Rockbund Art Museum 上海外滩美术馆

The creations of Dai Chenlian and Lin Renzhong coincidentally examine the unconscious daily state of people in today's society. In this era of group performances and carnivals, Dai Chenlian tries to do the opposite. Is it possible for those exaggerated "performance time" to return and disappear in daily life: in this RAM Highlight project, he will The people and objects related to the art museum are set as actors, and the daily work and activities that take place here are selected and extracted, and then rearranged to form a performance, creating a period of time and a series of behaviors, so that "performance time" is hidden in daily life.

Lin Renzhong, on the other hand, focuses on the immaterial labor of the body and how the capitalist social system dominates the daily schedule of modern people. During the performance, the artist began to use the two objects of "alarm clock" and "body" to continuously cycle between sleeping and waking. The repeated sleep-waking process connected in series by the alarm clock wake-up function gradually disintegrates and blurs the meaning of the starting point and ending point in the linear time mode.

戴陈连与林人中的创作不约而同地检视当下社会人们无意识的日常状态。在这个集体表演、狂欢的时代，戴陈连尝试反其道而行，那些被夸张放大的“表演时间”是否有回归、隐没在日常生活中的可能性：本次RAM Highlight项目中，他将美术馆有关的人和物设置为演员，将发生在此的日常工作、活动进行选择提取，然后重新编排形成表演，制造一段时间和一系列行为，使“表演时间”隐匿于日常生活中。

而林人中则是关注身体的非物质性劳动、资本社会体系如何宰制现代人的日常时间表。在表演中，艺术家开始使用“闹钟”与“身体”两项物件，在睡与醒之间不断循环。由闹钟叫醒功能串联起来的反复睡醒过程，逐渐瓦解、模糊了线性时间模式下的起点和终点的意义。

两位艺术家将在本次对谈中共同探讨日常生活行为中的表演性，以及在这个过程中，人是如何感受时间与自我存在、又如何从中重构意义、生成意义的。
