地點: 西九海濱長廊
Venue: West Kowloon Waterfront Promenade
4/12/2009~27/2/2010
為了去看看妹子有份幫手製作的paddling home,三日和好友們在星期六下午特意到西九海濱長廊這個地方參觀展覽。
In order to have a look of "Padding Home", the artwork that my sister had assisted to create it, I went to West Kowloon Waterfront Promenade to visit BYOB with my friends.
西九,一塊很隔涉的地皮,一個充滿寄望及夢想的地方,一個不知何時才定形的文化藝術區..
抱著複雜的心情,我帶著相機來初次拜訪這個具話題性的荒蕪之地
當天雙年展雖是開幕了,但並不是全部的參展單位都準備就緒。
比較場刊的展品數目跟實際景觀...相信仍有一大半展品正在預備中。據保安員說,要到月尾展覽作品數目才會比較齊全。 展覽場地是一大片開放的空地,不知是噴了除草劑或是因為到了冬季,四周的草堆都是枯黃的
West Kowloon Waterfront , an West Kowloon, an out-of-the-way piece of land, a place full of dreams and expectations , an amorphous cultural district....
I took my camera to this barren area with mixed feelings. Although the biennale started, but some exhibitors were still preparing for their works. Compared with the quantity of artworks shown in the catalogue, there should be 50% of exhibits were not appearing. According to a security guard, the remaining exhibits would be ready later, probably after the East Asian Games. The exhibition venue was a large piece of open area. I am not sure that whether the grasses were sprayed by herbicides or because of winter, the haystacks were in yellow colour.
展品就這樣東一件西一件分散佇立著,任由風吹下打日曬雨淋,藝術品不再困在博物館中備受保護,只給受過美學教育的人欣賞;而是像屋村休憩公園的遊樂設施般,公開予人接觸,玩耍,或作為提供休息的地方。
The exhibits were scattered around, exposed to wind and rain. Artworks were not jailed in the museum and only appreciated by people who are highly educated any more; they were displayed like the recreation facilities in the playground, they were allowed to be touch, played and they offered spaces for people to take rest.

展品主題以可持續發展,社區重建,環保,香港未來的城市規劃等作題材,觸發反思,擴闊視野,也激發創意,鼓勵了二次創作 BYOB是一個融合社區及城市景觀的展覽,與日本的越後妻有藝術三年展有點點異曲同工之之處。
Sustainable development, urban redevelopment, environmental protection, Hong Kong's city planning were the themes of the exhibits. It triggered reflection, stimulated creation, encouraged extendable creation...BYOB integrated the community and the surrounding urban landscape. There were some similarities between BYOB and the Echigo-Tsumari Art Triennial.

跟場刊的圖有很大的差別啊...只有兩枝的風車花
The real scene of this installation was of a big difference from what was shown in the catalogue. There were less windwills in the real scene.
