马凌画廊很荣幸能在这特殊的2020年里延续一年一度的录像放映项目。鉴于社交限制政策及当前仍在进行中的画廊空间改造计划，本年度的放映转移到了线上的虚拟空间。本次线上放映于今天10月12日开始，并持续至11月6日，题为“A面 / B面”。 

如同黑胶唱片的A面与B面、硬币的字与花，万物都有两面。在我们不由地去审思过去和当下的生存处境之时，“A面/B面”的概念能让我们保持警醒，不忘阴翳之下那些积极的意义。 

如今，每个人比以往更大程度地依赖数码影像。我们靠它来获取资讯、了解现状，借它与人交流与维系情感，甚至从中寻求共情与慰藉。影像成为大部分人蛰居家中时最亲密的媒介。对当代艺术家而言，影像依然是迷人而复杂的创作工具。本次放映汇集了来自艺术家何子彦（新加坡）、许家维（中国台湾）、李爽（中国）、林育荣（新加坡）、劳丽丽（中国香港）、罗瑟林德·纳沙什比（英国）、潘涛阮（越南）、陶辉（中国）、阿比查邦·韦拉斯塔古（泰国）的近年影像作品。借着数码传播的便利，我们期望这些来自不同国家和地区的艺术家的影像实践，仍能为每一位安坐家中的观众带来一些诗意或刺激的感受，并提出一些挑战性的思考路径，触发大家去思考特殊时期之下纷繁社会的A面和B面。

Edouard Malingue Gallery is pleased to present the annual screening program in the special year of 2020. Due to social restriction policies and ongoing gallery space renovation, the screening is going virtual this year. The online screening is available from the 12 October to 6 November 2020, titled Side A/Side B. 

Just like the two sides of a vinyl record, or the two sides of a coin, there are always side A and B in the world. As we cannot help but to examine the living conditions in the past and the present, we are to stay alerted by presenting Side A/Side B, reminding ourselves of both the clouds and the silver linings. 

More than ever, one relies upon digital imagery on a daily basis. We use it to obtain information, to learn about the present global situation, to communicate and to maintain relationships, and even to accommodate affective and emotional needs. Digital imagery and videos have become one of the most intimate and private media today, as one stays home. For many contemporary artists, the video is a fascinating and complex artistic form. The “Side A/Side B” screening showcases recent works by Ho Tzu Nyen (Singapore), Hsu Chia-Wei (Taiwan, China), Li Shuang (China), Charles Lim (Singapore), Lo Lai Lai (Hong Kong, China), Rosalind Nashashibi (UK), Phan Thảo-Nguyên (Vietnam), Tao Hui (China) and Apichatpong Weerasethakul (Thailand). Making use of the convenience of the digital video form, and of the diversity embedded in the artworks from different regions, we aim at presenting a viewing experience that is at once poetic, stimulating and sensational, proposing provocative and challenging ideas, and encouraging the viewer to reconsider the two sides of the  society caught in a special moment.
