1. EXHIBITION BACKGROUNDcomiX eXchange Series

Taking Comix Home Base as a testing ground, local comics artists and creators working in other artistic fields are bringing about comiX eXchange, a series of six exhibitions of massive innovation exchange. Based on the theme "Experienced Artist x Emerging Artist" and “Comics Artist X Artist of Other Media”, six pairs of participating artists will come up with cross-media creations that foster new ways of viewing comics.

Presented by Hong Kong Arts Centre and Comix Home Base under the sponsorship of Create Hong Kong of the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, comiX eXchange not only make artists from different disciplines and backgrounds come together and collaborate, but also calls for public participation. In addition to exhibitions, there will be master classes and workshops in which artists share their works and experiences. People interested in joining the creative profession are invited to take part and experiment with the multiplying effect of creative crossover.

The series started with the first edition in April 2015 to showcase the interweave of audio and visual partnership of Khoo Fuk-Lung and Choi Sai-ho, while the second edition held in July presented Toe Yuen and Ping Pong’s comics/illustration art jam. Now the third edition makes a twist to feature local pioneer parodist Kam Siu-man and the emerging online prankster GALAMAN in a battle of wits.

1. EXHIBITION BACKGROUNDcomiX eXchange Series

Kam Siu-man established his career as a parodist in 1980s with the comics Tai-kung Pao in Jademan Comics (Yuk-long Manhua Bi-weekly). Kam’s Highest Goal comics series, which parodies world-known football stars, is one of his biggest hits.

On the other hand, GALAMAN is famous for his online animation series GALAMAN. Current affairs are illustrated and mocked in the animation. Then the hero GALAMAN shows up, fights the monsters and saves the city.

These two great parodists have worked together to create two animations featuring social absurdity. Battling the best out of each other’s drawing skills and quick wit, they are delivering a seriously funny comics and animation exhibition in this September.

4. ARTIST’S PROFILE – KAM SIU-MAN

Markets change like weather. There was a time when martial arts comics was in such vogue, but humorous works including Kam’s were not popular and hardly sold. In 1997, Kam was on the verge of applying for social assistance, the signature line of Ting Hai from the local well-known TV drama, The Greed of Man, “You Honour, I am not guilty!”, pulled him back to chasing his dream. He decided to self-publish comics and gained a decent living by publishing Highest Goal. The success was followed up by works such as Country Urine, Urethral Affairs, Iron Kumquat, Poop of No Return, Humorous Wong Fei Hung, Deepwater Tarzan and Funny Unbeatables.

PART 1 About the exhibition

6. How did you know about the activity/programme?

63.3% visitors knew the exhibition through HKAC and CHB publicity, for instance, the leaflets, posters,Facebook Page and the official website while 45.6% especially from HKAC and CHB e-promotionplatform which there was a 16.9% raise when comparing to Comix Exchange Series II (28.6%). Therewere 38 respondents visiting because of their Friends/Family/Colleagues. Apart from that, 55 out ofthem were passed by the exhibition venue nor attracted to CHB architecture. The figure shows andproves CHB as a successful grooming ani-com audience cultural venue, generating 25.6% visitors amongall. Meanwhile, around 16-18% visitors knew it through school and other social media, in particularly0.9% from artist’s social media. It is non-deniable to say that e-promotion is crucial to exhibitions, givingthat a total of 54% as the main source. As there was an extension event in Series III, Live Drawing Activityat Time Square, it drew 3 of the respondents. Despite of not convincing figure from the respondents, theextension event has given chances for the artists to interact with general public, instead of the exhibitionitself.

在電視機前可加椅子

Beautiful historic building is good for such events

animation 有沒有sources 可以之後重溫

如加設一些大檯,可以放在大檯上看畫就好多些

我覺得是次的展覽重點應在於作者的動畫項目, 應擺放座位, 給多些觀賞人士收看
