non-visible
a project by Asako Iwama and Derrick Wang
June 21-23
家作坊 HomeShop

The “non-visible” project has evolved from a series of video interviews with various practitioners in Europe and China with experiences or familiarity working with non-visible energy, or ‘qi’. Interviewees have included dancers, cognitive scientists, Feng Shui and I Ching masters, psychics, traditional medicine doctors and physicists. 

How can the non-visible be made visible and/or comprehensible? We would suggest that we are constantly swinging between the two poles of subjective and objective reality. Through the process of our interviews, we have attempted to find points of connection between the various practices we have encountered, while acknowledging our own groundlessness in terms of having to constantly transform our perceptions and expectations of the people we have met. 

In a film installation and series of events organized during the June solstice and under the full moon (June 21-23), we hope that some of the hidden layers contained in our interactions and recordings will become visible to or felt by those who participate, and that a new understanding of the non-visible may emerge.

Asako Iwama (born in Tokyo, Japan) is an artist and cook, who lives and works in Berlin, Germany. Asako Iwama’s practice has developed around the idea of the ontology of eating. Referring to the social aspects of eating as a metaphor of our relation to nature, Iwama seeks to transform the perception of nourishment, both aesthetically and epistemologically within her practice and work.

Derrick Wang (born in Montreal, Canada) is a second generation Chinese from Canada who has a background in architecture, and is currently working as a filmmaker in Beijing, China.

“无形”
项目发起人：岩間朝子，Derrick Wang
6月21-23日
家作坊 HomeShop

“无形（non-visible）”项目采访了许多生活在欧洲和中国的人，这些人或拥有运用无形能量（或“气”）的能力，或拥有这样的体验，他们的职业各式各样，其中包括舞者、认知科学家、风水先生、易经大师、通灵者、中医师和物理学家等等。

如何让无形的、不可见的能量可见或被理解？我们不断地在主观和客观现实的两极之间摇摆。在采访的过程中，我们试图找到这其中的共通点，然而，遇到的人不断地改变我们的看法和对他们的期望，我们也不得不承认自己的局限性。

在夏至和月满之际，我们将在6月21-23日这三日间，运用影像装置等一些列活动呈现该项目，希望我们的互动和记录中所包含的内容能让参与的人“看见”这些能量，并对其有新的认识。

周五6月21日
18:00-20:00 乐友读书会及讨论（阅读内容在此下载）
20:00-22:00 影像装置 

周六6月22日
18:00-20:00 读书会及与风水大师杜顺杰、易经大师张力壬、音语舞老师治疗师Eva Bergwall、声学和振动的物理工程师Hartmut Walter、气功大师朱峰等特邀嘉宾进行讨论
20:00-22:00 影像装置

周日6月23日
19:00 晚餐及公开讨论（有机素食，88元/人，由植村絵美和岩間朝子掌厨，请邮件预定：lianxi@homeshop.org.cn）
20:00-22:00 影像装置

岩間朝子（出生于日本东京），艺术家及厨师，生活和工作在德国柏林。岩間的实践和研究主要围绕于“吃”的本体论。鉴于“吃”作为某种社会文化现象所隐喻的人类与自然关系， 岩間旨在于美学和认识论上转换人对饮食的认知。

Derrick Wang（出生于加拿大蒙特利尔），加拿大华人第二代，拥有建筑学背景，目前作为导演在北京工作。

《高山流水》赵天汲

High Mountain, Flowing Water by ZHAO Tianji

(声音装置 / sound installation)

HomeShop recently participated in the exhibition Green Box － Remapping — The Space of Media Reality (organized by School of Intermedia Art of China Art Academy at Media City Research Center 11–29 January, 2013) with a just-in-time newspaper about the other works in the show, silkscreen-printed on-site in the exhibition space.

近期，家作坊参与了展览《绿盒子－重绘形貌－媒体现实的空间》（由中国美术学院媒体城市研究中心举办，于2013年1月11－29日展出），作品为一份关于本次展览中其他作品的即时报纸，在展览现场进行丝网印刷。

两年以来，家作坊通过报纸的形式对公共性与本地性的“内”与“外”进行持续研究，包括《黄边日报》与《北二条小报》。我们意在通过时效性媒介来发表一个具有复调空间的宣言。从时间与空间上来说，报纸的截稿时间给内容强加了一种特定的紧迫感。 

作为这些表演性新闻报道的延续，《绿盒子阜利通》将现身《绿盒子：重绘形貌-媒体现实的空间》群展，并展开探索。家作坊小分队会对其他参展者进行纪录、注解、批评，搜集大量数据、真相抑或流言，以及深入幕后的主观诠释，这些将以红墨印制，在开幕时供人取阅。在个别情况下，参展者可选择自我批判，而不是让作品任由《绿盒子阜利通》支配。最后，我们的社论不仅是指向自我的检视，渗入自身实践的诸多边界，而且是向普遍意义上的展览批评提出质询。

For the past two years, HomeShop has been investigating the ins and outs of publicness and locality through the form of newspapers, including The YellowSide Daily and Beiertiao Leaks. The intention has been to form a multi-vocal space of statement through a medium of urgency. The newspapers’ deadline forces a certain immediacy of content, in both time and place.

Greenbox Leaks is a followup on these exercises in the performance of journalism, turned toward the exploration of the context of the group exhibition in which it will appear. A team dispatched from HomeShop will document, annotate and critique the contributions by all other participants in the show, gathering meta-data, truth & rumour, and subjective interpretation into a special behind-the-scenes critical feuilleton to be printed in red ink and available for the opening. In some cases, the other participants will be offered the choice to self-critique instead of having their work subjected to the treatment of Greenbox Leaks team. Finally, our editorial comprises a self-criticism that not only infiltrates the boundaries inherent to our own undertaking, but also problematizes all future criticisms around the exhibition as a whole.

Printing past the deadline at the opening. 开幕之后的现场印刷

Fellow artist in Green Box, Liu Guoqiang, takes his criticism with admirable humour. 另一位参展艺术家刘国强带着崇拜式的幽默阅读关于他的作品的批评

The presentation also included previous editions of Beiertiao Leaks, YellowSide Daily, and 《穿》Wear journals (now available in Hangzhou while supplies last!). 展览的作品也包括前期的《北二条小报》、《黄边日报》和《穿》

Counting the hot cakes profits (1 yuan x 66 copies sold = 66 yuan!) 清点我们的收获！（1元＊66份＝66元！）

日历餐厅介绍 About Calendar Restaurant__
日 历餐 厅是在种植季节期间每月开放一次的餐厅。它始于2010年7月至10月的一个艺术项目。自 2011年种植季节起,我们希望在日常生活和植物生长的时间表（这也是日历的来历)下探索这种实践。在日历餐厅,消费者变成厨师, 从我们的田园中采摘新鲜蔬菜, 并分享各自的经验。一起做好饭后, 大家围坐在一起，还会讨论一些更复杂的话题：健康、食品安全、社会、政治、天 气、中医、老北京烹饪、食物设计和储存－当然，这些看上去严肃的讨论并不会影响我们品尝美味。2011年我们的种植场地由小毛驴农场赞助，日历餐厅由家作 坊支持、2012年我们的种植场地由 潤田農園赞助，日历餐厅由家作坊支持。
 


Calendar Restaurant is a restaurant that opens once every month during the course of the farming season. It was initiated within the context of an art project from July to October, 2010. When farming started in 2011, we simply wanted to explore this practice within the framework of daily life and timeline of vegetables’ growth (that is where the calendar originates). In this restaurant, customers become cooks, working with fresh vegetables from our garden and sharing stories of their experiences. Once food is ready we sit together at one big table to discuss complex food issues: health, food safety, social systems, politics, weather, Chinese medicine, old Beijing cooking, food design and preservation ― but not to the point of making the taste muddy! This year our farm plot is supported by Runtian Farm and the restaurant is supported by HomeShop.

《丽江工作室壁画故事》一次当代艺术在中国农村的实践
新书发布 + 艺术家对谈

Lijiang Studio Mural Stories: Contemporary Art Episodes in Rural China, book launch and talk

日期/时间 date__ 8月19日周日，晚上7点 ｜ Sunday, 19 August, 19:00
地点 location__ 家作坊 HomeShop ［地图／map］

对谈艺术家：胡嘉岷，雷磊，刘斌，刘传宏，那颖禹，汤艺，吴俊勇
“壁画项目”策划＋《丽江工作室壁画故事》主编：李丽莎
丽江工作室“新农村实验室”项目总监：正杰

本书是对非营利艺术机构丽江工作室在旅游城市丽江纳西族农村所做的一次当代艺术实践的全面记录，展现出艺术家和农民合作壁画的各种故事，用创造力试探当代艺术创作在农村的活力。

“新农村实验室”之”壁画项目”
丽江工作室2008年主持的“壁画项目”旨在参与中国社会主义新农村建设。在城市化进程加快的背景下，“新农村”一词显示了新时代的建设要求，其具体意义在农民心中各有侧重。

丽江工作室
从2005年开始，丽江工作室一直在位于中国西南边陲的云南省丽江市一个叫“吉祥村”的小村庄进行与农民日常生活互动的艺术实践。我们希望通过艺术家进驻项目创作作品，为到访艺术家和当地居民提供有益的经验。所有活动均不以营利为目的。假如你有意加入，请与我们联系：lsirlisa@gmail.com。

This book is a thorough documentation of one art project that Lijiang Studio, a not-for-profit arts organization, did in a Naxi village near the tourist city of Lijiang. It tells the story of local farmers and artists collaborating to paint murals. It is an attempt to probe the possibilities of creating contemporary art in a rural area.

New Countryside Laboratory Mural Project
The “Mural Painting Project” run by Lijiang Studio in 2008 aims to get involved in building the Chinese “New Countryside” (xin nongcun jianshe). The “New Countryside” is a term that has come up in recent years to describe the new status of rural China in the context of urban China. In our experience the specific application of the term varies greatly.

Lijiang Studio
Lijiang Studio has been making experiments relating to art and village life in this Jixiang (meaning “auspicious”) village near Lijiang, in Southwest China’s Yunnan Province, since 2005. We run an artist-in-residence program with the aim of making art that is as interesting to the visiting artist as it is to local people as it is to us. We have indulged in this in a strictly not-for-profit way. If you have any ideas you think would be interesting in our context, please contact us at lsirlisa@gmail.com.

HomeShop is again hosting our big Beijing swap meet. The purpose of the day is for you to gather everything you’ve left covered in dust in your closet and swap these things with other people who can make new use of them! Traders should bring everything from unwanted mobile phones to clothing and bicycles, and get ready to drive hard bargains. Money is no currency on this day, just bring your stuff and prepare your sharp and sparkly bargaining tongue! In addition to swapping stuff, you can also swap your skills and services, like trading babysitting time for a day’s use of a valid license plate on the right driving day, or a home-cooked meal in exchange for website design services.

享用特制的“平等交易”蛋糕和其他交换者制作的饮品，观看现场展出的不同“种子交换库”设计与设计师本人进行交流。或者观看一些短片，短片内容关于我们的消费习惯怎样导致了“垃圾社会”的产生，以及极少数尽力给旧物赋予新生命的人。第二届WaoBao！将同时带来讲座和工作坊，介绍其他关于浪费、再利用和农业循环的新观点，你可以在家进行实践，使你的生活空间更绿色！时间安排如下：

Enjoy our “fair-trade” cakes and drinks from other swappers, and while you’re here, view and cast your votes for the design of a new seed exchange container, watch a few short films about how our consumer habits have created a big trash society and the few individuals who are trying to give new life to it.  WaoBao! No. Two will also feature guest lectures and workshops to introduce other fresh ideas about the cycles of waste, reuse and agriculture that you can “re-cycle” at home! See the schedule as follows:
