This October Parallel Space will be 5 years old. There will be 5 different exhibitions for our 5 year anniversary. Here is the first one, curated by LEUNG Ho Yin with 7 emerging artists and Canton Disco.

‘Parallel Space's Sun (Libra) enters the sixth house. As a “yes-man”, Libra is afraid of conflicts and does not mind condescending himself for the sake of the big picture. However, its moon (Sagittarius) is in the eighth house and it brings extra sensitivity to its own consciousness deep down. With Pluto who represents the subconsciousness entering the tenth house, it gives him a strong inner-self. This person often fights with himself!’

"Pluto In Attic" is an exhibition that developed from the imagination of Parallel Space as a person, exploring the struggle between the outer-self and the inner-self. Together with the local legend, Canton Disco, seven emerging artists employ memories, stories and imagination to form the whole exhibition. 

The first part of the exhibition is about ‘Confrontation’. It takes place on the ground floor, where natural light penetrates through the windows of Parallel Space. Passers-by can see everything happening within the space just walking by. Under such an inevitable gaze, only things that fulfill the public expectations could be displayed. With such tension, the works of artists, HO Chi Wing, HONG Minki, LEUNG Ka Man and Nick MA respond by sharing their own personal experiences when fighting against the ‘force majeure’  from society, family and even from within. 

The second part of the exhibition is located in the attic of Parallel Space. Just as Pluto who symbolizes the subconscious, there has always been another self that hides in the attic from the sun. The works of artists Gordon D. FUNG, Gamzar and LEE Jungsik explore subconsciousness, memories, emotions and secrets. Several archival images of Canton Disco excavate new passages at the end, taking the audience to unknown spaces.

1 of 5 exhibitions for our 5 year anniversary of Parallel Space

冥王星入閣樓 Pluto in Attic
Duration: 22.09 - 22.10.2023
Daily Open Hours: 12 - 7 pm (Closed on Tuesday)

踏入2023年10月， Parallel Space 已經營運五週年！
將有5個不同展覽冠上5年紀念展，首個頭炮召集了一群新晉的藝術家和策展人，為Parallel Space一連串的5年紀念展打開序幕。

「Parallel Space的太陽（天秤座）入六宮，作為「好好先生」的天秤害怕衝突，為了顧全大局不介意屈就自己。偏偏月亮（射手座）入八宮，對深層意識特別敏感，加上代表潛意識的冥王星入十宮，賦予了他一個強勢的內在自我。這個人經常跟自己打架！」

展覽 #冥王星入閣樓 由對空間的擬人法想像開始，從對Parallel Space的星座解讀延伸至潛意識、內在自我、秘密等關鍵字，探討人前的自己與內在自己之間的角力，七位新晉藝術家與本地傳奇 Canton Disco 共同構成展覽。

當自然光穿透著Parallel Space 的櫥窗，經過的行人隨便走過也能看到空間內所發生的一切。在不能避開的目光之下，它只能陳列合乎大眾期待的東西。在這樣張揚的地下正是展覽的第一部份，內容跟「抗力」有關，藝術家何知穎、HONG Minki、梁嘉文和馬力琪的作品回應生活裡的這種張力，以自身經歷述說他/她們對抗社會、城市、家庭等不可抗力因素時的感受。展覽的第二部份位於藝術空間的閣樓，就像內在的另一個自己一直躲在陽光看不見的的地方一樣，這裡以冥王星所象徵著的「潛意識」為主題，進一步探討內在自己、回憶、情緒和秘密。藝術家馮迪倫、金澤和LEE Jungsik的作品探討潛意識、回憶、情緒和秘密，數張 Canton Disco的舊照片於末端開掘新的通道，帶觀眾到未知的空間。

在《冥王星入閣樓》的五個星期裡，策展人梁皓然聯同8位藝術家邀請觀眾前來Parallel Space 發掘躲起來的另一個自己。
