何穎雅  Elaine W. Ho

何穎雅(易領W. HO、何子) ,1977年生於美國,現漂世界各地。1999年畢業於美國莱斯大學藝術及藝術歷史系,其後於紐約帕森設計學院學習服裝設計,現為媒體理論及歐陸哲學碩士研究生。作為一名藝術、都市實踐及設計工作者,她 的作品多藉由不同面向的藝術語言,探索人、空間、組織與日常生活之間纏結的微觀政治關係。她以共同合作作為其工作模式及基礎,因此她的作品,如聲音/影像、記錄片及介入行動等,都探索一種人對人、社群網絡式生產的可能性。2008-2013年, 她合作組織了「家作坊」,將北京一條老胡同中一個臨街店鋪改造成與當地社區及附近公共空間互動的住宅/工作室。透過組織不同的協作活動如工作坊、研究、田野錄音,「家作坊」及其獨立出版物《穿》雜誌,期望發展出一個開放平台,藉以探索一種同時依附又脫離於經濟生產模式的關係。她平日好飲鴛鴦。

Elaine W. HO (HK / USA) works between the realms of time-based art, urban practice and design, using multiple vocabularies to explore the micropolitics, subjectivities and the alter-possibilities of an intimate, networked production. The act of describing takes on a number of forms-a kind of grammar, documentation, gesture, and biography-or a project in Beijing known as HomeShop. She is the initiator of the artist-run space, active from 2008-2013, and was most recently a fellow at the Institut für Raumexperimente in Berlin. She likes to drink Yinyang, a drink mixing coffee and tea and is a frequent contributor at www.iwishicoulddescribeittoyoubetter.net.

吞拿魚奬  Tuna Prize

「吞拿魚奬」(Tuna Prize) 的名稱概念是由英國的 Turner Prize 而引發的。Turner Prize 於1984年成立,是一個頒予英國五十歲或以下年青藝術家的年度當代藝術獎項,由英國 Tate Gallery舉辦,於 Tate Britain舉行。曾獲獎的藝術家均耳熟能詳,如 Damien Hirst、Tracey Emin、Rachel Whiteread、Gilbert & George等。

「吞拿魚奬」是一項由香港浸會大學視覺藝術院舊生頒予應屆畢業生的獎項,由第一屆舊生發起並於2009年成立。每年評審的角色由歷屆舊生擔任,目的是開放評審制度的平台,透過年輕藝術家的評審眼光,前瞻本地藝術的最新趨向。因此,對於每屆新畢業生而言,「吞拿魚奬」乃一項別具特殊意義的奬項。奬項期望能由每年的新一屆畢業生延續下去。每年只設一位得獎者,得獎者將獲得獎金、獎座及證書,藉此表達對傑出畢業作品的欣賞,並以實質支持鼓勵我們的「下一代」積極創作。

“Tuna Prize” is a local award inspired by the Turner Prize, an annual prize present to outstanding British visual artists under the age of 50, organized by the Tate Gallery and staged at Tate Britain. Founded in 1984, it is a contemporary art award celebrating new developments in contemporary art. Famous winners include Damien Hirst, Tracey Emin, Rachel Whiteread, Gilbert & George, etc.

Founded in 2009 by the first batch of alumni of the Academy of Visual Arts, Hong Kong Baptist University, “Tuna Prize” is an award present to one preeminent graduate every year. Judges are alumni from the last few batches of the academy. Latest trend of local art can be seen through the eyes of the young artists’ jury panel. Thus, “Tuna Prize” carries a special meaning for every fresh graduate. We hope the graduates of coming years can continue in fueling this tradition.The winner of “Tuna Prize” will receive a certificate, a trophy and cash award, as a recognition to the excellent artwork and to cheer on our ‘next generation’
