Filed under: Events — Alice @ 12:13 pm

[lang_en]Exhibition: 28 November,2012
Venue: 50 Yongjia Road, Shanghai
Cost: Free

This exhibition consists of two parts. Cement Bloom is a novel, twelve illustrations I draw in the novel has become a part of the exhibition; Wildcats Investigation Report is another graphic novel going to be published in early 2013 and the novel covers eleven short stories with a large number of illustrations.
Although the above two novels are not directly related, their profound implications are both about the city, so I merged them together to release a multi-angle expression concerning a cognitive process of the cities.
Cement Bloom,the new book release will be held in Xindanwei at the end of December, but I‘m temporarily unable to determine the date (end of December), once confirmed will be announced. Welcome all the friends to attend the party and we’ll give the old and new books and gifts (limited number) at the new book release. In order to ensure certainly be able to get the gifts, please bring a gift to me.
Finally, congratulate Merry Christmas in advance.

About Arco:
I was allocated to the Haikou beacon Hainan Maritime Bureau as a light buoys crew after graduated from the technical school. During the light buoys maintenance in the South Sea in 2009, the buoys fixed-strand breaks, but I was so dedicated to the work that did not realized the lighted buoys have been drifting away from the original location. I did not take any communication tools with me when the fog came down like a curtain so that I‘m unable to obtain any rescue.
I belt myself onto the light buoy and let it drifting along, waiting for rescue …
Five days later, the light buoy drifted to a small uninhabited island and I lost contact with the outside world until 2011, an American cargo ship rescued me. These two years on the island, apart from the maintenance of my own live, I also wrote novels in my spare time. Cement Bloom is the first novel that I wrote on the Island.[/lang_en]

[lang_cn]展览时间:11月28日
地点:永嘉路50号新咖啡
费用:免费

这个画展由两部分构成,《水泥花开》是新近结束的一部小说,我在小说中绘制的十二幅插图成为了这次展览的一个部分;《野猫调查报告》则是2013年年初计划出版的一部图文小说,小说由十一个短篇构成,并配以数量众多的插图。
虽然这两部作品并未有直接关系,但都是关于城市,因此将其合为一处,多角度的表达我对城市的认知与思考。
另外,《水泥花开》的新书发布将在十二月底在新单位举行,但是日期上暂时无法确定(十二月月底),一旦确认会第一时间公布,届时欢迎太阳系的朋友们前来参加,现场有新书和旧作相赠(数量有限),为了确保肯定能够拿到赠品请也带礼物给我。 最后,提前祝贺各位圣诞快乐。

关于阿科:
技校毕业后分配至海南海事局海口航标处,任灯浮标维修工。
2009年在南海维修灯浮标时,浮标固定链断裂,但因工作过于投入,并未及时发现,等有所察觉,灯浮标已经漂离原先位置,当时身上未带有任何通讯工具,又加之突起大雾,无法获取救援。
我用安全带将自己固定于灯浮标上,顺势漂流,等待救助……
五天后,灯浮标漂至一座无人岛屿,我就此和外界失去联系,直到2011年被一艘美国籍货轮救起。
在岛上的两年中,我除了维系自己的生命,还在业余时间进行小说创作,《水泥花开》就是在形容词岛(我给孤岛起的名字)写下的第一部作品。[/lang_cn]
