展銷場新一期的《目錄》到達柏林成功不動。 Durational Installation and Market Intervention.
Display Distribute is a thematic investigation, distribution service, exhibition space and sometimes shop based in Kowloon, Hong Kong. Exportation to Berlin is not necessarily a question of movement but rather in this instance a durational tactic of merely staying in place. Incoming packages, crates and parcels build up, turning the museum into a port of entry, docking ground and 11-day sublet. Artistic services and logistics gone awry engage the administrative and institutional as a question of multi-functionality. From the midst of a Festival into the middle of a Fair, this anti-spectacular moment of stasis traces the grey subjectivities behind bottom-up processes and mass production as a negotiation in movement.

Display Distribute new title acquisition mình takes a month-long journey as courier Ms. TRAN travels around Europe after arriving from Melbourne. Coordination between a shy courier and a shy receiver results in a meeting between two people wearing the same outfit.
A mistaken routing brings books from Hong Kong to Beijing when they should have simply crossed the harbour. Fortunately, Hong Kong sound artist-courier Miss LEE is in Beijing to exhibit for the first time, and her quick trip makes for a smooth return to Hong Kong.

There, she will be reconvening with her husband, who will take go by car from their home in Changchun, and her parents, who live in Shenzhen.

The biggest disaster of a dispatch for experienced courier HO began with a 45 minute bus ride from the New Territories towards City U, but a missed stop resulted in a highway turnaround that only led to missing the stop again. In this moment HO learns that New Territories buses have oddly planned distances between stops: from the missed stop and its previous stop, only a few hundred meters apart; but from the missed stop to the next, a cursed 21.6 km. Cursing for another hour or so, until she overhears a lovely conversation from a little boy and his father on the bus:
「Papa, look at the giant ship! Where is it going?」
「To make deliveries.」
「Where do they deliver?」
「To foreign countries.」
「What do they do in foreign countries?」
「They do business.」
「That must take a long time!」

Fortunately Mr. LEUNG lives in Hong Kong, so it was convenient for Hong Kong-based LOGISTICIAN HO to deliver it to him in Yaumatei.

展銷場在東京的「No Limit節」終於有機會同《馮火》月刊編輯部的幾個成員見面。後者在準備時代美術館舉辦的「榕樹頭路行社」項目邀請了展銷場做為香港站的導遊。為了準備，展銷場先給他們送了幾本剛印好的展銷場目錄。
Display Distribute finally meets some of the members of Fong Fo monthly's editorial team in Tokyo, where a pan-Asian gathering of "Asian dumbasses" called the No Limit Festival brings comrades together from Seoul, Taipei, Shanghai, Hong Kong and Kuala Lumpur. The handover is carried out at the Nantoka Bar, one of the headquarters of No Limit organisers Amateur Revolt.

After being delayed for some time, dispatch HQL-146 makes it to Sissi LI just in time for the goodbye drinks toasted in her honour at a bar in Jingan District. Ms. LI, a Dalian native, finished her degree earlier this year in Nancy and spent several months in Shanghai participating in a postgraduate exchange programme which offers the unique opportunity for young French practitioners to work in China. This late night delivery must have clouded LIGHT LOGISTICS over, however, and Sissi points out that her dispatch is incomplete, missing several of the books she requested. The remainder will have to be re-routed to Lyon where she currently resides.
Previous logistical engagements mean that weighty dispatch HQL-141, including the infamous 1 kg publication from Beijing artist-run space HomeShop, must be routed through Pudong before entering the old industrial neighbourhood of Yangpu. Thankfully, the dark alleys of Dinghaiqiao are suddenly lit up with the pungent waft of sticky rice, coconut milk and durian, a Guangdong dessert delight especially stewed by researcher Ms. DENG, who has ordered the HomeShop journal wear to read the essay from her PhD advisor Jeroen de KLOET.
The unresolved extraterritorial dispatch of Hangzhou-based Ms. QING is aided by the G20 security onslaught in her city. Along with the city on total virtual lock-down from unsightly traffic, terrorists and incoming/outgoing post, a holiday is imposed upon offices during the week-long meeting of global economic badasses. Such encouragement to clear the city sends Ms. QING down to Shanghai, so she is very conveniently able to make most of the 168.9 km journey for HQL-140 herself. The remaining 1.9 km from the Display Distribute summer dispatch station to the Hengshan Road and Tianping Road handover point is covered by our LIGHT LOGISTICS courier, who cools off after a sweaty, running late walk with an iced coffee and chat about technology, logistics and the start-up with Ms. QING.
Back issues of Concrete Flux have been waiting patiently in Beijing for dispatch to Shanghai, and at the end of August, China Residencies director Kira Simon-Kennedy's periodic China update travel brings her from New York City to Beijing and Shanghai. After picking up HQL-138 from Meridian Space behind on Meishuguan Back Street, she successfully transports Concrete Flux to the temporary Display Distribute relay centre at the Zendai Zhujiajiao Art Museum.

Miss SU just started working at Rockbund Art Museum, and she comes out from the exhibition space to greet her LIGHT LOGISTICS courier, elegantly dressed yet in a slight flurry amidst the Museum's preparations for an upcoming event. During the short exchange, she received a large package of publications indicating broad interests extending far beyond the white cube, but she invites her courier to step inside it as well for Rockbund's upcoming retrospective of the work of Felix Gonzalez-Torres.

Miss YIP is a Guangdong native currently studying in Shanghai, and her interest in design and social practice is fronted by a street corner conversation with a publication courier on the limited possibilities of independent practice as a young graduate. After finishing her term, she is now considering to work for Display Distribute, maybe later going to Japan.

Ms. JIANG graduated last year from Royal College of Art in the UK and is now embarking on her first collection under the label Bachelor Manner. Dispatch HQL-134 is delivered to her studio, housed on the 19th floor of a residential high-rise just south of the Xujiahui computer & electronics area and eyeglasses city. An extended chat with the LIGHT LOGISTICS courier covers topics such as trade secrets, the precarity of labour for young people and the fashion environment in Shanghai.

Ms. XIE is a writer and creative director based at the Undefine M50 space, and her meeting with our LIGHT LOGISTICS courier opens a notch on the expanded friends network, as it turns out she is a colleague of graphic designer LU Rui, friend and participant in the 2015 Display Distribute project Parallel Trade.
This first-time tour of Songjiang District is backdropped by the wide skies of Chinese suburbia, including the spectacle of passing the Guangfulin archaeological site and relics park. After getting off the bus too early and waiting for a second bus, it is discovered that Songjiang buses cost an economical 1 yuan compared to 2 yuan in the city, and the leisurely stroll inside the Biyuan Villa compound is ironically noted via WeChat messages as coinciding with friends' stroll through Bishan village (same 碧) in Anhui Province. When meeting Ms. LI, arrangements are made to have the missing copies of the full set of Fong Fo sent directly from the editors to her university address in Guangzhou.

Mr. WU mysteriously works at number 88 in a housing community that is listed as only having house numbers 1-34. LIGHT LOGISTICS courier Elaine fails to find it, so Mr. Wu comes out to the front gate and invites her to coffee for the valiant effort.
Sasa was casually dressed at home, and the combination intimacy of opening a door into one's kitchen, her shy demeanor and what looked like a person flashing past in a shower cap in the background made it hard to look her in the eyes.

SHEamless zines from Tokyo arrive to Shanghai just in time for Display Distribute's participation in the abc/f book fair to be held at Minsheng 21st Century from the 19-21st August. High school teacher Dong Dong moonlights as a LIGHT LOGISTICS courier during a class trip to Japan. On her free day, she meets with SHEamless editor MIYAKE Aya from No Lady Swears in Sangen-chaya, picking up not only dispatch HQL-121, but dinner and drinks as well.

Brexit may deter the transit of other goods, labour and services, but will not stop the flow of LIGHT LOGISTICS dispatches to London, rest assured. Courier Stephanie Sin made a quick drop-in to the Victoria and Albert Museum to handover HQL-116 during her trip to London from Hong Kong for the wedding of a fellow member of the Rental United collective.
