眼睛不断盯向机会
—— 胡庆泰个人项目
Steadily Eyeing Opportunity
— Solo Project by Hu Qingtai
D a t e: 2020,10,21 — 11,15C5CNM荣幸地与艺术家胡庆泰合作他2020年的个人项目，眼睛不断盯向机会。展览将于10月21日下午6点开幕，并持续到11月15日。我平时喜欢关注各种新的商业经济模式，对经验之外的陌生事物充满好奇。我也注重用身体行动去实施验证自己的判断，不断将自己从一个区域抛进另一个区域，既包括认知经验上的移动，也包括身体地域位置上的搬迁。不断地尝试和探索，以构成那充满未知的新生活。此次展览中展出两组作品，纸上作品《我低价购买并高价出售，售价7999RMB》系列与录像装置《低成本通往财富的快速通道》。《低成本通往财富的快速通道》是我针对个人现实出路的追问（即，有没有一种能快速赚取财富的可行途径？）而给出的答案，自问自答。2020年，我对新兴直播经济模式进行了近一年的观察和研究，购买了头部公司的内部课件并实地考察学习，后进入电商公司实际操作五个月后得出的结论。系列作品《我低价收买并高价出售，售价7999RMB》则更为赤裸，是我对我所理解的普遍盈利模式的直接照搬和实际运用。两组作品也传达出作为个体的我对赚取财富的追求和渴望。录像作品“低成本”又暗含求贤的功能，我也希望通过作品进而找到持同样观点一拍即合的热衷于冒险和赚钱的人。我用鲜明的态度和直白的动机为大家提供了一个真实、具体、普通的个人画像。（胡庆泰）

Steadily Eyeing Opportunity
—Hu Qinghai’s Solo Project
C5CNM is pleased to announce the opening of Hu Qinghai’s solo project, Steadily Eyeing Opportunity. The show will be open from 6pm, Oct. 21 and continue to Nov. 15.
I enjoy paying attention to whatever new business modes, lead by my curiosity of unfamiliar things beyond my normal confine. It’s also important for me to test my judgements with actions, keep throwing myself from one orbit to the next, movements not just in a knowledge sense, but also geographically.
There are two groups of work in this show, “I Buy Cheap and Sell High, Sale Price 7999RMB” series and “The Low Cost Lane to Get Rich Fast”.
“The Low Cost Lane to Get Rich Fast” is my asking whether there is a way out for individuals in the present reality (Is it possible to make money fast), and rhetorically, answering my own question. I observed and researched Livestreaming platforms for nearly the entire year of 2020, bought online lessons from leading companies to study and actually worked for a E-commerce business for five months. “I Buy Cheap and Sell High, Sale Price 7999RMB” is stark-naked commerce, it is my appropriation or actualizing what I believe to be the common mode for profit.
These two group of works express my desire to pursue wealth in the society as an individual. At the same time, the video work has the function of recruitment, through this show, I hope to find someone adventurous and share the same interest in making money.
I provide for all to see, a portrait of an individual, ordinary, specific and real with clearcut attitude and straightforward motive.

Currently based in Beijing. He received his BA degree from the New Media Department at China Hubei Academy of Fine Arts in 2008. In his artworks, Hu mainly focuses on the relationships between human beings and objects, as well as those between human beings. His works put pressure on the notion of creativity that often clouds people’s understanding of artists and artworks. He works with a range of mediums, including performance, video, sculpture and painting. His works have appeared in a number of exhibitions, which include: Those who see and know all, are all and can do all, 798 Art Center, Beijing, 2020; Under the sign of the internet – connections and double meanings，CLC Gallery Venture Beijing, China , 2019; Assembling, chi K11 art space, Shenyang, China, 2018; A “Force” Spurring “Limbs” via “Head”, Gallery Yang’s Project Space, Beijing, China, 2018; Hu Qing Tai: Two Parts, Taikang Space Light Pavilion Project, Beijing, China, 2016; Peepshow, LONG MARCH SPACE, Beijing, China, 2015; HackSpace, K11ArtFoundationPop-upSpace, Hong Kong, China, 2016; Copyleft: China Appropriation Art at Power Station of Art, Shanghai, China, 2015; The Sociology of Oneself at Eslite Gallery, Taipei, 2014; The 8 of Paths at Uferhallen, Berlin, 2014; Hu QingTai Project: Brother/Li Gang/Li Liao/Jiang Bo/Yang Jian/Yang XinGuang/Zeng Hong/Zhan Rui, White Space, Beijing, China, 2013; WORLD, Yangtze River Space, Wuhan, China, 2011, among others.He was awarded the Art Sanya Huayu Youth Award Nominations in 2014; The 3th Prudential Eye awards contemporary asian art Awards nominations, etc.C5CNM是一个地处北京798艺术区的实验性艺术空间（2018年秋天完成设计，2019年春天施工，2019年4月对公众开放）。长宽4.75 x 5.25米，挑高 3.5米，它小而独特的空间比例适合艺术家将展览整体视作一件作品去构想。C5CNM的空间本身是艺术家金宁宁的作品，他的空间构想性质类似游戏场抑或舞台，同时具备强烈的个人属性与真诚的开放性。更迭的活动与空间相加形成意料之外的全新感受，从而视觉体验被给予声学的特征。空间从2019年春天开放以来，已呈现多个当代艺术展览和实验音乐演出的项目，并以“画廊airbnb”的方式与非营利机构及艺术家个体合作。我们希望对开放性的追求不止步于视觉艺术领域。C5CNM是一个可以7天24小时向公众开放的空间，来访者通过扫码发送请求索取当天的电子锁密码，获得随时进入展厅与作品相处权限。C5CNM is an experimental space located in 798 Art District in Beijing. It measures 4.75 by 5.25 meters and 3.5 meters in ceiling height. Its modest though beautiful proportions invite artists to conceive an exhibition as one singular art work. The spatial design by artist Jin Ningning is a multifaceted and transformational artwork that mixes with the different occurrences that take place within, giving visual experience also an “acoustic” complexity.Since its opening in Spring 2019 C5CNM has transitioned between exhibition space, live performance venue, and “air b-n-b gallery” for non-profits, and it is open to many more interpretations (functions). We hope this quest for unlimited freedom will attract creative individuals or collaboratives from beyond the field of visual art to produce works. We can not anticipate the forms this may take, but only look forward.C5CNM is free and open to the public 24/7. Visitors may enter the space by acquiring the electronic lock combination any time of the day or night and are welcome to spend time alone with the work.
