Yellow words - 寫給所有正在/準備在街上塗鴉的同伴朋友


<這篇文章只是因為很想用文字表達我們的感覺出黎而成的,而這些都只是我們相信的,純個人立場。其實無咩作開文,如果不太流暢,大家不要見怪> 




由於現在,社會、公眾和媒體都正在留意和報導香港的塗鴉活動,因此我們希望市民能把它當作為藝術活動,而不單單只是一種犯罪行為。這裡是我們的一點想法:


艾未未事件只是一個切入點。他把很多人對社會和公義的憤怒都被喚醒了。人們希望可以透過一些東西表達出來,為我們的自由和人權而戰。就這樣,"塗鴉少女"的艾未未街頭藝術作品首先在社區出現了。她和它鼓舞了其他人。之後,許多類似的艾未未街頭作品(stencil)和艾未未free style塗鴉也逐漸地出現在香港。人們像是得到了啟發,他們希望把自己的思想,包括對社會對政府對內地對公義的不滿透過噴漆在街上宣泄出來。我們欣賞這些行動,也很感動,因為這動機可以說是街頭藝術的本質。


其實在外國,他們會覺得這種街頭噴塗是怎麼?當你在街上創造一些有目的的藝術作品時,其藝術形式其實可以被稱為「街頭藝術」。儘管在世界各地它仍是一個看似會犯法的行為,但灰色地帶卻是很多的。它們多數都是短暫的,因此普遍的街頭藝術家們都會有一種態度,一種對抗著的態度。他們會挺而走險卻又自由地在街上做他們的作品。其魅力所在和可愛之處也正正是這樣。它在現代藝術界中是舉足輕重的,也同時是世界各地城市中的一個重要的文化。其實,街頭藝術的種類可以是自由塗鴉、 模版(stencil)、 貼紙或wheat-paste...等。如你想知道這些東西是怎麼,去google隨便搜尋看一看和瞭一瞭解。之後,你就會發現其實世界上有許多有意義和有趣的街頭藝術呢。


我們堅信街上周圍都能成為藝術館。因為街道是表達藝術一個很好的渠道,它容易讓作品在社會發聲 ;使人們看到,感覺,思考,繼而反思和討論。但在此之前,先不能讓大眾市民感覺它是一種破壞,而令他們討厭。因此我們認為聰明和有質素的街頭藝術作品總是比較容易被公眾所接受(起碼不會很快就消失)。


那應怎樣開始行動呢?首先,你可以把自己的一個強烈的信念或你認為是對的想法轉化成一個圖像;然後你可以為腦海中的一些概念作一些準備;再把這些已準備好的東西通過任何方法在這個公共藝術館-街道創造出來。比較大規模的,可以聯同一些同伴一起行動。也可以單獨行動,做一些比較小型的作品。最重要的是,透過你們的作品在街道中發聲呢!我們相信街頭藝術的目的和責任是:用它來育敎大眾,縱使他們覺得這是犯法的,也是可以接受和體諒。這是一種表達方式而不是破櫰地方,是把藝術放在社區中!」要做到這樣,街頭作品才能真正的有效,香港的街頭藝術文化才能發展下去。所以,就讓我們在街中展示我們的才能吧!


最後,大概我們都需要為我們的社會發聲,而香港的街頭藝術也需要我們來充實。因此,好好玩和享受吧!讓我們一起繼續透過這種形式發聲!街頭藝術應該是一種文化,但不是只是一種潮流。來一起發揮藝術的力量吧:)


互相加油!

To the buddies who is spraying/going to spray,

Since the society, public and medias was drawn attention by the "graffitis" in Hong Kong now. We want people can treat it as an art activity rather than just a crime . Therefore, Here is some little opinions:

The incident of AWW is just a breakthrough point. Many of us have the anger and willing to speak out, to fight for our freedom and human rights. The street artworks did by "graffiti girl" has inspired the other people. After that, many smiliar street stencils and free style spray graffiti appearing gradually in Hong Kong. People was inspired, they started to turn their thinking into some pieces and expose them in the street. We appreciate it because this supposed to be the nature of street art.

In worldwide, what people think about that kind of street spraying? When you are creating some meaningful art pieces in the street, the art from can called as "STREET ART". It has become a important art culture in worldwide already! Many of you may heard about that. So, how can you do in the street for expression? Actually, it can be free style graffiti, stencils, stickers or wheatpaste...etc. Maybe you are full of question bubbles in you minds..it's ok! Go Google it, study and know more about it. You will discover so many meaningful and funny street art works in worldwide.

At this stage, you may doubt, what should I start with? where's my idea...blah blah blah...It's simple. First you should have your idea that you strongly believe in and mostly think. Then create something by any methods in this public art museum - street. We firmly believe no where in the public can't be a museum. Street is a very good institution for art that easy to let the society notice; to make people see, feel, think, reflect and discuss. But before that, people must not feel annoying once they see it. We believe good street artworks and smart street artist are always easier to accept by people and public. So, let's show our talent in street!

Hong Kong street art culture need to be enriched by you, you, you and us... Just enjoy, let's play and keep on what you are doing buddies! Street art supposed to be a culture but not just a trend. Encourage each other ;-)

Cheers.
A Yellow people

A ridiculous news was found in Hong Kong today. The politics pressure from Mainland to Hong Kong is extending. Unfortunately, White Terrer can't stop freedom and human's right. It will just make more!

YELLOSHIT is during constipation, coming out soon!


YELLOSHIT

YELLOSHIT is a shit made and came out from Yellow Workshop. Although it is just a piece of trash/shit/paper/wtevers, I don't care, They all have stories. Yellow need a shit to prove our creation and noise is still alive.

Please be patient, shits are coming out. Cheers ;)

What is a YELLOSHIT?
It is just a piece of sheet(shit) published freely and randomly by Yellow, online or printed, after per constipation. It Contains works from Yellow Workshop. Mainly focus in Illustrations and words.
Why YELLOSHIT?
You can't turn a food into a shit directly. Every shits had a stories. From a food to a shit. Every processes need to match perfectly to produce a healthy shit. It can be the final product after those working processes. So, do you think making a shit is such a natural digestion and easy process in a human body? I don't think so. At least many citizens has problem about constipation.
