About the Event 关于活动

Sunday morning, come and exercise at “Huqiu Park”. We will bring the spirit of the park to life: the dynamic equilibrium between stillness and movement, an everlasting state of easiness and endless vitality, to inspire the mind through the warm current of art.

The workshop will start from park-style morning exercise, evoking your body and cells through breathing exercise, mind calming, yoga stretching, balance exercise and dynamic meditation. Then through a series of exercises focusing on the body, behavior, each other and the environment, let’s deepen individual’s and collective’s acuity and creativity to immerse in the present. Finally, let everything to sprawl into an improvisational performance for ourselves and for each other.

“Huqiu Park” on view at John Armleder’s solo exhibition is a collaboration between him and photographer Leslie Zhang. With the floating blocks of memories containing heterogeneous elements inlaid in the “park”, a serene field that tends to “seduce” people to feel lost in reverie is constituted. We’ll embrace the serenity and “seduction”, dedicated ourselves to the ambience of the field and activating our body and mind bit by bit to truly put it into practice that “process is creation and art is life”.

周日上午来“虎丘公园”晨练吧。我们将灌注静中含动、动中含静、自在恒常、生生不息的公园精神，以艺术暖流拂拭你激浪的，浮想翩翩。

工作坊将始于公园式晨练——透过呼吸、静心、瑜伽拉伸、平衡、动态冥想等练习唤醒肢体与细胞，于酷暑中想象清凉。继而透过一系列着重身体、行为、彼此与环境的练习，深化个体与群体的敏锐度与沉浸当下的创造力——最后我们让一切蔓延为一场给自己与彼此的即兴创作表演。[工作坊将有专属的现场音乐、创作工具、与实时影像反馈装置…（待定）

由摄影师张家诚（Leslie Zhang） 与艺术家约翰·阿姆莱德（John Armleder） 合作的艺术空间项目《虎丘公园》，以蕴含异质元素的记忆浮块，镶嵌成一种宁静而又勾引无限遐思的场域。我们将顺势而为，投身于其中并激活自己每分每秒的身心饱和度，实践过程即创造、艺术即生活的流动状态。

About the Musician 关于音乐人

Guzheng-playing foreigners are a rare breed. Even rarer is stacking a guzheng with synthesizers, stompboxes, groove machines and playing it backwards.

A constant experiment of an unheard guzheng style tends to steal the spotlight, right until Yukes begins singing. The lyrics instantly forego the need for any electric accompaniment, revealing his struggle with stability, uncertainty, lost tranquility and youth.

A contemporary blend of East & West, Justin's hypnotizing performance strives to reinvent the guzheng and open minds in the process.

玉刻Yukes（Justin）是来自美国的古筝演奏者，演出中会将古筝结合采样器、合成器、bbox等，不拘形式，乐于实验。致力于在西方当代音乐语境中使用古筝进行创作。音乐的体裁背景来自极简House、布鲁斯、民谣、摇滚以及氛围音乐与声音设计。
