愉快地在河坊街地址度过了两年时光，我们也感到很意外，啥空间又要搬家了。很感谢一直以来给予支持和帮助的朋友们，无论是艺术行业内的，还是隔壁邻居或者路过的游客，你们有意无意的建议会给我们带来启发与思考。希望可以在新的场地，继续因地制宜，认真坚持，团结友爱。

啥空间(Schein Space)是由沿街店铺转化而来的过渡型空间，因地制宜地和艺术家合作，根据当时当地的情况把“无限大”的展览融入到24小时可观看的沿街店铺中。我们选择了一个非指定人群观看的空间位置，潜移默化的艺术传播方式复兴，回归到大街上、人群中。我们认为艺术家的态度以及艺术家与观看者相互影响的关系更值得去理解以及传播——“无意识作为一种仍然不为人知的力量起着作用”。

是约束，也是自由。

啥空间由五个内容组成，分别是「这是展览」（是艺术家个人项目/展览的栏目，啥空间会因地制宜地和艺术家合作，根据当时当地的情况把“无限大”的展览融入到24小时可观看的沿街店铺中）、「这是友好」（是啥空间找朋友的栏目，不定期分享世界各地的活动/项目/展览，并与之相识结交，成为好友，互相鼓励与支持）、「这是对话」（是啥空间和艺术家在项目期间，通过展览作为线索，进行互相交流与对话的栏目）、「这是活动」（是由啥空间自发产生的、临时的、快速应对的活动）、「柳浪闻莺艺术家驻留项目(OSWAR)」（由啥空间发起，以对抗的、不确定的、透明的、矛盾的、真诚的、协作的方式，鼓励和支持艺术家在驻留期间进行创作、交流、参与、公开，我们扎根杭州，希望能为杭州的艺术生态提供氧气）。

最初，空间在杭州人都比较熟悉的武林路上，附近有各式各样的店铺，但因为电商的崛起以及疫情的影响，从前的服装一条街已然没落，留下的是日化商店以及不断更迭的网红店。我们抱着新奇以及未知的想法，开始了武林路空间的旅程。展览《大河：糖醋里脊的制造者亦是糖醋里脊本身》，我们落地了一个“莱鸟驿站”，并放置了被灰色处理的快递包裹，这引起了很多观众不同的声音与争议，这也是第一次出现的情况——和观众产生了“对话”。通过不断的项目，我们也在学习研究大众对于“啥空间”的存在是怎么想的。相对而言，《王家骏：你知道我不是那样的人》中存在一个真正的“对话”场所——留言本。艺术家本意是想让观众留下观展后的想法，但出乎意料却真实感人的是，观众还是更喜欢把本子当作一个树洞，来表达自己内心真实的想法，有些观众甚至为了看看有没有陌生人回复自己的留言，多次往返。在武林路的空间中，我们获得到更多的是生活气息与工作下班之后观众们的感受。

河坊街空间位于西湖的柳浪闻莺景区附近，我们会根据附近的地理性质来讨论方案，展览《杨杭平：当时的天气》是艺术家根据当下的时令季节完成的项目，以“关乎天气”为切入视角，邀请观众进入约15平米的“橘园”，通过设置的关于栽培、贮藏、流通的线索，重新想象柑橘属悠久的生命源流所经历的被人经常忽视的天气故事，并且思考在“有用”导向的价值观体系下，柑橘所经历的生产记忆。而驻留艺术家张乐华也根据在空间工作、生活期间发生的故事以及由此引发的回忆，与大家发生一些感知上的互动。邀请好友一起划船游西湖，不小心写生了，不小心湖人合一了；使用之前展览艺术家留下的道具，不知不觉就和手上的作品相融合，新的作品就有了。

现阶段，啥空间是临时的、琐碎的、快速拥有的、不断流动发生的，也可以说啥也不是，啥也都有。理想的空间状态是保持空间性质，能够持续地进行下去，并且不断学习，有更多的学术追求。我们也想要在未来保持空间展览的独立性同时，赋予空间更多的可能性。

第五年我们希望日子平稳向前：

这是武林路389号的结束，也是河坊街465号的开端

BYE BYE 2023 - HAPPY NEW YEAR 2024！

Que Sera, Sera 2025

Schein Space is a transitional space converted from the street stores. It cooperates with artists according to local conditions and integrates “infinite" exhibitions into street stores that can be viewed 24 hours a day. We chose a spatial location where non-designated people can watch, returning to the streets and the crowd, the art communication in a method of subconscious is revived. We believe that the attitude of the artist and the interactive relationship between the artist and the viewer are more worthy of understanding and dissemination - "the unconscious operates as a still unknown force”.

It is a constraint but also a freedom.

Currently, Schein Space consists of five contents: “ Is an exhibition " (a column for artists' personal projects/exhibitions) where Schein Space will cooperate with artists according to local conditions and the "infinite" exhibitions are integrated into the shops along the street that can be viewed 24 hours a day), “ Is friendship " ( a column for finding friends, sharing events/projects/exhibitions around the world from time to time, and getting to know them, becoming friends, and encouraging and supporting each other !), "Is a dialogue" (a column in which Schein Space and artists use the exhibition as a clue to have a conversation with each other during the exhibition period), “ Is an event" (Spontaneous, temporary, and responsive activities initiated by Schein Space), “ Is OSWAR" (A residency program launched by Schein Space, encouraging and supporting artists to create, exchange, participate, and present their work in a way that is confrontational, uncertain, transparent, contradictory, sincere, and collaborative. Rooted in Hangzhou, this program aspires to enrich the city’s artistic ecosystem.).

Originally, Schein Space was located on Wulin Road, a well-known area in Hangzhou lined with various shops. However, with the rise of e-commerce and the impact of COVID-19, what was once a bustling fashion street gradually declined, leaving behind daily goods stores and an ever-changing mix of trendy influencer shops. With curiosity and a sense of the unknown, we embarked on our journey at the Wulin Road space. For the exhibition"大河：糖醋里脊的制造者亦是糖醋里脊本身 ," we set up a "Cainiao Yizhan" and placed gray-toned delivery packages, which sparked a wide range of reactions and debates among visitors. This was the first time we truly experienced a "dialogue" with the audience. Through continuous projects, I also started to explore how the public perceives the existence of Schein Space. In contrast, the exhibition"Wang Jiajun: You Know Me Better Than That " featured a more tangible "dialogue" space—a guestbook. While the artist originally intended for visitors to leave thoughts on the exhibition, something unexpectedly moving happened: instead of discussing the artworks, visitors used the guestbook as a "confessional" to express their innermost thoughts. Some even returned multiple times to check if a stranger had responded to their messages. At Wulin Road, what we gained most was the presence of everyday life and the emotions of visitors after their workday had ended.

When Schein Space was located on Hefang Street, we designed our projects in response to the surrounding geographical context. Situated just 100 meters from the Orioles Singing in the Willows of West Lake, the exhibition "Yang Hangping: The Weather of That Day" was conceived with the seasonal changes in mind. Using "weather" as a conceptual entry point, the exhibition invited visitors into a 15-square-meter "orange grove." Through curated clues related to cultivation, storage, and circulation, the project reimagined the often-overlooked weather stories embedded in the long history of citrus plants. It also explored the production memories of citrus within a value system driven by "usefulness." Resident artist Zhang Lehua also engaged in sensory interactions with others, drawing inspiration from the stories and memories that emerged during his time working and living in the space. He invited friends for a boat ride on West Lake—accidentally sketching, unintentionally becoming one with the lake. Using props left behind by previous exhibiting artists, he unknowingly merged them with his own works, and before realizing it, new artworks had taken shape.

At this stage, Schein Space is a transitional space, which is temporary, trivial, rapidly owned, and constantly flowing. It can also be said that it is nothing but also has everything. Our ideal space state is to maintain the nature of the space, continue to carry out it, continue to learn, to have more academic pursuits. We also wish to maintain the independence of space exhibitions in the future while giving the space more possibilities.
