Oi! 油街实现
Oi! 油街实现

While walking along Electric Road, Hong Kong on a Friday in
November, I was drawn to a quaint and colonial style building. Curiosity got
the better of me and I decided to check out the building at 12 Oil Street. It
turned out to be the premises of the former Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club – a building
with 105 years of history. It is now an art space, an incubator for art.
Oi! is like an Oasis on the bustling HK Island – tranquillity,
friendly staff and interesting art display await visitors.
Sip a cup of free herbal drink at I’MPERFECT café - ponder the
maxim “It's ok to be imperfect 擁抱不完美” and appreciate our own
imperfection. Check out the I’mperfect Barter (herb pot and food exchange) on Thursdays
and various ad-hoc workshops. https://www.facebook.com/imperfectX
Among the many art displays, I found curator Gum Cheng’s “After
One Hundred” insightful – a project to document the changes in and around Oi! over
a two-year time frame. There are at least three possible outcomes in terms of
perspectives: 1. To move forwards; 2. To fall backwards; 3. To remain the
same. It inspires me to name my break
project “After One Hundred”.
Thanks Guide Fun & Fung for an enjoyable afternoon at Oi!
