朱銘雕塑｜文化中心外黃雨衣「排隊」雕塑 康文署完成修復不原址重置 改放「喜洋洋」
Ju Ming’s sculpture “Living World Series — Queue”, which has been displayed in the Hong Kong Cultural Centre’s open-air piazza in Tsim Sha Tsui since 2017, has attracted controversy in recent years because two of the sculptures wear yellow raincoats, including being cordoned off with metal barriers. Last year, the Leisure and Cultural Services Department put up hoardings, saying the sculptures posed structural safety risks and needed repairs. The department said in response to an enquiry that “Living World Series — Queue” had been repaired, but would not be reinstalled at its original location after being on display for many years. It will instead be replaced by the National Games mascots “Xiyangyang” and “Lerongrong”.
自 2017 年已在尖沙咀文化中心露天廣場展出的朱銘《人間系列 — 排隊》雕塑，因其中兩個雕塑身穿黃雨衣，近年曾出現被鐵馬圍封等風波，至去年康文署封上圍板，指雕塑結構有安全隱患，需要復修。康文署回覆查詢指，《人間系列 — 排隊》已完成修復，但已展出多年，不會原址重置，會改放全運會吉祥物「喜洋洋」及「樂融融」。

康文署：文化中心朱銘雕塑已展出多年 不會重置
Last June, the sculpture *Living World Series—Queuing*, created by renowned Taiwanese sculptor Ju Ming and displayed in the open-air piazza of the Hong Kong Cultural Centre, was suddenly cordoned off. The sculpture consists of 10 human figures, two of whom wear yellow raincoats. A yellow-clad figure on the hoarding was also covered by a grey notice, sparking controversy. The Leisure and Cultural Services Department said at the time that the sculpture had a structural safety concern and required repair and an assessment of the options. Nearly a year later, the hoarding has been removed and the sculpture is no longer there. In a reply to InMedia, the department said the repair work had been completed, but that, given the sculpture had been on display for years since 2017, it would not be reinstalled at its original site. From April 26, the piazza was changed to accommodate the National Games mascots “Joyful Yangyang” and “Cheerful Rongrong”.
In 2014, the Hong Kong Arts Promotion Office included Ju Ming’s sculpture *Living World Series—Queuing* in its collection, and displayed it outside the Hong Kong Cultural Centre in 2017. The work is a set of 10 bronze castings, with figures of different forms; some wear brightly coloured clothing and are paired with different accessories. Their poses resemble people queuing to wait to enter the venue for a visit.
去年六月，位於香港文化中心露天廣場展出，由台灣著名雕塑家朱銘創作的雕塑《人間系列──排隊》突然被圍封。由於該雕塑有10個人形，其中兩個穿黃色雨衣，而圍板上的黃衣人，亦被灰色告示遮蓋，引起爭議，當時康文署稱雕塑結構出現安全隱患，需時修復及評估方案。事隔近一年，圍板已被拆去，雕塑已不復存在。康文署回覆《獨媒》表示，修復工作已完成，惟稱考慮到該雕塑自2017年起已展出多年，故不會原址重置。廣場位置於4月26日起改為設置全運會吉祥物「喜洋洋」及「樂融融」。
香港藝術推廣辦事處在2014年將朱銘創作的雕塑作品《人間系列──排隊》納入收藏，2017年將作品在香港文化中心外展出。作品為一組10件的青銅鑄模，人物造型各異，部分人穿著鮮豔服裝，並配搭不同配件，形態猶如排隊等待進入館內參觀。

朱銘雕塑搬離 康署：修復見隱患 圍板已寫「修繕」 後再貼告示恰遮「黃衣人」
《Living World Series — Queue》, created by renowned Taiwanese artist Ju Ming and displayed outside the Hong Kong Cultural Centre in Tsim Sha Tsui, includes sculptures of two figures wearing yellow raincoats. The work was recently enclosed by hoardings, prompting considerable discussion. In response to enquiries from this newspaper, the Leisure and Cultural Services Department said the sculptures had deteriorated after years of outdoor display and that restoration began in late April this year. During the restoration, the sculptures were found to have “safety risks”, requiring a “comprehensive assessment and the formulation of a handling plan”. A reporter from this newspaper observed at the site yesterday that the sculptures in the series had been removed from their original location; their whereabouts were unknown.
由台灣著名藝術家朱銘創作、於尖沙嘴文化中心門外展出、包含兩個穿黃色雨衣人物雕塑的《人間系列 — 排隊》，近期被圍板圍封，引起不少人談論。康文署回應本報查詢稱，雕塑經多年戶外展示後損耗，今年4月底展開修復，發現雕塑結構「出現安全隱患」，要「全面評估及制定處理方案」。本報記者昨日到場觀察，該系列雕塑已被搬離原址，去向未明。
