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.
Lau’s designs for “Creation 9707”, a collaboration between him and the Hong Kong
Design Centre,
will also be launched and put on display in the exhibition on June 22 (Friday), 2007.
Art Beatus Gallery is located at 35-39 Graham Street, ground floor, Central.

椅子戲 第二回
劉小康作品展
精藝軒畫廊 香港中環嘉咸街35號地舖
展覽日期：2007年6月15日至7月3日
開幕時間：2007年6月15日（星期五）下午6時30分至8時30分
藝術家將出席開幕酒會
劉小康將於六月中在精藝軒畫廊上演他的椅子戲第二回，這是他兩年前演出的延續篇。
把精心設計的椅子發展為實用品，一直以來是劉小康的避世方法，每天他一方面要督導他與靳棣強合作的設計公司，另一方面又有眾多的公職承擔，在忙裏偷閒時，他則會攪攪自己的椅子戲。
他選用椅子來消閒，原因只有一個：椅是我們日常不可或缺的用具，與人們有直接連系；他把椅與人們連系上，同時亦把椅與椅連在一起。
劉小康現時是香港設計中心的董事局主席。在這次展覽中，部份展品的三份之一收益，將撥捐香港設計中心作設計推廣之用。
椅子戲第二回的展品當然包括椅，與椅有關的設計品、及限量版而可供日常使用的椅子。劉小康與香港設計中心合作的 [Creation 9707] 計劃的設計項目，亦將會在六月廿二日開始同場展出。
精藝軒畫廊位於中環嘉咸街35號地舖（近荷李活道與擺花街交界）。查詢 dyiu@artbeatus.com.hk 或致電 2522.1138 / 2526.0818
畫廊開放時間：星期一至六 11:30am-7:30pm 星期日及公眾假期休
