一年一度的澳洲皇家墨爾本理工大學二零一三年藝術文學士畢業展即將舉行,由50位本地新進藝術家兼應屆畢業生參與的畢業展，將於七月六日至七月廿八日於香港藝術中心的包氏畫廊展覽廳正式展出。是次展覽名為「甲乙丙丁」，「甲乙丙丁」正好形容種子的生長歴程：「破土萌芽，草木初生，萬物炳然，成長壯實」。一顆種子，遇上了土壤、水份、陽光，甚至是風雨、乾旱……如今它破土萌芽，長出綠葉，莖木壯實，甚至可能發展成為茂林。
展示各位畢業生如何透過多元的媒介將種子注入新的創作意念,賦予種子的活力生命。當種子被播下，藝術家的人生歷程和經驗，使這顆種子萌芽、轉化並發展，最後或開花或結果或凋謝。透過這創作歴程而長成，集體的意念匯集創作不同媒介包括繪畫、陶藝、攝影、雕塑和多媒體裝置藝術的畢業作品。經過三年的學習，在我們的創作路上，同樣會遇到瓶頸或放下原有構思，開始新方向的時候。舊有的意念並不會白白浪費，因為凋謝枯萎的枝葉，都是下一個創作豐富的營養，是另一個循環的開始，繼而生生不息。藉此次展覽將這些不同種子所結之果呈現各位畢業生新穎的創作意念及細膩的情感表白。
它所代表的並非一個終結，卻是一個開始。

Preface
The annual signature exhibition at the bachelor degree level in Hong Kong, the Bachelor of Arts (Fine Art) Graduation Exhibition 2013 jointly presented by the Hong Kong Art School and the RMIT University will open this year from 6 July onwards for three weeks. 50 announced graduates majoring in Painting, Ceramics, Photography and Sculpture will be showcasing their graduation works in this annual signature exhibition from 6th July to 28th July, 2013 at Pao Gallery, Hong Kong Art Center, Wai Chai.
“Alpha to Infinity” is the title of Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology University (Hong Kong Campus) Graduation Exhibition 2013, projects a beautiful scenery when a seed is being planted into the soil, when there is rain, sunshine or wind, it will adapt to the environment and grow, transform, develop with green leaves, strong stems and as time goes by, we may have a lush forest as the fruitful result. Alpha is the first letter of the Greek alphabet; it also bears the value of 1.In English, the noun Alpha is used as a synonym for "Beginning". From "Alpha to Infinity", we take plants as a metaphor, with the input of our creativity to the seed of art; it will eventually grows into a powerful tree or blossoms as the most beautiful flower.
This exhibition is not only the harvesting moment of our fruitful studies, but also showcase our creativities, diverse artistic and aesthetic experiences in fine art including painting, ceramics, photography, sculpture and installation during our three years study. Every graduate will be expressing how to bring up the tiny seed at the beginning, while at the end it harvests into infinity from the exhibition. It sounds like a never ending cycle, and now we are having a brand new start.
