Reference: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/arts_and_culture/8094839.stm 一個很大型及期待的展覽。Banksy﹣英國街頭藝術家，他的作品出現於不同國家，作品由繪畫，裝置，graffiti，嘆為觀止。有兩點比較欣嘗： 1)由戶外走至戶內 2)館內的工作人員亦聲稱沒有見過他，他的真面目沒有人見過及肯定 3)佢既作品與社會，人的感受深深聯系 Video work: http://vimeo.com/5671441 http://vimeo.com/5671157 http://vimeo.com/5670958 http://vimeo.com/5670815 http://vimeo.com/5670706 http://vimeo.com/5671839 Photos: http://www.flickr.com/photos/siusoon/tags/banksy/ About banksy: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banksy Share on Facebook

Foto was taken in UK\London on 3-Jul-2009 一個月旅途的終點站便是位於倫敦的http gallery，來自澳洲藝術家Kate Rich用了六年時間策劃及制作這次展覧，帶出食物的原產地，重視食物的供應過程，所有原材料也是由人手由墨西哥,中東等國家帶到英國。原產地的食品有著它的獨特的包裝，語言及文化，經過人與人的接觸，溝通，更能理解製造食物的過程及食物其特色。這是不能夠從與超市食品作相提並論。令我驚訝的是有種原汁原味的記錄，電郵與當地人接觸，以及自願者的運送過程等等。除了展覧外，亦是一間cafe，可以品嘗製作出來的咖啡，蛋糕，三文治等。其用心的創作令人感動，連賬單也是用心之作，一個週詳的展覧，亦對其食物產生聯系，反思包裝是市場的手段，但要了解其真正故事，亦要有心人幫助。這真是一個值得推介的展覧！ Reference: http://www.http.uk.net/exhibitions/FeralTradeCafe/index.shtml Video: http://artsandecology.rsablogs.org.uk/2009/07/27/feral_trade/ Share on Facebook
