Autumn scenery of Hanxi Village, Zangwan Township, Fuliang County

introduction

Lai Cai is a strong male dog who is fierce in appearance but friendly.

In a flash, the black one was just his roommate...

The dog and his friends were as ordinary as all the dogs wandering in the fields of the countryside or on the roads between the farm yards. Its name is remembered, originating from the art residency program "Art in Fuliang" "Huayuan Residency Plan • Fuliang" work "Wangwangwang".

Huayuan Residency Program Fu Liang "Looking and Looking" By Homer & Dreamer

Artist Homer & Dreamer, when he visited Hanxi Village in March 2021, established a simple friendship with the local dogs, who were all homely and belonged to another "villager" community. So, what is the daily route of the dogs? What stories do they encounter every day? How do they interact with human activities? Eventually these questions formed the artist's art project "Experiment on Social Observation of Rural Animals"...

Homer & Dreamer investigates the art project of the "Experiment on Social Observation of Rural Animals."

Just like the "simple beauty" we experienced from this art project, walking into Hanxi Village, Zangwan Township, Fuliang County, no matter how young children, boys, and old lads will introduce you to the artists' works scattered in the 18 square kilometers of Chashan Village. Even the elderly in the village will use the simplest words to the friends of the Beijing Han culture team who undertook the "Art in Fuliang": "You must work hard, work hard!"

In recent years, there have been more and more projects for rural revitalization, and the methods and attitudes have been different, and there are various phenomena and results, but they will increase the experience of doing this well.

"The most fundamental question here is: to make a project that consumes local resources quickly and makes money quickly? Or to do a sustainable long-term project that is responsible for the locals. He Haiyang, co-founder of Han Culture, said that over the years, from learning from Mr. Kitagawa Furo, the founder of the Echigo Wife Land Art Festival in Japan, to implementing the landing project of the "Land Art Festival" in China, his deepest understanding is that art is the crown placed on the huge foundation investment.

"Our works of art should be put into tea mountains and cottages, some roads should be paved, some should be connected to water and electricity, how to minimize the impact of construction on the lives and work of villagers?" Every detail and everyone's communication requires a lot of investment. "In the process of art township construction, He Haiyang felt most deeply that the work outside of art was complex and meticulous.

So what kind of art is really nourishing for the local villagers and the countryside? It also allows "Art in The Floating Beam" to establish a standard when selecting artists and art projects - "simple beauty".

The first generation of immigrant housing in Shizi Garden, Hanxi Village

Fuliang County is to accept the construction of the Xin'an River Reservoir in the 1960s and move out a large number of Chun'an immigrants. A total of 16,374 township migrants from the reservoir area of Chun'an County have moved to Fuliang County. Hanxi Village Shiziyuan is a group of pure immigrant villages that migrated from Weiping Town, Chun'an County, Zhejiang Province, to Hanxi Village in Zangwan Township, and after decades of hard work, they finally took root. The sound of the countryside is still there, the technique of growing tea and brewing is still there, self-reliance, losing the homeland to support the construction of the country, and establishing a new homeland, showing a touching history of immigration and the history of the struggle of immigrants. It is also such a special historical resource, as well as the villagers who need to be recognized, and therefore "art in the floating beam" landed in the Shizi Garden of Hanxi Village.

"I • Home • Township" Artists: Ni Ni, Huo Cheng, Yu Zhen

Introduction: Art in Fuliang - Granary Special Exhibition "I • Home • Township", Ni Ni presided over and participated in the creation, photography artist Huo Cheng and illustrator Yu Zhen jointly participated in the exhibition. In the form of photography, video, illustration and text, this exhibition organically combines into a true and peaceful, affectionate and warm humanistic picture. It doesn't present history with old objects, nor does it use old photographs to trace history, this exhibition presents the most authentic appearance of villagers who have been ignored by individuals, and the hearts they most want to express, and their most vibrant current state. The changes of the times have branded them, and the most reckless way of investing in national construction and the difficult choice of changing the small family will be reflected through this joint creation.

I – the individual me, the villagers of Cold Creek, a person, an individual symbol.

Home - the place of birth, the place of life, the home of the past, the home of the present, where the "I" is, where the home is.

Township - ancestral home, the place where the ancestors lived and multiplied for generations, the land where the blood is rooted, a kind of group symbol.

I • Home • Hometown, the meaning of single-word interpretation, represents the object to be presented in this work and the story behind them.

"My hometown", a phrase, it is the inner voice of every villager, no matter where they come from, where they live, hometown has always been a key word, the first generation or the second generation or even the third generation of immigrants have different definitions and different understandings of "my hometown".

"Good As Water" by Maria Verkara (Finland)

Introduction: The starting point of the creation: each household has a water tower and a water storage tank. Water is the most important thing for survival, the water tower is the basic element of the village, but also a recurring element, the water tower is everywhere in the village and becomes the symbol of the village.

In order not to add additional objects and destroy the overall impression of the village, the artist saw the water tower as a sculptural component creation. The water tower reminds the importance of water resources in the village and the hardships of fetching and storing water, upgrading the water tower and plating it with eye-catching colors.

Each family is different, and the artist, as a passerby, hopes to give each family the right to choose in his own artistic creation, so that each family can choose their favorite style in the artist's design, so that each water tower can present the personality of the residents and become a special visual object in the village.

About the Artist: Maria Verkara was born in Helsinki, Finland in 1954. Maaria's parents were both artists, and she grew up in an environment far from human habitation and surrounded by nature. At an early age, she designed her own wallpaper and copied the things around her, and when she grew up, she went to Helsinki to study ceramics and went to France for further study.

In mid-1990, Maaria rose to prominence in the art world for the first time with her participation in the Venus Biennale and the Istanbul Biennale. Her work is poetic and often searches for the "potential" hidden in various places, and spuns poetic chapters through her works. Because of this, many people around the world, except in Europe, are fascinated by her work, and she has also been invited to participate in different art festivals and other activities, through her special vision to create works that belong only to the local area.

This exhibition takes the results of the spring exhibition as the starting point and takes the Jingdezhen International Ceramics Expo as an opportunity to carry out new upgrades of existing works, new creation of night projects, and new experiences of linkage scenes. On the basis of the original 22 works of art, five new works, including landscape art, the Huayuan Residency Plan, and the "Beautiful Book" exhibition, were added. Artron Art Network also took the opportunity of "Art in Fuliang 2021 Autumn" to interview Sun Qian, chairman of Beijing Han Culture Communication Co., Ltd. and chief planner of "Art in Fuliang 2021".

Q&A

Q: Artron Art Network

A: Sun Qian, chairman of Beijing Han Culture Communication Co., Ltd. and chief planner of "Art in Fuliang 2021"

Q: What is the difference between this year's Autumn and Spring Exhibitions?

A: The spring exhibition mainly focuses on the display of artistic creation. In the autumn, a diverse art residency program for young people was added, which was originally established in 2016 at the Huayuan Chinese Art Base founded by my wife in Echigo and has so far done more than a dozen exhibitions in Japan. This time, we will bring this project to the floating beam for the first time, hoping to provide a practical platform for more young artists to create in the countryside.

Another focus is to bring "art in fuliang" to more cities, this section is called "to the countryside, to the city", we in different forms in Shanghai, Hangzhou, Sanya, Beijing and other places, in the national and important professional platforms and spaces, display and introduce "art in the floating beam", look forward to more people, pay attention to the countryside, into the countryside, build a village.

At the same time, we still attach importance to co-creation and symbiosis. During the autumn exhibition period, there are more than ten cross-border cooperation activities in various fields such as education, art, performance, and experience, which are very exciting. Among them, there is also a highlight of the "Fuliang Township Creation Festival" held in Hanxi Village.

Wang Quanyou is introducing his own wine

Introduction: Wang Quanyou, the original owner of the house, moved from Chun'an, Zhejiang to Fuliang in Jingdezhen. Wang Quanyou, who is good at brewing rice wine, based on this feature, the artist decided to transform the house into a tavern. From the large-area wall painting of the wall to the interior transformation, it is presented as a chic family tavern atmosphere. Since Chun'an and the floating beam are in the same dimension, the appearance of the wall presents a cheering scene. Indoors, tables and chairs are arranged in the bistro, combined with the manga display, so that visitors can not only come to the space to rest and rest, but also enjoy TANGO's selection of comics. The whole space echoes inside and out, creating an artistic tavern.

Q: What is the feedback and effect of the harvest at the Spring Fair?

A: The spring exhibition is generally successful, not only in the field of art, but also in all walks of life have received widespread attention and praise. The Fuliang County Party Committee and County Government gave a high degree of affirmation.

The 32-day exhibition reached 30,000 visitors, of which more than 80% came from outside Jingdezhen City. More than 100 domestic and overseas media reported online and offline from all angles, more than 30 million new media exposures, more than 2.5 million popular Weibo topics, and offline advertising reached a total of more than 100 million people.

Of course, the numbers do not represent the whole story, but they can reflect the appeal and influence of the Land Art Festival itself, and reflect the young generation's yearning for beautiful countryside.

In addition, we prefer to hear feedback from locals. Uncle Sun in the village said, "I've never been so happy when I've grown up." I haven't seen it in my life this month." Such a voice is the best response to our work.

"Channels - The Shape" Artist: Liu Jianhua

Introduction: Raindrops of different sizes are combined with water channels, and the water canals that once relied on irrigation are now abandoned, associating them with breeding and nurturing. The traces of history and thinking are integrated into the concept of the work, resulting in a sense of time and space of the past, the present and the future.

Q: What are the main aspects to consider when introducing high-quality industries and resources?

A: In different places, the solution to the problem will be different. But in general, we will consider from three aspects, the first is to match the rural environment, the second is to meet the basic needs of foreign tourists, and the third is to meet the logic of local industrial development. For example, cooperation with coffee brands and catering brands can be flashed, and long-term villages will be added in the future, and even physical stores will be opened. In addition, homestays, farms, study tours, product workshops, etc., are also in the scope of our thinking. As the "rural commissioner" of Hanxi Village in Fuliang County, I think this is not only a title, but more importantly, macro planning, clear positioning, appropriate introduction and long-term assistance are needed to implement this similar rural manager's behavior. Resources and industries that cannot be coordinated and integrated into this ecosystem are not considered. In the future, it is our fundamental goal to promote and cultivate the development of local independent commerce and let the countryside grow on its own.

"Dust in Evolution - Memories of Shi Ziyuan Village" By Xiang Yang

Description: The artist is stationed in two abandoned rooms, creating the interior walls of the old house. Presenting his well-known series Dust in Evolution. Xiangyang collected images of Jingdezhen and Shiziyuan Village, selected the figures, and carved their silhouettes on the walls of the house. Debris and patent leather scattered during the carving of the walls are collected in transparent pouches beneath each figure. The portrait on the wall and the debris in the small bag thus become the visual self-description of the image itself.

The abandoned rooms, like a local art museum, describe the history and story of the town and village itself. Residents of the village can see the history of Jingdezhen ceramics making, village migration and construction in the images on the walls, and see figures similar to themselves or their ancestors. These portrait silhouettes from real life and real history are familiar and familiar to the villagers. Whether the figures represented on the wall are still alive or have disappeared, the social traces and information he carries have been preserved, and they have been recorded and preserved on the wall of this room in this unique artistic concept and way. They merge with the old house, incarnate as a part of time, narrating and revealing layers to the audience who enter the house, and exist in another form in the memory of the village.

Artist Xiangyang (second from right) communicates with media guests

Q: "Art in Fuliang" uses the concept of "art creation" to create a rural cultural brand, what are the key points and difficulties in building a brand for the Fuliang area?

A: "Art Creation" originates from the concept and methodology of the Land Art Festival founded by Mr. Kitagawa Fulang, and combines a large number of local practices and innovations to cope with the actual needs of rural China. The resulting work, such as "art in the floating beam", requires the accumulation of talents, especially the participation of young people; The need for pragmatic support from social institutions and resources; The need for full trust and acceptance by locals and the government is a key issue we have to face, which is also an important guarantee for the "art creation" to be carried out, and we can truly continue to live. If there is a difficulty, as far as the floating beam is concerned, a village with pilot significance has begun, but how to expand to a larger geographical area in the future, whether it can be well and properly aligned with the path of local development, there is still a lot of work to be done, which is very difficult.

"The Beautiful Book THEBOOKAND" Artist: Liang Liang · HOU Zhi (UNITU)

Introduction: Books are like light, guiding growth; Another flower, blooming beautifully. When we pass on the companionship, healing, warmth, and strength that we once felt in the book to others, this sense of mission will once again ignite the spark of life and become a light that illuminates others.

The "Beautiful Book THEBOOKAND" public art project initiated by the creative organization UNITU uses the book as a transmission medium and uses curatorial thinking to initiate a content co-creation with the participation of the whole people - to solicit "good sharers" to recommend a book that represents the good in their minds, to send this beautiful story of people and books to special people in the form of letters, to bring together the stories of people and books, to connect people's emotions, and to let books blossom in their hearts.

The "Beautiful Book THEBOOKAND" public art project came to the Art in Fuliang Autumn Exhibition with the theme of "Art Perch Floating Beam For A ResT". On the tea field of the floating beam, the pure space art installation provides a rest space for the audience who stroll here in the background of the nature of heaven and earth, so that everyone can open their hearts here, savor the art festival, communicate with each other, and feel the resonance.

At the exhibition site of "The Book AND", flower plant artist Sheep's Head was invited to bring a new flower plant art installation "Habitat Nest" inspired by the mountains. This work is like a nesting bird, picking up a branch, grabbing a flower, turning ordinary "waste" into a unique decoration, and creating a habitat. It is also like a curly tea leaf in which life grows freely. It is hoped that through this primitive sense of ritual, we can re-experience the influence of nature and human life on each other.

Q: Is the emphasis on "deep engagement" or "immersive experience" a trend in recent years? What is the reason behind it?

A: People's increasing demand in life consumption is forcing market suppliers to constantly update and refine the depth of contact and experience perception of the content and services provided. Deep contact and immersion require interdisciplinary research and continuous expansion of experimentation, whether it is the immersion of sound and light in the city or the immersion of nature in the countryside, which is a pragmatic action on this path. Compared with the spatial limitations of the city, the countryside is broader and more imaginative, and this trend of perceptual ascension as the way, the life of the field has a natural connection with the origin of man. As for the reasons behind it, I think it is not complicated, the flooded, fast-processing, rough table content, has been unable to control these people who have new high requirements for aesthetics, quality, connotation, and distance.

"Lamp of the Earth" Artist: Ma Yansong

Description: The tea field surrounds the mountain, and there are several large trees on the hillside, which is the commanding height near the whole village. Usually no one goes up, and the best view becomes a place that has nothing to do with people.

MAD's installation adds to the existing field composition, a white "apex". The semi-transparent film is light and ethereal, like the white mist surrounding the trees, or the clouds falling from the sky, converging on the line of sight, making people feel the urge to cross the tea field and reach the top. At night the device becomes a lamp. The trees are full of shadows, forming a dynamic silhouette, like a lighthouse on land, and the change of light and shadow dots the night of the village.

The work attempts to reconnect the beautiful scenery with human behavior through simple ways and language between art and architecture, and to reactivate the relationship between man and nature in the vast countryside.

Q: Is the festival a short-lived carnival? Or is it an effective way to solve problems on an ongoing basis?

A: The "Regional Art Festival" founded by Kitagawa Fulang has a clear definition and mature operation method. In China, there are many rural art activities carried out in the name of the "Land Art Festival", and I believe that everyone's original intention is good, but the concepts followed, the goals set, and the action methods taken are very different from what we insist on, and the results obtained are naturally different. There are many active, focused on short-term effects, such as what you call "carnival". There is a lack of sufficient persistence and effective approaches to sustained problem solving. "Art Creation" is based on art, but the focus is on Creation. We are not just doing art, but what is outside and after art is the guidance of thought and action. The "art creation" system that we apply, which originates from the concept and method of "Land Art Festival", is always problem-oriented through localized artistic creation and a large number of matching cultural activities, which is an effective method of sustainable development. The "birth" of the countryside, we are willing to invest time, energy and feelings to create it ourselves.

"Tea Field Watchman" Artist: Portrait Library Portrait Library is a photography art brand co-founded by Lin Yankai, Xia Xiaonuan and Wang Shuai

Introduction: Photographs are the carriers of time and space. This time, the artist will extend the portrait photography exhibition to a larger field – nature. If you think of the whole tea field of Fuliang as an art museum, you can feel the surging wind here, the sun rising in the east and setting in the west, the sky cloud cirrus clouds... The fragrance of tea leaves, the chirping of birds, and the smell of earth after the rain try to stimulate the viewer's five senses to experience. The path in the tea field is the moving line of this film festival, hundreds of translucent portrait photos are arranged in a staggered arrangement, half floating on the tea field, people can freely shuttle through it, and even reach out to look through each photo and read everyone.

Everyone is a book that is read and read again. When efficiency becomes the first priority, where will our lives go? In the corner of the tea field, there is a stop called "Librarian", surrounded by nature and art, temporarily forgetting time, stopping and looking up: the photos in the distance are sometimes silent, sometimes fluttering, between heaven and earth, everyone is like a small "word", and the hand of the earth is flipping through this "huge book" composed of "people".

This year (2021) marks the 70th anniversary of Salinger's book The Catcher in the Rye, and the Portrait Library hopes to use this exhibition to pay tribute to this "Book of Life" that has comforted the hearts of countless people, and also symbolizes the watchful eye for "the meaning of photography". Seventy years later, when we stand in nature, we wonder if there is still a "wheat field" in our hearts that can be watched?

Artist Introduction: Portrait Library is a photographic art label co-founded by Lin Yankai, Xia Xiaonuan and Wang Shuai, abandoning the front and dangerous sitting of a thousand people, pursuing the authenticity of embracing simplicity and unity, and exploring natural and tense images. Advocating that "everyone is a book worth reading and re-reading", using restrained and simple lens language to record the true appearance of ordinary people in different life stages in the context of the times, showing the "diversity of beauty". As of 2020, the Portrait Library has recorded portraits for more than 3,000 people.

The artist introduces the work

Q: How can art be revitalized in regional cultures? The problem facing the festival is not only to attract traffic, but also to have an intrinsic driving force. Where does this drive land in your project?

A: All our creations in Hanxi Village have basically achieved three effects among the villagers: "proud praise, spontaneous understanding, and conscious maintenance". Such a change is gratifying, and it is also the fundamental intention of the land art festival, which is a regional art. The change of locals is brewing this driving force, they come from the improvement of pride and self-confidence, we help them introduce resources, improve methods, let them get closer to each other with the city, and add talents, resources and experience factors while regaining rural values, so that locals have more vision, greater ideals, better skills, and release the values of their hometown, culture and so on.

Drinking by David Gosstan (Israel)

Introduction: In your lifetime, can you find such a person? There is no gap between each other, always corresponding, I understand all your thoughts, and the beauty in your eyes is also in my eyes. Gambling books were poured with tea, and at that time, only the Tao was commonplace.

We are all looking for that person, as it is written in the Liezi Tang Qing: "Bo Ya is good at drumming and piano, and Zhong Zi is good at listening." Bo Ya drums and piano, aiming to climb the mountain. Zhong Zi said: 'Zenya! E'e-Ferno-Tarzan!' Aiming at the flowing water, Zhong Zi said: 'Zenya! It's like a river!' What Bo Ya reads, the bell will be obtained. ”

For the "Art in the Floating Beam" project customized works, Ge Shitan immediately thought of "tea". Like many people, tea is the most ordinary and indispensable thing in The Life of Goshitan, and what the art of Goshitan praises is ordinary life itself. The heat of the tea rises into two faces looking at each other, like a friend drinking, very comfortable. Tea and Zhiyin, since ancient times is a good pair, ancient poems have clouds: "boil tea to invite friends", and there are "half of the wall of the mountain house to wait for the bright moon, a light of tea to reward Zhiyin." Ge Shitan's "tea" is a frank meeting with Hanxi Village.

Steaming teacups and water vapor, wrapped in a playful noise of lines, colors and overlapping planes, exude the atmosphere of youth, freedom and vitality. Ge Shitan's works, using color as an instrument to compose pictures, compose the light and lively of daily life.

"Container of Memory" artist: Wu Jian'an

"Containers of Memory" Introduction: The work is composed of several containers, which come from the homes of residents of Hanxi Village. The artist's first impression of the Hanxi village is that there are many containers of different shapes and varieties, and the residents of Hanxi Village have many immigrants, who come from Qiandao Lake, hundreds of kilometers away. Some of the containers stored in the home have migrated with them, and today their practical functions may have mostly faded, but looking at the empty containers, it seems to be filled with memories of an era and proud memories of their role in life.

"Five Hundred Strokes @ Floating Beam", "Container of Memory" Artist: Wu Jian'an

Introduction to the works of "Five Hundred Pens @ Floating Beam": In 2016, starting with the public art project "Liberation of the Monkey King" implemented at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, Ye Jian'an began to use the language of rice paper ink collage to create a new series of works full of social participation and visual vitality - "Five Hundred Pens", through the integration of paper ink and paper collage, exploring the new composition of "two-dimensional" and "three-dimensional" spaces in painting, while extending the works to the sociological level and exploring the relationship between individuals and groups.

"Five Hundred Pens @ Floating Beam" invites local residents to participate in a kind of "stroke game": people can freely choose the size and type of brush, the dry and wet shades of color and ink are also arbitrary, do not draw images or write words, only leave a trace on rice paper as they wish. Wu Jian'an then cut and carved a large number of strokes he had collected, put them together, and gathered them onto a brand new blank rice paper to form a work of "Five Hundred Strokes" that was full of serendipity and carefully managed in a form. In the logic of the relationship between handwriting and people, random pen portraits of people's subconscious projected on rice paper, they vary from person to person, carrying a large amount of life information of the author. None of the strokes are boring, and the stage they form is more full of dramatic tension, because behind them are the living and concrete life of the floating beams.

"Signing Project" Artist: Vinna

Introduction: Reshaping the relationship between man and land through creation, and triggering the connection between psychological space and the material environment and social process of the village through the process of signing and praying and answering.

There are three steps to this approach:

First, transform the vacant end room that was once used as a barbershop into a signed room, let it become a part of community life again, and restore the publicity of the venue.

Second, by scanning the two-dimensional code on the chest of the grandfather of the "signature", the signature method induces the overflow of people's inner wishes, and through the contemporary deconstructed signature and the image of the "land elf", people are curious, and finally guide people to enter the material environment of the village to find answers.

Third, the mascot "See" is scattered in the form of murals in the appropriate places of the village, forming a network to closely combine the space of the whole village, and to make a new interpretation of the existing village environment and social process, and people complete the immersive interactive experience of the history, space and humanities of the village in the process of finding the unsigned.

"Half Wild Garden" Artist: ShanLi Mountainhood (Xu Qi, Ye Zi)

Introduction: The development of industry and science and technology is like a huge wave that cannot be reversed. People are wrapped up in it as if they are pursuing a "better" life, but they gradually lose their homeland on the way forward.

We in the wave are people who have lost our homes and are also lonely people. The bamboo forest at the foot of the mountain is still there, the red brick house built with my father in the forest is still there, and the fine and dense pebbles between the brick cracks are still there... But what about "home"? In front of the house, he looked like a foreigner.

The passing cannot be reproduced, so go to the dream to find - a semi-wild garden, in the wind and grass swaying to lead you to dream: the gravel path rustles softly; Small flowering vines climb up half of the stone wall; Grass and wildflowers grow freely, swaying gently in the wind with the rice paddies in the distance; And the chirping of insects and birds, the most familiar sounds in memory... Light jumped from the tiles of the roof to the face. A gust of wind passed and gently pushed the door: "I'm back".

Half-wilderness - home, ease, all things.
