二四(10.4.1)
昨天中午去了湖区的“Grizedale Forest”(代尔森林公园),那里有一个活动:“ABANDON NORMAL DEVICES”(放弃正常设备),这是一个新的跨区域的电影和数字文化节,倡导放弃城市走向自然,走向运动。 我、Gass和他的女朋友代表Chinese Arts Centre和曼城的艺术家坐两辆大巴前往。很喜欢沿途英国乡村风景,一路上都是从前在明信片和画报上看到过的似曾相识的图画,远处的山峦上是明晃晃的积雪,两小时后开始进入湖区的山路,巴士在森林里的小马路上七弯八拐地穿行,阳光斑驳,林子里很多倒地腐烂的大树,偶尔会有艰难的错车,和一窜而过的松鼠。
Wang Jun is inviting all artists to take part in his project. All work submitted will be exhibited at Chinese Arts Centre during Wang Jun’s Open Studio, 15-21 April.
‘Rock-paper-scissors’ is a universal folk game that dates back to ancient times. Players substitute the three elements of Rock, Paper and Scissors with representative hand gestures and the winner is determined by following the rules:
Scissors cut paper (scissors wins against paper)
Paper covers rock (Paper wins against Rock)
Rock breaks scissors (Rock wins against Scissors)
If both players show the same gesture, the game is tied.
Wang Jun has commenced the game and has presented ‘Rock’. He has created two ‘Rock’ based works in his studio at Chinese Arts Centre. Participants from Manchester’s artistic community are invited to challenge and respond to Wang Jun’s work which can be viewed at Chinese Arts Centre. Wang Jun hopes the work will explore the relationship between cultural differences, psychological status and historical variation.
In the game ‘rock-paper-scissors ’, Wang Jun is eager to meet your challenge and view your response.
