They say, a picture is worth a thousand words. A photograph of old Hong Kong makes us wonder, was this really the Wellington street that I set foot on today? How fast was traffic back then? How was it like to walk up to the Mid-Levels, before the escalator was set in place, before the wet markets made way for bars and restaurant? And how would the story change, if we find a handwritten letter of someone recounting those experiences from so many years ago? 0 m& u' }+ U2 ?& ]( ctvb now,tvbnow,bttvb # T7 @4 u9 Q* e 1 t& Q" t9 b! g- j5 c, p% I1950 Wellington streetTVBNOW 含有熱門話題，最新最快電視，軟體，遊戲，電影，動漫及日常生活及興趣交流等資訊。* z& Q8 A3 R- ]( W( c0 f. m
1 q2 ]2 x/ C/ U/ I, U- ]! s$ }If a picture tells a story better than a hundred words, so does a piece of primary, archival material. Earlier from February to April at Hong Kong University Museum and Art Gallery, a selection of archival materials was in display to complement the story which the exhibition “Encounters: Twentieth-century Chinese Art from the Khoan and Michael Sullivan Collection” tried to tell. Amongst these materials are correspondences between the collector and artists from decades ago, where artists sometimes recounted the hardships of sustaining a living, and at the same time, the jovial moments of encountering like-minded individuals to share their love of art. 公仔箱論壇. z.

Let us take a step back, and ask – what are the building blocks we need for us to write art histories, that form the conception consisting of multiple voices and perspectives? Do we need oral interviews? Archival materials? What about photo documentation? : |: O; p5 ]+ s1 D# W9 l1 }) j! l3 ^TVBNOW 含有熱門話題，最新最快電視，軟體，遊戲，電影，動漫及日常生活及興趣交流等資訊。 os.tvboxnow.com8 Z9 }. M6 K8 p! o; `

2 F1 Q2 s2 l/ Q- Ytvb now,tvbnow,bttvbWould players of the art field – those artists, writers, curators, gallerists, collectors alike - keep such materials? What would happen to these materials if its owner dies? Or would academics have their private collection too (they tend to accumulate an exponential amount of research materials, don’t you think so?)? Or also some eccentric individuals who just have a collecting obsession? ' x0 N n# @' d3 i' u nTVBNOW 含有熱門話題，最新最快電視，軟體，遊戲，電影，動漫及日常生活及興趣交流等資訊。 tvb now,tvbnow,bttvb2 @; z. `) D4 I& {3 w
These questions are endless, and the answers to them, are perhaps, a case-by-case scenario. And these scenarios, like life, vary and surprise us in both good and bad ways. Yet again, when we begin to ask these questions, the quest begins.! y6 D/ f+ M$ d

他們總是說，一張圖片勝過千言萬語。 看一張老香港照片，你也許會問，哇，這真是威靈頓街？當年的交通有現在那麼惡劣嗎？沒有半山扶手電梯，人們真的徒步上山嗎？蘇豪區在酒吧林立以前，究竟是怎樣的？如果有天你找到一封描寫當年中上環的手寫信，故事又會怎樣？: _1 g- \9 J- n, N
