宋轶和静远将在顶上空间分享他们在2020年各自所做的项目,分别为《不周山》和《写母亲5》。
《不周山》由激发研究所的主理之一宋轶发起。2020年8月17日至9月1日,由数十位创作、理论、传媒方面的实践者一同前往国内7个地点(包括西宁、玉树、兰州、重庆的远郊和乡村山区,及位于珠江出海口的桂山岛等),并根据沿途不同的自然环境和社会语境,进行讨论、展示、讲述、实地考察、驻留和即兴创作,总行程超过4300公里。
《写母亲5:住在亲情中的疫情》是一本流动女工专辑,由静远组织和编辑。全书共计9万2千多字,编入了4位女工的7篇文字,以及不同身份的回应人写的4篇文章。书中还安插有十余张来自女工的绘画。整本书的生产是一个动态的、带有教育和阶层介入性质的过程,它首先包含了编者过去两年来作为数十位女工的写作、绘画老师和私人朋友与她们的互动;其次包含了这之中会涉及到的各种公益机构和基金会等。
两个项目的工作逻辑都涉及“相处”,甚至是“特定的相处”;两个项目都强调主动构建不一定本来就存在的对话语境。同时,它们也都包含了对介入的诉求,这个诉求的核心是鼓励人们跳出固有的社会关系来重新看待需求,重新理解资源;而这个诉求的合法性,则是通过各自不同的契约和情感关系来奠定。在这里,艺术时而不可替代,时而又仅仅是一个借口。
《不周山》项目预设了三个议题:族群隔阂、乡村改造、基建崇拜,希望能触及到中国社会当前保守性的几个重要面向。但是随着项目行进,这个预设不断地被瓦解,转变为其他问题。到最后已经不再是对任何具体议题的知识解读,而是形成了许多生动的情境:争锋相对、尴尬、疑惑、相见恨晚……参与的人相互之间不再被固有的社会身份框定,而是有着由这个项目引发出来的更有趣的联系。
而在《写母亲5》的积累过程中,静远几乎是在一个无人了解什么是“当代艺术家”的场域工作,大量的问题直接涌现。比如,当知识分子将目光和精力投向经济教育的水平比较低的人群时,我们怎么评价其姿态?要求写作质量的伦理基础在哪里?底层是否可以发声?而切实拆解这些问题的过程,也是她不断测试和修改自己预测的过程。是写作老师还是新的朋友,区分并不那么重要,重要的是发起人和参与者用文字关系来模拟了新的更为松弛的社会关系。

Working closely with Chinese citizens who usually are not professional writers, Jing Y. founded “Writing • Mothers” project, and has since co-produced several books of their memoirs, reflections, debates, and statements. Her films, publications, and installations embody her method of “using art and documentary approaches to create self-made citizenship” in a period of political difficulty. They add up to a unique profile of a major dynamic between the Party and the people in Chinese society today: while the Party maintains power by surrendering the dream of a communist future to capitalism in the present, the people are asked to exchange socialism for a chance at becoming rich right now.

TOP(TOP Art Space) was established in July 2016. The opportunity for the establishment of space originated from a conversation between Han Fei and Li Zhenhua, about "what to do" and "nothing to do". They finally concluded that TOP is a house of the spirit loactes on the roof of urban village. The physical space of TOP includes open kitchen, rooftop, reading room, small projection hall, conference room and other infrastructure. Through the participation of visitors, we start from their own interests to connect with TOP. As a dynamic concept, TOP will be constantly defined and stimulated in communication and dialogue.
