“Imaginary of Ham Sandwich
In the realm of Old English, the word 'Ham' transcended its meaty origins and became a symbol of community and belonging—a village where hearts found their home. Bread, on the other hand, a seemingly humble necessity, has a history spanning thousands of years. The baking of bread is a craft that has been refined over time through repeated experimentation, and it embodies the importance of sustenance and life itself. Food processing has driven the development of human civilization. The modern sandwich inhibits the growth of bacteria, ensuring it remains fresh and controllable under specific conditions. The sandwich, a highly processed and convenient food, is a testament to that.

Presented by Karin Weber Gallery‘Tong1 fong4,’ when pronounced in Cantonese, denotes a subdivided flat, a common living arrangement in Hong Kong where locals with limited budget share working or living spaces. It may be a constraint but also serves as catalysts for artists to develop innovative solutions.

Seeds of Remembrance marks a beginning of the third travelling series of nProjekt. Different from the previous two artist-centric series, Under•Line and Non-Solo, it is a theme- and process-driven project designed to evolve through a two-month residency. It was arranged to come into being at a place far away from both artists' home city, where is simply at the opposite end of the globe. The climate, the population density, the speed of living, road traffic and many others are plain different from home.
Seeds of Remembrance is a metaphor of easy-to-carry and -store sources of life, which keep memories, identities and potentials of their origins. It proposes conversations about how art and artefact, which represent memories, histories, melancholies, and contentments, could be collected, displayed, preserved and reproduced, intentionally or unconsciously, for the existence of what they represent. It also suggests a search of nutritions for growth and adaptation, developing new roots and varieties.

Reclaiming Little Things –
A Non-Solo of Lee Suet Ying in association with John Aiken, Ho Siu Kee and Jaffa Lam
李雪盈 聯同 莊藝勤 何兆基 林嵐
An exploratory exhibition series
探索展覧系列
curated by Jamsen Law
羅琛堡策劃
Art making is a way
Exhibition making is another
Non-Solo highlights multi-layered exploration and dialogues, not solo would do
Art making is a learning process
learning from the medium, learning from the subject matter
most importantly, how a person thinks and feels
artistically processes the surroundings
創作係一種方法，展示係另一種。多層次嘅探索同對話，唔係一支公
創作亦係一種學習，通過媒介，通過題材；甚至體會，人係點樣思考同感受，理解周遭

Wished to be stronger
Wished to be calmer
To move on, to let them return to nature
A rebuild from the ground up, for fantasy and security
夠硬正，就好。
淡淡然，就好。
隨緣，由佢哋回歸自然
從底到頂，由頭嚟過
想像吓，搵返個安全感
