“表演光谱”系列讲座 | 展演空间的演变:喧哗背后的单一化宣传片

As spatial functions reshape, circulate, divide, monopolize and accumulate capital, the urban space development dictated by capitalism responded with a state of rigidity, monotony, homogeneity, imbalance. In the 1960s, in order to dissent from the manipulated space in cities, international situationalists advocated “constructed situation” as a strategy to unleash individual artistic potentials and improve social dynamics by establishing art spaces, such as theaters. At the beginning of the 21st century, alternative spaces prevailed in Shanghai in an attempt to protest against commerciality and the mainstream culture. “HardHan Cafe” (2000) and “Downstream Garage” (2004-2013) encapsulate such that were likened to utopias by many, but eventually terminated due to high operational costs and remained unparalleled to this day. Since then, a wave of contemporary art museums emerged and sustained experimental performances in these venues. The nature of art museums (spaces) diversifies art concepts and forms, whilst also altering the frameworks and focuses embedded in the planning process. How does the relationship between space and art manifest? How should the correlation between spatial modification and urban development be comprehended? Will the seemingly flourishing art institutions and activities bring forth diversity? In times of change, how does one “envisage” a space? Should a space be physical? We are honored to invite to this round table discussion researchers, playwrights and curators, who will explore these topics from their respective perspectives.

资本主义下的城市空间发展,随着空间的使用方式:变更、循环、区隔、垄断、资本累积,逐渐进入一种僵化、单一、同质、失衡且被资本主宰的状态。在六零年代,国际情境主义者提倡以“构境”作为策略,透过建构剧场这类艺术空间释放人的艺术与社会能动性,借以抵抗被支配的城市空间。二十一世纪初的上海,仍有以抵抗体制为志的替代空间(alternative space)存在,如“真汉咖啡”(2000年)和“下河迷仓”(2004-2013年),成为多数人心中的乌托邦,但最终无法继续维持以实体空间的经营,至今已无相同类型的空间出现。尔后,随着当代艺术馆陆续建立,实验表演进入到这些场所继续发生,而因着美术馆(空间)的本质,不仅在这里发生的艺术概念与形式随之变异,策划的思路与侧重点也大大不同。空间与艺术之间的关系究竟如何形塑?空间的演变与城市发展之间的关系如何被理解?看似蓬勃发展的艺术机构与活动,是否真的带给我们多样性?随着时代的推进与变化,如今我们可以如何“想象”空间?空间一定得是实体的吗?本场圆桌会议邀请学者、创作者及策划人,从各自的角度对此一主题展开讨论。

About Series of Lecture of “Spectrum of Performance(ing) Arts” 关于“表演光谱”系列讲座

As art activities proliferate, performance and performing arts are evermore presented to the public, notably seen in art museums across recent years. The series of lectures of “Spectrum of Performance(ing) Arts” is not designed to invent some new vocabulary or definition, or to inquire “What is Performance (Performing)?”, but to examine how art in an unbound state flows and mutates into a spectrum with colorful connotations and more possibilities. It looks forward to the confluence and interaction of different realms of art, discussions from the artist, curator, researcher and scholar perspectives on issues such as the role of the platform, methods of artistic creation, ways of watching performances, the concept of curating, and the development of performance art and performing art under the globalization framework, as well as more dialogues in unexpected aspects between the speakers and audience.

This series of lectures is jointly initiated by RAM and Zhang Bing, an independent curator, and supported by Shanghai Artemis Art Center.

This lecture is co-organized by iPANDA and NMG.

随着艺术活动日渐蓬勃发展,行为与表演艺术更多地在大众面前呈现,特别近年来在美术馆里成为被关注的焦点。“表演光谱”系列讲座的策划不在于发明新的词汇或定义,或诘问“什么是表演?”,而是进一步探索、梳理艺术如何在不被“固着”的状态之下,流动、变异并形成一道肌理丰富的光谱,更多的可能性因此发生;并且希冀在不同艺术领域再度合流、交互作用的时刻,从艺术家、策划人、研究者、学者不同的角度去探讨:平台的角色、艺术创作方法、如何观看表演、策划概念、全球化框架下行为表演艺术的发展等等议题,也期待在讲者与观众的交流之间,开启更多不可预期的讨论面向。

本系列讲座由上海外滩美术馆与独立策展人张冰共同发起,并由上海至美艺术发展中心支持。

本场讲座由iPANDA及那行零度协办。
