About ah ah ah art!
Established in 2023 by Caesar Li, Zhen Xiong, Evelyn Han and Yue Yang in collaboration with ACCA, ah ah ah art! is a social art club for Chinese speaking communities to engage with contemporary art and artists. The group aims to further build understanding, awareness and support for contemporary art in Chinese speaking communities.
The name of the art club is derived from one of the most commonly used sounds in language, “ah”, which is often used to express exclamations, surprises, questions, and other moods. In the Chinese language, the four tones give the language different expressions and meanings, and the same expression exists in different cultures and languages.
āh: Thinking, Hesitating
áh: Questioning
ǎh: Enlightening, “ah-ha” moment
àh: Surprising, Exclamation
The name āh áh ǎh àrt! reflects our love for art and the endless possibilities of artistic expression. We encourage everyone to give “ah ah ah art!” their own unique interpretation by varying the length, tone, and meaning of the phrase, allowing for diverse perspectives and ideas to be expressed.
