本計劃由非牟利藝術團體「藝術到家」策劃,與「香港教育學院」 文化與創意藝術學系」聯合主辦,旨在社區推廣藝術與大眾分享,透過藝術家創作及藝術教育工作坊的形式進行。當中,邀請具25年創作膠紙藝術經驗的,美國著名“Tape Art”藝術家Michael Townsend和 Leah Smith到香港教育學院,與教院學生以縐紋膠紙為素材,在配合校園特色場地環境,設計及製作膠紙藝術壁畫。
藝術家更會到土瓜灣牛棚藝術村進行創作,在位於術村與馬頭角道休憩空間之間的一道圍牆,創作壁畫。此外,他們會在牛棚藝術村舉辦一場為藝術教師而設的工作坊,邀請教師創作,並參與公開展覽,以推廣“Tape Art”這極具創意的藝術媒介,及為本港藝術教育注入更多不同的創作想像。圍牆的兩面(一面向馬頭角道,另一面則位於牛棚藝術村之內),均會被使用,而且創作內容將會裡外互相呼應, 把藝術由牛棚藝術村內,伸延至村外,藉以鼓勵更多街坊在休憩空間流連,和主動參觀藝術村。
The current project is organized by non-profit art organization “Art Together” and co- presented by “Art Together” and “The Department of Cultural and Creative Arts of The Hong Kong Institute of Education.” The medium of tape art will be brought to the community and public through art exhibition and education workshops. American artists, Michael Townsend and Leah Smith, who have more than 25 years of experience working with Tape Art, will be invited to work with students at The Hong Kong Institute of Education to create site-specific tape art murals with masking tape.
Michael Townsend and Leah Smith will also work on the enclosing wall around Cattle Depot Artist Village in To Kwa Wan, to create a tape art mural. In order to further promote this creative medium of “Tape Art,” and to bring forth more imaginations to local art education, they will also host a workshop for Hong Kong art educators, whose tape artworks will also be shown in the exhibition at Cattle Depot. Both sides of the enclosing wall (one side facing Ma Tau Kok Road, while the other facing the village) will be utilized in the current project, in order to extend the artistic spirit of Artist Village to the outside of it, and to transform the Artist Village to be even more inviting.

藝術家介紹About the artists:
Michael Townsend (美國) 酷愛在建築物牆上繪畫。在過去二十多年間,他一直探索膠紙畫作為藝術媒介,以及可以怎樣改變社群。他對重塑、玩味公共及私人空間的藩籬的關注,成為在被遺忘的公共空間中的雕塑裝置。Townsend在羅德島設計學院取得印藝學士文憑及藝術教育碩士文憑。2008年亦曾在本港參與AIR藝術駐場計劃,與深水埗街坊共創膠紙壁畫。(http://www.hkair.org/artists.html)
Leah Smith (美國)多媒體表演藝術家,與Michael Townsend二人由2011年開始為一個持續的舞蹈錄像計劃“Dancey Town”作主要拍攝演員。Dancey Town.com
Michael Townsend (USA) likes to draw on buildings a lot. For the past 25 years, he has dedicated his life to exploring the medium of tape for the purposes of drawing and empowering people to transform the worlds around them. This love of redefining and playing with the boundaries between public and private space has manifested itself in non-tape related sculpture installations in forgotten spaces. His works as a public artist are strongly rooted in his desires to make art accessible and participatory. Michael holds a B.A. in Printmaking and an M.A. in Art Education, both from the Rhode Island School of Design. In 2008, Michael was invited to the Artist- In-Residency program in Hong Kong and collaborated with locals in Sham Shui Po.
Leah Smith (USA) is a multi-disciplinary artist and performer. Together with Michael Townsend the two perform the main characters for the on-going dance video narrative Dancey Town 2011-present. (DanceyTown.com)
媒介特色/Characteristic of the art medium:
以縐紋膠紙替代畫筆作為素材,可以避免對公共空間的牆身造成長期損耗,也可以為創作者提供一個迅速的繪畫方法,鼓勵創作者作大型作品。
Substituting paintbrush with masking tape for mural making can help prevent long-term damage to facilities, and provide a quick and efficient method for large “drawings.”
