38.4

EVENT DESCRIPTION

Everything started with the “Sagittarius Birthday Party” – serendipity made our paths cross. The idea of having the show “38.4” was initiated with one wild thought during the chitchat – Let’s hold an exhibition together!

38.4 was merely an inside joke; there was never a definition. It could be an association with temperature, a measurement, a price, a size, a password, or a secret signal. This contingency coincidentally symbolised our encounter as we are a group of arts practitioners who barely know each other, being active in different sectors of the field and having our schedules. Hence, we questioned: can we preserve the inconsistency and uncertainty under a specific subject matter?

Nevertheless, we sought consensus and explored our common ground throughout the meetings and discussions. All these created an opportunity for artists to collide and generate dialogues. It leads us to walk out of our comfort zone through the attempt to try unfamiliar mediums, and we even perceive the role of art with a fresh eye.

For us, this seems to be a spontaneous exhibition, yet it might be a chance for us to review our art creation process in retrospect. Some of us are newbies, while others are putting long-buried thoughts into action as if it is a grown-up version of the graduation show. We believe the variety and inclusiveness of the exhibition can make the works more playful and experimental. It is rare to find new directions out of the accustomed mindset, so why not embark on a delightful adventure with a sense of pleasure?
