A photograph of old Hong Kong makes us wonder, was this really the Wellington street that I set foot on today? How fast was traffic back then? How was it like to walk up to the Mid-Levels, before the escalator was set in place, before the wet markets made way for bars and restaurant? And how would the story change, if we find a handwritten letter of someone recounting those experiences from so many years ago?

If a picture tells a story better than a hundred words, so does a piece of primary, archival material. Earlier from February to April at Hong Kong University Museum and Art Gallery, a selection of archival materials was in display to complement the story which the exhibition “Encounters: Twentieth-century Chinese Art from the Khoan and Michael Sullivan Collection” tried to tell. Amongst these materials are correspondences between the collector and artists from decades ago, where artists sometimes recounted the hardships of sustaining a living, and at the same time, the jovial moments of encountering like-minded individuals to share their love of art. 5.39.217.76& K3 k/ e, R Z$ w- ~3 m5 G

Would players of the art field – those artists, writers, curators, gallerists, collectors alike - keep such materials? What would happen to these materials if its owner dies? Or would academics have their private collection too (they tend to accumulate an exponential amount of research materials, don’t you think so?)? Or also some eccentric individuals who just have a collecting obsession?

These questions are endless, and the answers to them, are perhaps, a case-by-case scenario. And these scenarios, like life, vary and surprise us in both good and bad ways.

到此，我們姑且不跳進「香港有沒有藝術史」或「誰在書寫香港的藝術史」等議題。

嘗試後退一步， 問──什麼是我們想要的藝術史？如果我們要書寫立體而多角度的藝術史，甚至是多重共存的平行藝術史，像堆積木一樣，我們到底需要什麼基本元素？需要訪問紀錄或口述歷史嗎？那第一手文獻資料呢？攝影記錄？

更重要的問題是，我們有沒有現存資料？如果有的話，這些是什麼資料，現在在哪裡？

藝術生態的不同人物──藝術家、作家、策展人、畫廊、收藏家等──他們又收集了什麼文獻？若主人不幸離世，文獻會怎樣處理？學術界會不會也收集了不少（聽說教授們的辦公室都是翻天覆地的堆滿文件）？ 或者有人特別喜歡收集藝術文獻，拍攝展覽情況？5.39.217.76+ \; \* S+ K4 i* n u4 e: c2 d
4 L1 m8 x4 B; n2 P問題可以一直無止境問下去，而答案嘛，也許是很籠統的「按個別情況而定」。這些個別情況，像生活一樣難以預料，有驚喜，也有失落。然而，當我們開始發問，便是尋找的第一步。 |
