What to Let Go? 何以放手 ?

Para Site International Conference 2018 Para Site 2018 國際研討會

Para Site

Para Site is Hong Kong’s leading contemporary art centre and one of the oldest and most active independent art institutions in Asia. It produces exhibitions, publications, discursive, and educational projects aimed at forging a critical understanding of local and international phenomena in art and society.

Founded in early 1996 as an artist run space, Para Site was Hong Kong’s first exhibition-making institution of contemporary art and a crucial self-organised structure within the city’s civil society, during the uncertain period preceding its handover to Mainland China. Throughout the years, Para Site has grown into a contemporary art centre, engaged in a wide array of activities and collaborations with other art institutions, museums, and academic structures in Hong Kong and the international landscape. In early 2015, Para Site moved to its greatly increased premises, in North Point/Quarry Bay. Throughout its history, Para Site’s activities have included a range of different formats, among which P/S magazine (1997–2006), a bilingual publication, which was Hong Kong’s first visual arts magazine and a central platform for the development of art writing and of a discursive scene in the city and the Curatorial Training Programme (2007–10). Since 2012, Para Site has been running an International Art Residency Programme and has been organizing an annual international conference. This is accompanied, starting from 2015, by a new educational format aimed at training young curators and other art professionals. Para Site’s activities are made possible by the generous support of its patrons, and grants from foundations and the Government of the HKSAR.

Para Site 藝術空間為香港首屈一指的當代藝術中心, 亦是亞 洲歷史最悠久、最活躍的獨立藝術機構之一。成立宗旨在透 過展覽、出版刊物及教育項目等活動, 促進在地與國際間的

對話, 希冀打造一個對當代藝術、社會現象提出批判性論述 及理解的平台。

Para Site 藝術空間1996年由一群香港藝術家成立, 時值香

港回歸之際, 空間的創立成了第一個展覽策劃的當代藝術機

構。隨著時代變遷, Para Site 藝術空間晉身為一當代藝術中 心, 透過各種活動和合作, 連結香港與其他國際藝術機構、美

術館、雙年展及學術單位間的交流。2015年初, Para Site 遷 至目前活躍發展的北角／鰂魚涌一帶。歷年來 Para Site 策 劃了各式活動, 包括出版香港首本雙語視覺藝術雜誌《P/S

magazine》 （1997-2006）, 為發展本土藝術寫作及論述氛圍

提供重要平台, 以及2007至2010年舉辦的「策展工作培訓計

劃」。2012年起, Para Site 舉辦國際藝術駐留計劃以及年度 國際研討會, 而於2015年, 成立連同國際研討會為新銳藝術

工作者開放的培訓教育項目。本機構活動經費來自機構贊助, 基金與香港特別行政區政府的慷慨捐獻。

What to let go? | Para Site International Conference 2018

Workshops for Emerging Art Professionals

22–24 November, 2018

17–25 November, 2018

JC Cube Auditorium Tai Kwun–Centre for Heritage and Arts 10 Hollywood Road, Central, Hong Kong This year’s edition of Para Site’s International conference is interested in the renewed discussion throughout the world, often marked by symbolic actions if not yet by government policy, affecting what gets counted within the category of heritage, and who gets to do the counting: from the increasing debate around repatriation of looted artefacts by colonial powers to the varied and dissimilar processes of renaming and removing symbols of past eras, from India and Myanmar to Confederate America and Apartheid South Africa. China’s resurgent nationalism is also placing a (still developing) version of its imperial heritage at the core of its twenty-first century self-image.

As these processes appear to occupy an increasingly prominent segment of the political discourse, with history seemingly becoming the major battlefield both for the left and for the right, we ask ourselves how can art reconfigure our collective foundational myths?

The 2018 edition of International Conference is conceived

by Cosmin Costinas and Inti Guerrero.

For the fourth year in a row, Para Site is working with a group of emerging art professionals from across the region and the world, running a series of free-of-charge workshops for 9 days, alongside the International Conference. This unique program for the region includes a group of participants selected from an outstanding international pool of over 50 applicants this year. The program is designed to provide learning opportunities that are mediated by speakers from Para Site’s conference as well as by art practitioners from across Hong Kong’s diverse institutional landscape. Working with topics covered in the conference, the program provides a laboratory for experimentation, posing fundamental questions and ideas that challenge various models of curatorial practice.

Para Site is also offering a number of scholarships to cover the flights and accommodation for selected participants, generously made possible by workshop supporters: Nicola Chu, James Lie, Elaine W. Ng & Fabio Rossi, Heidi & James Paradise, Stefan Rihs, Katherine Schaefer, Andres Vejarano & Kee Foong, SAM Fund for Arts and Ecology, Leslie Van Eyck & Tom Meganck.

The participants are Bob Edrian Triadi (Indonesia), Vennes Cheng (Hong Kong), Sophie Davis (New Zealand), Yuan Fuca (China), Sean Gaffney (USA/Taiwan), Eric Goh(Malaysia), Abhijan Toto (India/Thailand), Saba Khan (Pakistan), Leung Hoyin (Hong Kong), Taddeo Reinhardt (France), Valerie-Ann Tan (Singapore), Rui Tang (China/ USA), Takuya Tsutsumi (Japan/Poland), Mihaela Varzari (Romania/UK), and Zeng Hong (China/Hong Kong).

Szefer Karlsen 共同發起了 Humans of the Institution

計劃, 該項目致力於動員國際社會對自由職業者的生存狀況

採取行動。Ziherl 目前是墨爾本莫納什大學策展實踐的博士

是次講座以三個荷蘭的歷史背景

為場景, 探索博物館建構、自然、和現時 陷入困境的「市場-民族-國家」的全球 管制。首先探討的是關於「Mercator sapiens」——荷蘭博學家 Caspar

Barlaeus 於1632年所稱頌的「睿智

的商人」, 該形象為歐洲長途貿易的成 果, 亦可算是博物館的早期形態和策 展原型。第二是探討荷蘭學者 Hugo

Grotius 於1609年汲取各家思想所創立

的《自然法》與新加坡海峽荷蘭海盜的關 係、以及16世紀西班牙美洲對自然法的

展望。第三是荷蘭凡艾伯當代美術館的 兩件常設展品, 一尊石獅子和海中風暴

的雕刻壁畫——這兩件作品分別展示了

兩種自然力量的原型。這些案例所展露 出的貿易世界, 由今日後工業時代的視 點看起來尤其重要; 同時它們也代表介

於獅子和深海之間所展現的一種美學與 創作上不可能的縫隙。

Para Site 2018 國際研討會

Mercator Sapiens: A Global Heritage and Aesthetics of the Natural

This lecture moves between three Dutch scenes in an attempt to understand the perplexing relationship between the institution of the museum, the category of the natural, and the currently troubled global governance of the market and nation-state. Its reflections are based upon the Frontier Imaginaries fifth edition ‘Trade Markings’ that was presented with the Van Abbemuseum in Eindhoven earlier this year, and co-curated with Annie Fletcher and Charles Esche. The first featured scene depicts the figure of the ‘Mercator sapiens’ or the ‘wise merchant’, first hailed by Caspar Barlaeus in 1632 and perhaps a curatorial archetype and primeval harbinger of the museum as a fruit of European long-distance trade. The second scene is Hugo Grotius’ earlier 1609 introduction of ‘Natural Law’, its relation to Dutch piracy in the Singapore Strait, and the 1500s-era anticipation of Natural Law in the Spanish Americas. The third scene is a pair of permanent works in the entrance-foyer of Eindhoven’s Van Abbemuseum that offer two archetypes of the forces of nature: a stone-masonry lion and an engraved fresco of a stormy sea. While these scenes offer insight into a mercantile world that appears all the more significant from the viewpoint of the contemporary post-industrial era, they also represent an aesthetic and a series of artworks based in the impossible interval that lies between a lion and the deep blue sea.

被釘死在 十字架上的

Jalal Toufic

Jalal Toufic is a thinker and a mortal to death. He was born in 1962 in Beirut or Baghdad and died before dying in 1989 in Evanston, Illinois. His most recent book is What Was I Thinking? (e-flux journal-Sternberg Press, 2017). His other books are available for download at www.jalaltoufic. com. Most of his videos are available on Vimeo. He was a guest of the Artists-in-Berlin Program of the DAAD in 2011. He, along with artists and pretend artists, was a participant in the Sharjah Biennials 6, 10, and 11, the 9T H Shanghai Biennale, the 5T H Guangzhou Triennial, the 7T H Bi-City Biennale of Urbanism\Architecture (Shenzhen), the 3RD Athens Biennale, A History: Art, Architecture, and Design, from the 1980s Until Today (Centre Pompidou), etc.

He served as Director of the School of Visual Arts at the Lebanese Academy of Fine Arts (Alba) from September 2015 to August 2018, and is currently a Professor at the Department of Humanities and Creative Writing at Hong Kong Baptist University.

是次研討會介紹論述中提及:「藝

術如何能夠重設我們基礎性的迷思?」

Toufic 的演講,「被釘死在十字架上的」 提供了一個答案: 藝術或／和思想能達 成此目的乃藉由思忖一個社群的基礎 活動、文字等的深奧或想像的版本。

故此, 我們可以設想, 尼采是否參與了 巴勒斯坦和以色列人民的歷史? 即使

The Crucified

One of the questions posed in the conference’s statement is: ‘How can art reconfigure our collective foundational myths?’ Toufic’s contribution, ‘The Crucified’, provides one answer to this question: art and/or thought can do this by taking into consideration the esoteric or imaginal version of a community’s foundational events, texts, etc. And so, is Nietzsche part of the heritage of the inhabitants of Palestine and Israel, including those of them who have never come across his name, let alone read his works?

那些人從未聽過他的名字? 甚至未曾 讀過其著作?

Jalal Toufic 是一位思想家, 也是位終有一死的凡人。1962

年生於黎巴嫩的貝魯特市或伊拉克的巴格達市, 1989年逝世

於美國伊利諾伊州埃文斯頓, 而其魂魄早在此之前便已滅亡。 最新著作包括《我在想什麼?》(e-flux journal、Sternberg出

版社, 2017), 讀者可以在 www.jalaltoufic.com 下載他的其 它書籍, 並透過 Vimeo 觀看其錄像作品。他曾參與2011年

DAAD柏林藝術家駐留項目, 他與所謂的藝術家及宣稱為藝術 家的藝術家共同參與了第六、第十及第十一屆沙迦雙年展、 第九屆上海雙年展、第五屆廣州三年展、第7屆城市建築雙

城雙年展(深圳)、第3屆雅典雙年展及龐畢度中心的「一段歷

史: 藝術, 建築和設計, 從1980年代至今」等。他於2015年9月

至2018年8月期間於黎巴嫩美術學院視覺藝術學院擔任院長, 現為香港浸會大學人文及創作學系教授。

Riksa Afiaty 是一位印度尼西亞的策展人。近期聯合策劃

了展覽「權力與其他: 印尼與藝術（1835年至今）」, 該展覽為 布魯塞爾法國美術宮2017年歐羅巴利亞藝術節的一部分。

2011至2016年, 她為雅加達藝術小組 ruangrupa 的一員, 並 參與2015年雅加達雙年展「不進亦不退: 行動當下」的策展團 隊工作。2016年, 她獲得 Art Initiatives 基金會的非西方藝

術機構研究獎。她目前為凡艾克學院 2018–19 學年的學員。

以2017年布魯塞爾的展覽「權力與

其他」作為反思的起點, 是次講座將重新 審視藝術家的立場、機構建制與歷史的 相互作用、殖民主義的遺產, 並以去殖

民思想批判性地思考該展覽在全球語境 下對地域性的呈現, 以及當中的機遇和 挑戰。

講座將圍繞對印尼複雜性的重新思

考, 包括它與荷蘭的關係、在群島以外

的殖民性、以及參展藝術家如何在使用

博物館館藏的同時重新思考和比較於建 制以外的論述。參展的藝術家對博物館

所收藏的殖民時期文物背後的政治與道 德討論進行探究, 並透過多重的視角重 新審視當時的歷史語境。

回應去收藏化的最新論述、以及

（殖民）博物館現狀何以與其產生連接, 並透過當下重審殖民歷史的種種問題,

我們需要提問的是:「什麼需要改變? 藝 術工作、研究、在建構與民眾之間的各

種知識時, 又該如何推動零散的對話?」

Unfolding the Other Things

Reflecting on the 2017 Power and Other Things exhibition in Brussels, this talk examines, contests and experiments with the roles of artist and institution, and the ability of these roles to interplay between history, colonial legacy, and the interpretation of our present era, through decolonial thinking, to critically contemplate the exhibition itself as encapsulating the opportunities and challenges of staging regionality on a global scale.

The talk will focus on rethinking not only the complexities of the Indonesian–Dutch relationship but also the ideas of colonialism beyond the archipelago and the personal experience of the artists involved in the exhibition, who worked with museum’s collections to reinterpret and make comparisons with other narratives outside the institution. The collection was explored through artistic research illustrating the politics / ethics of collecting objects during the colonial period, and re-investigated the historical context by considering the overlapping perspectives of the time.

In response to the latest discourse on de-collecting and several questions addressing the ability of (colonial) museums to connect with and address issues of colonial history in relation to the current constituency: What needs to change? How can artistic practice, research, and the varied knowledge between institutions and the public support these fragmented conversations?

巴羅博物館 : 另一種理解文 化遺產的方法

巴羅博物館俗稱巴羅視覺藝術中

心, 藏品可分為大眾藝術（收於巴羅博物 館）、民俗藝術（收於原住民博物館）, 以 及巴拉圭和伊比利美洲的街頭藝術（收 於巴拉圭當代藝術博物館）。

觀眾除了可在博物館中可看到面

具、方濟會和耶穌會的畫像、節慶服

飾、伊比利美洲的藝術家（如 Ricardo Migliorisi、Carlos Colombino 和

Osvaldo Salerno）的藝術作品外, 臨時 館藏的品類也頗具多樣化, 包括新興藝

術家創作以及大型研究展覽, 呈現從19 世紀巴拉圭肖像的紀錄到一種名為 ao

poi 紡織產品。 （ao poi 為一種原住民布 料, 其刺繡圖案挪用了殖民者襯衣上常 見的圖形的原住民布料）。

博物館旨在消除大眾藝術、民俗藝

術和街頭藝術之間的隔閡, 因此, 巴羅博

物館在保留博物館的模糊身份同時, 並 未徹底完全地成為常規意義上的博物

館。它一方面迴避著「博物館」概念所設 下的邊界, 另一方面又服膺博物館所具 有的傳統意義, 並同時探索著這一概念 的不合時宜和可變性。

作為一個博物館, 它與「藝術」一樣,

擁有著流動的定義。借用巴拉圭藝術學

The Museo del Barro.

Another Way of Understanding Heritage

The Museo del Barro, as the Center for Visual Arts is commonly known, houses collections of popular art (the Museo del Barro) and ethnic art (Museum of Indigenous Art), as well as several expressions of the urban art of Paraguay and Ibero-America (the Paraguayan Museum of Contemporary Art).

Visitors may encounter a collection of popular masks, an ample assortment of Franciscan and Jesuit images, striking ceremonial costumes, or the impressive selection of Iberoamerican art, including works by Ricardo Migliorisi, Carlos Colombino, and Osvaldo Salerno. The temporary exhibitions are widely varied, from showcasing emerging artists to large survey exhibitions that bring together different works, from a documentation of 19th century portraiture in Paraguay to a collection of the recent production weavers making ao poi, an indigenous cloth that takes its embroidery style from that of colonial shirts.

The museum seeks to erase distinct ways of classifying art—doing away with boundaries separating the popular, the indigenous, and the urban in Paraguay. Thus, the Museo del Barro preserves the ambiguity of being a museum without totally being a museum. It attempts to skirt the boundaries of the museum concept while simultaneously rendering said concept ill-fitting and permeable.

It is an art museum as fluid as the definition of art itself, which here has tried to include, in the words of Paraguayan art scholar Ticio Escobar, ‘the beauty of the other.’

者 Ticio Escobar 所言: 它嘗試包含「他

者的美」。

Critically important archaeological evidence and artworks lie neglected in museums for want of a more updated interpretative framing, commensurate with the needs of our times and reflecting a more accurate picture of the research that has been done in the past fifty years. The curation of Naman P. Ahuja’s last two major exhibitions reflect a conscious effort to include more perspectives on the role of gender and sexuality in shaping the history of the world.

Old chestnuts like the so-called ‘Dancing Girl’ of Mohenjodaro were given an entirely new—and hopefully more empowering—interpretation in the recent exhibition India and the World. The Body in Indian Art, which opened with a powerful 13T H century memorial sculpture dedicated to a female soldier. The verses of medieval ascetics and their portraits were used to communicate their politics against the caste hierarchy and to seek gender equality. Whether in ‘bhakti’ or in ‘tantra’, religion in India has often been used as the space to legitimize sexual expression. An attempt was made to try and prove that same sex love has been very much a part of Indian tradition through video documentation of rituals and other films of traditional pedagogy education, which disturbed our constraints of gender normativity. Paintings and sculptures depicting the birth stories of deities and heroes such as Ganesha, Krishna and Kartikeya, etc., were used to highlight issues around surrogacy, adoption, single-parenthood, and non-traditional families. Two Girls, an extremely important work by Amrita Shergill, was used to highlight themes of sexual freedom, migration, and issues of identity/ race in the context of anti-Semitism and the rise of the Suffragette movement. The exhibition extended to modern popular culture, which has absorbed the history of ancient and medieval art to make powerful political works through prints and comic books.

Cultural heritage is often defined through instruments of power, for example government or religious monuments, or art forms produced through royal patronage. Popular culture on the other hand is uniquely democratic, reaching audiences across economic, political, and social divides.

Hong Kong’s most significant contribution to world visual culture is undoubtedly cinema. Furthermore, popular culture has been a rich source of inspiration for visual artists, as well as a platform for diverse practices across different creative fields, including graphic design, illustration, art direction, and photography. Through a 2017 exhibition titled Ambiguously Yours: Gender in Hong Kong Popular Culture, M+ Museum presented an interdisciplinary approach to popular culture through its collections, while examining the popular culture of 1980s and 90s Hong Kong as a space wherein gender stereotypes were challenged.

This talk will discuss this curatorial exercise while asking, what role institutions can play in presenting readings of popular culture as cultural artefacts? and what are the implications of these readings and their ability to challenge accepted interpretations espoused in fan culture?

He holds an MA in Contemporary Art Theory from Goldsmiths, University of London and has published extensively, including works for Coleccion Patricia Phelps de Cisneros, Re-Visiones, Miami Rail, Atlantica, and Harvard University. His work explores visual and aural cultures as potentialities in postcolonial contexts, understanding them through manifestations of material culture, time, and linguistic operations such as translation and silence. Ramirez served as Director at Ciudad de la Imaginación in Guatemala from 2010 to 2014.

Following that, he has been working internationally as an independent curator, developing exhibitions and projects for institutions such as the CCA (Center for Contemporary Arts) in Glasgow, the New School & Parsons in New York, and the Jindřich Chalupecký Society and Display in Prague. He was Co-Curator of the 19T H Bienal de Arte Paiz and was Co-Curator of the long-term research project Guatemala Después, which concluded with a publication, a digital collection, and an exhibition at The Sheila C. Johnson Design Center in New York. Currently, Ramirez and an interdisciplinary team are working on an experimental web journal discussing sonic and visual cultures with a focus on post-colonial regions, to be launched by 2019.

Cosmoplanetarisms: Plurilingual Translation and Ironical Exoticism

What if instead the failed aspiration of a singular universal consciousness, as imagined by Western cosmopolitanism, we could think on entangled and porous cosmoplanetarisms? If the machine of industrial capitalism configured ethnicities and social classes to fit the order of colonial exploitation under the regime of nation-states more than a century ago, today the technolinguistic global machine seems to dissolve alterity into an abstract cognitive global capitalization of work — ethnicity becomes post-political and cosmetic under neoliberal multiculturalism while ultra-nationalists, on the other hand, insist on the reactionary racialization of politics and the closing of borders. Japanese cultural theorist Naoki Sakai has proposed plurilingual translation as an alternative means of understanding an ontological entanglement between cultures, not based on epistemic violence but on a common ground of shared potencies.

This talk aims to speculate around the notion of cosmoplanterisms from a post-identarian angle, where silence and irony are central for such a task. We will do this by examining several contemporary artists, such as Terike Haapoja and her interdisciplinary approach to non-human thinking, Postcommodity’s work on issues of indigeneity and knowledge, and Pamela Cevallos’s projects focusing on heritage and material culture in Andean communities.

Marian Pastor Roces

Marian Pastor Roces is an independent curator and critic working across subjects including contemporary art, museums, the politics of identity (particularly in relation to urban studies), clothing and related sign systems, and the failures of the democratic project in many parts of the world. Aside from her policy work as a partner of the think tank Brain Trust Inc. she heads TAO INC, a Philippinebased corporation that develops and implements museum-building and exhibition projects, and provides cultural analysis for urban development projects. Her current projects include the reconceptualization of the museums of the Cultural Center of the Philippines; and overseeing the establishment of a Museum of Indigenous Knowledge, working with the architect Kengo Kuma to design the building. Theoretical and political struggles encountered during curatorial work inform Roces’ theoretical writing, which is published internationally.

Roces is currently preparing a finished manuscript for publication on a little-remembered ethnocidal campaign against Muslims, enacted by Christian settlers to the island of Mindanao, immediately before and during the Martial Law Period of the 1970s. The book, Wounded Wa-O, has remained deliberately unpublished in anticipation of an appropriate time for release. It has been circulated with the members of the Peace Panel between the Moro National Liberation Front and Government of the Philippines; and has assisted in the efforts of the multi-nation Transitional Justice Committee looking into historical injustice and the possibilities of systematic truth-seeking for a Mindanao riven by violent conflict for centuries.

We must look back critically at the misrepresentation of diverse perspectives and reconfigure who is being heard.

As one of the major colonial countries of the modern era, and as a multicultural country today, France has had a special duty in terms of the repatriation of stolen or looted artefacts from around the globe. French authorities have only recently seized upon this problem, following the 2017 speech of President Macron in Ouagadougou, which was followed by the creation of a committee of experts charged with presenting concrete solutions for Africa. This presentation will put the current situation into perspective in relation to this long tradition which presents French museums as ‘universal’ places, while fostering a national identity.

Those Who Are Dead Are Not Ever Gone

The very strange thing about choking is that one can choke even while eating the most delicious of foods.

Perhaps, especially with such foods, the greed to quickly devour the delicacy—with little focus on mastication, more on consuming—might lead to the piece of food being diverted from its track towards the oesophagus and instead into the trachea. The institution of the ethnological or world museum seems to be in the midst of a serious choking crisis. The delicacies that most of these museums have acquired, which is to say co-opted (read: ingested), seem to have collectively missed the track to the oesophagus and got stuck in the respiratory tract. They have been stuck there for as long as the history of mass collections, acquisitions, and looting, for as long as the ruthless and ongoing extraction of cultural property has occurred in the former colonies outside of Europe. This is a twelve-act essay on the maintenance of supremacy, the ethnological Museum, and the intricacies of the Humboldt Forum.

His work, in a range of media including textiles, drawing, installation, and photography, uses strategies of appropriation to mine alternative or repressed historical events, unravel official accounts, and draw out threads of complicity between incidents, ideologies, and people. Often taking on the form of domestic accessories, Abad’s artworks glide seamlessly between these histories, enacting quasi-fictional combinations with their leftovers.

一手段。從拍賣目錄、博物館資料庫、 和政府記錄中取材, Abad 將 Marcos

夫婦奢華的收藏品重現, 包括委約創作 的肖像、珠寶和大師的油畫, 從而將過

This talk focuses on the artist’s ongoing project entitled The Collection of Jane Ryan & William Saunders, which draws attention to the roles that certain artefacts have played in the unfolding history of the Philippines; specifically, the conjugal dictatorship of Ferdinand and Imelda Marcos. In focusing on objects that shaped the couple’s cultural legacy, Abad points to the inconsistencies and incongruities inherent to their history, from the postcolonial ideology they enforced under the auspices of Western democracies to the ongoing revisionist attempts to rehabilitate their regime. The title is a reference to the Marcoses’ looting of the Philippine treasury—aided by the Western banking system. ‘Jane Ryan’ and ‘William Saunders’ were the false identities the couple used to open four bank accounts at Credit Suisse Zurich in 1968.

The art historian Patrick Flores uses the term ‘democratic gesture’ in relation to the Marcoses’ patronage of the avant-garde, weaponizing its progressive aesthetics to promote ideas of ethno-modernity and development amidst a background of brutality and corruption. The Collection of Jane Ryan & William Saunders seeks to subvert and sustain this gesture. Sourcing from auction catalogues, museum archives, and government records, Abad has reproduced objects from the Marcoses’ lavish collection of commissioned portraits, jewellery, and Old Master paintings—allowing access to an inventory that has remained invisible, and performing an act of historical accountability that has stayed elusive.

往隱藏的收藏品曝光, 並將始終處於逃 逸狀態的歷史責任帶回現場。

side-lined material, “Utopian Stage” is neither driven by merely archival and encyclopaedic motivations, nor does it espouse a fetishist admiration of a singular object. Instead, it treats and reconsiders them as material reminders of the euphoric, utopian impulses and historical tensions that marked the cross-cultural histories of art and anti-colonial struggle in the 1960s and 1970s. Situating the festival within a network of shifting geopolitical and ideological alliances, this presentation calls for a differential understanding of heritage, one that does not hinge upon cultural artefacts, but instead upon the unrealized aspirations and repressed traumas to which the festival attests.

Walled Unwalled

In the year 2000, there were a total of fifteen fortified border walls and fences between sovereign nations.

Today, physical barriers at sixty-three borders divide nations across four continents. As these walls were being constructed, millions and millions of invisible cosmic particles called muons descended into the earth’s atmosphere and penetrated metres deep, through layers of concrete, soil, and rock. Scientists realised that these deep penetrating particles could be harvested, and a technology could be developed to use their peculiar physical capacities to pass through surfaces previously impervious to x-rays. Muons allowed us to see for the first time the contraband hidden in lead lined shipping containers and secret chambers buried inside the stone walls of the pyramids. Now, no wall on earth is impermeable. Today, we’re all wall, and no wall at all.

Walled Unwalled is a 20 minute film performance-video comprised of an interlinking series of narratives derived from legal cases that revolve around evidence heard or experienced through walls. It consists of a series of performances, re-enactments, and a monologue staged inside a trio of sound effect studios in the East Berlin’s Cold War Era.

圖們山水的 記憶分歧

Divergent Memories of Tumen Shan-shui

鴨綠江和圖們江——兩條源於長白

Mount Changbai (Baekdu), together with the two rivers that originate from it, the Yalu and the Tumen, separate the Korean peninsula from Northeast China. Arguably one of the oldest state boundaries in the world, the mountain is considered the ancestral home of both the Manchu and Korean peoples. Over the past three centuries, the territorial ambiguity, especially along Mount Changbai and the Tumen River, has led to a physical and conceptual transformation of the region, which saw unprecedented complexities arise in the two decades after WWII, culminating in the 1945 division of Korea and the demarcation of the Sino–North Korean border in 1962.

The cultural significance of this mountain and river to the region stems from the ruling classes of the Qing and Choson kingdoms; beginning in the late 19T H century, the region was inherited by nationalists, and it is now utilized

by Chinese and Korean corporations in order to capitalize on the resources found in this landscape. This talk will provide reflections and historical frameworks based on the artist’s on-going project focused on the notions of border, mountain, and water throughout this region.
