Designed and made using fading crafts and techniques in local tram depots, HK Tramways is chosen by “Classic Craft, Modern Meaning” for its cultural and historical significance to pay tribute to local craftsmanship, and also demonstrates how art could be publicly accessible, as well as a contribution to the society.

Ranging from an interactive ceramics installation by Amanda that captures the sound of Mahjong shuffling, to Frédéric’s animation triggered by the tram movement, Jun’s ceramic installation utilising the natural light from the upper deck window, as well as GoHung’s immersive work that allows passengers to experience the life of a caged bird within the tram…

By displaying these thoughtful artworks in CKL’s carefully curated tram, they hope to demonstrate the relevance of these fading crafts and skills with a creative and contemporary approach, giving modern meaning to these respectful classic crafts.

香港電車是全港唯一在本地採用傳統手工藝和技術進行設計和製造的交通工具,因此「Classic Craft, Modern Meaning」選擇了在香港電車上進行展覽以表彰其文化和歷史意義,希望向本地手工技藝致敬,讓公眾可近距離接觸傳統藝術的魅力,從而回饋社會。

從 Amanda 捕捉麻雀洗牌時互相擊打的聲音而創作的新奇互動陶瓷裝置,到 Frédéric 運用電車行駛動態時所觸發雀鳥的優美動態,再到淳利用上層甲板窗戶而滲透迷人自然光的陶瓷裝置藝術,以及 GoHung 的沉浸式藝術作品,讓乘客以新角度於電車中體驗籠中鳥的生活…
