one thing though

yc,

of course, i am not against your point (you know me :-) ) on how things should work with the communities, or people who live in that soical space and thus a place of their own.

but i realize the idea of "local-ness" seemingly has started to be confined to participatory plan in communities.

yes, this is an important part for sure. however, there are many other layers of meanings and directions to (re)-intrepret/develop local-ness.

art works in themselves, plus the course of production (financial support, admin and collabrations, connections), are part of the whole thing.

i have uneasy feeling about the recent frequently repeated arguements that queen/stars movement can ONLY go on with its connection to other communities projects. yes, no doubt, this is an important path yet NOT the ONLY one.

for some people, they may ask questions like how the actions in stars or queens can grow in the spirits of autonomy and participation; how can we "practise" the "local-actions" as part of the development of democracy etc.

yes, these are all important questions.

nevertheless, as an artist, i also look at things from other angles. to me, the activities in stars/queens in THEMSEVLES have effects and impacts, that are not related to practical tactics without any "visable" effects. YET, they are feelings and thoughts that are trails inscribed in people's hearts.

i believe in energy exchange via art, sharing of thoughts and feelings via art.

this is for sure an even slower process than any other "tactic." but i do believe it and i shall go on "practise" it.
i am not trying to romantize art. there is no need, and somehow not possible.

again, i am not saying that communities projects are not important. we are all working hard on it in different levels.
i just thought, it seems like discussions are narrowing down... i hope my stance is clearly presented.

sorry to write in english, my chinese typing system just got a big flu.

本土 = 社區 ?

梁寶說得對, 如果沒有社區的參與, 本土是什麼意義嗎?

本土意識的承戴體難道只是本土行動的朋友嗎? 或是政客們的排斥對手的新口號?（目前還沒有政客敢用,但早晚會有人用的!)

一些人恐怕需要開始思考如何讓"本土"的怪獸下到社區/群被檢驗了.

規劃唔關我事

「我們想怎樣是沒關係的吧！」呢句，道盡了不單是外傭心聲。近日落石硤尾搞有關創意藝術中心的論壇，居民不是不知道這將會座落在他/她們的社區的大型建設，更遑論表達意見與伸張自己的文化權利了。我們讀了那麼多屎片，真係要多為各區居民服務！

Apology to AAB

My apology to AAB,for my say they might just skip the two very import subjects from the last night meeting, cause I saw too much our government's bad habbit in time limit to stop meeting progress. Appreciated they affort to bring the issue forward. However, the time should not spend on commanding the survey, CU professor's job, they need to gain more update knowledge for teaching the student who live in the city that change all the way. (otherwise, help us to slow it down.)

I hope this is the advantage and improvement that transparance can bring to our public work. Look forward to more improvement to come.

Add oil everybody!!!

AAB statements for Queen pier and Central Ex-Police Quarter

In a surprise, AAB had the meeting until 7:00pm last evening according to my friend who stayed all the way through the meeting.

Edward Ho came out said to the press:

1. "They will try to grade the Queen's Pier ...whether if the preservation is in-situ would depend on the government...."

2. "As for the Police Quarters, the AMO agreed to do an in-house archaeological survey ..."

那就是說AAB

仍是政府的玩具而已

下一次開得會尼, 皇后都唔知有無得剩la

A public impression for AAB

Went to AAB meeting today(first time they have an open-to-public session.). The close door meeting was one hour over run. People who signed up for the meeting hearing was patiently waiting at the hall way for a whole hour before we were guide to a media room, for the open session of the meeting.

At the beginning of the second part of the meeting, chairman Ho announced that they were going to discuss about the Central ex-police quarter and Queen Pier. But soon CU hijacked the meeting, nobody stopped them. The whole AAB was there wasting our public money and time to advise student scool/home work(Why we paid professor for? What make them think they have the right to take away the student's mistake? How are the student going to learn without seeing their own mistake? So therefore the society has to train them in real after they left school?).

During the meeting, we heard speak to say ' if we preserve this and that, we would lost how many billion from land sold. Can we afford that?' Yes, this was exactly from inside AAB. Don't know what make him think that why citizen should allow him to destroy a heritage value which cost much more than the whatever land-sell figure is. How can he pay back?

I did not know how long they have planned the second part of the meeting(the open-to-public part). As after watching the meeting on screen half hour, all they were doing about was giving command for a student public survey which CU is planning to do on Built Heritage Conservation. And they seemed not having interested to move on to the original aganda. So I left. My time has much more important thing to spent on.

So, let me guess, the conclusion of the meeting: 'The meeting is over-running for....., we will continue the subject of Queen pier and Central police quarter in next meeting...', Hope I am totally wrong. Sorry I was not patient enough to hear this myself. (but before i left, I did ask someone to help me to complete the recording,so I will find out if I was right or wrong.)

It is not the first time I witness how our government opperate our public resource and will not be the last time neither. It is every where and any time happening.

主要stakeholders 發聲了!

謝謝 ahchoii 的訪問與報導. 雖然我們沒有機會為外來打工者做參與工作坊, 但是至少也聽到了一些他們的心聲.

有人認為皇后沒有居民, 所以跟重建議題不同. 我不完全同意, 因為每個星期天, 這裡是坐滿了長期使用此空間的"居民" 啊! 沒有一個免費的公共空間, 這些皇后/天星的主要持份者怎麼辦?

香港政客是不會關心的, 因為外勞沒有選票. 泛民的政客們也是一樣歧視外勞的, 不信去問看傑哥有 "外勞政策" 嗎? 呵呵...

如果天星/皇后變成摩地大廈的后花園之後,我們的"星期天居民" 可以用這個應該比"時代廣場" 更假的公共空間嗎?　

如果不能用,那麼星期天居民的 "賠償問題" 如何解決?! 香港的政客不可能關心, 會關心的大概只有本土行動了, 對嗎?
