策劃「Days, Times, Meals」 展覽從討論「何謂藝術」這個問題開始醞釀。生活與藝術從來不是二元的關係，特別於當代社會中界線更加模糊，而「日常物」與藝術的關係是是本展覽的概念源頭。
受梅爾 · 波切內爾（Mel Bochner）作品Measurement 的啓發 – 以量度的數字簡約地表現個人與空間的關係，從而延伸我們的想像 – 量度日常物與個人的關係。
日常物意指我們每天使用或構成生活中常規和基本的事情，因此它不是特别有趣或不尋常。但即使這些日常物已完成了社會賦予的，或一般理解的功能和意義，隨著時間物件承載了隱藏的信息 – 生活的痕跡、節奏。
是次展覽我們以本學段時間作基礎，收集部份組員這段時間內經常出現的日常物 – 貓罐頭、消費單據和外賣膠蓋，將其簡約地排列於走廊不同的位置，打破空間的平衡。作品與觀者在此空間相遇，量度的數字承載了不同生活的痕跡，讓觀者體驗藝術、生活與空間的關係。
