會透過他們的作品表現出「建築前」的另一面思維及其創作理念，各參展建築師將展示及討論在設計建築物及建築環境時，他們的藝術意向及想法之互補或對比，突顯建築設計和其他藝術媒體之間異曲同工之處。

「築。自室 REVEAL - HKIA at ArtisTree 2013」籌委會主席吳永順建築師表示：「今次展覽旨在讓廣大市民更深入了解香港建築師多才多藝的另一面，以及探討建築與藝術創作之間的緊密聯繫。」

Recognising the important role of art in society to raise awareness and defend human rights,local human rights non-governmental organisation HKRAC has inaugurated an annual Hong Kong Human Rights Art Prize. By featuring two categories,the ground-breaking Prize both offers local artists a meaningful opportunity to showcase their work while at the same time engaging the greater community.

The Emerging Artist category was open to young professional artists in Hong Kong under the age of 35 years old. In order to enter,these artists had to be nominated by someone of good standing in the Hong Kong art community. The Community artist category was open any non-professional Hong Kong based artist of any age. HKRAC received well over 50 entries for the prize and they represented a diverse,talented and exciting collections.

With great deliberation,our judges,Melissa Lee,a visual arts lecturer at the Chinese University of Hong Kong,Kacey Wong,a well known Hong Kong artist,and Vincent Piket,the Head of Office of the European Union in Hong Kong,whittled the competition down to seven finalists in each category and 2 winners. HKRAC has also awarded an HKRAC Choice Award,chosen by its staff,to one artist in each category. Each of these four winners will be auctioned off in a live auction by Christie’s on November 5 at our event.

The finalists in each category,as well as the winners,can be seen below. Each of these 14 pieces of art will be available for sale by auction on November 5 at our one night only exhibition at the Sundaram Tagore Gallery.

Hong Kong Refugee Advice Centre

www.hkrac.org

The Hong Kong Refugee Advice Centre is the only not-for-profit organisation dedicated to providing free legal advice and assistance to refugees making claims for asylum before the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees in Hong Kong. Legal recognition as a refugee is the first step in enabling a refugee to rebuild their life and since our establishment in 2007, we have supported over 800 refugees and their families in their claims for protection.

Without our legal assistance, many cases are mistakenly rejected because refugees rarely understand international refugee law or the process of applying for asylum, or because the refugee is traumatized and unable to give their history in a coherent and legally relevant manner.

Alongside our core staff team, we support refugees through the process of applying for protection in Hong Kong by recruiting, training and supervising a team of volunteer lawyers, caseworkers and interpreters. Your donation will enable us to provide this life-saving advice to even more refugees, recruit and train more volunteer caseworkers and interpreters, and promote refugees' rights throughout Hong Kong.

香港難民援助中心（HKRAC）是香港唯一為難民提供免費法律諮詢與協助的非營利組織，致力協助難民向聯合國難民署（UNHCR）申請香港庇護。難民想過新的生活，必須先經法律承認其難民身份，本中心於2007年設立，至今已協助超過800位難民及其家屬申請庇護。

在無法律協助的情況下，許多申請案件常因聯合國難民署誤判而退回，因為難民大多不諳國際難民法，也不懂申請庇護的程序；有人更身心嚴重受創，無法有條理地描述自己的遭遇及清楚提供難民署裁決所需的資料，因而申請遭拒。

除了核心運作團隊，香港難民援助中心也招募律師、社工與翻譯員擔任義工。義工將接受培訓，並在負責人帶領之下，協助難民申請香港庇護。您的每一分捐助，都有莫大裨益，我們將能幫助更多難民，提供重要的諮詢協助，也可以招募並訓練更多義工，一起為香港的難民權利奮鬥！
