錄映太奇呈獻
貝思比格斯 (美國)異地聲遊﹕香港
一張九龍城寨地圖，加上貝思比格斯多年前在重慶大廈的經歷和回憶，造就了今次的合作計劃。美國藝術家及作曲家貝思比格斯與本地藝術家楊嘉輝將到對方的城市作為期一週的異地生活體驗，利用在當地所收集的物件、聲音和圖片等，創作多媒體裝置藝術。
作為一位積極推動聲音藝術的作曲家，貝思比格斯視自己為一個專業流浪者，收集來自世界各地的聲音和敘事片段，透過不同聲音處理和重建，抽象地展示她的想法和經歷。
是次在錄映太奇展出的《異地聲遊 - 香港》，貝思比格斯將利用豐富的想像力和創意構建自己心目中的香港， 並帶領香港觀眾進入一個連接香港與羅德島文化交匯的新領域。展覽將會以舞台形式擺放，讓觀眾有置身其境的感覺，親身發掘藝術家眼中的香港。

Artist:
Betsey Biggs (USA)
Inspired simply by an old map of Kowloon Walled City and her experience staying in Chungking Mansions many years ago, Betsey Biggs feeds her curiosity for the city of Hong Kong through a collaborative project with local artist Samson Young.
Both artists will spend one week in each other’s respective city. Based on their experiences abroad in an unfamiliar and foreign space, they will create an audio-visual installation by using the detritus collected in each other's city. To display her interpretation of Hong Kong, Biggs will use objects, images, soundscape, as well as other inexpensive materials found in the city. Through the collection, she will construct her own version of Hong Kong city.
Biggs will present her installation, providing an opportunity for people to explore Hong Kong through her audio-visual experience and step into a secret porthole connecting Hong Kong and Providence, Rhode Island.
***'Foreign Exchange' is a collaboration between Betsey Biggs (USA) and Samson Young (HK). Another part of the project "FOREIGN EXCHANGE: PROVIDENCE" by Samson Young will be carried out at Brown University, Providence in late April 2011.
