必看“美丽新世界 :日本之当代文化”北京+廣州


“美丽新世界 :日本之当代文化”将分3个部分展出:1.“美丽的真实世界”,2.“新环境”和 3.“终极世界及未来世界”。这些分支展将透过 ‘美丽’和‘新世界’深层审视国际间的艺术价值体系及创造力。由于这次展览将设在北京并由多个会场组成,多个分支展览的体系及(或)设计将共同促成统一的视觉及空间的完整性。展期间,一些在户外公共空间展出的装置作品也将做为整体战略的分支并以此支持整体计划。

展览地点和时间

北京 2007年9月25日 —— 2007年10月22日(嘉宾前展:2007年9月24日下午5点)

广州 2007年12月25日 —— 2008年1月20日

展览会场

北京 长征空间,东京画廊

中央美术学院(做为研讨会场等)

广州 广东美术馆

广州美术学院(做为研讨会场等)

参展艺术家(未定)

1. 美丽的真实世界 [北京:长征空间]

这个部分的展览将重新审视“美丽”和“真实”的定义,同时深入观察和研究源于和逐渐背离这两个概念的表达方式。对于“美丽”的定义,展览作品将展示女性时尚当中美的价值观,同时思考不断转变的价值观和从属与美学的感知能力,以及多种多样的甚至相互矛盾的观点。这个部分的展览将同时思考日本传统技艺中的美学在当代艺术作品中的运用。

对于这个系列作品的选择,主办方将基于考察被刻画在日本漫画和动画中的,由性别区分下形成的男孩儿和女孩儿的不同世界、日本独特的“可爱”(kawaii)文化,以及由这些文化促成的高度私人化空间和高度聚焦的个人世界。

3. 终极世界和未来世界 [北京:B.T.A.P]

这一部分的展览作品将体现由社会和城市中的不稳定因素引起的系列问题,例如自然灾害以及一系列对死亡的恐惧。这一切都影射着人类对未来城市空间的启示与抱负,这也根深蒂固于日本的社会与文化。参展作品中还蕴涵着永久和持续的观念。与此同时,这些作品也将透过对建筑和时尚中的生态学观念和对环保的实施的调查,以此来检验人类与城市环境和自然之间的关系。一个视觉感极强的终极世界(世界末日)景观,将由漫画作品被放大后像壁纸一样覆盖在墙壁上来展示。

户外展览(的可能性)

由于这次展览将由北京的多个会场组成,多个分支展览的体系及(或)设计将共同促成统一的视觉及空间的完整性。想法之一是邀请建筑师坂茂( Ban Shigeru) 为这三个会厂的正面建造伸展区,以统一展览的主旨。举办方也希望通过这个想法来展现展览第三部分的概念:生态与环保。

另外,在798艺术区的整体布展和对户外公共空间的整体利用,将使由感性划分开来的区域拥有概念上的一致性。

In the speed of light

Light-drawing and light-writing is getting a fair bit of attention lately. Take these two commercials (below) for Sprint (also seen on Marc Schiller’s blog). Quite creative don’t you think?



Toben Seymour’s music video for the song Jubilee by the Willowz.


Also some excellent photographs by scrolling down on Lichtfaktor’s MySpace page.

From New York Wooster Collective:


Light creatures arriving Berlin

The "html-movement-library" plus "Singing Website Wallpaper"


Singing Website Wallpaper gives voice to html by re-interpreting the code of three Websites such as yahoo.com, msn.com, and google.com as a musical score and visualizing the scales as printed patterns on wallpaper. While the sound component of the installation is influenced by the "live" html code of each site, the wallpaper shows "frozen" source code from each site translated into a visual set of functionality-related symbols. Depending on how the momentary html code of the site is structured, the program matches the acccording sound files to each html tag. For instance, if the html tag "table" appears in the code, my program (php) will interpret and "sing" the tag as "a", "b" and "e", as they are notes in musical notation. The same goes, for example, with the tag "head": we hear the "h", "e," "a," and "d." "h" exists in German music notation, so there is an extra "note" to sing...

TatePlayer: archive of talks, performances, videos...


From Museum Lab

Tate was one of the first museums in the world to record and archive its events online, but never had a good infrastructure to display this rich collection. The Tate Player encompasses audio and video of Tate’s events, and adds new Tate Shots and existing audiovisual works from the Tate Modern collection, such as videos by Gilbert & George, and interviews with Frank Stella and Sol LeWitt.

It is so late for this news but what a good robo promo that can't be missed


Douban Adds Miniblog Service

Maybe someday miniblog would be a standard service of a website, Douban, the most famous web 2.0 service in China, adds miniblog service called Douban Yulu(豆瓣语录) today. (There is no public page for the service, therefore no link to the service is available)

The service allows Douban users to write miniblog post within 128 Chinese characters, you can find a new miniblog section in your profile page, and follow your contacts’ updates in a page similar to Twitter. Only updates via web is available so far, I don’t know whether Douban will add IM/SMS supports, anyway, it seems Yang Bo does not plan to develop miniblog into a Douban Twitter. I think it is more likely that Douban Yulu would be something like Facebook newsfeed which helps your to know the latest activities of your contacts, such as adding books into collection, writing book or movie review.

Besides this miniblog service, Douban recently also improved its group feature to allow users to create private groups. I believes both private group and Douban Yulu are signs that Douban would put efforts into enhancing its social networking features to motivate user’ activities in Douban.

Andy Polaine on Rafael Lozano-Hemmer talk at the Tate Modern

From one of my favourite artists Andy Polaine (of Antirom)

One of my all-time interactive installation heroes, Rafael Lozano-Hemmer, is giving an artist’s talk at the Tate Modern tomorrow. He is representing Mexico at the Venice Biennale 2007 and his Body Movies projects remains, to me, one of the best interactive installations of all time. It perfectly combines simplicity and play layered over a more complex interaction. Most importantly, it also connects strangers emotionally and sometimes physically in spontaneous acts of playfulness an interaction.

His talk is at the Tate Modern on Thursday 14 June 2007, 18.30–20.00. For those of you who can be there, there will also be a webcast of it too.

Movie poster color usage


a color frequency graph depicting the popularity of colors in the final theatrical posters of the 25 top-grossing U.S. films, sorted by MPAA rating & category.

overall, it seems that black & dark-hued backgrounds are the predominant color. also, flesh tones are an alternative & recurring range of colors, whereas white is mostly only used as an accent color.

The Communism of Form and the Music Clip

We have been talking about you -tube and video and again Nicolas Bourriaud inspires to this very exciting program by a Brazilian curator.

See if you like it.

Black Box Recorder -The Facts of life


Chemical Brothers - Do it again


From today until the beginning of August, Sao Paulo's Galeria Vermelho hosts one of the most riveting exhibitions of the summer. Curated by local critics Fernando Oliva and Marcelo Rezende, 'Communism of Form: Sound + Image + Time ? The Music Clip Strategy' brings together works by 30 Brazilian and international artists that reflect, examine, or evoke the aesthetics of the music clip within contemporary visual culture. The show's organizing principle takes on French critic Nicolas Bourriaud's definition of 'communism of form,' an expression that identifies the current art practices based on an immense library of images, emotional states, and psychological experiences generated by post-Fordist societies that are shared both by the artists and the audience--as the music clip-- that thus engage in a participatory relationship with the pieces. Many artists--such as Forsyth & Pollard (UK), Apichatpong Weerasethakul (Thailand), Nuevos Ricos (Mexico), Laibach (Slovenia), and Tetine (Brazil)--developed new works, addressing with different and surprising styles the fundamental elements of the music clip: sound, image, and time. As Oliva and Rezende say, 'the music clip, with its absence of an hierarchy between the old and the new and the technological and the craft, puts in motion all the world�s repertoire.' A blog comprising several posts--from film stills to YouTube videos--and a book with various commissioned essays and interviews discussing the theoretical frame of the show complements this project, expanding its original and very opportune features in unexpected ways and furthering the debate around this prominent cultural expression. - Miguel Amado

Talk on Computational Design by Paul Ng


It is a pity that I miss the talk @BC in May. Since Microwave organised procedural animation workshop, processing and Gulldy 's Kapok exhibition with processing work from Taiwan, I can see that a bumch of designers in this region are working on this idea of computational design.

当代艺术展“大声展”走上街头却遭观众蹂躏

The "Get it louder" show in Canton busy shopping mall was violently destroyed by visitors.
如果一面时钟上除了三根指针和刻度外,还写着“全国人民每8.3秒拉10吨屎”,你会想把这面钟挂在自己的餐厅吗?昨天,当代艺术展览“2007大声展”走出深闺,在广州闹市街头开展,挑战广州市民的欣赏极限。

在大型购物中心正佳广场,“大声展”的展位从一楼一直蔓延到五楼。记者看到,每一件展品前都围满了市民,和在专业艺术展馆不同,这里的展品大多允许拍照和触摸。中国艺术家吴岚和英国艺术家Andrew合作的《购物时间》吸引了很多观众,他们在十几面时钟上写上中国在不同领域的商品及资源消耗统计数字,比如“全国人民每11秒购买100部手机”、“全国人民每秒生2个孩子”以及“全国人民每 8.3秒拉10吨屎”。不少观众把每一面钟都拍了下来,市民陈先生说:“我拍了钟面的特写,用这个作手机桌面图挺酷的。”

在市民享受当代先锋艺术带来的启示同时,展览方却不得不面对在艺术馆里不会碰到的尴尬局面:艺术家冯果川的作品《厚空间孵化器》像一个圆形白色轻纱笼罩的大帐篷,里面充满了氦气和氢气球,在装置的门口,作品说明上清清楚楚写着:“这是一个适宜沉思、交谈、听音乐、喝咖啡及阅读的空间,为增加交往的机会制造了一个亲密的触觉的‘身体’空间。”但实际上,这里成了吵闹的儿童乐园,记者看到,里面最多时至少挤了10个以上的孩子和家长,孩子们在白色气球堆里又蹦又跳,高声尖叫,就像在玩“欢乐蹦床”。门口的工作人员则要不停地提醒玩累了出来的观众“请不要把气球带走”。

广州籍艺术家叶柏林和苗微微合作的雕塑“烟灰缸”也惨遭“毒手”,现场维持秩序的保安告诉记者:“作为道具粘在雕塑上的烟头总是被人拿走,我真不明白他们要烟头做什么,我刚说完不要拿,可一回头就没了。”

广州市少年宫以一比一比例仿制的“鹧鸪塘小学”危房教室则几乎成了市民逛街的休息室,教室里的所有桌椅都是从山区搬来的原物,桌椅原本都是破破烂烂摇摇晃晃,上面还贴着“危险勿坐”的标语,但教室里还是像上课一样坐满了人,有人甚至趴在课桌上睡了起来。记者看到,已经有三套桌椅被坐断了腿,撤出了展览。“大声展”至少还要在闹市展览两周,保安们不禁担心有些展品还能“撑”多久?

据了解,“2007大声展”由现代传播集团主办,英国领事馆等参与策展,今年已是第三届,在中国乃至国际当代艺术界具有重要影响,展览集合了来自全球十几个国家的艺术家作品,此次在正佳广场展出的作品多为中国留英艺术家所做。展览的主办方在闹市里开展,是希望能让当代艺术走进普通人群,让人们从陌生稀奇到有所感悟。

Ecoventions- Art + Ecology study day

WISH HONG KONG will have this program soon. BObo and Hang will like it too.
Sunday 15 July 2007, 11 am – 5pm
Gunpowder Park Field Station, Sewardstone Road, Waltham Abbey, Essex
(1 hour from central London)

Brandon Ballengée - “Eco-actions” and wetland surveys

The term ecovention describes an artist-initiated project that employs an inventive strategy to intervene in or transform a local ecology. Ecoventions usually involve collaborations between artists, community members and local specialists such as ecologists, botanists, landscape architects or urban planners.

This day will be of particular interest to artists wishing to develop their ecological-art practice and ecologists interested in working with artists to raise awareness of ecological issues.

The day is led by American artist Brandon Ballengée, with urban ecologist Dusty Gedge and artist and photographer David Cottridge.

More than many environmental artists, the work of Brandon Ballengée bridges the gap between research biology and art. He combines a fascination with fish and amphibians with the techniques of commercial art photography. In 1996 Ballengée began collaborating with scientists to create hybrid environmental art/ ecological research projects which have been exhibited internationally. Ballengée’s “eco-actions” directly involve members of the public in these research projects through performative, collaborative fieldtrips.

During 2007 and 2008, Ballengée is leading a UK study into declining amphibian species, through participatory lab and field-based research investigations, working with the public as well as collaborating scientists. The project is organised by The Arts Catalyst and enabled by residencies at Yorkshire Sculpture Park, Gunpowder Park, and Space Studios, London.

Urban ecologist Dusty Gedge advises a number of government bodies, NGOs, architects, landscape architects and the green roof industry. He was previously a professional street entertainer, circus performer and actor, but always keeping his interest in nature.

David Cottridge is a wildlife photographer and artist. Widely regarded as Britain's top bird photographer, he is also one of the UK's most popular birding lecturers. David has been photographing Gunpowder Park throughout the redevelopment of the site and, in collaboration with artist David Chapman, has created HARK 1 and HARK 2, multimedia projects inspired by the park’s landscape and soundscape.

11.00 – 12.30 Seminar with Brandon Ballengée, Dusty Gedge and David Cottridge.
12.30 Break for lunch (please bring a picnic lunch or there is a pub opposite)
2.00 – 4.00 Fieldtrip to explore the local ecology of Gunpowder Park
4.00 – 5.00 Concluding discussion

The event takes place at Gunpowder Park, 90 hectares of new country park for the benefit of people, wildlife and the arts. Located at the top of Greater London within the Lee Valley Regional Park, Gunpowder Park is the largest open space in the region for arts and the environment.

Admission by registration. Free but limited places.

What is ghost? A fed up extistence of human life? A kind of lingering memories? Or a kind of alienation process?
