远山淡景与体认欧亚丨剩余空间公共项目
剩余空间将于2018年12月22日举办刘雨佳新片《远山淡景》的放映，并邀请策展人由宓（现任科隆媒体艺术学院助理教授）就其一直以来的研究课题“体认欧亚”与刘雨佳进行主题对谈。
“体认欧亚”这个项目是由宓与Binna Choi(Casco Art Institute: Working for the Commons)合作长期研究和策展的项目。 “体认欧亚”采取的是一种流动的方式，在旅行的过程中会不断发生变化。在一种运动的状态中，与其他类型的运动、设施、资源和文化的邂逅、研究、发现和推测会在集体的形式中产生。对欧亚一词的使用进行探索，从俄罗斯欧亚主义的历史流派和现行流派到丝绸之路丰富多彩的想象，探讨游牧宇宙论的历史、人种学和考古学，同时也涉及当代社会和艺术实践。欧亚大陆作为研究的母体，开辟了更广阔的社会，套用法国无政府主义者和地理学家埃利泽·何可律的话，人类的集体自我意识如何与地球本身形成一个整体?
关于影片《远山淡景》
刘雨佳近期的计划都与中国的“边疆”，与少数民族地区相关。她往往进行长时间的调研工作，在当地与不同人群进行接触，以从中获取灵感。在其刚完成的作品《远山淡景》（2018）中，我们透过Chantal Akerman式的长镜头，以一种极度安静的方式观察了一位当地女性的生活。这种方式造成了一种介于虚构与纪录之间的状态：我们貌似看到了这位身份特殊的女性生活的全部细节，但又被遮蔽于她神秘的过去之外；或者说，女主人公仿佛是“活着的证物”，而我们正在目睹那段历史的遗存与逐渐消逝。影片中的空间需要特别注意，它们往往构成彼此冲突的关系：安静的生活空间与喧闹的展示空间，单色调的戈壁与色彩丰富的室内，民族化的装饰与公共空间（台球厅）的去地域化。这种空间冲突形成了这部极为沉静的电影的节奏变化，提示着时间在此的多重性。

关于刘雨佳
1981年出生于四川，2004年毕业于四川美术学院，2009年硕士毕业于伦敦艺术大学传媒学院。目前工作、生活于北京。刘雨佳的近期创作主要通过影像来探索记录性现实与虚构的辩证张力。艺术家通常使用纪录片的手法来拍摄“真实生活”的场 面，但同时又使用虚构或“虚假”形象来描绘“真实生活”的隐私时刻。这产生出记录与虚构之间的一种怪异重叠:人物仿佛是 在“表演自己”。她近期的影像作品使我们洞察到社会现实本身的虚构与幻象层面—即将现实本身体验为一种虚构。
她近期的个人展览包括《海滩》，当代唐人艺术中心，北京, 2017；《眩晕》，当代唐人艺术中心，北京, 2016；《第三人》，沪申画廊，上海，2015。她近期参加的群展主要包括《新冶金者》，JULIA STOSCHEK COLLECTION，杜塞尔多夫，德国，2018；《超自然》，白兔美术馆，悉尼，澳大利，2018；《后自然：UCCA沙丘美术馆开幕展》，UCCA沙丘美术馆，北戴河，中国，2018；《海的异托邦》，CFCCA，曼彻斯特，英国，2018；《疆域—地缘的拓扑》，OCAT上海馆，上海，2017；《你的自拍杆—连州国际摄影年展》，连州摄影博物馆，连州，2017；《何不再问？—第11届上海双年展》，上海当代艺术博物馆，上海，2016。

Surplus Space will host a flim screening of Liu Yujia's new work "The Pale View of Hills " on December 22, 2018, and the curator You Mi(currently working as academic staff at Academy of Media Arts Cologne) will be invited to have a conversation with Liu Yujia on her long-term research of "Unmapping Eurasia".
"Unmapping Eurasia" is a research and curatorial project under You Mi with Binna Choi(Casco Art Institute: Working for the Commons). Taking an itinerant approach, Unmapping Eurasia evolves as it travels, in ‘movements’, where encounters, studies, discoveries, and speculation over other kinds of movements, institutions, infrastructures, resources, and cultures will take place in collective forms. We (un)map the uses of the term Eurasia, ranging from the historical and present-day schools of Russian Eurasianism to the variegated imaginations of the silk road. And we probe into history, ethnography and archeology of nomadic cosmologies while making connections to contemporary social and artistic practices. All the while, we try to counteract the tendency of exoticisation, be it in the old forms of orientalism and self-orientalisation, or in the new wave of techno-orientalism. Above all, we take Eurasia not just as the matrix of study, but also as the very ethics of studying it. Inspired by Eurasian thinkers and practitioners before us, we embark on physical and metaphysical journeys through Eurasia to explore variations of modes of practices pertaining to Eurasia and also opens up to the wider society, or to paraphrase French anarchist-geographer Élisée Reclus, how can humanity’s collective self-awareness form one body with the planet itself?
About Film <THE PALE VIEW OF HILLS>
LIU Yujia’s latest projects are all related to the “borders” and the regions inhabited by the ethnic minority groups. She often gets her inspiration from conducting long-term research and coming into contact with various people in these areas. In her latest work, THE PALE VIEW OF HILLS (2018), we observe in extreme quietnesss the life of a local woman, through the kind of long takes typical of Chantal Akerman. This approach generates a middle ground between fiction and documentation: we seem to be seeing all the details of this particular woman’s life, but in the meantime her mysterious past is shadowed from us; in other words, the protagonist appears to be “living evidence” and we are witnessing the remains of her history and how it gradually dissolves. The spaces in the film are worthy of particular heed, since they often constitute conflicting relationships: quiet living spaces are contrasted with bustling display spaces, the monochromatic Gobi Desert with polychromatic interiors, and ethnic decor with delocalized public spaces (such as the billiards room and the dance hall). These spatial conflicts compose the rhythm of this extremely quiet video, and suggest a perturbated multiplicity of time here.

About Liu Yujia
Liu Yujia was born in Sichuan Province in 1981. She graduated from Sichuan Fine Arts Institute in 2004 and got her master’s degree in London College of Communication, University of the Arts London in 2009. She currently lives and works in Beijing.Liu Yujia’s recent practice engages with moving image. Her video and films explore the dialectical tension between the documentary reality and fiction, examining the complex and mysterious dimension of subjective experience in different social and political context. Artist shoots the ‘real life’ scenes in a documentary way, meanwhile the privacy and invisible dimension of ‘real life’ could be revealed by her fictional or ‘take’ figures. In this way, she displays a paradox overlap of documentary and fiction－the figures are as if ‘performing themselves’，as J·Bentham puts it，they are the images of themselves. Her recent practice reveals the fictional and illusory aspects of social reality, allowing the audience to experience the reality as a pure fiction.
Her recent solo exhibitions include The Beach, A Fantasy, Tang contemporary art, Beijing, 2017; Vertigo, Tang contemporary art, Beijing, 2016; The Third Man, Shanghai Gallery of Art, Shanghai, 2015; Her recent group shows mainly include New Metallurgists, Julia Stoschek Collection, Dusseldorf, Germany, 2018; After Nature, UCCA DUNE Art Museum, Beidaihe, 2018; Aquatopia, CFCCA, Manchester, UK, 2018; Frontier: Re-assessment of Post- Globalizational Politics, OCAT，Shanghai, 2017; Your Selfie Stick (and You)，Lianzhou Photo Museum，Lianzhou, 2017; Why Not Ask Again? -11th Shanghai Biennale, PSA, Shanghai, 2016,etc.
