Starting in October 2024, the AUUUDITORIUM program launched the project Becoming Rehearsal, a process-oriented and practice-based initiative aimed at broadening the discourse on performative practices. At the core of Becoming Rehearsal is an invitation extended to Shanghai-based artists and collectives to use the AUUUDITORIUM space for rehearsals, activities, and gatherings from October 2024 to February 2025. Over the course of five months, participants will engage in workshops led by three international artists: Australian artist Bhenji Ra, whose work merges dance, video, and community engagement; Berlin-based artist Isaac Chong Wai, who uses mediums such as performance, video, installation, photography, and painting to explore contemporary global phenomena; and Sung Tieu, who employs sculpture, painting, sound, video, and installation to delve into psychological realms and address themes of social or political power.
On December 14, Becoming Rehearsal welcomed international artist Isaac Chong Wai, who led workshops with four local artist groups on the theme of "lying flat," followed by a public collaborative rehearsal on December 14. Afterward, Isaac shared insights into his recent work and held an open Q&A. Isaac’s piece Falling Reversely was showcased at the the 60th Venice Biennale, addressing systemic violence against Asians, while Die Mütter(The Mothers) is on view at the Bangkok Biennale 2024. His work, spanning performance, video, installation, and other media, explored bodily vulnerability, systemic violence, and historical trauma
2024年10月起,“讲---堂”发起了“成为排演”项目。 该项目以过程为导向、以实践为基础,旨在拓宽表演性实践的讨论。“成为排演”的核心内容是邀请常驻上海的艺术家/团体在2024年10月至2025年2月期间使用“讲---堂”进行排练,活动,和聚集等。在五个月中他们会参与由三名国际艺术家带领的工作坊。 这些艺术家是:致力于舞蹈、视频和社区活动的融合的澳大利亚艺术家Bhenji Ra; 使用表演、视频、装置、摄影和绘画作为媒介来研究当代全球现象的常驻柏林的艺术家庄伟(Isaac Chong Wai)和通过雕塑、绘画、声音、视频和装置感官来探索心理领域、探讨社会或政治权力等广泛主题的Sung Tieu。
12月14日,《成为排演》迎来了国际合作艺术家庄伟(Isaac Chong Wai),他围绕了“躺平”主题与四组本地艺术家进行工作坊,并于12月14日向公众展示合作排演。活动结束后,庄伟分享了近期作品并开放问答环节。庄伟的作品《反向下坠》曾在第60届威尼斯双年展亮相,回应亚裔遭遇的制度性暴力;《母亲》于2024年曼谷双年展展出。他的创作跨越表演、视频、装置等多种媒介,探讨身体脆弱性、系统性暴力与历史创伤等议题。
