The artist Francis Alÿs, together with Yuko Hasegawa, curator of the exhibition “Francis Alÿs: La dépense”, went on a field trip in Inner Mongolia in 2017, and paid a visit to the Aoluguya Ewenki tribe in Genhe of Hulunbuir. Ewenki hunters, having lived for generations in the mysterious Aoluguya forest, dropped off their shotguns and walked out of the forest in 2003, launching a massive migration and relocation.

RAM Talk: Dépense, Luxe and Existence Itself
2019.01.04 19:00 - 20:30 | Talks
Maximum effort, minimum result. ---Francis Alÿs’ motto for When Faith Moves Mountains, 2002 Under the social context nowadays where we are pursuing rationality, high-efficiency, abundance and prosperity, the concept of “dépense” proposed by Georges Bataille seems quite unique. Then what does it mean? What does this notion imply? How it is constructed within Bataille’s system? And will this “non-productive consumption” make our livelihood unsustainable?
Escaping from the “Establishment”: Performance as Method
2018.12.28 19:00 - 20:30 | Talks
This lecture will start with the canonical case of Italian futurism, providing the audience with a historical context of how performance emerged as a form of aesthetic resistance from the highly capitalized countries in Western Europe since the turn of the 20th century. Performance is deployed by the avant-garde artists to escape from or even fight against the establishment we call “modernity.”

In recent years, there are increasing performing art platforms offering short-term residency for a number of participants in a form of ‘Lab’ or ‘Camp’ as part of Art Festival or Professional Meetings. To artists and creative practitioners, what kind of imagination and expectation to/from a short-term lab program? And is it efficient?

Dialogue, Friction, Conflict and Collective Work: The Diffusion and Reimagining of Art Collective
2018.12.08 16:00 - 18:00 | Talks
Working as a collective is not something new. But in comparison to individual artist, art collective more emphasizes dialogue and diversity rather than one-person voice. In the continuation of dialogue, members can question, learn and support each other; but it can also provoke conflicts, frictions and even stop the collaboration. In a society dominated by neoliberalism and capital power, why those practitioners can insist in this kind of not productive, not efficient ways of working?
