SC Gallery is happy to have Ann Ng and Lewis Lau‘s duo exhibition on Nov 7-Dec 10, titled “ 好耐好耐以前…..”
“Once upon a time“ that’s how most stories began when we listened to tales while we were kids, as if what happened in the past was the most beautiful. What happens today doesn’t appear to be as beautiful as those happening in the past.
Long Long time ago: indeed how long ago? When we were kids, our moms always said: “Yes, it was long long time ago.” When we grow up, we then understand that most things can change within a minute. “Long Long time ago” might mean “split-seconds” ago. What has been beautiful has all faded.
Changes are quick and it’s easy to lose: that’s our generation’s common experience.
Artists Ann Ng and Lewis Lau, one lives in Hong Kong and the other has self-exiled to some place far far away. Both, invariably, are intoxicated in their memories of the good old days. When things near them are drifting away like sands in an hourglass and slowly disappearing, they have tried hard to stop them. However, their efforts are in vain and they fail to restore what has been lost.
Opening reception: 12.11, 4 pm
Gallery address: 19/F, Sungib Industrial Centre, 53 Wong Chuk Hang Road
