About the Talk
Publishing is never easy and publishing art books in Hong Kong is even more challenging. Since founding Asia One Books in 1997, Mr. Peter Lau has led his company to create illustrative books representing the city’s art scene as it develops – documenting its fascinating stories while bringing wider exposure to Hong Kong’s most talented artists, photographers, illustrators and designers. Each publication can be regarded as a work of art in itself, which is created with unstinting dedication to craftsmanship in design, colour management and printing.
Mr. Peter Lau, Publisher of Asia One Books, will share with us his vision and experience of working with legendary photographers like Fan Ho, Michael Wolf and Daido Moriyama, and also emerging artists such as Jeanie Leung and KC Kwan (Winner of the First Hong Kong Photo Book Awards).
Students will get 1-hour course credit after attending the Talk for fulfillment of Healthy Lifestyle (HLTH1010) Course Requirements. Please bring along your student cards for record taking. Limited space, please register.
出版業向來面對重重挑戰與難關；如要於香港經營藝術出版社，更是難上加難。自2007年成立宏亞出版社以來，劉文邦先生致力出版以圖像為主的藝術書籍，並以推廣香港題材及本地藝術家為目標，希望讓他們的作品更為人熟悉，並開拓更廣闊的市場。宏亞出版的書籍猶如藝術創作一樣匠心獨運，從概念構思、色彩管理、印刷製作均一絲不苟，屢獲業界肯定。
劉先生將與我們分享他的出版抱負，亦會談及過往與一眾攝影大師包括何藩、Michael Wolf、森山大道，以及新晉藝術家如梁媛媛和關錦昌（首屆攝影集比賽冠軍）的合作經驗。
出席此讀書會的同學可獲HLTH1010課程中"Activities"單元的"Wellness and Personal Enrichment" 一小時學習時數。同學須於入場及離場時出示學生證以作記錄。名額有限，請報名留座。
