藝術行動者駐場計畫
AAiR 2011-2012

Description

本書收錄了「活化廳」在2011-12年間進行的駐場實驗，包括9位／組分別來自不同城市的藝術家和行動者組織。這個駐場計劃一方面展示各地藝術家和行動者如何將藝術結合到不同領域的抗爭運動，亦同時紀錄了他／她們在「活化廳」駐場期間的創作實驗，並與油麻地社區碰撞出什麼成果。書中介紹的藝術家無論是策劃行動以感染更多人的參與又或從身處的社區默默經營，都提示到藝術家的社會角色和定位——藝術，又或一種美學經驗的創造能力，如何在社會／運動中創造凝聚「異議」的空間。

This book records Woofer Ten’s “Art/Activist in Residency” programme conducted between the years 2011 and 2012 to create a platform for collaborative work between nine different artist/activist groups from different cities. This plan was, at one and the same time, a means to demonstrate the ways in which artists develop media to intervene in struggles at home, while staging an encounter between their work and the neighborhood of Yaumatei. The artists that this book introduces—whether their interventions inspired others to participate in struggles, or whether they entrenched themselves, silently and inconspicuously, in their neighborhoods—all raise important questions about the place and the role of the artist today. Each attempts to ask how art, or aesthetic experience, can continue to materialise spaces that generate heterogeneity and difference in societies condemned to a repetition of the same.
