工作室开放展---王俊的英国之旅

李牧

Rock· paper· scissors WangJun open studio 15-22 April 2010 来到这个陌生的城市，我期望能够发现陌生的自己，我试图忘记从前的创作经历，开始新的体验，开始思维的冒险。我选择了从石头开始，很难说清楚具体的原因，或许是它的平常，或许是它可以勾连起东西方关于历史、文化及习俗的想象。它可以是一种大家都熟悉的物质，也可以是一个叫“石头”的词语，石头不是目的，它只是一个诱因，一个“抛砖引玉”的引子，一个思想登场前的说辞。 在中国，人们常说“放下心中的石头”，是说放下精神的负担、思想的包袱，心灵的重负，可以轻松从容的生活。放下即生长，我希望自己能在新的城市里自然的生长。 在经过两个星期对曼城丰富的观察和体验后，这里活跃的艺术和音乐给我留下了非常深刻的印象，在这个交互的时代里，新的主意或许会在各种交织的网络碰撞中产生，我想到了一个大家都熟悉的关于“石头”的游戏：石头、剪刀、纸。我期望在未来的几周驻留时间里，可以从“石头”这个简单的物质或概念开始和曼城的艺术家展开互动的创作游戏，我期望得到曼城艺术家的参与，然后，我再做新作品来对他们的创作进行回应，这些作品都将在华人艺术中心驻留工作室展出。这不是比赛，这应该是一次运动的思维，是思维循环生长的游戏。在华人艺术中心的帮助下，我们在网络上和朋友间陆续发布关于这个游戏的基本规则和最新进展，并陆续收到积极的信息咨询和反馈，我们通过电子邮件或互访工作室讨论作品的思路，交换各自关于作品的思考。思维去往陌生的地方特别富有吸引力，一些新的有意思的主意不断产生，或者，不断被调整，甚至否定，这是非常愉快的经历。**说：“摸着石头过河”。在曼城的生活和创作也一样，是不断尝试与修正的过程，结果永远是那么不确定，也许永远也到不了岸，但渡过的过程却是可以真切触摸和感动的。“他山之石，可以攻玉”，在这个过程中我学习到了很多从前不知道的知识和对创作新的体验，在一次次思考的困难中，再次确认自己那些根深地固的东西，也惊奇的发现自己新的可能，我希望在未来可以进一步实施和完善这些新产生的想法，这是此次驻留项目带给我的最大收获。 很高兴有这么多曼城的艺术家通过作品参与到这个游戏中来，这些作品是每一位艺术家思考的结晶，它们在华人艺术中心的驻留工作室最终展出并发生有趣的碰撞，或许，这才是游戏真正的开始。最后，感谢华人艺术中心各位同仁的帮助和参与艺术家智慧的奉献， 这是我非常美好和特别的体验在曼彻斯特。 王 俊 2010.4.13 I am a newcomer to the city of Manchester. Here, I expected to find something new about myself. Hoping to begin with a new adventure and to think in a different way, I tried to forget the way I worked before. It’s hard to explain specific reasons why I chose stone as the topic. It may just be a normal topic or it may be something that links the history and culture of the east and the west. Stone is something everyone is familiar with, or it could just be a word. For my work, stone is not the purpose, but an incentive for further discussion and a topic that helps generate good ideas from others. In China, the phrase "to lay down the stone in heart" is often used. This means to unburden your heart, your mind and live a quality life. You have to set yourself free before you can go further. I hope I could grow in a natural way from living in a new city. After two weeks of observation in Manchester, I was deeply impressed by so many arts events going on in this city. New ideas could come from brainstorming between different networks in the time of interaction. The game ‘rock·paper·scissors’ rang the bell in my brain. I expect my work here would start from this simple subject or word “stone” and have a game of creation with artists in Manchester. I am eager to have their participation in this game and I will respond with my new works. Ultimately all these works will be on display at Chinese Arts Centre. This is not a competition, but a game of nurturing ideas and help to keep them progressing. With the help of Chinese Arts Centre, we gradually released the basic rules and update of this game on the internet, and have received enquiries and positive feedbacks. Our work has been discussed through emails. And we exchanged ideas and visits to studios. A strange place is usually where inspiration grows from. It is always a very interesting experience to create, adjust even reject new ideas. Mr. Deng Xiaoping once said: "go across the river by probing the stones." Just like producing artworks, my life in Manchester is also the process of experiment and adjustment. The result is uncertain. You may not get ashore in the end, but the process and the feeling is so real and inspirable. Just like a Chinese saying, "Stones from other hills may serve to polish jade", I learned a lot new and gained fresh experience. Surprisingly, I realize that, this experience is the reconfirmation of some thoughts deeply rooted in my mind, as well as the discovery of my potential. I will further develop these new thoughts and take them into my work in the future. This is the greatest reward in doing this residency project. I am so delighted to have so many artists participate in this project. These are the artworks generated by the thoughts of all artists. I am sure that the exhibition at the Chinese Arts Centre will arouse many interesting thoughts. The real game may just start from here right now. Finally, I would like to extend my gratitude to all my colleagues in the Chinese Arts Centre, for their dedicated work and kind help. It will be a cherished experience for me in Manchester. Wong Jun 2010.4.13 To Be Better Than Rock, paper, scissors (RPS) is a function known as an intransitive relation, a loop of preferences that has no beginning and no end, defying standard notions of hierarchy. The optimal strategy is straightforward: make your throws random. If no one can guess what you're going to play, they can't devise a winning strategy against you but without extensive training humans are hopeless at this. People tend to fall into patterns. Worse, people tend to project patterns on their opponents. If you are going to win: think - but not too much. Randomise your throws, but once the game is under way, look for patterns. Your opponent works - consciously or unconsciously - with a sequence in their head. Spot it, and they are toast. Another tip is don't throw rock in your first game. Scissors is still a good starting throw even if you are playing against someone experienced: they won't go for rock because that's seen as a rookie move, so the worst you are likely to do is tie. Once things are under way, different techniques come in. You could try the double bluff, where you tell your opponent what you're going to throw - then do it: no one believes you'll do it, so they won't play the throw that beats the throw you are playing. Then, if your mind goes blank, play the throw that would have been beaten by your opponent's previous throw: some kind of subconscious activity seems to encourage players - especially those who are not feeling at the top of their game - to aim to beat their own preceding throw. When all else fails, the rule is "go with paper", because rock comes up more often than it would by chance. Statistically rock comes 36 per cent of plays, paper 30 per cent and scissors 34 per cent. Given people's preference for rock, it is impossible to claim that RPS is a game of chance.                                                                                                                                                                         Tony Trehy touch it feel it hold it share it forget it^^^^^^装置（尺寸可变） 2010 彩色物2——石头 装置（50x55x65cm)  2010
