“OFFCUT” is the flip-side of the METACURSE-project, inspired by the leftover pieces of black acrylic — like the cut hairs left on the barbershop floor.
As the artist has become just another commodity producer, maybe real art lies hidden in the subconscious byproducts of the artistic process, the rejects and leftovers.
(An alternative art history: one composed of only the garbage found in artists’ dustbins)
The precise laser-cut shapes form the basis for freehand paintings. This adds the human touch so valued by the market, while the relative ineptitude of the artist simultaneously represents a critique and rejection of the creeping professionalisation of the art world.
“OFFCUT”是 METACURSE 項目的反創作，靈感來自黑色亞克力的剩餘碎片——就像理髮店地板上的髮碎。
當藝術家淪為商品生產商，也許真正的藝術只存活於過程中遺留下來的副產品、廢料及殘骸。
（另類藝術史：僅由藝術家垃圾箱中的垃圾組成）
精確的激光切割形狀乃手繪的靈感。 粗劣的畫工既增加了市場所崇尚的人情味，亦代表着對藝術界逐漸變態的批判和控訴。
OFFCUT and its counterpart METACURSE were produced for “Project Oi Kwan”. This project invited various artists to create work inspired by Oi Kwan Barbers, a traditional alley barber shop on Hong Kong island. The project was co-produced by Gallery In-between and Cheung Chau Wave and curated by Christina Brandt Jensen. The first presentation of works was during the In-progress event on Cheung Chau on 29-30/04/2023. See here for more on this and other exhibitions, workshops etc that TypicalPlan participated in.
