穿 wear #03

Description

《穿》第三期終於出來了，像個斯巴達勇士,穿的不多，但渾身腱子肉因此它更具穿透力，穿插在不同的系統，話語與現實之間。與其它表裡不一的出版物不同（多數的雜誌封面材料與內容頁不同），每期《穿》的裝幀設計都很丟臉（即試圖將自身的面目在表裡的模糊中丟掉)。言歸正傳，本期的《穿》圍繞「你有種」這一時髦用語，從批判理論，微觀政治與藝術生產三個方向娓娓道來：有種即種子於某主體中的存在但它在日常交流中所具有的「有膽色」，「膽子大」等含義卻不可避免地把主體的邊界和限制打破在從內在的「有」向外在的行動或行為的運動中達成了自身作為種子的生長。因此，它不僅是一系列滾雪球活動（如種子炸彈，城市探險等）的發射台，更是一個在影評人，有機市集發起人與藝術行動主義者等個體間展開的關於中國當代境遇的討論的潛在節點。

wear journal finally arrives to its third issue in spartan outfit: double-pleated, DIY and pretty much naked. Following the first two issues’ design of a coverless magazine about urban dress, this issue thinks about the fashionable phrase “你有種 ni you zhong” in a few of the other realms where HomeShop likes to dwell: critical theory, micropolitics and artistic production. “有種 you zhong”—literally meaning “to have seed” and metaphorically insinuating that one is ballsy or daring—becomes here more than a launchpad for a series of rolling activities (like seed bombing or urban exploring); it is also the point of potential from which the likes of a film critic, organic market organizers and artist-activists engage in a context-specific dialogue on the global realities at play in China.

《穿》是『家作坊』獨立發行的雜誌。以印刷品的形式將藝術、哲學和社會研究呈現出來。雜誌記錄了由『家作坊』發起的一系列公共活動、討論和乾 預,同時為藝術家,作家和鄰居百姓提供了一個平台,從而營造出一 個本土化的語境,對一個充滿衝突與活力的高速發展的中國做出即時反應。

wear is the independently published journal of HomeShop. Combining an artist book, theoretical reader and social research in printed form, the journal documents the public activities, discussions and interventions organised at HomeShop, while serving as a broader platform from which to gather contributions from artists, writers and the folks in the neighbourhood for a local dialogue and everyday reflection upon the contradictions and dynamism of a fast-changing China.
