This article examines the digital artworks created by three Chinese diaspora artists based in Europe: Berlin-based queer filmmaker Fan Popo’s short digital video Lerne Deutsch in meiner Küche (‘Learn German in my kitchen’), London-based performance artist Zeng Burong’s performance Non-Taster and London-based writer David K. S. Tse’s digital radio play The C Word. All three artworks were created in 2020 during the pandemic and all deal explicitly with the issues of anti-Asian racism and cross-cultural understanding. All these artworks also engage with issues of food and culinary practices. Through an analysis of the three artworks, I suggest that making digital art about food can serve as a creative and culturally sensitive strategy to engage with pandemic politics. Indeed, in an era of rising nationalism and international antagonism, diasporic Chinese artists have turned to seemingly mundane, apolitical and non-confrontational ways such as creating digital artworks about food to engage with the public about important social and political issues. This functions as a creative and culturally sensitive strategy to conduct social and political activism and to enhance cross-cultural understanding. It also showcases the political potential and social relevance of digital art for a pandemic and even a post-pandemic world.
本文考察了三位旅居欧洲的中国艺术家创作的数字艺术品:柏林酷儿电影制作人范波波的数字短片《在我的厨房里学习德语》、伦敦行为艺术家曾伯荣的表演《非品尝者》和伦敦作家谢的数字广播剧《C字》。这三件艺术品都创作于2020年疫情期间,都明确涉及反亚裔种族主义和跨文化理解问题。所有这些艺术品都涉及食物和烹饪实践的问题。通过对这三件艺术品的分析,我认为制作关于食物的数字艺术可以作为一种创造性和文化敏感的策略来参与疫情政治。事实上,在一个民族主义和国际对立加剧的时代,散居海外的中国艺术家已经转向看似平凡、非政治和非对抗的方式,比如创作关于食物的数字艺术品,与公众就重要的社会和政治问题进行交流。这是一种创造性的、对文化敏感的战略,可以开展社会和政治活动,增进跨文化理解。它还展示了数字艺术在疫情甚至疫情后世界中的政治潜力和社会相关性。

The nearby: A scope of seeing 附近:视野
IF 0.4 0 ART Pub Date : 2021-11-01 DOI: 10.1386/jcca_00042_1
B. Xiang
The world during the COVID-19 pandemic became more divided than united, both between states and among individuals. Opinions are polarized partly because, as I have observed in urban China, the public is simultaneously preoccupied by the very near (the self) and the very far (the imagined ‘world’), but neglect the space in between, and as a result fail to recognize how the social world is concretely constituted through interconnected differences. This article advocates a way of perceiving the world by taking ‘the nearby’ (fujin in Chinese) as a central scope. The nearby is a lived space where one encounters people with diverse backgrounds on a regular basis. The nearby brings different positions into one view, thus constituting a ‘scope’ of seeing. Such a scope enables nuanced understandings of reality and facilitates new social relations and actions. The nearby could form a line of resistance against the power of the state, capital and technology, that is turning local communities into units of administrative control and value extraction. This article calls for a ‘First Mile Movement’, in which artists, researchers and activists work together to help facilitate citizens with the construction of their nearby as a basis for reflecting upon life experiences, testing grand ideologies and engaging in public discussion.
新冠肺炎大流行期间,无论是国家之间还是个人之间,世界变得更加分裂而非团结。意见两极分化的部分原因是,正如我在中国城市中观察到的那样,公众同时关注非常近的(自我)和非常远的(想象中的“世界”),但忽视了两者之间的空间,因此未能认识到社会世界是如何通过相互关联的差异具体构成的。本文主张以“近处”为中心范畴来感知世界。附近是一个生活空间,人们经常在这里遇到不同背景的人。附近的事物将不同的位置带入一个视野,从而构成了一个“视野”。这样的范围使人们能够细致入微地理解现实,并促进新的社会关系和行动。附近的社区可能会形成一条抵抗国家、资本和技术力量的防线,将当地社区变成行政控制和价值提取的单位。这篇文章呼吁开展“第一英里运动”,艺术家、研究人员和活动家共同努力,帮助公民建设附近的建筑,以此作为反思生活经历、测试伟大意识形态和参与公共讨论的基础。

On union, displaced: Capture and captivity with the Hong Kong Artist Union (HKAU) 关于工会,流离失所:与香港艺术家工会(HKAU)的捕获与囚禁

E. V. Bovino
In 2016, between Guangdong strikes in mainland China and Hong Kong’s unionization momentum, Hong Kong artist Wong Ka Ying posted a call on Facebook founding the Hong Kong Artist Union (HKAU). The gesture followed the mischievously named Come Inside, Hong Kong’s ‘first female artist duo’ created by Wong and artist Mak Ying Tung, which declared it would combat art’s ‘formalized system’. Ironically, one of its first actions was to enrol in a course on insurance that could help it formalize healthcare for artists. Come Inside welcomed the idea that opposition to the ‘system’ brings artists into it. HKAU took shape within this ‘trap’ when Wong and Mak started researching trade unions. ‘On Union, Displaced’ explores the past four years of HKAU existing as a union-not-yet-registered-as-an-official-union, a serious gesture of ludic conceptualism that plays with artistic freedom’s relationship to captivity and capture. Through Rey Chow’s theory of conceptual art as trap, it traces HKAU’s entanglement in the history of Hong Kong art groups, regional labour organizing, and efforts to reground the term ‘artist’. Studying HKAU requires various conceptual frameworks: Yuk Hui’s cosmotechnics; Laikwan Pang’s multiple sovereignties; Sandro Mezzandra and Brett Neilson’s border-as-method; Linda Lai Chiu-han’s performative research; and Frank Vigneron’s plastician. The article explores how being ‘plastic’ ‐ a union displaced; a union whose registration with the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region is perpetually negotiated ‐ has helped HKAU pose important questions about solidarity and sovereignty in art.
2016年,在中国大陆广东罢工和香港工会化势头之间,香港艺术家王家英在脸书上呼吁成立香港艺术家联盟(HKAU)。这一姿态是在王和艺术家麦创作的香港“第一对女艺术家组合”Come Inside之后做出的,该组合被戏称为“走进来”,并宣布将打击艺术的“正式制度”。具有讽刺意味的是,它的第一个行动是报名参加一个保险课程,这可以帮助它为艺术家提供正规的医疗保健。《走进来》欢迎反对“体制”会把艺术家带入其中的想法。当王和麦开始研究工会时,香港大学就在这个“陷阱”中形成了《联盟,流离失所者》探讨了过去四年来,香港大学作为一个尚未注册为官方联盟的联盟存在,这是一种荒谬的概念主义的严肃姿态,它玩弄了艺术自由与囚禁和捕获的关系。通过周的概念艺术陷阱理论,追溯了香港大学在香港艺术团体历史、区域劳工组织和重新定义“艺术家”一词的努力中的纠缠。研究香港大学需要不同的概念框架:余晖的宇宙技术;庞的多重主权;Sandro Mezzandra和Brett Neilson的边界作为方法;赖秋涵的表演研究;还有弗兰克·维格纳龙的橡皮泥。这篇文章探讨了作为一个“塑料”联盟是如何被取代的;一个在香港特别行政区注册的工会一直在谈判中,这帮助香港非盟提出了关于艺术团结和主权的重要问题。

Bordering domesticity: Filipina domestic workers in Hong Kong’s contemporary art 边缘家庭生活:香港当代艺术中的菲律宾家庭佣工

Since the 1970s, hundreds of thousands of migrant domestic workers from the Philippines have moved to Hong Kong. As they filled the city’s growing demand for care work, they also altered the city’s art practice and cultural landscape. In this article, I propose to consider a double meaning of ‘domesticity’ ‐ in both the language of motherhood and motherland ‐ as a productive framework to investigate the migratory experience of Filipina domestic workers. Focusing on Cedric Maridet’s Filipina Heterotopia and Xyza Cruz Bacani’s We Are Like Air, I examine how ‘domesticity’ has become particularly pertinent to understanding the ‘border’ through the movement of bodies and the global transferral of care labour.
自20世纪70年代以来,成千上万的菲律宾家庭佣工移居香港。他们在满足城市对护理工作日益增长的需求的同时,也改变了城市的艺术实践和文化景观。在这篇文章中,我建议考虑“家庭生活”的双重含义-在母性和祖国的语言中-作为调查菲律宾家庭工人迁移经验的生产框架。以Cedric Maridet的《菲律宾异托邦》和Xyza Cruz Bacani的《我们就像空气》为中心,我研究了“家庭生活”是如何通过身体的运动和护理劳动的全球转移来理解“边界”的。

HerStory (2007): Falling with Hong Kong in women’s writing and dance HerStory(2007):在女性写作和舞蹈中与香港一起坠落

This article analyses Hong Kong-based choreographer Helen Lai’s work HerStory (2007) in the context of Hong Kong’s handover in 1997 and its impact on modern dance and women’s writing. I examine HerStory’s innovation of a gesture ‐ falling ‐ in multiple registers and argue that the gesture of falling enacts a potential field to articulate the unspeakable, unrecognizable bodily experience. I show the ways HerStory, through falling, undid the boundaries of the rural and urban space, the past and the present, the individual and the collective; and expressed the tensions between women’s corporeal experience and gendered social inscriptions. In the end, I discuss why revisiting these relations can help us better understand Hong Kong’s historical moment.
本文以1997年香港回归为背景,分析了香港编舞家Helen Lai的作品《HerStory》(2007)及其对现代舞和女性写作的影响。我在多个语域中研究了HerStory对跌倒手势的创新,并认为跌倒手势创造了一个潜在的领域来表达无法形容、无法识别的身体体验。我展示了HerStory如何通过堕落,打破农村和城市空间、过去和现在、个人和集体的界限;并表达了女性的物质体验与性别社会铭文之间的紧张关系。最后,我讨论了为什么重新审视这些关系可以帮助我们更好地理解香港的历史时刻。

How is art political? The political construction in the discourse of art activism in Hong Kong 艺术是如何政治化的?香港艺术行动主义话语中的政治建构

With the radicalization of activism in Hong Kong in the past decade, it has become increasingly common for artists to engage in the political situation through their creative work; the discussion of art and activism has also become popular and the term ‘art activism’ is usually used to describe such practices, referring it with a new political imagination of art. This article takes the discussion of such practices through the concept of art activism as a complex dynamic of discursive practice. It reflects the ways in which politics are constructed through the discourse of art activism, and how such a concept contributes to its political dynamics in social movements. This article attempts to analyse the changing trajectory of the discourse of art activism and to explore how different actors discuss its confrontational relationship in different contexts. Hence, what kind of politics does this concept refer to? This article suggests that the discourse of art activism has been influenced by the theory of New Social Movements in the West, in which the construction of collective emotions and identities are emphasized. It has become a key element in the political composition of art activism, and provided a new impetus to the dynamics of social movement, but at the same time imposed certain limitations later on. This article takes such a review as an attempt to outline the political construction of the discourse of art activism in Hong Kong, tracing its dynamics and changing trajectories, hence the heterogeneous elements in the discourse of art activism that may provide an alternative perspective in deconstructing its boundaries.
近十年来,随着香港激进主义的激进化,艺术家通过创作参与政治局势的现象越来越普遍;关于艺术和激进主义的讨论也变得流行起来,“艺术激进主义”一词通常被用来描述这种实践,将其与一种新的艺术政治想象联系起来。它反映了通过艺术激进主义话语构建政治的方式,以及这种概念如何在社会运动中对其政治动态做出贡献。本文试图分析艺术激进主义话语的变化轨迹,并探讨不同的行动者如何在不同的语境中讨论其对抗关系。因此,这个概念指的是什么样的政治?本文认为,艺术激进主义话语受到西方新社会运动理论的影响,其中强调集体情感和身份的建构。它已经成为艺术激进主义政治构成中的一个关键因素,为社会运动的动力提供了新的动力,但同时也对后来的社会运动施加了一定的限制,因此,艺术激进主义话语中的异质元素可能为解构其边界提供了另一种视角。

Urban transformations and contemporary art in China 中国的城市转型与当代艺术

In the recent decades, China has experienced an ‘urban revolution’ (e.g. Wu 2007; Campanella 2008), whose scale and speed are unprecedented in human history for both the increase of construction projects and urban population. Existing scholarship on the topic explores the tangible and quantifiable aspects of the urban transformation, such as policy changes, physical development and expansion of cities including the construction boom, rural-urban migration, and inevitably, widening social inequality (e.g., Friedmann 2005; Hsing 2010; Zhang 2011). At the same time, more attention should be given to the intangible processes of transformation, such as how individual urban residents experience and perceive their changing cities through cultural means for a more holistic and multifaceted understanding of urban aspiration and its consequences in China.
近几十年来,中国经历了一场“城市革命”(如吴,2007年;坎帕内拉,2008年),其规模和速度是人类历史上前所未有的,无论是建筑项目的增加还是城市人口的增加。关于这一主题的现有学术探讨了城市转型的有形和可量化方面,如政策变化、城市的物质发展和扩张,包括建筑业的繁荣、农村向城市的迁移,以及不可避免地扩大的社会不平等(例如,Friedmann 2005;兴2010;张2011)。同时,应更多地关注转型的无形过程,例如城市居民如何通过文化手段体验和感知他们不断变化的城市,以便更全面、多方面地了解中国的城市愿望及其后果。

Rooted in practice-based research, the article uses the author’s artistic work as a springboard to discuss wider issues of ecology restoration, rewilding and environmental aesthetics. The first section of the article critically reviews and contextualizes the author’s eight-year photographic project, Forest, which investigates the politics of nature restoration projects in two new Chinese cities. Hinged upon contemporary environmental awareness and canonical photography aesthetics such as the topographic, the documentary and the storytelling, the Forest project pictorially and dialectically discusses the complexities of urban nature while beginning to accept urbanized China as a possible homeland. Extending the notion of constructed nature to an international context, within the global conversation efforts of re-naturalization and rewilding, the second section of the article analyses the inherent contradictions of rewilding in the post-wild world. The rewilded landscapes, the neo-wilderness, are brought into attention as a physical space to be investigated. The third section of the paper returns to its roots as practice-based research and tries to understand the neo-wilderness from the perspectives of landscape aesthetic traditions of both the West and China. The article finds commonality between three generations of representative western and male environmental photographers in their aesthetic choices and their philosophical grounding towards the sublime, pristine nature, as well as the binary between nature and culture. Finally, after a cautious discussion around the potential mis-use of Chinese traditional landscape aesthetics within contemporary landscape photography, the article points out the need to find alternative landscape aesthetics in order to critically investigate the meaning of nature now, with the constructed, rewilded landscapes as a crux for artists to produce an informed pictorial understanding.
本文立足于基于实践的研究,以作者的艺术作品为跳板,讨论生态恢复、野生化和环境美学等更广泛的问题。文章的第一部分对作者历时八年的摄影项目“森林”进行了批判性的回顾和背景分析,该项目调查了中国两个新兴城市自然恢复项目的政治问题。“森林”项目以当代环境意识和典型的摄影美学为基础,以地形、纪录片和叙事方式,以形象和辩证的方式讨论城市自然的复杂性,同时开始接受城市化的中国作为一个可能的家园。文章的第二部分将构建自然的概念扩展到国际语境中,在再自然化和再野生化的全球对话努力中,分析了后野生世界中再野生化的内在矛盾。重新野生化的景观,新荒野,作为一个物理空间被研究。论文的第三部分回归到实践研究的本源,试图从中西方景观美学传统的角度来理解新荒野。本文发现了三代具有代表性的西方和男性环境摄影师在审美选择和对崇高、原始的自然的哲学基础以及自然与文化的二元性方面的共同点。最后,在谨慎地讨论了中国传统景观美学在当代景观摄影中的潜在误用之后,文章指出,为了批判性地研究自然的意义,需要找到另一种景观美学,以构建的、重新野生化的景观作为艺术家产生明智的图像理解的关键。
