《殺到油麻地！地區自救計劃暨展覽示範》
6/4- 20/5/2012
活化廳
新一輪重建又殺到，活化廳四月份主題計劃推出《殺到油麻地！地區自救計劃暨展覽示範》，期望藉四個不同面向的計劃，提議社區可如何自救，藉此拋磚引玉，為各位街坊示範如何身體力行，自救救人。
面對重建殺到埋身，社區生活正逐步被財團全面控制，縱無精器良駒，也要空手入白刃！此計劃取名「自救」，一方面是要提出對抗盲目發展的立場；對社區內本有事物存在的感謝珍惜，亦期望藉各藝術家提供不同對抗主流價值的生活示範，以作拋磚引玉。
是次活動首重身體力行，然後自救救人的重要性。活動期間，策展人／活化廳成員將駐場收集各街坊觀眾就對抗城市發展提出的對策，齊為社區把把脈。另於示範展覽的最後一日特設「社區如何自救?藝術家與街坊齊齊拆掂佢傾計會」，與街坊總結各藝術計劃的考察／觀察成果。
殺到埋身！一齊空手入白刃！
計劃共分四部份:
1.「對抗示範」
從生活價值的質疑開始，由三位藝術家／藝術組合提供不同對抗主流價值的生活示範。「油麻地花王」伙拍街坊妹叔共同研究一種適用於香港家居的垂直種植系統，用種植改造屬於自己的生活空間。鄧國騫的「今《東京夢華錄》」結合連鎖店營業時的影片和個體店拍下關門時的照片，預示／慨嘆香港未來街頭。鄭家榆在牌檔、地攤或二手店尋找被遺棄或丟失的菲林，讓照片重見天日，替別人保存「拾回的菲林」裡面記憶。
2.「重建近了，你們應當拍檯！」
回應重建潛台詞：「無依無靠的，死埋一邊吧……啦！」藝術家李俊峰和龐一鳴將從各自從社區介入及個人對抗財團的經驗，設計一套「反地產霸拳」，給予街坊傍身。
3.「誰迫走了碳筆素描馮畫師？」
展出一位早前在上海街被強行拆去頂篷的寫炭相畫檔：馮畫師的作品、工具和圖片，扣問社會上什麼氛圍令類似的檔口不能續存？同場放置印有畫師工具和圖像的慰問卡，邀請街坊觀眾與畫師問好。
(稍後將會有對應馮畫師的創作，回應馮畫師的碳筆畫技藝，與街坊齊齊回想及分享當日畫檔贈予上海街那份獨特的人文風景。)
4.『連鎖免問』社區廣告位
戶外廣告不再是連鎖集團獨有！活化廳開放外牆空間用作街坊戶外廣告位，由藝術家專人手繪設計，全方位力撐社區小本生意。首階段以「尋鋪啟事」為題，包括幾個已結業或因加貴租而遷離本區的搬遷廣告。

For Immediate Press Release
Yau Ma Tei Self-Rescue Project & Demonstrative Exhibition
6/4- 25/5/2012
How to “Bare Hand Withhold Blade Attack”?
The project named itself with “self-rescue” for it propose to spread a self-help attitude, giving out suggestion to the “Kai-fong” (neighborhood community) of Yau Ma Tei (as well as beyond), some means to rebel against the blind-development now prevailing in Hong Kong.
We encourage the public to not just appreciate, cherish their community, but also through their action and participation to help preserve all the precious things that constituted the lively district. Our everyday livelihood are in fact being subjected to more and more control, as urban renewal joined hands with developers, allowing giant entrepreneurs sprawling crawls affecting almost every aspects of our daily lives. We surely do not have any real “weapons” to fight against them, but why not do something and start our resist with our bare hands?
The project is divided into 4 parts. “Confront demonstration” questions the mainstream value about development, three artists Yau Ma Tei FLOWER KING, Cheng Ka Yue and Tang Kwok Hin suggested related ways to resist against it through their specific case studies. “Rebel! for the Urban Renewal Authoritarian is near.” is a set of “Quan Pu” (Kung Fu Learning-Kit) with different postures teaching kai-fong how to fight against chain-stores monopoly and defend their rights in face of the profit-maximizing Urban Renewal Authority. The other two parts focus on some streetscape changes of Yau Ma Tei’s. “Who Took Away Painter Fung’s Stall?” exhibits photos and stuffs of the street-stall of Painter Fung just a block away from Wooferten in Shanghai Street, which recently got partially demolished. Art action by artists will response in-situ and remind people the unique artistic and humanistic touches “Painter Fung” has provided day in day out over the years.
Apart from above, Wooferten will launch an advertisement space named “N/A for chained stores Advertisement” free for local stores, with design and production aids provided from a team of artists. For the launching stage, we will display serveral hand-painted advertisements, of the stores that had disappeared or driven out from the local community or their original address, very often due to unreasonable rent increase.
