Pofung 陳寶鋒

寶鋒是位游走於藝術和設計的創作人,他的作品均由感受那些細微的物件展開,破裂的玉手鐲、折斷了的蠟筆都是他爆發創造力的來源。

他受社區的銅器老師傅啟發,把打銅的工藝傳授給到社區老少,以銅器的各種可能性,打造出「銅聲童戲」,玩的樂趣在於學習製作物器的工藝,同時尋找新的敲擊聲音,「噹」的一聲,是開拓社區生活的創意和人生價值觀。從學習和玩的過程,承傳點點對工藝的認識。工作坊過後不久,老師傅過世,這是他知命的歲月餘音。

寶鋒關注細巧的物件和工藝,延伸社區和勞動者的提問,相信寶鋒是次的體驗帶給他更多創作形式以外的社區脈絡、社區參與者和老工藝,以及被人遺忘的器具。那「噹」聲最能喚起的是敲響港交所新股上市的一刻,是它和今時金融城市的唯一對話。

Po Fung is a creative practitioner who works across art and design. His works are based upon his feelings of subtle objects. He sees a broken jade bracelet and broken crayon as a source of creativity.

Inspired by a bronzesmith in the community, he taught the making of bronze crafts to the young and old in the community. He used various possibilities of bronzes to create a "bronze child play." The fun is to learn the crafts of making artifacts, and to find new percussion sound. A sound "Dang" is a creative attempt that opens up the community and values ​​of life. From the process of learning and playing, we inherited a little bit of knowledge about craftsmanship. Not long after the workshop, the master passed away. This is a repercussion of the unfortunate event.

Po Fung pays attention to delicate objects and crafts, and he extends his query to the community and workers. I believe that Po Fung's experience brings his work a richer community context along with an element of community participants, old craftsmanship, and forgotten objects. That "dang" sound can evoke the moment when a new stock is listed in the Hong Kong stock exchange, and it is a dialogue with the financial city today.
