Fusion 2 《融合貳》

Описание: In collaboration with Arkad Foundation of Seravezza in Italy, Fusion 2 is the latest result of the Fusion project which received enthusiastic support from the Italian Cultural Institute Hong Kong and Consulate General of Italy in Hong Kong and the City of Seravezza. The exhibition brings together 10 talented young artists: five artists from Hong Kong and five of different nationalities, who lived and work in Italy.

Emphasizing the concept of “fusion", specifically in integrating marble and wood, sculptors in Italy worked in marble while sculptors in Hong Kong worked in wood. Each artist was able to choose their preferred collaborative partner, working not only on their own sculptures but also on their partners’. The sculptural works are therefore the result of an unprecedented collaboration between artists who, with humility and enthusiasm, have accepted to place their own creations in the hands of another artist they have never met.

In December 2021, the first phase of Fusion Exhibition took place in two prestigious locations. The Arkad Foundation in Seravezza, Italy, hosted five sculptures, and the Visual Art Centre in Hong Kong, hosted the other five collaborative sculptures.

This time, Fusion 2 will be held at the Chantal Miller Gallery in Asia Society Hong Kong. Not only will the show bring back all 10 sculptures created from Fusion, but also an additional 20 new smaller sculptures using marble and wood by the same exhibited artists. This exhibition will also provide the opportunity for the artists in this exhibition series to meet their collaborative partners for the first time in-person.

《融合貳》是與位於意大利塞拉維扎市的Arkad 基金會合作的合作計劃，《融》的最新成果。計劃得到了意大利文化協會、意大利駐香港總領事館和塞拉韋扎市政府的熱心支持。 展覽匯集了10位才華漾溢的年輕藝術家：當中五位來自香港，另外五位藝術家則屬不同國籍但現於意大利生活及工作。

着重於“ 融合”雲石和木材兩種元素的概念，意大利的雕塑家使用大理石創作雕塑作品；香港的塑家則使用木材作創作。每位藝術家可以各自選擇自己的合作夥伴，他們不僅集中創作自己的雕塑，更同時參與合作夥伴的雕塑創作。他們以謙遜和熱情的態度，將自己的創作交給另一位素不相識的藝術家的手中，這些雕塑作品是藝術家之間從未有過的合作的結果。

《融》的第一期展覽於2021 年 12 月分別由Arkad 基金會於意大利塞拉韋扎市展出了五件雕塑；香港視覺藝術中心展出了另外五件由藝術家們共同創作的雕塑。

《融合貳》將在香港亞洲協會的麥禮賢夫人藝術館展出。展覽不僅將帶回《融》中的10 件雕塑創作，更將展出由同一批藝術家利用大理石和木材創作20 件新小型雕塑作品。透過本次展覽的機會，造就素未謀面的藝術家們之間的首次會面。
