港粵對(duì)焦一

　　每年一度精藝軒畫(huà)廊會(huì)挑選一位非華人藝術(shù)家，展出他的作品；今年三月，我們將會(huì)展出美國(guó)藝術(shù)家 Carl Corey 的“港粵對(duì)焦”照片特輯。去年 Corey 帶著他那不能調(diào)較而生產(chǎn)于一九五四年的柯達(dá)針孔相機(jī)在香港及南中國(guó)拍下了這輯照片。

　　Corey 表示一直以來(lái)他深被中國(guó)文化，神秘及引人入勝之處所吸引；中國(guó)亦是他的想象力的資源。這次他選用了童年已擁有的老爺相機(jī)作拍攝工具，主要是他知道針孔相機(jī)在攝影時(shí)常出現(xiàn)不定性的結(jié)果，這有助他提升觀眾的想象力及使自己在攝制過(guò)程中能更投入其間。

　　一九五四年出生于芝加哥，Corey 在南伊利諾伊州大學(xué)的電影攝影學(xué)院取得美術(shù)系學(xué)士，畢業(yè)后一直從事藝術(shù)創(chuàng)作，曾在美歐舉辦個(gè)展，作品被麥迪遜當(dāng)代美術(shù)館、Nikon 攝影美術(shù)館、Philip Morris 等大機(jī)構(gòu)收藏。

　　Press Release

　　Once every year Art Beatus Gallery will show the works of a non-Chinese artist and in March 2008 we will display the photographs of American artist, Carl Corey, taken with his non-adjustable vintage 1954 Kodak pinhole camera in Hong Kong and parts of southern China last year.

　　Corey was born in Chicago in 1954 and received his Bachelor Degree in Fine Arts from the College of Cinema and Photography of the Southern Illinois University in 1976. He became a professional photo-artist after graduation and has a series of exhibitions both in the United States and Europe. His works are now in the collections of Madison Museum of Contemporary Art, Normandale College, Nikon and Philip Morris.

　　In his artist’s statement, Corey said that he had been fascinated with the culture, mystery and intrigue that China afforded his imagination. For the series of works in this exhibition, he used the antiquated tourist camera that he owned since childhood because he had hoped that the somewhat undefined results of the images could heighten the viewers’ imagination as well as revealing his immersion into the culture of the environs while shooting those works.
