"Sparkle! A Good Waste of Time" transforms Oi! into funhouse (with photos)
***************************************************************

     The "Sparkle! A Good Waste of Time" exhibition organised by Oi! was unveiled today (June 15) at Oi! in North Point. Under the theme "Fun and play", the exhibition gallery has been converted into a funhouse brimming with fantasy, inviting visitors to interact with artworks and make discoveries during a journey of play.

     For the fifth exhibition of the "Sparkle!" series, artist Solomon Yu was invited to be the project curator and six local artists from different disciplines with diverse styles have created artworks on the theme of "Fun and play". The participating artists are Cheuk Wing-nam, Moss Ho, Koko Ko, Lau Ming-hang, Rogerger Ng and Thomas Yuen.

     The exhibits on display are a mysterious scene created by Cheuk Wing-nam, an installation by Moss Ho that rediscovers the sensitivity of the body, a sound-producing toy made of water pipes by Koko Ko, a spatial setting transformed from origami by Lau Ming-hang, a machine that tests the ultimate elasticity of plastic gloves invented by Rogerger Ng, and a computer game designed by Thomas Yuen. Visitors are invited to interact with these exhibits and consider the messages about living attitudes that they carry.

     The exhibition has free admission and runs until September 9. For details of the exhibition, please visit www.lcsd.gov.hk/CE/Museum/APO/en_US/web/apo/sparkle_a_good_waste.html or call 2512 3008.

     Oi! is located at 12 Oil Street, North Point.
