<回憶是飲料>黎振寧個展

新進藝術家黎振寧於2010年獲澳洲皇家墨爾本理工大學(香港藝術學院合辦)藝術學士。 黎氏是一位新進有活力的藝術家，作品常以身體作為媒介去描述個人或群體之間的尋常經歷。

自今年中在學位課程畢業展中首次獲得關注後，黎氏繼續努力籌備和參與各類型展覽，如‘出爐 二零一一’藝術系畢業生聯展、‘窺月’行為藝術演出及‘人人可攝影’攝影展。是次展覽乃正/側畫廊首次舉辦的藝術家個人展，亦是黎振寧的首次個展。　

＜回憶是飲料＞　展覽中，藝術家選了39個在工作時飲用過的飲品空樽然後重造。一個個空樽象徵了飲料進入身體後被吸收再轉化的生理過程。藝術家從新審視喝枝裝飲料的這個普遍行為，並把它體會成為一種私密的個人回憶記錄。
