在“伟大的掩饰”展期内,艺术家团体44月报将派出不同成员,不定期驻守在美术馆四楼《颠倒车站》现场担任值班员,带领观众进入44的场域与话语,并面向观众策划和呈现不同的公共项目。这些项目或带有剧场性、或聚焦于文本讨论,总之,值班员欢迎所有朋友来到现场,加入环环相扣的“颠倒之时”。

“颠倒之时”的第二次活动,值班员陈逸飞和李艺浓围绕以布袋戏重演历史叙事的创作过程与实践展开讨论,并由此延伸思考:将人偶当作一种“翻译工具”去呈现和理解那些常常被遮蔽的革命叙事,其意义何在?

在灵犀计划的支持下——该计划由Emily Jin与Sharon Liu于2023年发起,致力于围绕艺术与翻译展开写作与展览项目——2025年8月艺术家陈逸飞在东京神保町的美学校(Bigakko)组织了为期三晚的布袋戏工作坊。研究者李艺浓参与了工作坊,和背景各异的参与者们共同研读历史文献、创作各自的人偶,在最后一晚合演了一出多语布袋戏《神保町译闻录》。

演出回到并重新想象了一百年前的东京神保町——一个思想、文化与革命网络交汇地。外星人、食物、妖怪与历史人物在咖喱店、咖啡馆等场景中登场,讨论饮食流变、自由恋爱等话题,共同编织一场跨越国界与时空的梦境。


关于《颠倒车站》

44月报的《颠倒车站》由上海外滩美术馆委任创作,是44宇宙的一个缝合点、文献库、补给平台,由不同时间中相互干涉的平面组成。它的名字来自没头没尾的偈子或感慨:“毕竟颠倒梦想。”不知是哪一位穿梭于时空伴随的44参与者涂抹在墙上——这个同时是火车站和码头的空间组合了珠江三角洲以及多地水陆交通的片段、历史回响。

关于值班员

展览期间,会有多位参与艺术家和作家、研究者等等担任“时时间、念念角”的值班员,ta们带来各自领域和媒介的实践知识、思考并充实其中,同时组织多种形式的公众交流活动,这些交流也将是“颠倒车站”的穿行与停驻的一部分。

44月报 44 Monthly

44月报是44剧场的延伸,源于新冠疫情流行以来的共同体验。44剧场自2016年起作为一个跨学科实践平台活跃运作,参与者分布在世界各地,包括策展人、艺术家、电影人、研究者、活动家、出版人、音乐人等,每个项目都由不同的团队组合进行协作。


Across the exhibition period of The Great Camouflage, the artist collective 44 Monthly hosts a series of activations at the site of their installation, Viparyāsa Station, located on the 4th floor of the museum. Here, members of 44 Monthly serve as "duty officers," guiding audiences into the discourses offered by the collective in their public program. These gatherings—ranging from theatrical performances to discussions around certain texts—invite people to join the collective's interconnected and iterative program, Times of Inversion.

In the second iteration of Times of Inversion, a conversation between "duty officers" Chen Yifei and Enno Li who discussed the process and practice of restaging historical narratives through the art of puppetry, and what it might mean to use puppets as tools to translate, speak about, and process revolutionary stories oftentimes hidden from view.

In August 2025, with the support of the Lingxi Project—an initiative founded in 2023 by Emily Jin and Sharon Liu that develops writing and exhibition projects centered on art and translation—the artist Chen Yifei organized a three-night hand-puppet workshop at Bigakko, an alternative art school in Jimbocho, Tokyo. Participants from diverse backgrounds collectively studied historical materials, created their own puppets, and came together on the final evening to present a multilingual hand-puppet performance.

Their performance returned to and reimagined the Tokyo district of Jimbocho from one hundred years ago—a place where transnational networks of thought, culture, and revolution converged. Aliens, food, yokai, and historical figures appeared in settings such as curry shops and cafés, discussing the circulation of food and ideas of free love, weaving together a dream that crossed borders and time.

About Viparyāsa Station

Commissioned by the Rockbund Art Museum, Viparyāsa Station by 44 Monthly serves as a suture point, an archive, and a resupply platform within the "44 Universe." It is composed of overlapping planes from different times that constantly interfere with one another. The station’s name originates from a fragmentary exclamation: "After all, inverted dreams."Scribbled on the wall by an unknown 44 participant traveling through time and space, this environment—simultaneously a railway station and a pier—assembles historical echoes and fragments of land and water transportation from the Pearl River Delta and various other regions.

About the Duty Officers

Throughout the exhibition, several participating artists, writers, and researchers will serve as "duty officers" for "The Room of Moments, The Nook of Thoughts." They bring with them practical knowledge and reflections from their respective fields and mediums to enrich the space. Simultaneously, they organize various forms of public exchange programs, which in turn become part of the "passing through and dwelling" within the journey of Viparyāsa Station.
