Exhibition Extract
Frog King, China’s first performance artist, has adopted a frog as his symbol and alter ego. Frog-topia is the mental construct in which he locates his artistic values. The artist – who is based in Hong Kong, China, and exhibits internationally – uses Frog-topia as his way to transcend the artistic conventions found in every form of media.

「勝利時要飲它來慶祝，失敗時更要飲它來消愁。」這據稱是拿破崙對飲香檳的名言。事實上，拿破崙吃的不多，喝的則更少。香檳，是用幾種紅與白葡萄釀出來的汽酒，在喜慶場合用來助慶飲用的酒品，又是豐盛人生的象徵。然而，香檳背後卻有鮮為人知的黑暗一面，正如一個意外懷上的嬰孩，香檳因意外而來到這個世界──它並不如父母一樣擁有黑色的皮膚，反而長出一頭金髮；它的童年經歷不如想像般美滿，反而經歷重重艱辛，受盡磨難。在「興趣大曬」論壇上，觀眾被帶到法國的Reims及Epernay香檳風景區，並細細分享這種傳奇酒品的有趣故事。
謝氏負笈法國時，初訪香檳區，接觸日久，對其品釀略知一二，品嘗不懈，始分優劣。自詡為唯美（食）中人，只覺人生苦短，香檳名釀無刻不備。謝氏亦為藝穗會藝術總監及創辦人。

“In victory you deserve it. In defeat you deserve it.” This saying was famously attributed to Napoleon on the drinking of champagne. In truth he ate little and drank even less. Le Champagne, the sparkling wine, that we drink to celebrate happy occasions and is generally associated with opulent lifestyles, has a dark and turbulent side to it. Like an unwanted child, it has come into the world quite by mistake. Instead of taking after its dark-skinned parents, it has turned out blond. Instead of having a pampered upbringing, it has suffered great many hardships. The audience of Passion Speaks will be taken through the fascinating journey down the scenic routes of Reims and Epernay, the Champagne countryside and treated to the life-enhancing stories of this legendary drink.

藝穗會「陳麗玲畫廊」命名儀式
藝穗會在2011年4月27日把建築內一個畫廊正式命名为「陳麗玲畫廊」，以此紀念陳麗玲女士生前积极推动公益慈善和教育事业無私奉獻的精神。此舉得到陳氏後人的大力支持，當日命名儀式上，寶聲集團主席陳耀璋先生及其兩位妹妹親自向藝穗會主席周蕙麗女士及藝術總監謝俊興先生贈送了支票，眾多陳氏家族的親友，寶聲集團主席及陳氏教育機構的成員亦到場出席命名典禮，一同見證了這個重要時刻。

「陳麗玲畫廊」命名儀式暨酒會
慈善家及教育家陳麗玲女士一生積極推動公益慈善和教育事業的發展，陳氏家屬為了紀念和弘揚陳麗玲女士無私奉獻的精神，特地贊助藝穗會一個畫廊。並於4月27日星期三下午5點半在藝穗會舉行命名儀式和酒會，屆時會有陳耀璋先生的支票贈送儀式。陳耀璋先生自一九九五年服務於藝穗節董事會，並貢獻其專業知識，擔任名譽司庫。
陳麗玲女士從六十年代起已參與街坊福利工作；一九七八年加入香港公益金，積極籌款幫助有需要的人和社群，一九九一年擔任執行委員會主席，為慈善付出無限的力量；她更繼承及發揚丈夫陳樹渠先生致力發展教育事業的遺志，創立陳氏教育機構，至今已培育了眾多傑出人才。
陳氏後人不但繼承了陳麗玲女士積極推動公益慈善和教育事業的精神，更將其影響推動至香港本地藝術文化領域。陳氏家族多年來為社會作的貢獻，深受社會人士的讚賞。
藝穗會為非牟利機構及慈善團體，座落於一級歷史建築物，一直本著開放及創作自由的原則，致力為從事不同藝術形式的本地及外來藝術家服務，營造在香港、國內及海外展出及表演的環境，並積極為他們建立溝通的管道。是次陳氏家族與藝穗會的聯繫，必定為推動和培育本地藝術文化發展營造一個更優秀的環境。

2011.04.16 - Strange designs spark fury over the Central Market revitalisation project
video by INTNewsChannel
CitySpeakXXIX: A new identity for the Central Market
Minimal or aggressive?Ranging from minimal to aggressive intervention, architects have created four competing concepts for revitalizing the Central Market (中環街市).This former fresh food market is located between Jubilee Street and Queen Victoria Street along Des Voeux Road Central and was the first wet market in Hong Kong. It is one of two remaining Bauhaus market buildings. Connected with footbridges to the mid-levels escalator the building is guaranteed to be used by many.To decide on your favourite option, join CitySpeak to debate the proposals with the four architects, the Urban Renewal Authority, and Vito Bertin who will represent the "building".

The true mystery of the world is the visible, not the invisible.
- Oscar Wilde
Students of HKU SPACE’s final-year design studio project have spent the past few months exploring the Fringe Club and its surrounding area, “excavating” memories of people, places and events; documenting their impressions; re-examining notions of seeing and understanding everyday things, and devising creative solutions for this heritage building’s space.
On display will be the students’ designs, drawings, photographs, renderings and 3D models – all inspired, literally or loosely, by the Fringe Club building. Come and rediscover the beauty of “invisible things”.
