香港的城市風景，在近10年變化迅速，於深水埗這個舊區，仍存留的每棟建築，都包含了香港的殖民地歷史和獨特風格。建築物築成保護居民的一層皮膚，組成了城市的脈絡，把遊走於不斷變化的香港市容中，各個不安定的個體和皮革布及成衣業者連接起來。本地藝術家Alison Hui在她的展覽「城市脈搏 – 深水埗」中，記錄了建築與地區的關係。

所謂「超扁平」(Superflat)，是指沒有三度空間透視法的創作方式，以漫畫式人物底下的沉鬱，諷刺大眾文化。當提到「超扁平」概念，就不得不提運動創始人村上隆旗下的藝術家──青島千穗。她以作品中充滿奇異的都市流行生物和風景聞名，創造的世界及人物具有明顯的女性和精神特質。它們來自大自然，幽默的嬉戲掩蓋著憂鬱和黑暗。這次貝浩登（香港）於9月26日至11月14日期間，為青島千穗舉辦個人展覽，展出一系列數碼動畫、雕塑和手繪作品。

The concept of “Superflat”refers not only to the history of non-three-dimensional styles of Japanese art, but also remarks on the flat, shallowness of consumer culture, which usually comes with a hint of gloominess veiled in its anime-inspired style. When we talk about Superflat, the name Chiho Aoshima often rings a bell, who is best known for her involvement in Takashi Murakami’s art collective. Distinctly feminine and spiritual, the worlds and their inhabitants Aoshima has created are built on the natural world, playful and often humorous, belying melancholy and darkness. During 26 September to 14 November, Perrotin Hong Kong presents a solo exhibition by Chiho Aoshima featuring a selection of digital animation, sculptures, and hand-painted works.

相信不少人都玩過經典棋盤遊戲《大富翁》，可你曾否留意匿藏在背後對於邪惡資本主義的諷刺？遊戲本意旨在突出收入不平等和壟斷者的貪婪，想出人頭地就要不斷地追逐財富，碾壓對手——無疑是當今資本主義社會的一個恰當比喻。紐約概念藝術家漢克∙威利斯∙托馬斯在最新個展「勿為五斗米折腰」中以奪目單色描繪了國際貨幣的圖像，配合《大富翁》元素，突顯社會對財富的癡迷。

The classic board game “Monopoly” may be a childhood favorite for many people, but have you ever noticed its hidden sarcastic criticism against capitalism? The game was designed to highlight problems of income inequality and hegemony of monopolists. One must chase after money and think of ways to vanquish rivals, an apt metaphor for today’s capitalist societies. To explore society’s obsession with wealth, New York-based conceptual artist Hank Willis Thomas presents serial imagery of international currencies in bold monochromes along with elements derived from “Monopoly” in his latest exhibition “Don’t Let Money Change You”.
