Hong Kong Heritage Museum Exhibition on 17 June 



It was my first time to have a lesson outside classroom at university. It is exciting for me. The first gallery we visited was "Walking in The Dreams". The Gallery includes art works from 13 artists.

I particularly like the works below from Ordinary Cavemen using carton box to construct his dream house. Unlike typical dream houses which are normally gorgeous, a big garden, swimming pool, awesome interior design and so on. Cavemen made this dream house tiny, packed and messy which is quite different from people generally think about. 

Cavemen brings people back to reality. We might fancy and aim high but we might not get what we want all the time. I think Cavemen might want to emphasis this message to the audience that dream is dream and the real world is just different. We need to face the reality somehow. 





This is another art work I like. Hundreds of chinese and western styled toys put on the floor. This isnt much information of this art work but it definitely recalled my memory of my children.  I remember the good memory when I was a child. I do think that life as a child pass more happily. As a kid, there is not much to worry about. However, I need to worry about my study, career, relationship with girlfriend and so on. I rather prefer a simple life.



Overall, it is quite an interesting gallery to understand how others dream about.
