The etymological origin for the Chinese word “fo2 bun6” (伙伴), or “partner”, traces back to the ancient military system. While “fo2” ( 火 ) refers to a unit of ten militants, it also doubles to mean “fire”. Indeed, the military was organised by the fire – the leader of a unit, “fo2 zoeng2” ( 火長 , literally meaning “ chief of the fire”), was in charge of cooking all meals which the team would share together. Therefore, those within one “fo2” were called “fo2 bun6” ( 火伴 ), or “partners of fire". This word was later adapted to generally mean "partners" ( 同伴 ) and was developed to be written as "伙伴” (fo2 bun6). Now, it refers to people who collaborate as part of the same organisation or activity, sharing the same practices and experiences.
Starting from 15th August 2019, Tsung Tsin Christian Academy and 1a space have joined to launch a one-year programme "Arts-in-School Partnership Scheme" initiated by the Hong Kong Arts Development Council. 1a space commissioned two artists, Kevin Ling and Debe Sham, to collaborate and explore how art knowledge can intervene secondary school students and the community through different workshops. “Hiddenfromview” – Arts-in-School Partnership Scheme Exhibition will anchor on the concept of outlining and recording space, and will allow glimpses into the interaction and transformation which the participating artists and students have undergone in the past year.

Before joining the Curatorial Panel of 1a space, she was a visiting artist and research fellow at Lingnan University and Yale University.

Sham's site-specific sculptures and installations have grown out of the artistic exploration of the role of public art.

「橙」這個字在英文中具有大相徑庭卻又同出一轍的兩個意思，「橙」可以指水果，「橙」亦可以代表「橙」色。兩個詞義緊緊相扣，因為橙的顏色是橙色，故橙亦以其顏色自居。到底有橙先，抑或有橙色先？那麼為何橙以自身的顏色命名，而香蕉卻不被稱作「黃」。
orange Orange 是一個以共同創作為框架的藝術展覽，透過社區參與創作藝術的過程，去叩問香港社會參與式藝術及社區藝術的本質。展覽展出來自藝團「業生」及「雞髀打人」藝術家們的作品，以及與他們緊密合作，來自1a Lab主辦的 Collage City中的參加者的對談紀錄及協作過程展現。
通過讓社區參與藝術創作，orange Orange建立了一個去思考有關於工作室教學中互相學習及共享經驗的平台。這個平台強調共同決策會產生有效的結果。在這個層面上，「有效」是指去建立一個空間讓人—資助者、策展人、工作人員、藝術家、工作坊參與者、展覽觀眾和日常生活中的人們—可以互相連繫、感到關懷及享受作樂。
去策劃一個作品如此多元化的展覽，有點像處理橙和香蕉。有些作品的訊息容易明白，有些卻需要被加以詮釋。當參加者觀賞帶有不同背景及經驗的藝術作品時，藝術家亦採取不同的策略。orange Orange 希望邀請每一位去超越我們的界限。
在Iris的作品中，它蘊藏著一顆像流浪者般探索的好奇心。
在Mui的作品中，它蘊藏著一道近乎遠古萬物有靈論的生命力。
在Ringo的作品中，它蘊藏著一個會去深耕機緣的超然機遇者。
在Puiyi的作品中，它蘊藏著一股被物質遏止卻隨時爆發的動量。
在Yumi的作品中，它蘊藏著一席於動蕩世界中掌握航道的無形力量。
在Issac的作品中，它蘊藏著一種以無窮活力來療癒創傷的天賦。
在Igor的作品中，它蘊藏著一線揭露壓迫力量運行的精神曙光。
orange Orange 邀請藝術家及參加者，以平等的共同創作者身份去打破舊有思維的疆界，以提高我們的感知力。只有透過新的視點，方可獲得全新的藝術體驗，作出非一般的闡述及啟發藝術家創造新的作品。這是將香蕉變成橙的唯一方法。
The word 'orange' has two distinct yet synchronic meanings in English - orange refers to both the fruit and the color. Two meanings are closely linked because the color of an orange fruit is orange while orange reflects itself as its color. Which came first, the color orange or the fruit? And why was the orange named after its own color, while a banana was not called 'yellow.'
orange Orange is an art exhibition which questions the notion of socially engaged art and community art in Hong Kong by introducing co-creation frameworks that involve the community in the art-making process. The show features the works of artists from Ipseng and Gabby & Darren, as well as the dialogue documentation and the collaborative process of participants from 1a Lab's Collage City who worked closely with these artists.
By involving the community in the creation of art, orange Orange creates a platform to think about mutual learning and shared experience in studio teaching. It highlights the ways in shared decision-making and yields effective outcomes. 'Effective' in this sense refers to the creation of a space where people - funding bodies, curators, working staffs, artists, workshop participants, exhibition viewers, and everyday people - can be connected, cared for, and have fun.
To curate a show with diverse works like this, is a little bit like dealing with oranges and bananas. Some of the messages are easy to read, others need to get decoded. Artists follow different strategies as the participants look at works of art with diverse backgrounds and experiences. orange Orange wants to invite all of us to leave the limits of ours.
In Iris's work, it lies a curiosity to grope as a flaneur does.
In Mui's work, it lies a vitality nearing the animism of ancients.
In Ringo's work, it lies a super-encounterer to cultivate serendipity.
In Puiyi's work, it lies a momentum arrested by matter ready to bounce.
In Yumi's work, it lies a mastery of navigating unseen forces in a volatile world.
In Issac's work, it lies an innate aptitude to imbue old wounds with an enlivening vitality.
In Igor's work, it lies an illumination of the psyche exposing the workings of oppressive forces.
orange Orange invites artists and participants as equal co-authors to overcome the deadlocked boundaries of our thinking in order to sharpen our perception together. Only through new ways of seeing can the works of art experience new, unusual interpretations and inspire artists to create new works. This is the only way bananas can turn orange.

【你這剎那在何方 life is elsewhere: you know where to find me】
你這剎那在何方是「藝術而立」計劃的展覽，將於 2022 年 11 月 25 日至 2023 年1月 31 日展出莫頌靈的作品。
計劃由一名藝術家、一名策展人，及一名研究員組成，旨在為處於職業生涯中期的藝術家持續舉辦一系列的個人展覽和編撰學術刊物，以回應香港缺乏生涯中期回顧展，及本地藝術研究和記錄的現況，以促進和鼓勵長期的藝術實踐。
莫頌靈近十年的作品都是以攝影、電影和錄像作為主要創作媒介。這些創作非常依賴她所參與的駐場計劃的人和地所能提供的支持和資源，而且往往需要在一個特定的短時間內把作品完成。從這角度而言，她的作品基本上可以被視為是對她那些經驗和環境的一種直觀回應。於是乎海上的旅程、北歐的深山、日本商店的舊街都通通能成為她作品的內容或題材。

開幕酒會｜2022 年 11 月 25 日, 晚上 7 時

life is elsewhere: you know where to find me
Opening Reception｜25 November 2022, 7pm
Exhibition Period｜25 November 2022 - 31 January 2023
Venue｜1a space, Unit 14, Cattle Depot Artist Village
The exhibition of the Mid-Career project, life is elsewhere: you know where to find me, will take place from 25 Nov 2022 to 31 Jan 2023 and will be presenting artwork by artist Jolene Mok.
Mid-Career calls for a trio group composed of an artist, a curator and a researcher to participate in the Artist Exhibition & Publication Series. In response to the shortage of mid-career retrospectives in Hong Kong and the need of documenting and researching the local art ecology, aim to initiate a long-term commitment to a series of comprehensive solo exhibitions and high-quality publications dedicated to mid-career artists.
Photography, film and video have been the chief media of Jolene’s works in the past decade. These creations relied heavily on the support and resources provided by the people and places of the residency programmes she participated in, and often had to be completed within a specific time limit. In this sense, her works can basically be seen as an intuitive response to her experiences and surroundings. Hence, journeys on the sea, Scandinavian mountains, shopping arcades in Japan can all become the subject of her works.
