Out of the Fence 护栏

In order to order population, fences are showing up massively on the streets and sideways of Beijing. It appears almost lunatic. Lunacy of constructing of structuring of regulating. Navigating the masses. Are we inside or outside the zoo gates?

Representing an enclosure of a piece of land in the West, fences in China regulate the masses and guide the people. Crowd coping seems only necessary in exceptional cases in the West – it is the daily card in China. Are fences restraints, borders, barriers? Do they offer security or seclusion or confrontation, are they possibly conquerable? How do we live inside them?

北京的街头巷尾,无论是人行道上还是马路上,到处竖立着分离和引导人群用的护栏!护栏从功能上等同于警示。警示有很多种,有建筑工地的警示、秩序警示以及对人群的控制。我们身在何处,是在动物园的栅栏以内还是以外呢?

西方的区域秩序的维护到了中国变成了对人群的引导和控制。在西方,通常只用于特殊场合的一种对群众的控制,到了中国,变成了家常便饭。护栏、强制和界限意味着障碍吗?护栏、强制和界限会给我们带来安全吗、还是会导致隔绝甚至是反抗?人们可以克服护栏吗?我们怎么生活在充满护栏的一个世界里?

Connected in Parallel 并联

How do we find, create and use the personal space inside the given and limited aisles? Our three artists are guided by all kind of fences on their ways, but they are also connected by fences and at the same time divided – connected in parallel. Inside these fences, they have their personal on and off buttons, with which they can switch and witch how they like. In this exhibition they are showing us their own paths …

这里涉及到的问题是,在业已存在并标明的路径中创造属于个人的自由空间并让它为自己服务。三位参展艺术家分别走着自己的路,这些路被充满各种可能性的护栏引导着伸向远方,他们三人彼此由护栏联系在一起,却又同时处于分离的状态。在这些围栏的范围内,他们依靠自己的开关,主动地决定自己与外部世界建立或中止联系。


And this is how it looked 展览是这样:

We went to a bar after the opening to celebrate … and happened to stumble on this – fences everywhere:
我们开幕之后去了一个酒吧……而碰到这个——那里都有护栏:
