Elsie Huang’s 9 Months: A White Crow
A simple day, on a simple outing with a friend in the U.K.
brought about [A White Crow], just a simple joke, a simple
thought, and a little fascination. I guess that’s how most
dreams began.
It is surreal, perhaps, life have always been, at least for me.
Since conceiving [A White Crow] 9 months ago, the ‘due’
date finally approaches.
Through this eventful 9 months of tiresome yet amazing
journey as I recollect, it was a turbulent period of time from the
start, from the initial passion, excitement till the confusion,
frustration and finally the coming of this new life, yet the
journey is only about to begin.
The initial form of [A White Crow] is conceived as a gallery/store
that houses what I would define as creative work with integrity.
An expression of liberation and a celebration of creativity with
no boundaries separated by petty differences, differences should
be appreciated as a quality that moulds individuality and personality,
which is the spirit of [A White Crow].
In my quest for the creative ‘components’ for [A White Crow],
it came a time it was so daunting that giving up would seem best,
‘surprises’ keep coming up for the better or worst, from haunted
spaces for the store to disagreement with the collaborators, it is
amusing when I think about it now, but at that point of time, it is hell.
But somehow, miracles do happen in life.
Aside from all the hard work,
good people started coming by to help solve the dire situations,
they almost seem divine when they appear with a halo and delivered
salvation. I really appreciate all the support they have provided before
and would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude.
I hope [A White Crow] would become a cross junction of not only
creativity but of the traffic that depicts the flow of multi-cultural harmony.
黃琇雯與白烏鴉的九個三十天
倫敦，一個極為平常的日子，和一次極為平常的朋友聚會，
[白烏鴉]這個念頭出現在一個極為平常的玩笑、
一些極為平常的念頭，和一點想像。我猜，
大部分的夢都是這樣開頭的。
也許人生就是超現實的，至少對我來說是這樣子。
自從[白烏鴉]九個月前的弄假成真，一直到這個[到期日]的來臨，
都一直很超現實。這九個[製造]白烏鴉的三十天對我來說
就像一場奇妙的冒險，從小小的熱情、一些驚險刺激，到迷惘、
挫折，然後終於誕生的新生命。這個新生命卻不是一個結束，
它是一個開始。
白烏鴉的精神，簡單來說是把我自己定義下的原創作品，
放進這個結合展覽空間和商店的房子裡，無界線地去的表達
[創意自由]的想法，
並且放下對創作人背景的刻板印象，無差別地對待每一個
有趣的原創精神和創意的個體。
在尋找組成白烏鴉零件的過程中，不能說一直都是勇往直前的，
製造過程中總有些[小驚喜]一直不斷跳出來，好的壞的，
從尋找座落的地點和與合作者的溝通，一切片段和畫面，
現在想起來都是數也數不清的會心一笑，可在那當下，
那就像地獄一般。不過奇蹟是會發生的，
那就是在途中一直不斷出現有如戴著光圈的天使，
我的好朋友們和所有伸出手幫忙的人們，
這所有的辛苦都因為他們而變的甜美，
在這裡由衷的感謝。
所以對於白烏鴉這個從我的九個三十天孵出的新生命，
希望它會和很多夢想產生連結，並且飛的很好。
