For What It’s Worth
Ceramic Experimentations by Julie & Jesse
Each day, we tend to accept the established values assigned to objects, whether dictated by market forces or cultural associations. In this exhibition, Julie & Jesse will present their latest works, which stem from their extensive creative and research exploration of mining resources from the urban environment. By fusing the city’s discarded and overlooked materials with ceramics, they bring the unseen into view and elevate the unwanted to the forefront. Each find is an opportunity to unpack stories across time and space, hidden within the material. This process of generating new value for the devalued subverts, redefines and expands our current perception of the worth of materials.

I look forward to presenting a group of paintings at the Made In Hong Kong exhibition at Art Central this coming May 26 to 29 at the Hong Kong Convention & Exhibition Centre.
Made In Hong Kong, is a special exhibition at Art Central 2022, that features the artistic creation of Hong Kong-based independent artists and visual practitioners.
Of the over 650 individual artwork applications received, 65 works by 40 artists were selected to be exhibited.
The participants represent diverse backgrounds, including both professionally trained and self-taught artists, as well as designers and writers.
Their works cover a wide range of media, from painting, photography and sculpture to print and installation, and explore the fabric of their surroundings through multiple senses – visual, audio and tactile.
Some of the artworks on view delineate urban spaces using realistic, abstract, or speculative approaches; some touch upon personal perceptions via analytical or affective expressions.
Prevailingly, the urban and quotidian spaces within the artworks are interwoven with the artists’ memories, dreams, words, research and experiments – presenting visual creations made in Hong Kong with multifaceted perspectives and abundant energies.

Ilivetomorrow gallery
At 0010 1101 0101 Space, Caochangdi, Beijing
Ilivetomorrow presents a unique experience of the recent editions and productions of Ilivetomorrow with its LIMITEDunLIMITED Editions project.
Radical Materiality shows one year of collaboration between Ilivetomorrow and Designers, Artists, Architects from China, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Taiwan, Hong Kong and France.
Radical Materiality proposes to the Beijing Design week a selection of objects, nobjects and installations reflecting conceptual and formal researches.
Beyond Design perspectives and industrial issues, Radical Materiality explores the physical limitations of forms and materials and expresses the complex relations between Conceptual explorations, fabrication processes and materialization.
The diversity of the various projects presented by Ilivetomorrow in Beijing is a manifesto to the recurrent seduction of materials and memory.
Jesse Mc Lin and Julie Progin with Fragment(s) and Bloom and Rolling Sofa by Pedro Campos propose a post-archeology of form, nature and memories.
Bruno Costa has created ironic icons reflecting is conceptual experience in China, the poetry of lightness of the works of Xiaodong are a sensitive ephemeral expression of nature, the hybrid furniture of the Fashion designers CCChu and Nicola Borg-Pisani proposes new domestic environments, Pili Wu’s chair is an intensive dialog with industrial craft, etc.
Radical Materiality is an experience to object recognition toward a teleology of materiality where objects and prototypes emphasizes the conceptual and visual knowledge.
