China is a patriarchal society, in which all the important decisions including the naming of babies are subjected to the predominance of relatives from the father's clan. It is a matter of ancestral glorification. It is an accomplishment to the Confucian etiquette.
Besides, the naming process requires an in-depth consideration on the five-planet elements of the corresponding characters, in which you can foresee whether such name will bring about auspiciousness if judging from the feng-shui perspective.
Alumni sharing after the joint display at CUHK Chien Mu Library, talking about my issuing of journal articles on Chinese art-history researches after my MAFA graduation from CUHK
C&G Art Department創辦人張嘉莉(Clara CHEUNG)於International Association of Art Critics Hong Kong發表了一篇名為《Reconstructing the Hong Kong cultural identity by reconnecting with history through art exhibitions and performative rituals (from the construction of the “Lo Ting” myth in 1997 to the revival of ritualistic practices in 2014)》的學術文章,旨在探討民間宗教鬼神習俗若放在畫廊空間內再現,能否有效地鼓勵觀賞者把傳統祭祀融入生活去重塑後殖民地時代的文化身份認同。Clara與浸大CVA校友蟻穎琳一樣,有按照中大文化研究系教授何慶基博士辦《盧亭神話》專題展的策展理念,以超現實主義的油畫手法,繪畫魚頭人的戲玩幻像,兌現洪席耶及Walter Benjamin主張敘事性創作及玩味的精神,道出一切歷史也是像神話般由管治者虛構的哲學迷思。
Clara認為《盧亭神話》此「偽民族志」旨在以visual artifacts兌現人類學考察重視的material culture,乃「關係美學」的一種,又被稱作「關係藝術」,是美術實踐上所呈現的一種模式或者趨勢,最早發現並提出者為法國藝術評論家Nicolas Bourriaud。Nicolas Bourriaud認為「關係美學」並非獨立的私人空間,而在理論或者實踐上從整體人類關係和社會背景發展的藝術實踐模式;這時藝術家應當被視為呈現關係美學的「催化劑」,而非整個藝術概念的中心。

The Kowloon Walled City Series is based on an interdisciplinary research on graphic art like experimental linear drawing, photography such as Greg Girard's documentation, Chinese calligraphic references such as Yan Zhengqing's stele scripts, the journal articles about anarchic urbanism, and the neo-figurative painting styles recommended by Prof. Lui Chun Kwong. The CUHK Fine Arts MAFA Graduation Show will be grandly opened at CUHK Art Museum on 10 July, Sunday. The Kowloon Walled City will be displayed by seperating two generalized streams as "Anarchic Urbanism" session and "Homecoming Dad" session, so that the visitors can perceive how I am eager to enjoy the nourishments of love within a pale mode of retreated livelihood. (* The images have been reduced due to the limitation of 5MB file size for file uploading, and this PDF is 2MB only in which all the texts remain unchanged.)
This document summarizes the artist's process in developing a series of paintings about lifeguards in the former Kowloon Walled City. The artist was inspired by sketchbook techniques of Paul Ryan and Wolf Stubbe to create experimental drawings exploring concepts like "slackness" and "tenseness". These led the artist to focus on the Walled City as a subject, seeing it as a "dreamland" free from social restraints. The artist plans to paint scenes of lifeguards pursuing their desires without oversight, reflecting Michel Foucault's concept of the "carceral city". The goal is to portray the Walled City's atmosphere of emancipation and self-sufficiency outside of social norms.
Humanity Paper - Forecast to Renewal of Chinese Sexual PerceptionsVincentKwunLeungLee
This was a group paper from Dr. Lo Kwai-cheong's Humanity course called "Chinese & Western Modes of Thoughts". The points from this paper were as similar as my recent avocations about the lack of love nourishments and a desire for becoming a Homecoming Dad. You can see that I could be that avant-garde in gender issues during my BUVA studies in Donald Tsang's administration era, in which I could enjoy a wet kiss with my ex-girlfriend at Kai Yip Estate after my VA lessons at Kai Tak Campus. Corresponding with the "Sumling Effect", I cannot control the drop of tears while reading this Humanity paper with a Distinction, as I have lost lots of stuffs from my sweetest BU memories due to the intransigent requests from my two secondary Alma-Maters and CUHK for my ability in becoming an "academic hegemony" at the expense of my creampie opportunities.
Professor Alexander Wai Ping-kong is definitely a good BU principal, even performing better than Lui Ki-cheong and So Pui-ting judging from their boycott on my CUHK MAFA Graduation Show.
