‘HI! HOUSES’

Jaffa Lam x Sam Tung Uk Museum

「邂逅!老房子」

林嵐 X 三棟屋博物館



 


對聯是家訓
家訓豈能忘 
「耕也樂讀也樂能樂便樂士君子且從樂處用精神」
「創亦難守亦難知難不難大丈夫衹在難中尋志節」 
但是對聯消失了 
他們說客家人 
刻苦順天家檔可賣氣節永存 
當代藝術作客三楝屋
就由消失的對聯開始

Couplet, family mottos

Family mottos, words that should not be forgotten

 ‘Hard to begin, hard to keep; understand but not discouraged by hardships; the brave finds strength in hardships’

‘Happy to farm, happy to read; know and enjoy happiness; the virtuous searches for happiness’

 But the couplet is lost 

So they say…. the Hakka’s are

Hardworking folks abiding by nature      Worldly possessions could be sold     Integrity unyielding

When contemporary art resides in Sam Tung Uk Museum

Things begin with the lost couplet

Jaffa Lam x Cheung So-yi x Steve Hui x Lee Man-sang x Ong Yong-lock x Jason Wong x Pang Chun x Tang Kwong-san x Matthew Tsang x Vivian Fung

廿分鐘開幕表演足本。 Full version: 20 mins opening performance!


開幕表演

你們來了,我們來了,他們來了,大家都來了。

一種儀式,上告祖先;一種喜慶,聚首一堂;一種猶疑,是主是客。

穿插在人群中,讓我們的心跳與房子一起顫動。開始延續老房子的傳奇。

Opening Reception

You came, we came, they came, everybody came.

It's a ritual to inform the ancestors.  It’s a festivity for gathering together.  It’s a hesitation, are we the guest or the host?

When navigating the crowd, our hearts beat with the house. We began to continue the legend of the old house.
