建築中的藝術：香港雕塑藝術家張義實踐中的美學蛻變與前衛精神 Art in Architecture: Aesthetic Transmutation and the Avant-Garde Spirit in Hong Kong Sculptor Cheung Yee’s Artistic Practice

本講座聚焦香港藝術家張義於1960年代至1980年代的雕塑創作。透過探討其作品美學的發展、組裝技術的運用及雕塑形態的蛻變，闡述他如何將藝術從畫廊帶入現代建築與日常生活空間，推動亞洲大都會美學的形成。此講座亦重新思考香港藝術家在亞洲經濟迅速轉型時期所扮演的文化角色，以及張義作品所展現的時代意義與前衛精神。

This lecture focuses on the artistic practice of Hong Kong sculptor Cheung Yee from the 1960s to the 1980s. By examining the aesthetic trajectory of his sculptures, his use of assemblage technique, and the transmutation of sculptural forms across different registers, it illustrates how Cheung expanded the reach of his art beyond the gallery, integrating it instead into modern architecture and everyday life. By exploring how his artworks and commissioned projects contributed to the emergence of a cosmopolitan urban aesthetic in Asia, the lecture also re-examines the cultural role played by Hong Kong artists during a period of rapid economic transformation across the region, while highlighting the avant-garde spirit embodied in Cheung’s works.
