The Academy of Visual Arts of Hong Kong Baptist University presents the graduation exhibition of 2021 - the distance between our graduates and art. To get closer to art, we distance ourselves from our reality, letting go of preconceived ideas and past notions. The exhibition presents a range of distinctive artistic language, reflecting the makers’ mentality in the moment of creation and demonstrates their own uniquely felt distance. Further, the show encourages the audience to contemplate their own experience and reflections on distance and space, and revel between theirs and others’ worlds, near, far and in between.
I left my reality to get closer to you, but what will stand between us?
Words, time, space, or colours and lines?
Perhaps nothing will stand between us. But one thing is for sure, that ‘the between’ exists – separating us with an indescribable distance.
