10 YEARS OF DUMB
2015年9月，dART诞生了。没人忘的了那晚舞台上的景观。那时隐时现的电路贯穿着整个空间，3D MAPPING又将空间随时带入新的画面。这最为抢眼的构建，来自BAM，几位景观设计的天才。
In September of 2015, dART was born. No one has forgotten the stage set up built for that night. The flashing circuit transmission lines that twisted around the enigmatic 3D mapping visuals created futuristic landscape. That unique structure with a special texture was designed by BAM – a team of incredibly talented geniuses.
Since then, we started this endless war with force majeure and self-contradiction.
天真的测试北京地下电音圈购票支持诚意，Fjakk演出门票采取自愿捐款——做工精细的功德箱最后只筹到2000多块；
We set a donation box instead of charging actual ticket fee for Fjakk’s show in Beijing, ended up getting only 2000RMB which hardly even the cost of the well-designed box itself；
千折百转把Boiler Room首次带到中国，上海首站前一周临时更换国际艺人——好运的是换来了Disclosure；
Got this headliner-change for the very first Boiler Room Shanghai just one week before the event start, luckily we had Disclosure came in as a sub；
再下一次的锅炉房上海站，我们把Skrillex也拉到了镜头前——可悲的是由dART两位女战士推荐的DJ Cavia被网上无聊军团举报，因无中生有的“歧视女性”演出临时取消；
For the next Boiler Room Shanghai, we secured our headliner Skrillex this time. But we never expected one of the support DJs Cavia was reported for posting these so called “Women Discrimination” photos and led to the cancellation of his show. Seriously? He was recommended by two of our women staff!
16年9月中秋，TEKNEST，鸟巢，无尽的辛酸——Jacques被法航寄丢设备行李，Dubfire飞机暴雨延误取消演出，这都不算什么，要命的是不可言说的从场地到公司到所里的江湖；
September of 2016, TEKNEST, another sad story. First Air France lost all Jacques’ luggage with his unique equipments, then Dubfire’s flight was cancelled due to heavy rainfall. Not to mention the expected time and money we had to spend on the most complicated Bird Nest "guan xi".
是的，我们蠢了两年。不过还是不比BAM那帮瓷，他们蠢了十年……
Yes, we've been dumb for two years. But still there is no comparison to those lads of BAM. It’s ten years of dumb for them.
顺带说一嘴，之前沙漠中没能建起来的焱凰赤城其实也是dART和BAM都注入了心血的。当时BAM那一堆从荒原到城市的设计，没能成为现实是一群人的痛。但蠢人总能熬过来的，心痛过了，也能拿给大家看看了。
Btw, both dART and BAM contributed to the Phoenix Burn that never came true. It's heartbroken even just to speak of those landscape designs BAM worked on to build a city on a wasteland. But I guess the dumbers survived after all, there is something we can show you with laughs now.
Designers love to represent themselves and their work as a perfect process. This kind of representation is a fabrication, a constructed façade, and an artificial reality that BAM stands in opposition to. Most architects are still constrained by the Modernist belief that the work must stand for itself. However, for BAM, the work and the projects do not represent ‘the whole picture’.
BAM最开始的时候是一群志同道合的叛逆青年，因为创造了一些装置作品差点儿被驱逐出建筑学院。在过去的十年里，BAM“just say yes”的笨蛋策略确实导致了无数错误，但最终还是造就了一堆奇怪而丰富的作品，涉及领域是不可思议的宽泛，从建筑立面、公园景观、家具、服装设计、造型蜡烛、游行花车到演出舞台。
BAM started as a group of like-minded individuals who were nearly expelled from architecture school for creating installation art. Over the past 10 years BAM’s admittedly dumb strategy of ‘just say yes’ has led to countless mistakes yet ultimately resulted in a portfolio of strange and exuberant works with a seemingly incomprehensible breadth; from the design of costumes, parades, building facades, parks, furniture, wickless hand candles to musical events.
经过这几乎追求了所有想追求的事情的十年，BAM的展览，“10 YEARS OF DUMB 愚蠢的十年”，在9月2日798 TABULA RASA画廊开展。而9月15日，BAM的朋友dART正好两岁，我们会一起举办一场生日party。从生日主人公的环境装置，到视觉艺术家Noizome的影像，从泰国归来的DJ Aida，现住北京的Boflex，还有把缥缈而深长的live痕迹布满欧洲的法籍音乐人DoughtingThomas，BAM和dART邀请你一起去回顾过去和追赶未来。
After ten years of pursuing almost anything in and around the unknown, BAM’s exhibition, 10 YEARS OF DUMB, opens on September 2nd at Tabula Rasa Gallery in 798. On September 15, BAM and their two-year-old friend dART will co-host a birthday party featuring live set from Berlin-based DoubtingThomas, Bangkok-based Aida and Beijing-based Boflex, visual artist Noizome, and of course surprise showcase of BAM. With astonishing installations, audio-visual artists and live acts, it is our chance to reflect on the past in a time and place racing to forge the future.
