Rockbund Art Museum 上海外滩美术馆

"In Short, Future Now" is a publication supported by the long-term art project "Curtain" curated by the Bund Museum of Art in Shanghai in 2020. The collection consists of three parts: in addition to the long poems, a beautiful flipchart at the end of the book - a postcard of the artist's work and a score of the work Quora Fora: A Rehearsal.
The full-length science fiction poem "In Short, Future Now" imagines the Asian archipelago in the wake of authoritarianism and climate catastrophe, contemplating how to escape the more destructive power struggles and cycles. Drawing on the forms of "lunga" and "haiku," Asia appears as an archive of the future in this single poetry series.
"I grew up in Asia, but for a long time I was far from this land. I imagine a future Asia as an event, a post-authoritarian frontier, a subject after a new disease and surveillance, a need, a Fermi problem, a wilder post-superfuture Asia."

--Jason Wee

《近快，未来》是2020年上海外滩美术馆策划的长期艺术项目“帘幕”支持的出版物。这本诗集由三部分组成，除了长诗外，书尾还附有精美的活页夹——艺术家作品明信片和作品《Quora Fora:一次排演》的乐谱。
科幻长篇诗歌《近快，未来》想象独裁主义和气候灾难之后的亚洲群岛，思索应该如何摆脱更具破坏性的权力争夺和循环。汲取了“伦加”和“俳句”的形式，在这部单一诗系中，亚洲作为未来的档案出现：
“我在亚洲长大，但在很长一段时期我远离了这片土地。我想象着一个未来亚洲的模样，作为一事件，一后权威的疆域，一新病症和监控之后的主体，一需求，一费米问题，一更狂野的后超级未来亚洲。”
