"...In the meantime, under bridges and under cracks, the revolution continues. Arrow Factory maintains its hutong space;ChART plans for additional Open House events this fall...'I think that traditional and non-traditional spaces can coexist and even work together,' says Megan Connolly. But what's going on right now is 'definitely an indication that Beijing is looking for a change in the way people present art’.” Link

"...ChART Contemporary, run by New York ex-pat sisters Megan and K.C. Connolly, staged a hit-and-run installation in an abandoned apartment for just four hours. ChART Contemporary also presented "Open House" with Du Yi, another young artist from Wuhan who made a site-specific installation from the remains of a peasant home demolished to make room for monolithic apartments blocks.” Link

流浪艺人的媒体生命 [武汉]

流浪艺人的媒体生命 [武汉]

From: Art Forum
August 28 2009

“2009年8月14日下午,在武汉东湖露天电影院旧址,WAZA的新作品"三十个中国内地流浪艺人的媒体生命"拉开序幕。虽然八月的武汉非常炎热,但开幕现场还是聚集了不少来参观的人。东湖天电影院旧址差不多有一个足球场那么大,WAZA的声音装置放在场地中间,粉绿的色调与湖边风景看起来挺和谐。在远处听到的是一推奇怪的声音,感觉有些杂乱,越走近,这样的声音就越大,但只有贴近某个个体仔细听,才能分辨出是什么声音。” Link
