Youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind.
— Samuel Ullman
Play and interaction are common elements in contemporary art that could foster delightful surprises and ignite curiosity, imagination and creativity in visitors of all ages. As one of the invited project curators under Oi!'s Sparkle! series, I have invited six artists from different disciplines - Cheuk Wing-nam, Moss Ho, Koko Ko, Lau Ming-hang, Rogerger Ng and Thomas Yuen - who usually work with ‘fun and play' as core of their creations, to transform the exhibition space in Gallery II of Oil Street Art Space to an interactive funhouse brimming with whims and fantasies, to enliven and riddle out our humour, vitality, senses and curiosity to new knowledge during a playful journey. A series of creative and playful audience engagement activities are designed and presented during the exhibition period (now being compiled into this "Kai-kai Zine"), hoping to further inspire all of us to continue our youthful spirit in our own settings beyond the gallery.

青春不是年華,而是心境。
— 塞繆爾 ·厄爾曼
玩耍和互動是當代藝術中常見的元素,讓不同年齡的觀眾都能從中發現歡樂和驚喜,激發探究精神、想像和創造的潛力。受油街實現邀請作為他們火花!系列的其中一位項目策展人,我邀請了六位活躍於不同創作領域的藝術家:卓穎嵐、何翊雯、高便蓮、劉銘鏗、伍啟豪和袁永賢,一同以「玩樂」為創作軸心,將展覽空間轉化為充滿玩味、互動與妙想的耍樂場,與觀眾一同遊玩,擁抱青春的心境,發掘及激活大家的幽默感、活力、感官及對新知識的好奇心。展覽期間,我們也設計並舉辦了一系列創意耍樂活動讓共眾參加,—現輯錄成這冊《耍樂誌》,希望大家能籍此在展廳以外延續青春耍樂的心境。
