小制作《第五回》
小制作的时代终于来了!!
小制作 – 大时代!
杭州是个迷人的城市,给人一种柔和的气息,使人感到舒适,但同样也给艺术创作带来了隐患。随着艺术市场的不断壮大,艺术团体却很难聚集合作,每个人都忙于各自的作品。此外,缺乏经济上的支持和做艺术项目共同的兴趣使得艺术合作停滞不前。在这些情况下,邵一,张辽源和一些其他的艺术家决定改变这种现状,在杭州艺术圈中开启一个对话的窗口。他们发现:杭州缺少的不是好的展览,而是根本就没有展览, 没有人去积极组织活动, 人们太过注重展览本身,忽视了活动中相互交流的重要性。
因而第一个项目就此诞生,他被称为“小制作”(2008.8),第一次小制作活动在艺术家邵一的工作室中举办。
“小制作是一个大主题,可以说从展览的角度来看,是一个极烂无比的展览,但这种烂让人放松,自由,大家很开心,亲身体验烂,面对烂,感觉那种辛辣尖锐的味道,这跟去看一个差展览感受不同。很快参与者中就有人提出过度的包容会降低活动的质量,但邵一和我都心照不宣,这就是现在的基础,我们要的是让大家放松的去交流,而不是去策划一个展览,大家把自己的真性情拿出来,把不愿在其他展览上做的想法做出来,而且让大家看到,接受别人的眼光。
[…]不要停下,就是我们活动的最大要求,我们强迫自己在紧张中制作、思考、参与、交流,以自身所具有的有限资源为前提来保持创作状态。没有好坏,我们让参与者以最直接的方式最快的速度呈现自己的想法,没有犹豫的时间。
活动还在继续,敬请期待!”(张辽源)
“小制作”就是受邀艺术家用自己的材料去创作作品。包括录像,绘画,装置,摄影和其他各种媒介形式。“小制作”活动之《第五回》将于2008年12月23日至2009年2月15日在小平画廊展出。
The 5th Small Productions Event
"The time for small productions has finally come!!"
"Small Production - Great Era!!"
The enchanting environment of Hangzhou attracts and traps people in a comfort that turn into an obstacle when organizing events. With the growth of the art market, the artistic community hardly gathers and collaborates, everyone being busy working on individual project. In addition, lack of financial support and exclusive interests for ambitious projects paralyze artistic activities. Under these circumstances, Shao Yi, Zhang Liaoyuan and others decided to change this reality and opened a dialogue with artists in Hangzhou . It occurred to them that "its not that there are no good exhibitions in Hangzhou , but there are no exhibitions at all, no one is enthusiastic in organizing a common event, there is too much focus on the exhibition itself and not enough on the communication, etc.".
It is then that the first project was established, it was called Small productions (August 2008) and was held in Shao Yis studio.
"Small productions is a big theme, from the exhibition point of view, it is incomparably crappy, but this kind of "crap" make people feel relaxed, free, everyone is very happy. A crappy personal experience, a crappy confrontation with a fizzy taste which make it different from a bad exhibition. Soon afterwards, some participants said too much content would reduce the quality of the event, but Shao Yi and I tacitly understand each other, this is the basis, what we want is that everyone communicate freely, we dont want to curate an exhibition. Everyone shows its real mood and presents what they dont want to show in other exhibitions, they submit it to everyones eyes. [...]
"Dont stop", this is our activities main request, we force ourselves to produce, think, participate, communicate under pressure, maintining a creating attitude within the limits of the individual resources. Theres no good or bad, participants express their ideas in a fast and direct way, without time for doubts.
The show is going on, just wait and see! ." (Zhang Liaoyuan)
