专题概览 Program Overview
已经发生的是否就是确凿无疑的?尚未发生的是否又是虚假无用的?回望历史,我们往往会向看似理性的史料、向过往留下的清晰痕迹寻求指导,而文字记载、影像纪录所携带的对表现“真实”的权威,佐以霸权文化对解释高地的占领,也时时刻刻使我们趋向单一线性的历史理解和相对静止的殖民意象。本期专题的两位嘉宾通过各自的艺术实践,以上古传说和科幻未来造舟,放入以“客观中立”凝视他者、限定他者的主流史观,并在稳定的、单向的对历史、国族和未来的想象外开辟出通往反思史料、反思(前/中/后)殖民、反思跨文化和全球化的新河道。
Are those lie in the past absolutely irrefutable and unchangeable? Or those in the future, undetermined and therefore useless? When reflecting upon the history, we tend to seek guidance from the seemingly rational historical data or other distinguishable traces. Written records and visual documentations are often undoubted in their ability to represent historicity and the truth. Coupled with cultural hegemony, certain dominant interpretations of the past have fed us with a historiographic mindset of linear progression and relative static colonial imagery. The guest speakers of this issue have been trying to intervene in such conceptualization of history through their respective art practices. One draws reference from ancient legends while the other envisions a future in space, both questions the mainstream historiography about the objective and neutral gaze it sets upon and the boundaries it marks around the cultural and racial Other. By breaking away from the stable and one-way imagination of the history, the nation, and the future, they have found alternative ways to rethink the historical data, the (pre/mid/post-) colonial, the multicultural experience, and globalization.

PARALLEL NARATIVES
平行叙事
《平行叙事》(Parallel Narratives)假设中国的水手们在西班牙人到达以前就已横跨了太平洋,并与每周社会产生了接触。Camacho Herrera 观察了前西班牙殖民时期的美洲工艺品与中国文物的相似性,比对这两个不同的文化中采纳的不同技术,对已被广泛接受的历史概念提出了挑战,并重新想象一种非线性的历史、一种流动且不断改变着的地域,承载着我们的记忆与集体的无意识。
Parallel Narratives hypothesises that Chinese sailors crossed the Pacific Ocean and had contact with American societies before the arrival of the Spanish. Observing the similarities between artefacts from pre-Hispanic America and Chinese antiquities and comparable technologies adopted by the different cultures, Camacho Herrera challenges accepted notions of history, reimagining it as non-linear; a fluid and changeable region of our memory and collective unconscious.
Director Bio|导演介绍
Francisco Camacho Herrera,1979 年生于哥伦比亚波哥大,生活工作于荷兰阿姆斯特丹。Francisco Camacho的艺术实践里有一种微妙的政治立场,在社会行动主义与参与性艺术的连接点上。把艺术作为社会改变的平台,Camacho 的作品以一种原创与强烈的方式影响了不同的社群,实现了在现实意义层面的“输出”。Camacho 认定他作品的目标在于对未来社会的想象,并曾经这样写道:“作为一个艺术家,对我而言最重要的,就是可以自治且灵活地去生成图像,以描述社会空间的问题,并对现时社会缺少的东西以及未来可能是什么样子展开评论。”Camacho 的实践关注于评估当下的问题,参与对未来的刺探,并给出独具创意及挑衅意味的回应。

「如有真实,纯属虚构」
Any resemblance to actual events is entirely fictitious.
本项目旨在探讨“虚构”与“非虚构”作为一种创作策略在当代艺术、电影、戏剧,以及更广泛的文化范畴内如何被创作者使用、被观众接受,继而影响我们对于既有文本亦或是世界的理解。通过对于特定作品的分析与研讨,2020夏季单元刺探并尝试锚定“虚构”与“非虚构”这两个概念之间的张力与边界。
本项目基于如下的五个子项目构架并展开:
第69期 | 不稳定的档案:历史、国族和未来的想象
第70期 | 重演:事件还原中的余波荡漾
第71期 | 图像,真实,割裂的性
第72期 | 共同叙事的迷思:神话及虚构叙事学
第73期 | 纪录片:一种非虚构类型的虚构原罪?
