WUREAREA and 1999 art space are delighted to invite you to visit the exhibition “38.4” at . This is an exhibition involving the collaboration of 17 local artists. It started with the "Sagittarius Birthday Party" – serendipity made their paths cross.
The idea of having the show "38.4" was initiated with one wild thought during the chitchat – Let's hold an exhibition together! 38.4 was merely an inside joke; there was never a definition. It could be an association with temperature, a measurement, a price, a size, a password, or a secret signal. This contingency coincidentally symbolised their encounter as they are a group of arts practitioners who barely know each other, being active in different sectors of the field and having their schedules. Hence, they questioned: can they preserve the inconsistency and uncertainty under a specific subject matter?
Nevertheless, they sought consensus and explored their common ground throughout the meetings and discussions. All these created an opportunity for artists to collide and generate dialogues. It leads them to walk out of their comfort zone through the attempt to try unfamiliar mediums, and they even perceive the role of art with a fresh eye.

I write about every exhibition I went to, and I go to almost every exhibition there is in Hong Kong. I shoot and edit my own photos for this blog.
I enjoy visiting artists and seeing their studios. I show them the way I see them, hopefully revealing something interesting.
I’m a proudly independent art blogger with no affiliation to any organisation. I blog because I love art and support the artists.
