墨方五年，48场展览（其中43次个展，5档群展），92位艺术家和策展人的工作，聚沙成塔，时光却也如沙流逝。

2015年7月酷暑中，墨方前身Mo Projects以群展“所为何事”为题开幕。五年间，带着蹒跚反复的步履，两易其名，辗转腾挪，进一步，退半步，观察和感悟，也是实验、认知和把脉自我的过程，所为何事？是从未停息的追问。

机构如人，要真实的性格，诚惶诚恐，寻寻觅觅，这样的过程，即是无尽的排练[1]，绝迹易，无行地[2]难。

五年间，自然生长，墨方的性与格，慢慢清晰起来，确定起来，有了一些不偏不易的价值。譬如，不标榜，不定位，守静慎独，不趋时流，开放，包容，保持生命力，脚踏实地的温度，活着，让艺术持续发生。

对于每个将生命献祭给艺术的人来说，创作是无尽的孤独和苦难的旅程，决然无悔，想触摸心中的圣像，便不得不承受自身的孑然，无时无地的虚空。

于无声处，劳作而等待。

注：

1. “无尽的排练”，墨方2018年群展

Over the last five years, Mocube presented 48 art exhibitions (43 solo shows and 5 group shows) , the work of 92 artists and curators. As sand gathers into a pagoda, the time has slipped off our hands like sand.  

In July 2015, the middle of summer, the former incarnation of Mocube, Mo Project presented the group exhibition, What for, that opened our endeavor. Over the five years, with plodding and repeated steps, two changes of name, turning and tossing, making one step forward and one back, observing and realizing, and we have our finger on the pause while we experiment and learn. "What for?" has been the question we never ceased to interrogate.

An art institution is like an individual, it has an actual personality, it can be fearful, and it searches and discovers. This process is both the infinite rehearsal[1], quickly extinct, and strenuous without leaving any trace[2].

In the last five years, it has grown naturally. The nature and character of Mocube have gradually become clear and defined, which embody unbiased values. It neither boasts nor stays stagnant; it observes in quietude and prudence; it does not follow trends but remains open, inclusive, and energetic; it radiates a passion for art with its feet on the ground. It stays alive to continue representing of art practices.

For those who have dedicated their lives to art, practicing art can be an infinitely lonely and arduous journey. Yet, without any regret, they desire to reach the sacred in their hearts, for which they invariably bear solitude and a ubiquitous void. 

Work and wait in silence.
