Hijack is an important concept in contemporary arts. The pioneers are Duchamps, Dali, Warhol. They hijacked daily life objects and made them become art pieces and shocked people at that time. Now, hijack being an idea so familiar and close to our daily life, and The Black Store says: why not hijack Art for our daily life? And so here comes the show: non-artists making creative works based on the theme hijack, and present it in a proper arts space.

By playing with the concept and creating works based on daily life experience, this group of young people are trying to provoke the audience to think about Arts as a daily life experience.
There will be sculptures, installation, illustration, posters, paintings, 3D printing, performing arts and creative text in the exhibition. The exhibition starts from 18 Jan to 8 Feb 2014 (except on Sundays, Lunar New Year and public holidays) at Red Elation Gallery.
