About Carol Archer (aka 區勵志 )

2006-10-21T16:39:00.002+08:00

An exhibiting artist since the late 1980’s, Carol Archer’s works have been exhibited in Australia, Hong Kong, Japan, Italy and Macao. A number of pieces from her 1998 exhibition titled Skin to Work (Sydney) have been acquired by Artbank, an Australian government initiative that showcases contemporary art. Archer’s work may also be found in numerous private collections.

Carol Archer moved from Australia to the Pearl Delta region in 1998. Her exhibition Tai Mo Shan/Big Hat Mountain at the Montblanc Gallery in Hong Kong’s Fringe Club (2000) consisted of a series of mixed media scrolls that referenced Chinese iconography. In 2001, Archer’s watercolour, ink and photomedia pieces were exhibited in the art/poetry installation titled Shui Yi Meng/Sleep to Dream, also hosted by the Montblanc Gallery. In New Territories (2002), Archer’s photomedia works continued her exploration of Hong Kong’s urban environment. These three projects, collaborations with Australian writer-artist Christopher Kelen, attracted Hong Kong Arts Development Council funding and were published as full colour catalogues.

Since moving to Macao, Carol Archer has been invited to exhibit her work at Hong Kong’s Para/Site Art Space (2002, 2003), Sydney’s National Art School in Sydney (2004). In May 2005, Archer was nominated Artist of the Month by Macau Art Net and invited to present a solo exhibition online. In 2006, Archer completed a doctorate in the Department of Comparative Literature at the University of Hong Kong on modernist literature and contemporary painting.
Carol Archer is currently an Assistant Professor in the Visual Studies programme at Lingnan University in Hong Kong.
