xindanwei chitchat edition 19: recycle-x project

Time: 18:00-20:00pm Friday August, 27th
Cost:free
Host:Jingni Wang
In recycle-x project, five artists from Brazil, China, Spain, Netherlands and Croatia came to a old city called Dordrecht in Netherlands create art work there. What they specification is sustainable of society and soft technology, and share art with local community.

As one of the artist, what I want to share in this presentation is three project recycle-x did already:

Plantas Parlantes—-A installation that make plants “talking and screaming” to people who touch it.
Achterstraat—-We use conductive fabric and thread create a local map with local handy women. People were brought together by making map and sharing stories.
Looking for people who live in a sustainable way—- A seven days’ research to find people who live in a sustainable way in Dordrecht and make a diary and street intervention of it.

I will make the presentation focusing on the process of art project, that’s say ” what was happening”. I really want to share the process of mind work, process of technique realization and the experiences of sharing art with local people. I will take some recycled container and plant seed, we will plant it together after presentation.

Welcome media artist, art students and people who are interested in the connection of art and social sustainability.

WHO I AM?
My name is Jingni Wang, 24 years old, from Fujian.
I studied new media art in China Academy of Art since 2006. When I was in school, it was more studio work rather than “going out”. In 2008, I went to America and work as a art teacher in summer camp, it became my first time experiences of “share art with people”. And after graduating from school, I involved in establishing of a community art organization. Therefore, I got chances to “play art” with immigrants in Shanghai. In 2010, I started my residency in Dordrecht, Netherlands, collaborated with artists from different background. We lived in a community, create work with local people.
Every time, those kind of sharing art experiences is like “self-education” for me. It brings me happiness, love, knowledge, culture understanding, and even wise of life.They are like surprises out of art theory system. And that’s what I want to share with you this time.
I am young, more into composing rather than theory, so, this presentation will be more visualized, could be like a story telling.

新单位茶话会第十九期:recycle-x项目

时间: 8月27日（周五）18:00—20:00
费用: 免费
主持人:王静妮

荷兰的recycle-x项目里,五个分别来自巴西,中国,西班牙,荷兰和克罗地亚的艺术家一起来到荷兰的古城dordrecht,用半年的时间居住和工作在这里.他们特别关心的是可持续发展和柔软的科技和艺术,以及和社区居民一起创作.

作为其中之一的艺术家,这次简述主要想和大家分享的是cycle-x做过的三个小项目:

Plantas parlantes 会说话的植物
我们用电子材料和植物作为媒介来做了一个让植物说话装置,你对植物的触摸,都会引起它们的发声,围绕这个装置,我们做了一系列的对民众的工作坊.除此之外,还将带大家看一个比利时的艺术农场.

Achterstraat 后街:
我们和当地的手工者妇女们一起用导电面料和织线制作的当地地图,通过这个项目,周围的人们被自然而然地带到了一起,讲述他们的故事,一起协作和动手.

Looking for people live in sustainable way 寻找过着环保型生活的人
我们用一周的时间,在当地寻找,过着环保型生活的人,调查从生态农庄开始,经历了transition-town(过渡性村庄),无金钱的物物交换商店,Hipi嬉皮村庄,以水作为日记的艺术家,生态建筑师,以及反对有机农业的人,之类等等.在调研结束后,我们制作了一本生态人物的日记以及当地的环保”人脉图”.

我会把重点放在项目的”过程”,也就是”经历了什么?” 很想和大家分享的是在创作时候的思维发展的过程, 技术的实现过程, 以及艺术家和社区合作对作品的影响.然后我还会带一些种子和小容器,大家可以一起来播种了小葱带回家~希望一个月后,大家的家里都有没有打过农药的,没有加过化肥的小葱吃.

特别欢迎, 媒介艺术家, 艺术专业的学生, 和对生态\科技与艺术的结合感兴趣的人.

我是谁?
我叫王静妮,今年24岁,是福建人.
本科的时候,在杭州的中国美术学院学习新媒体艺术.本科时候,很多时候都是比较个人的创作,大二暑假,在美国的女子夏令营做过辅导员,那个时候是第一次走出工作室去和人们一起分享艺术.毕业以后,在上海参加了社区艺术机构禾邻社的建立,于是开始有机会和上海流动人口社区里的人们一起玩”艺术”.再之后,进入了荷兰re-x项目,和不同的艺术家,技术人员一起合作,当然还有和社区里的人们一起创作.每次这样的经历,都感觉是一次”自我的教育和成长”.这样的教育,对我而言,很像是”艺术话语体系”外的”惊喜”,是一种受益终身的人生的教育.
我还比较年轻,并且是一个做创作的人,对学术和理论不懂,所以,这个陈述会比较视觉化,会像是…..讲生活的故事吧.
