“不事生产”本意为无心谋生之道,不注意通过劳动生产的方式解决谋生的办法。但是在不同的语境中,它的指向褒贬不一 —— 一方面,春秋时代农工为平民之业,士大夫“不事生产”,这和古希腊的贵族相似,但他们却能广闻博览;而另一方面懒惰成性,“不事生产”,便是指摘人四体不勤,五谷不分。参与到这次展览的两位艺术家 Javier González Pesce 与易连,既不是“不事生产”指涉的前者,也更加不是后者。他们是依托驻地项目的机制,获得了一阶段“不事生产”的时间和空间,这往往区别于日常的工作模式,以便于进一步挖掘个人的创作秩序。

哈维尔创作现场 图片:Points
哈维尔的工作将个人想法、情境和物件糅合进艺术化的叙述,并且系统性地用他们来占据一个特定的空间。驻地期间,他描述了这样一个情境,“当我平躺在空间中心,蚊子携带着自己的血液在其身体周围绕行,又或者是混合着这个昆虫的血液。我的身体和蚊子是一个脆弱且不完美的太阳系模型。” 他描述的如同一个虚构雕塑,而这个虚构的雕塑也的确在展览中成为了一个引导支撑——表明他建立的创作秩序是将艺术家的身体作为的核心,与一个外部的“合作者”共同完成创作,并留有不可控性。

易连的创作方式区别与哈维尔,他更倾向于作为情境制造者,将主体的人或者其他生物留在情境中去反应,而随之制造的往往是一种疏离感,陌生感,是日常生活之外的想象。在锦溪的驻地,有相似于易连的家乡的地方,都有他熟悉的水。他邀请异乡人,和当地人进入这片水域,区别于以往的创作的是——文本成为很重要的元素。易连将发生在水面上的讲述和对话,抽丝剥茧提炼成文本,并且贯穿此次创作的始末。

艺术家驻地项目,往往发生在情境各异的场地、伴随着条件不一的设施,以及有所起伏的机构声望,但是殊途同归的是,都为艺术家营造时间和空间来进行创作。尤其在现下很难获得“不事生产”的时刻,驻地项目提供到艺术家在工作室、展场、画廊之外,实际而有效的补充。在即将结束驻地之期,我们将在几点当代艺术中心的多个空间,平行呈现两位艺术家相互影响、渗透交错的创作内容。

Points International Residency Project II : Leading a Life of Idle Pleasure

Leading a Life of Idle Pleasure is intended to be a way of making a living without paying attention to the way of solving the problem of earning a living through the means of labor production. However, in different contexts, its orientation is mixed – on the one hand, agricultural workers in the Spring and Autumn Period were civilians, and the scholars Leading a Life of Idle, which is similar to ancient Greek nobles, though they were well-read; on another lazy hand, Leading a Life of Idle can mean that people are not diligent, and grain is not divided. The two artists who participated in the exhibition, Javier González Pesce and Yi Lian, are neither the former nor the latter. They rely on the mechanism of the residency project to obtain the time and space to Leading a Life of Idle, which is often different from the daily working mode, so as to further explore the creative order of the individual.
Pesce's work combines personal ideas, situations, and objects into artistic narratives and systematically uses them to occupy a specific space. During his stay, he described such a situation: "When I lie flat in the center of the space, mosquitoes carry my own blood around their bodies, or are mixed with the blood of this insect. My body and mosquitoes are a fragile and imperfect solar system model." He described it as a fictional sculpture, and this fictional sculpture did become a guiding support in the exhibition — indicating that his creative order was the core of the artist's body, and the external "collaborators" work together to create the creation and leave it uncontrollable.
Yi Lian's creative approach differs from Pesce. He is more inclined to be a situational producer, to leave the subject or other creatures in the situation to react, and then to create a sense of alienation, strangeness, an imagination outside daily life. In residency at Jinxi, there is a place similar to Yi Lian's hometown, water with which he is familiar. He invited outsiders and locals to enter the waters, which is different from previous creations — the text becomes a very important element. Yi Lian will tell a story and dialogue on the water, extract it into text, and run this through the beginning and end of this creation.
Artist residency projects often occur in venues with different situations, facilities with different conditions, and shifting institutional reputations, but all roads lead to Rome in that all residencies create time and space for artists to create. Especially at the moment when it is difficult to get to time to be Leading a Life of Idle, the residency provides an artist with practical and effective supplements outside the studio, exhibition, and gallery. At the end of this period, we will present in parallel the interactive content of the two artists in a number of spaces at Points Center for Contemporary Art.
