A passing moment
Been to Osage today for the third time, this time finally alone. Came up with one theme that could cover the show, or more superficially towards the works:
Freezing the moment.
Freezing the moment could also be a representational picture. This led to the other underlying theme, which could interpret the exhibition title Inside Looking Out nicely as a contrast of the disclosure on the their self-image as artist (or not) as shown in Machi's work and their artists' self-presentation in their works. (hence an inside / out) This could be somehwat representational, something however that Thompson seemed to have missed in his ambitious essay to characterize the show as representational of the fotanian.
One strangeness of the Inside / Out inevitably also has to be the move from Fotan (N.T.) industrial building to Kwun Tong (Downtown?) industrial building. Perhaps the cruical difference is not the presenter (Studio /Gallery), but who is yr neighbourer (I meant the Chinese Whispers)?
