Oi!, Hong Kong 香港：油街实现

Tucked away in the quiet neighbourhood of North Point in Hong Kong, Oil Street Art Space (a.k.a. Oi!) sparkles as an art gem, where all the artistic dialogue takes place within the community. Just walking around Oi! is worth the trip. Built-in 1908 as the clubhouse of the Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club, a Grade II historic building, Oi!’s three buildings are of Arts & Crafts style, namely, Oi! Glassie, outdoor areas for Oi! Garden, Oi! Lounge, and Oi! Deck. all beautifully restored. A large lawn dotted with mature trees tie the complex together and provide an oasis of green in otherwise densely urban North Point. There are a few outdoor art pieces on display, and best of all, the staff encourages walking on the lawn!

位于北角及炮台山附近的油街实现，是一所拥有红砖瓦顶的二级历史建筑，每个月会举办各类艺术展览及公众参与活动，集合了不同形式的艺术装置。油街实现在 1905 年被香港皇家游艇会设为总部时，已与艺术扯上关系。最有趣的是，它的名字取自所在地北角油街 12 号的谐音，也蕴含 “实现” 艺术家梦想之意，英文名字 “Oi! (Oil)” 则是年青人打招呼常用语。油街实现建在车来车往的马路旁边也是有趣的地方，馆内浓厚的文化艺术气息与旁边马路的热闹营造出一种反差气氛。一进去就能看到一片绿油油的大草原，令人有种置身于大自然的感觉，在香港已经少见了，更何况在闹市之中，真想直接躺在草上感受艺术气息!
