刘小康将于六月中在精艺轩画廊上演他的椅子戏第二回，这是他两年前演出的延续篇。
把精心设计的椅子发展为实用品，一直以来是刘小康的避世方法，每天他一方面要督导他与靳棣强合作的设计公司，另一方面又有众多的公职承担，在忙里偷闲时，他则会搅搅自己的椅子戏。
他选用椅子来消闲，原因只有一个：椅是我们日常不可或缺的用具，与人们有直接连系；他把椅与人们连系上，同时亦把椅与椅连在一起。
刘小康现时是香港设计中心的董事局主席。在这次展览中，部份展品的三份之一收益，将拨捐香港设计中心作设计推广之用。
椅子戏第二回的展品当然包括椅，与椅有关的设计品、及限量版而可供日常使用的椅子。刘小康与香港设计中心合作的 [Creation 9707] 计划的设计项目，亦将会在六月廿二日开始同场展出。
精艺轩画廊位于中环嘉咸街３５号地铺（近荷李活道与摆花街交界）。如欲访问艺术家或查询展览的详情可电邮 dyiu@artbeatus.com.hk 或致电 2522.1138 向Dominic Chan 或 2526.0818 向 Josephine Hau 查询。
画廊开放时间：星期一至六 11:30am-7:30pm 星期日及公众假期休息 Press Release
Freeman Lau plays it out again with chairs in his up-coming exhibition - Chairplay II - at Art Beatus Gallery in mid June. The exhibition, this time, is a continuation of his creative ideas that was put on display two years ago.
Turning ingenious designs into liveable art forms has become an escape for Lau from his hectic daily agenda, overseeing a successful design business as well as performing various public duties.
He says that his conceptual manipulation of chairs starts for one simple reason: chairs are naturally connected to people, as they are essential parts of our daily life. He hopes to connect chairs to people and, at the same time, connect chairs to themselves.
Lau is a leading commercial designer in Hong Kong and the Chairman of the Board of
Directors of the Hong Kong Design Centre.
In this exhibition, Lau will show creative works composed of chairs, models of his conceptual designs and fully functional limited-edition chairs. Some of the exhibits have already been shown in the Tokyo International Art Fair and Taipei International Art Fair.
One third of the sale proceeds from selected exhibition items will be donated to the Hong Kong Design Centre for supporting the promotion of Hong Kong design.
