As the newcomers on the block, we are just beginning to learn the latest comings and goings of the Beixinqiao crowd, and we’d like you to visit and get to know the neighbours with us.

On Thursday, the 23rd of December, the new HomeShop will become a site for the discussion, editing and printing of a broadsheet to reveal the latest local news with the flair of our own homegrown media production.

昨天在植村絵美发起的集市上，菜农段的女儿徘徊在自己爸爸的有机产品前(上!)。

我们尽力为“胡同儿”贡献三个有机农产品生产者和他们的产品（芳嘉园，德润屋，和圣林生态农庄）的努力，最终阵亡在阵阵刺耳的批判声中：“谁会相信你啊！哈？你们这帮人真的是在这里做生意的吗？这些资料真的是你们的吗？现在人人都可以从网上下载这些东西……” “不信任”成了我们最主要的问题，一个泡沫塑料箱子，一台生锈的三轮车，两个在街头销售产品的乱头发女孩，显然不是能让精明而警惕的路人信服的包装方式。吴以楠不怕：“没关系，我的皮很厚!” 这一点菜农在我们动身出发的时候就已经提醒过我们，他们知道自己的劳动是一个腐败、贪婪、丝毫不关心人们健康和安全的违规满的市场的一抠抠儿。但没关系，我们皮厚厚地坚持了一天，于是我们做了一个小小的实验，只卖了很少的产品，但让少数人注意到了我们的集市，并且对公众对于与街边小贩、农产品市场和市场美学的态度做了一点田野调查。

Our meagre efforts to hit the hutongs with goods from three of the city’s organic producers—芳嘉园 Farmer DUAN, 德润屋 DERUNWU and 圣林生态农庄 SUNLIN Farm—result in harsh critical criticism: Who’s going to trust you? Ha! Are you guys making any real business here? What kind of printed material do you have? Anyone can download something from the internet. Mistrust is the major issue here, and a styrofoam box, rusty tricycle and two bed-headed sales girls are just not the right kind of packaging to convince wise-cracking passersby. The farmers warned us when we set out, as they know that their work is niche of the niche within a market overrun by corruption, greed and little personal concern for general health/safety. Sunday says, “It doesn’t matter. I have a hard heart.” And so we embarked upon a little experiment, selling very little but pointing a few people towards the fair and engaging in a bit of field work about public attitudes towards street sellers, the produce market and marketing aesthetics.

感谢絵美和其他所有对集市做出贡献的朋友们！Thank you to Emi and all the others who helped to make the Country Fair possible!

The ‘Blood Real Estate Map’ which sparked huge interest online in the last months came to my knowledge in the real space of my living room. It’s kind of messy here these days, as preparations to move out of the small grounds at Xiaojingchang are underway for a lateral shift towards Beixinqiao, but a friend stopped by one evening with the kind of hushed urgency of a very important favour to ask. She was asked by a wishing to remain anonymous contact of hers to help translate a response text about his initiative documenting violent incidents linked to forced demolition and eviction. She needed my help for the translating and proofreading, and so another late night at HomeShop rolled cultural exchange, an attempt to map the current condition and maybe a little bit of exaggerated or not ballsy-ness (you have to keep quiet about this, he’s at a lot of risk and we don’t know what may happen) all into one.

The Blood Real Estate project, which was launched at the beginning of October, consists of two Google maps:

the revised version [note: use proxy to access], which is edited by the founder and shows only verified cases, and an open version [note: use proxy to access] that anyone can add to or edit. Little volcanoes represent sites where people were evicted violently, with water canons or Molotov cocktails.  Beds indicate incidents that resulted in at least one death. [France 24]

The map maker felt a personal response to foreign media was necessary because of all the publicity generated by his work, and while proofreading his text I was surprised to find such an emotional personal declaration to clarify an action of anonymous digital tracking (though the wiki-version feels much more dramatic). The calm reflection he claims results from this project sounds more spiritual than practical, more self-intuited than strategically outlined. Not that anyone has any answers. Blow-up is blow-up, whether it is someone’s home, publicity or real and imminent threat.

Below is the full version of his text “Believe in Tomorrow”, first published in an edited version at France 24 International News:

“集市”是一个关于食物和城市农业的正在进行中的教育项目。它包含两部分：农民市场和一系列小项目。农民市场从北京自然/有机农业生产者和消费者之间的直接交易所产生的需求中发展出来。然而，这里仍旧存在着一个巨大的鸿沟，一些生产者产出过剩的有机产品，与此同时，一些消费者却不知从何买到绿色食品。“集市”便是这样一个平台，农民和消费者组建网络，最重要的是，他们还可以在城市中分享彼此的经验。这将使我们在饮食习惯、选择及行为上获得新的认识，继而成为一名合格的城市消费者，我们也相信，这将鼓励并使当地农民未来的生产获得收益。同样，我们组织小型讨论、演示、行为和工作坊，也带有教育的目的。

Country Fair is an ongoing educational endeavor, both a farmers’ market and a series of projects and lectures related to urban agriculture. It was developed out of the need to connect natural/organic farmers and consumers in Beijing.  Many farmers have an oversupply of produce, yet few consumers know how to begin a more natural way of eating.  The Country Fair serves as a platform for to learn about responsible urban practices and to demonstrate how the market works in Beijing: understanding distribution and consumption patterns will support farmers in their future practice.

Studio-X（哥伦比亚大学建筑、规划与历史保护研究院）是本次“集市”项目的合作方。关于农业的观念和城市空间的认识，以及本地食品如何进入城市的讨论，将在这个空间内进行。在本次会议中，我们还将绘制一张配送地图，以便更好地认识整个路线、可能超负荷的区域、环境问题，最简单的目的则是认识食物是如何配送的。

On November 27, the Country Fair will take place at Studio-X Beijing (Columbia University Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation) – a multi-purpose space to engage with the fields of urban planning and development – and will include collaborative activities to explore how locally produced food comes into the city. During the day-long event, farmers and professors will speak about the policies that shape rural agricultural practices, and participants can contribute to digital map visualizing how food circulates in the city.

集市是“行动花园”项目的一部分，由植村絵美和北京维他命创意空间主持。

“Country Fair” has been developed through the project “Mobile Garden” by Emi UEMURA and Vitamin Creative Space in Beijing.

This is a sneak-peak-foreshadowing-harbinger kind of thing of some up and coming plans at HomeShop, tied in ever so subtly to this year’s 有种 BALLSY series. We have actually been a bit more subtle-quiet-uneventful than in previous series, but mind you this may also have to do with some deep internalisation that any real ballsy-ness requires. I―ahem, E.S.!―would like to understand BALLSY with reference to that constant movement, perhaps of the sort that Agamben speaks about, always in relation to lack, but not necessarily productivity (relief in new one-liners: A Designer Who Does Not Produce). There is a movement whereby “that which if it is, is as if it wasn’t, it lacks itself (manca a se stesso), and if it isn’t, is as if it was, it exceeds itself.”

You may have no clue what we’re getting at here, but little monkey let’s just leave it at that for now. If you would like more information or the recipe for 吴以楠 WU Yinan‘s beauty balls, just leave a comment to this post.

As part of Emi UEMURA’s project “Mobile Garden & Calendar Restaurant” at the shop’s summer space in Caochangdi, on September 18th 2010 we invite you to “Country Fair,” a gathering of local farmers whose practices emphasize organic, community-based and wholistic approaches.

The farmers, some of whom will be offering their produce for sale, will be available for exchanges of information and conversation. From 2pm to 4pm, there will be a round table discussion (in Chinese, but we will try to have some informal translation available) about farming in Beijing and China in general, and it should be quite inspiring and informative. Natural farming techniques are relatively small scale in Beijing, but as it grows what does it represent for the way our cities are fed, and as it becomes appropriated into an “industry” and a lifestyle image? How does it challenge the way we live, and our own potential to grow? Very important questions can be sourced to potatoes.

Please make your way to the shop on September 18th and join in!

维他命创意空间这个店在草场地, 正在进行移动花园和日历餐厅计划.

移动花园计划通过在泡沫塑料盒里面栽培花草蔬菜, 来示范非传统的食物种植、食用方式. 日历餐厅计划根据移动花园的蔬菜成长情况来决定什么时候营业, 采用我们亲自栽培烹调的时蔬, 菜单上有比萨, 沙拉, 豆芽等选择.

种植天然、有机蔬菜的农民与北京的消费者之间依然缺乏链接, 部分农民存有多余的有机产品, 而市内的消费者却不知道如何享用到天然食物. 我的设想是在当地农贸集会上进行一些试验, 让消费者即可以支持当地农民, 又能了解到市场上有哪些选择, 以及怎么成为一名负责任的城市消费者.

移动花园和日历餐厅也可以作为我们的起点, 进一步促进农民与消费者之间的交流, 鼓励双方建立关系, 例如, 我们会邀请当地种植天然、有机食物的农民们参加资讯分享, 并交流有关宣传, 包装, 运输等方面的经验. 我们的小店也可以作为短期的销售点, 农民可以在店里寄卖蔬菜作为练习. 同时我们还在考虑如何在农民与艺术家之间产生有关农业和食物的对话.

Park (in which the sounds we make in public are both expressions of ideology and good for the body)

—
Calling (in which the sound of advertisement forms a fabric that envelops us)

—
Dongfanghong 1 (in which the sound of the bell at the Beijing Railway Station reveals a story of our relation to the voice of authority)

—
Dongfanghong 2 (in which the voice of authority is found to be composed of echoes)

—
Music (in which we are introduced to the workers who live on their downtown work site)

The audio drama “Sound Research of China” (Michael EDDY, KANG He, 李增辉 LI Zenghui) is composed of episodes from ongoing research into the makeup of the sound environment of Beijing. The process consisted of many outings as a group into the streets of Beijing and following and questioning the sounds that we identified as “characteristic” of life in China, and of the relation of sound to life there. Working as a unit of three “specialists,” each of our backgrounds informing our manner of recording, analyzing and editing the source materials, we pursued the sounds in various ways to see how they might compose their own narrative and drama.

“Sound Research of China” was a component of Vitamin Creative Space‘s participation and resulting in the installation in the “Structural Integrity” project in Melbourne’s Meat Market for the Next Wave festival. For further documentation, please check here.

HomeShop’s friends at Instant Hutong, just a few streets down at Mao’er Hutong, are hosting an audience-participation-encouraged-happening-event at their courtyard this Sunday from 4 pm. Drop by if you can, it’s intimacy for extremists!

家作坊的朋友”胡同瞬间“很诚挚的邀请您参加负载能力活动。该活动举办时间为6月6日从下午四点开始，活动地点在帽儿胡同我们的院子内。活动中，胡同瞬间将使用一间传统北京平房作为极限挑战地。在挤压情况下，30平米的房子能装下多少人？如果他们能召集到200名参与者，该活动就能成功。因此，请大家广泛宣传他们的活动，以便有兴趣的人都能来参加。

这项活动将持续约1小时,将要求所有与会者的积极参与.

地址 address: 北京市东城区南锣鼓巷帽儿胡同14号  /  no.14, Mao’er Hutong, NanLuoGuXiang, Dongcheng District

After a prolonged research and analysis period highly implicated by HomeShop’s recent search for a new space, our newfound expertise has led to the temporary return of the current space at Xiaojingchang hutong to its former status as real estate agency (pre-2007 era). We are pleased to inform you that we are taking up a new role as an offshoot office of the well-known chain 我爱我家 Wo Ai Wo Jia (“I Love My Home”), henceforth named 我爱你家 Wo Ai Ni Jia (“I Love Your Home”). If you are looking for a new house or office within Beijing’s old city centre or are merely interested to learn more about the real estate market and private life in the capital, our multilingual agents can offer free advice and direction regarding a selection of some of Beijing’s hottest properties. We do not take commission, and while our services may be limited, our knowledge is vast. Please stop by HomeShop or telephone to make an appointment. You may reach us at any time by mobile phone at 137 1855 6089.

Thank you! We are here waiting for your trust!
