记住光亮与感动，总有一天我们会触碰星辰

Beethoven - Spring

2020年无疑是艰难的一年。对于艺术家、艺术组织者和所有喜欢共同在场的观众们来说，我们集体的艺术体验被大大消减。挫败感和失望感，都是意料之中。

尽管我们仍处在全球后疫情时代的影响中，内在乐观的坚持是对抗一切的良方。我们在不断创新并提出各种新的手段，快速调整原本的工作计划。通过线上参与的模式，拉近彼此的距离，连线波兹兰艺术周、日本UnknownAsia博览会、日本ubies，阿德莱德艺穗节组委会、世界艺穗大会等国际组织及艺术家，相互交流，共同探讨疫情下的“云端”艺术模式。筹备已久的OCT-LOFT公共艺术展——余物新秩序及2020深圳湾艺穗节亦如期与大家见面，一直以来我们通过不断战胜不可能来定义自我，我们的工作实则是一个个选择和坚持的叠加。行动的意义存在于日常，艺穗透过一个个社会实践，消融大众与艺术的隔阂，打破空间与艺术的壁垒，让未知变成已知。勇于冒险和宽容错误，总有一天我们有机会触碰星辰。

2020年亦是德国作曲家路德维希·凡·贝多芬250周年诞辰，贝多芬和他的音乐所蕴含的精神力量应在大众心中，并被重新点燃。前沿艺穗艺术中心将以全新的艺术视野和使命开启2021/2022的年度工作。我们将确保所做的每一件事都能专业地呈现给观众，并继续实现机构核心目标，即是透过艺术将所有人凝聚在一起，并激励人心。

感谢每一位支持艺穗的朋友，我们期待又一个忙碌的一年。艺穗带着生机勃勃的力量，来年春再会。

2020 has certainly been a year of tough with frustration and disappointment, to artists, to art organizers, and to the audiences, as the joy of enjoying art has been largely reduced. 

Keeping optimistic is the best way to overcome difficulties under the shadow of the post-coronavirus world. We are constantly searching for new ways to present and share art. We connected and communicated with Poznan Art Week in Poland, UnknownAsia in Japan, Ubies in Japan, Adelaide Fringe Festival Organizing Committee and World Fringe Congress, etc., discussing the "cloud" art model under the coronavirus. The Oct-Loft Public Art Exhibition-Trash New Order and 2020 Shenzhen Fringe Festival were also launched on time, as we define ourselves by constantly overcoming the impossibilities and challenges, and the truth of our job is an accumulation of various choices and assistance. We aim to remove the misunderstanding between the public and art, break the barriers between space and art, as well as turns the unknown into the known, through social practices. Be brave to take risks and be tolerant for making mistakes, we will have the opportunity to touch the stars one day.

2020 is the German composer Ludwig van Beethoven’s 250th birthday. The spiritual of Beethoven and his music shall be reignited and the public shall keep the spirit in their hearts. Shenzhen Fringe Art Center will endeavor to start the work of the coming years with a new vision and mission with faith that always present our projects professionally and keep the core goals that increase cohesion and courage via art.

We feel grateful to everyone and look forward to a busy year to come as well. Meet you in 2021 with vigorous energy.

HAPPY NEW YEAR！
