《小城春天的12个瞬间》
展览前言
小城之春展览，始于由三联人文城市联合策展人崔灿灿展开的城市项目。亦如《小城之春》电影的名字和它所寄托的情感，小城中“城春草木深”和动人的爱情故事，激发了我们的想象和希望。
在过去几十年高速流动的城市化中，大城市成为城市叙事的主角。大城市向全世界开放，与全球化接轨，但也主动被动地剥离了本地化和独特性，裹挟于其中的每个人变成一座座孤岛。与此同时，城市与乡村的天然联系被切断了。传统乡土共同体，成为难以回归的文化乡愁，无异于“失乐园”再现。
而在中国城市金字塔中，位于塔尖大城市与塔基的乡村之间，还有层层叠叠的卫星城、三四线城市、小县城，却被有意无意地忽视了。其实，这些参差多态的中小城市承载着更广泛的时代变革，它们是否可以成为一种重新建立城乡连续体的纽带？
“小城之春”将目光聚焦于中国众多小城的变迁。在本次展览中，我们邀请到14位共创人——音乐人陈鸿宇、艺术家葛宇路、设计师黄扬、建筑师李涵、艺术家李青、艺术家厉槟源、建筑师与艺术家梁琛、设计师刘钊、导演陆庆屹、艺术家文那、建筑师吴林寿、音乐人小河、作家颜歌，以及艺术家张晓。他们进入自己或他人故乡的小城之中，从城中心的标志物、街边的广告牌、角落的公园、一事一物、一草一木入手，呈现对于小城的全新理解和叙述。
在记忆里的小城里，我们爬上它的树，在它的坡道上骑自行车，在它的小河里游泳，不在意它的粗糙和丑陋。在那里，个人更容易拥有小圈子里的亲密关系，生活更加具体，更有温度。在那里，饮食依循传统，方言经久不变，保留着更加差异化、多样性的城市景观。
展览里的这些小城故事发生于内蒙古的额尔古纳、广东的湛江、山东的烟台、辽宁的丹东、湖南的永州、浙江的湖州、贵州的罗甸、福建的泉州、河北的邯郸、四川的内江、古蔺、郫县、北京边缘的平谷、燕郊……它们相距如此遥远，情感却又如此贴近。因为，这种故乡感、地方性，不是基于某个小城的独特体验，而是一种普世价值观。
不是每个人都出生于小城，但每个人内心都有一座小城。

关于共创人
陈鸿宇
陈鸿宇，独立音乐人，1989年出生于内蒙古额尔古纳市，2015年创办了音乐厂牌“众乐纪”，同年推出现场级单曲《理想三旬》，掀起诗意民谣热。2017年荣获首届唱工委CMA 年度最佳新人奖、最佳民谣专辑奖；华语金曲奖 年度最佳国语男新人提名；2018入榜福布斯中国 30位30岁以下精英榜。作为音乐唱片主理人，陈鸿宇带领众乐纪每年推出一张音乐合辑，并进行跨界艺术合作及演出，让音乐链接众物。同时他成立了另一艺术建筑项目——众方纪，在家乡无垠的草原上放入一座建筑，以“孤独”的方式讨论与人、与物、与己的关系。2021年，新厂牌做梦唱片成立，在音乐风格上陈鸿宇也开启更多探索。
出生于内蒙边境小城额尔古纳、如今生活在北京的独立音乐人陈鸿宇，一直在尝试探寻自己与故乡额尔古纳更深层的情感联结。从“重拾故乡”到“众方纪”，通过音乐在都市与小城之间牵起了一条纽带，并在家乡草原上建起了一处精神自留地。他还将目光投射到更多小城，让更多人找回关于家乡孤独的安全感。
Chen Hongyu is an indie musician born in Ergun, Inner Mongolia in 1989. He founded the music label, Enjoy Music Together, in 2015, and his newly-released live single, Youth Soon To Expire, started a nationwide craze for the folk song in the same year. In 2017, he was awarded the Best New Artist and the Best Folk Album at the first CMIC Music Awards and also nominated as Best Male New Artist of the Year at the Chinese Music Awards; in 2018, Mr. Chen was enlisted in 30 Under 30 China by Forbes. As the managing director of music records, he works with Enjoy Music Together to release a music collection every year and engage in cross-boundary artistic cooperation and performance with a commitment that music can connect all things. Meanwhile, he set up another artistic architecture project, The Black Ark. By erecting a building on the boundless grassland in his hometown, he seeks to discuss his relationship with people, things, and himself in solitude. In 2021, Chen Hongyu founded the new label MAD Records to start more exploration in musical style.
The indie musician Chen Hongyu comes from Ergun, a small border city in Inner Mongolia, and now lives in Beijing. The artist has been searching for deeper emotional connections with his hometown. From Regain Hometown to The Black Ark, he turns music into the link between the city and the hometown but also tantalizes it into a retreat for mind and soul on the grassland. He also expands his focus on more small cities, letting more people rediscover the sense of security from the solitude of their hometown.
葛宇路
艺术家，1990 年出生于湖北武汉，2013 年毕业于湖北美术学院影像媒体专业，2018 年于中央美术学院获得实验艺术硕士学位，现工作、生活于环京地带。葛宇路的兴趣多集中于城市公共空间中的趣味表达，试图通过作品调侃生活中隐藏的矛盾。他用自身对公共空间进入介入和协商，企图从中制造新的动态关系。他的个展曾在北京公社和广州扉美术馆举办。他近期参与的部分展览包括 “From Luther to Twitter. Media and the Public Sphere”, 德国历史博物馆，柏林，德国(2020); “情的时代”爱知三年展，日本名古屋(2019); “无界艺术季”，扉美术馆，中国广州(2018); “家的变迁”，金泽 21 世纪美术馆，日本金泽(2018);中国当代艺术年鉴展，民生美术馆，中国北京(2018);“应力场” 第四届美术文献展，湖北美术馆，中国武汉(2017); “抗体—新视觉艺术节 2017”，华美术馆，中国深圳(2017);CAFAM 双年展—空间协商，中央美术学院美术馆，中国北京(2016)等。
/ 燕郊，是初到北京的葛宇路为生活所迫的选择，也是他创造生涯的起点。边界地带的野蛮与自由，跨城生活的不确定与疫情下的荒诞，形成这片独特飞地中的自然生态。燕郊承载的不仅是葛宇路最初的北京生活，也是这个时代下大城市发展与小城市未来的碰撞与对话。
The artist Ge Yulu (b. 1990, Wuhan) graduated from the Media Art Department of the Hubei Institute of Fine Arts in 2013, and received an M.F.A. from the Experimental Art Department at the Central Academy of Fine Arts in 2018. He now lives and works on the outskirts of Beijing. Ge Yulu’s interests lie in the witty expressions in public urban spaces. Through his art, Ge Yulu strives to mock up the hidden paradox in life. By intervening and negotiating with the public space using his body, Ge Yulu aims to create new dynamic relationships. He held solo exhibitions at Beijing Commune, Beijing, and Fei Art Museum, Guangzhou. His recent group exhibitions include From Luther to Twitter. Media and the Public Sphere at Deutsches Historisches Museum, Berlin, Germany in 2020; Aichi Triennale 2019 -- Taming Y/Our Passion at Nagoya, Japan in 2019; the 1st Borderless Art Season in 2018 at Fei Art Museum, Guangzhou, China; Altering Home at 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art at Kanazawa, Japan in 2018; the Exhibition of Annual of Contemporary Art of China at Beijing Minsheng Art Museum, Beijing, China in 2018; Stress Field: the 4th Documentary Exhibition of Fine Arts at Hubei Art Museum, Wuhan, China in 2017; Antibody Fresh Vision 2017 at OCT Loft, Shenzhen, China in 2017; CAFAM Biennial: Negotiating Space at CAFA Museum, Beijing, China in 2016, etc.
Ge Yulu had to live in Yanjiao due to financial necessity when he first came to Beijing. It is on the outskirts of Beijing that he started his career. The wild and free boundary, the uncertain intercity life, and absurd pandemic practices enrich the natural ecosystem of this unique enclave. Yanjiao witnesses the time when Mr. Ge spends his first few years in Beijing, but also the collision and dialogue between the development of big cities and the future of small cities in this era.
黄扬
huangyangdesign创办人兼创意总监；seeyoutomorrow艺术组合成员；作品曾获国际艺术图书出版社Taschen出版的《同时代的平面设计师》介绍；曾担任“平面设计在中国”GDC2013评审、深港城市／建筑双城双年展2015龙岗分展场影像单元联合策展人、坂雪岗科技城城市VI设计2018年国际竞赛评审；现工作生活于深圳。
黄扬设计了八幅海报，以此表达他对故乡小城四川古蔺县及内江市的情感与记忆，他用最简单的图形语言讲述故乡记忆里几个重要的时间、地点、人物、事件或事物。黄扬目前长期生活和工作于深圳，与故乡处于物理上的隔离和精神上的隔离，这样的现实和困境也激发艺术家以最简单的平面设计讲述最饱含情感浓度和现实意义的故乡主题。
As the founder and creative director of huangyangdesign, Huang Yang is also a member of an artistic group seeyoutomorrow. His works have been introduced in Contemporary Graphic Design published by Taschen; Huang served as a judge for 2013 Graphic Design in China and for 2018 Ban Xue Gang High-Tech Zone Urban Core Area Quality Improvement International Design Competition (Visual Identity), as well as a joint curator of the image unit in The 2015 Bi-City Biennale of Urbanism\Architecture.
Huang Yang designs eight posters to express his emotions and memories of his hometown - Gulin County and Neijiang, both in Sichuan. His simplest graphic language highlights a few significant moments, locations, people, and objects in the memory of his hometown. Huang Yang has long lived and worked in Shenzhen, and is physically and spiritually separated from his hometown. It is the reality and dilemma that inspires the artist to convey the theme of hometown with the most emotion and relevance in the abstract graphic designs.
厉槟源

梁琛
建筑师，艺术家。1987年生于辽宁丹东，2011年毕业于吉林建筑工程学院，获建筑学学士。2011—2015年工作于直向建筑，任理事，作为项目建筑师完成阿那亚三联海边图书馆（“孤独图书馆”）。2017年开始独立建筑与艺术实践，成立工作室阿莱夫时空研究所（www.aleph-liangchen.com），建筑代表作品：众方纪；曾在A4美术馆，外交公寓12号举办个展；曾策划展览：《从安东到丹东》，北京山中天艺术中心、《空间规训》，上海OCAT。
梁琛多年来对故乡小城丹东进行长时段和多时段的观察研究。他将东北城市变迁、丹东空间史与家庭空间变化进行时空串联，在家乡研究与自我分析中层层推进，唤醒童年的物质与空间记忆，构建起创作的起点和源泉。同时，以位于边境的故乡研究为起点，梁琛基于近年来在丹东、额尔古纳、新疆等地丰富的地方文化研究和实践，发起了以艺术、建筑、人类学等跨学科研究为基础的“边界计划”。聚焦边境的知识生产交换，试图重估或解码我们习以为常的空间和文化边界。
Liang Chen, an architect and artist. Born in Dandong, Liaoning, China, in 1987. He graduated with a degree of Bachelor of Architecture from Jilin Jianzhu University. From 2011 to 2015, as former associate and senior project architect at Vector Architects, Liang completed projects including Aranya Seashore Library (also known as "Lonely Library"). In 2017, Liang established his independent architecture and art studio Aleph-Liangchen. His representative architecture projects include Singer House.

Over the years, Liang Chen has conducted long and multi-temporal observations and research on his hometown Dandong. He connects the urban changes in Northeast China, the spatial history of Dandong, and the spatial changes of his family home, advancing in layers of hometown research and self-analysis, awakening the material and spatial memories of his childhood, and building up the starting point and source of his creation. At the same time, based on the rich local cultural research and practice in Dandong, Erguna, and Xinjiang in recent years, Liang Chen initiated the "Border Project" based on interdisciplinary research in art, architecture, and anthropology. Focusing on the exchange of knowledge production at the border, he tries to reevaluate or decode the spatial and cultural borders we take for granted.
李涵
李涵，绘造社创始合伙人，国家一级注册建筑师，毕业于中央美术学院和皇家墨尔本理工大学，从事建筑绘画、城市研究与建筑设计工作。著有城市绘本《一点儿北京》《一点儿北京·大栅栏》《胡同蘑菇》。作品受邀参加威尼斯建筑双年展中国馆和日本馆、深港城市\建筑双城双年展、挪威Architecture in Comic-Strip Form等重要展览，获得2018年WAF国际建筑制图奖全场优胜奖及【数字】类别优胜奖和2016年英国RIBA Journal Eye Line建筑绘画竞赛奖项，并被旧金山现代艺术博物馆和深圳坪山美术馆永久收藏。
李涵是北京人，并没有在小城市生活过，但他想以一种访客的身份来体验小城市。他随机选了北京周边的平谷，并不是因为它有多特殊，而正是因为它非常普通。他想用外来者新鲜的、锐利的眼光去看待那些普通的事物，那些日常的角落，从中来体验发掘平常中的闪光点，然后再用建筑师特有的方式——模型来记录。他觉得，越是普通的风景、日常的点滴，反而是更能触动人心灵的、更持久的美好，让人缓慢而坚定地重新体味生活。
Li Han is the Founding Partner of Drawing Architecture Studio and the Class 1 Registered Architect (P.R.C.). After graduatingd from the Central Academy of Fine Arts and RMIT University, he has accumulated massive practices in the architectural drawings, urban studies and architecture design. He is the author of A Little Bit of Beijing, A Little Bit of Beijing · Dashilar, and Hutong Mushroom. His works have been exhibited widely, including the Chinese Pavilion and Japan Pavilion of the 16th Venice Architecture Biennale, the 7th Shenzhen / Hong Kong Bi-City Biennale of Urbanism / Architecture, and Architecture in Comic-Strip Form in Oslo. He was the Overall and Digital Category winners of 2018 WAF Architecture Drawing Prize and won Second Place at 2016 RIBA Journal Eye Line Drawing Competition. His works are among the permanent collections of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and Shenzhen Pingshan Art Museum.
Being a Beijinger, Li Han has never lived in a small town, but he wants to experience a small city as a visitor. He randomly chooses Pinggu Village around Beijing, not because of how special it is, but because it is extremely ordinary. He prefers to view the ordinary things and corners of daily lives with the fresh probing eyes as outsiders. The artist records the salient points of daily routines he experienced and discovered with the model as a architect does. In his conclusion, unexceptional sights and the everyday situation touch people more and last longer and people are thus encouraged to slowly and firmly appreciate everything in life.
李青
李青，1981年出生于浙江湖州，现工作生活于杭州、上海。他曾在上海Prada基金会荣宅、马德里Tomás y Valiente艺术中心、首尔阿拉里奥美术馆、澳门东方基金会、浙江美术馆、上海歌德开放空间等机构举办个展，并于2017年入选法国Jean-Francois Prat奖。他的作品往往在相似性和矛盾中寻找理性的裂隙，通过迂回重叠的结构作用于观者的感觉和认知。近年来的创作检验图像、语言、符号系统和社会空间之间的张力与矛盾，串联起多层次的经验要素，并从中调和出具备冲突性结构的新的叙事界面。
进入21世纪，住在李青家乡浙江湖州外围的郊区农民，开始根据他们对现代化建筑的理解建造独立住宅，从传统和国际建筑中自由地汲取元素进行设计。这些奇异房屋体现了中国民间在一个经济发展和消费主义时期对想象中富足生活的美学判断，杂糅而山寨的风格体现了全球化在中国的知识传播和信息分享的在地状态。如今，原有郊区村落被割裂成碎片，这些民宅也已日渐稀少。他希望通过创作重新审视这一野生的现代主义建筑实践和民间审美的价值。
Li Qing was born in Huzhou, Zhejiang in 1981. He lives and works in Hangzhou and Shanghai. He has had solo shows at Fondazione Prada’s Rongzhai, Shanghai; Tomás y Valiente Art Centre, Madrid; Arario Museum, Seoul; The Orient Foundation, Macao; Zhejiang Art Museum; Goethe Institute, Shanghai; among others. Li is shortlisted for the Jean-François Prat Prize in 2017. His works seek rational rifts in similarity and contradiction, acting on the perception and acknowledgment of a viewer through circuitous and overlapped structures. In recent years, his works are testing the tension and contradiction between image, language, symbol and social space, connecting the multi-level elements of experience in series to construct a conflict structure.
In the 21st century, farmers who live around the suburb of Huzhou, Zhejiang - where Li Qing comes - began to build detached houses as they understand modern architecture, and freely took design inspirations from traditional and international architecture. These bizarre houses reflect the aesthetic judgment of Chinese people on the imaginary prosperity at the period of economic development and consumerism, while the knock-off hybrid manifests how the knowledge and information brought by globalization are locally spread and shared in China. Now, the former suburban villages have been split into pieces, and these housing compounds grow scarcer. Li Qing seeks to re-examine the value of this raw modern architectural practice and the aesthetics of common people through his creation.

在小城市里，城市招牌上的字体总是能带给人意外和惊喜，它们看似不经意的随机组合，却将一个地方的文化、生活、语言等元素通过文字映入城市画面里。我故意将文字进行拆解，并用正常的文字替换偏旁部首，以此还原小城市里的一道道特别的城市招牌风景。
Liu Zhao，another design founder & Creative Director，Alliance Graphique Internationale (AGI) member，Vice Chairman of Shenzhen Graphic Design Association，lives and works in Guangzhou.

In small cities, the fonts on city signboards can always bring unexpected surprises. Through seemingly random combinations, the texts project local culture, life, and language into the city image. I deliberately disassembled the characters and replaced components with normal text to reinvigorate the urban landscape.
陆庆屹
1973年出生于贵州独山县麻尾镇，15岁离开家乡到北京生活。资深北漂，做过足球运动员、酒吧歌手、出版社编辑、矿工、摄影师等多种职业，现在是个纪录片导演，致⼒于摄影及影像⽅⾯的⾃由创作。2018年一个人完成了纪录长片《四个春天》，获first影展最佳纪录片，入围金马奖最佳纪录片及最佳剪辑两项提名。
在北京生活了33年的陆庆屹，始终没什么归属感。无论他关注的人事物，还是他向往的生活状态，都离不开故乡。尤其是祖辈生活的贵州罗甸，成了他的精神归处。当年，《四个春天》记录下的家庭日常点滴，以及黔南地区风土人情，令无数人动容。如今，他将镜头由独山转向罗甸，由个人小家庭转向宗族大家庭，透过自然环境、民族文化、家族生活等细节的记录，将令人向往的小城生活图景娓娓道来。以人的故事描绘地方的故事，挖掘小城平静生活中的审美与价值。
Lu Qingyi was born in Mawei Town, Dushan County, Guizhou in 1973 but he left his hometown and lived in Beijing at the age of 15. As a migrant in Beijing, he used to a football player, a pub singer, a editor in publishing house, a miner and a photographer. He is now a documentary filmmaker dedicated to photography and film creation. The documentary feature Four Springs he completed alone in 2018 was awarded the Best Documentary Feature of the FIRST International Film Festival, and was shortlisted for the Best Documentary Feature and Best Film Editing of the Golden Horse Award.
After 33 years in Beijing, Lu Qingyi still feels rootless. Hometown has been the focus whether in the people and things he interested, or the lives he fancies. In particular, the Luodian County in Guizhou where his grandparents settled becomes his spiritual home. In the documentary feature Four Springs, the daily family experiences and the local people and scenery in South Guizhou impressed many viewers. Now, he turns the camera footage from Dushan County to Luodian County and also from a smaller family to a larger clan. By recording natural environment, ethnic culture, family life and other details, he takes us on the desirable picture of living in a small city. Unfolding the stories of local areas in stories about local people, Lu Qingyi tries to discover the aesthetic and value in the quiet life at the town.
小河
何萍所与田巧云的第三个儿子，美好药店乐队主唱，「音乐肖像」、「回响行动」、「寻谣计划」 发起人。
/小河出生长大在邯郸。2021年，他和他的寻谣团队从邯郸开始，经晋城、洛阳、三门峡、西安、延安、最后抵达银川，完成了历时一个多月的“陆上寻谣”。在地理环境的流变中，许多老人唱出了深藏在记忆中的童谣，里面蕴含着一座城市背后的乡土、生活与人情。小河将音乐比作一条通道，在这条通道中，可以看见城市中那些被忽视的角落，那些被淡忘的记忆，可以遇见旧友与新朋。
Xiao He always describes himself as the third son of He Pingsuo and Tian Qiaoyun. He is actually the lead vocalist of Glamorous Pharmacy Band, and the founder of the Music Portrait Program, Echo Action, and Nursery Rhyme Program.
/Xiaohe was born and raised in Handan. In 2021, he and his team started in Handan, crossed Jincheng, Luoyang, Sanmenxia, Xi'an, and Yan'an, and landed up in Yinchuan, completing the tour of nursery rhyme hunting in over one month. In different geographical locations, many old-timers sang nursery rhymes lying deep in their memories, which implied the raw essence, community life, and human ethos behind those cities. Xiao He compares music to a passage where you can see the neglected corners, feel the faint remembrance, and most importantly, meet old friends and make new ones.
吴林寿
WAU建筑事务所主持建筑师，本科毕业于华南理工大学大学，于巴黎拉维莱特建筑学院和格勒诺布尔城市规划学院取得硕士学位，2018获得中国建筑协会青年建筑师奖。曾参与中国设计大展、深圳香港城市建筑双城双年展、法国Saint-Etienne 国际设计双年展等重要展览并获得国内外多家刊物、书籍及媒体报道。其作品获得Chicago Athenaeum国际建筑奖、WA中国建筑奖等奖项，并被关山月美术馆收藏。
/ 房子，是关于家的重要象征，尤其在小城。中国小城的自建房，一直生长在“风水”及“习俗”的规范约束下。吴林寿在故乡小城湛江帮父母设计了住房，在这过程中，他不断探究着湛江民居“规范”形成和变迁，同时试图寻找该建筑类型的当代性。
Wu Linshou, Founding Principal of WAU Design, won the Young Architect Award from China Construction Industry Association in 2018 after graduating from the South China University of Technology with a bachelor's degree and receiving his master's degree from Ecole d'Architecture de Paris-la-Villette and Institut d'Urbanisme de Grenoble. As an active participant in world-renowned exhibitions such as the China Design Exhibition, UABB Shenzhen, and the Biennale Internationale Design Saint-Étienne, Wu has hit the headlines of various publications, books, and media, both in and abroad. His works have won multiple awards including the Chicago Athenaeum “International Architecture Award” and the WAACA, and have been collected by the Guan Shanyue Art Museum.
House is a vital emblem of home, particularly in China’s small towns, which are built under the dominance of Feng Shui and custom. Wu Linshou designs a house for his parents in Zhanjiang where his hometown is located. In this process, he keeps delving into how norms for house building form and change in Zhanjiang and tries to figure out the modernity of this building type.
文那
文那，艺术家，出生于北京，毕业于清华美院版画系本科。她曾在北京青年报社担任插图编辑，并创作大量小说、童话插图和舞台剧海报。其创作以壁画为主，借用中国绘画中的神仙造型，虚构出各种新的神仙。她作品中的形象并非复制已有的传统符号，而是将壁画所在地的用途、历史、空间，与强大想像力的相结合。文那曾受邀创作于多个国家的文化机构，包括法国里昂当代艺术博物馆（2016）、法国里昂UGC电影院（2016）、意大利阿拉香文化艺术中心（2011）、中国景德镇三宝国际陶艺村（2010-2016）等。
文那和泉州晋江梧林合作的文那艺术空间将在梧林古村落的德莫厝完成。长达两年甚至更久的创作，将她与这里的人、事、物紧密联系在一起。既是泉州古老历史与城市脉络的呈现，也是《文那经》的自然生发。在一种蓬勃和原生态的氛围中，自然而然产生的、具有强大想象力的创作，是对历史与未来、空间与时间、理想与现实的转译，同时也是在地文化和生活的另一种表述。
Wen Na, a Beijing-born artist, earned her undergraduate degree in print from the Printmaking Department of the Academy of Arts & Design at Tsinghua University. She worked as an illustrator and editor for Beijing Youth Daily and created a large number of illustrations for novels and fairy tales as well as stage show posters. Her creation is dominated by mural paintings, and she imagines various new deities by borrowing ideas from the figures of Gods in Chinese paintings. She never copies the existing traditional symbols to create images in her works; instead, she mixes the function, history, and space of the place where the mural paintings are located with wild imaginations. Wen Na has been invited to produce works for cultural institutions across many countries, including the Musée d'art contemporain de Lyon in France in 2016, the UGC Ciné Cité in France in 2016, the Alassio Culture and Art Center in Italy 2011, and the Sanbao International Ceramics Art Village in Jingdezhen, China from 2010 to 2016.
Wen Na will complete Wen Na Art Space in Democuo in association with Wulin Traditional Village, Jinjiang, Quanzhou. As it takes her two years or longer to finish the work, she is closely bounded to the people, things, and objects here. This creation presents Quanzhou's time-honored history and urban texture, but also naturally breeds Wen Na Jing (Wen Na’s Painting Collection). With vigorous and wild atmosphere, the imaginative creation which naturally happens is a translation of history and future, space and time, dream and reality, and also another expression of local culture and life.
颜歌
颜歌，小说家，1984年生于四川成都。她的中文作品包括长篇小说《我们家》《五月女王》和短篇小说集《平乐镇伤心故事集》等。她曾获华语文学传媒大奖新人奖，茅盾文学新人奖等奖项，作品被翻译成英文、法文、德文等十一国文字出版，两次获得英国笔会翻译奖，被选为2021年纽约时报年度关注图书。颜歌的英文作品发表在The New York Times，TLS等，并入选了爱尔兰国家图书奖短篇小说奖的长名单。她的首部英文短篇小说集Elsewhere将由英国Faber&Faber和美国Scribner出版社于2023年出版。
颜歌搬离故乡郫县、定居国外已经是七年前的事情。以这座城市飞速发展的速度，她无法确定记忆中的成都和现实的它还有多少相同之处。成都和郫县，颜歌的小说中被称为“永安城”和“平乐镇”的，是她笔下大多数故事发生的场景。当故乡变得越来越遥远和不可触及之时，把小说的世界修建成故乡的拟象也就成为了必然的、唯一的选择。虚构的故乡，记忆中的故乡，和现实里难以回归的故乡，相互重叠成线条模糊而色彩强烈的图景。
Yan Ge was born in Chengdu, Sichuan in 1984. As a novelist, she has authored novels The Chilli Bean Paste Clan and May Queen and published a collection of short stories called Sad Stories in Pingle Town. She was chosen as the Best New Writer by the prestigious Chinese Literature Media Prize and the Top Newcomer by the Mao Dun Literature Award, one of China's highest honorary events. Her works have been translated into English, French, German, and other eight languages. She was a two-time PEN Translates winner and was selected as the New York Times Notable Book of 2021. More than that, Yan Ge also writes in English with books published in The New York Times, and TLS and included in the winner list of Short Story of the Year - Irish Book Awards. Her first collection of short stories in English Elsewhere will come out in 2023 through Faber&Faber, UK, and Scribner Press, USA.
Yan Ge moved out of Pixian County and set up a home abroad seven years ago. As the home city of Chengdu was ballooning, she couldn’t tell how much this city would differ from the one she recalled. She set most stories in Yong'an City and Pingle Town, which are modeled on Chengdu City and Pixian County. When her hometown is increasingly out of reach, it is inevitably her only choice to simulate what the remote home will be in the world of fiction. The childhood town in different forms - whether the one unreal in the fiction or lingering in her memory, or the one to which she finds no return physically - overlaps and interweaves into a picture where lines fade away and colors stick out.
张晓
艺术家，现居成都。在2009年成为摄影艺术家之前，他曾于《重庆晨报》担任新闻摄影师。2018年，张晓获得哈佛大学罗伯特·加纳德摄影基金。张晓的《海岸线》系列曾获得法国汇丰银行摄影奖（2011）、法国才华摄影基金中国区冠军（2010）及候登科摄影奖（2009），《他们》系列则在2010年获得三影堂摄影奖大奖。其曾参与的展览包括：UCCA尤伦斯当代艺术中心的展览“2015年作为理由”和“文明：当代生活启示录”、瑞士摄影基金会“Unfamiliar Familiarities”、法国巴黎布朗利码头博物馆的“Photoquai 2015”，以及中国连州国际摄影节，中国上海摄影艺术中心等在内的多个国内外展览。
/ 在经历了《他们》和《海岸线》这样的宏观叙事之后，张晓回到故乡——山东烟台的台上村。这对他来说是一个极其重要的节点，不仅仅是地理意义上的回归，更是精神上的一种解放。在经济浪潮冲击之下，个人和城市都在变化着，疏离感越来越强烈，缺乏归属感成为一种集体困扰。回到故乡的创作，更多是关于自身的体验，记录下更多关于自身的体验，也是一个从自我向外看的过程，这样或许才能更真切、更真诚地去看到现实。
Zhang Xiao now lives in Chengdu. The artist used to work for Chongqing Morning News as a photojournalist before becoming a photographer in 2009. Zhang Xiao took a prize of Robert Gardner Fellowship in Photography at Harvard University In 2018. Coastline series won the Prix HSBC pour la Photographie in 2011, the Photographie.com in China in 2010, and the Houdenko Documentary Photography Award in 2009. Also, They series won the Three Shadows Photography Award in 2010. His previous exhibitions include The World in 2015 and Civilization: The Way We Live Now in UCCA, Beijing, Unfamiliar Families in Swiss Foundation of Photography, and Photoquai 2015 in Musée du Quai Branly, Paris. His works also were exhibited at Lianzhou FOTOin China, Shanghai Center of Photography, and other domestic and international exhibitions.
/After creating big-picture narratives such as They and Coastline, Zhang Xiao went back to his hometown in Taishang Village in Yantai, Shandong. At this vital juncture, he was geographically home and freed his mind. People and cities are changing due to the effects of economic development. The alienation is growing, and the lack of sense of belonging has become a shared problem. The photographs Zhang shot during his return to his hometown concentrate and record more on what he felt. That also witnesses the process of the inner self looking out in a way he sees the reality more authentically and genuinely.

Foreword
Hometown Spring is the city project launched by City For Humanity, an independent brand under Life Week, in association with the curator Cui Cancan. The picture where spring drowns the cities in wild grass and trees and those moving emotional stories in small towns generate more imagination and hope in a similar way as the title and emotion of the film Spring in a Small Town indicate.
Large cities have dominated the urban narrative of urbanization where the population rapidly shifts over the past several decades. When big cities open themselves to the world, align themselves with globalization, and completely immerse themselves in the modern trends of industrialization and capitalization of capitalism, they are either motivated or forced to move away from localization and uniqueness and even every city dweller becomes an island, entire of itself. In the meantime, natural connections between cities and home villages are cut off. Traditional community integrating cities and home villages turns out to be a cultural nostalgia since it’s hard for the migrants to return. That is nothing short of the paradise lost.
In the middle of the super large-sized cities and very large-sized cities at the top of China’s city pyramid and the villages at the bottom are layers of satellite cities, third and fourth-tier cities and counties which are underplayed actively or passively. In assorted forms, small and medium-sized cities witness broader changes of times in China, so can they become the bond to rebuild the urban-rural continuum?
Hometown Spring focuses on the changes in many small cities and towns in China. This exhibition is joined by 14 extraordinary creators, including Chen Hongyu (musician), Ge Yulu (artist), Huang Yang (designer), Li Han (architect), Li Qing(artist), Li Bingyuan (artist), Liang Chen (architect&artist), Liu Zhao (designer), Lu Qingyi (director), Wen Na (artist), Wu Linshou (architect), Xiao He (musician), Yan Ge (writer), and Zhang Xiao (artist). They’re inspired to adventure into their own hometowns, or small cities where others have lived to see landmarks inside the city, billboard changes on the street, and parks on the corner. With all eyes on every detail, they intend to present a new insight and narration of the stories exclusive to those communities in the all-embracing collections.
In such a hometown as remembered, we climbed its trees, rode bicycles on its cracked sidewalks, and swam in its rivers, regardless of its roughness and unsightliness. There, it is easier for individuals to build a relationship in an intimate circle. Their lives look more tangible and warm. Also there, residents eat and drink traditionally and their dialect remains unchanged and intact; more distinctive and diversified urban landscapes endure.
The exhibition extends its stories of small cities to Ergun in Inner Mongolia, Zhanjiang in Guangdong, Yantai in Shandong, Dandong in Liaoning, Yongzhou in Hunan, Huzhou in Zhejiang, Luodian in Guizhou, Jinjiang in Fujian, Handan in Hebei, Neijiang, Gulin and Pixian in Sichuan, and Pinggu and Yanjiao near Beijing, among others. Those small cities and towns are geographically distant and emotionally intimate. The sense of hometown and localism is not concluded from the unique experience in any single town; it is a universal value instead
Not everyone was born in a small town, though in every man there is a small town
