We are very glad to launch our new performing artwork “We apologize to inform you” on Zhu Jia Jiao Contemporary Art exhibition in the beautiful old town in Shanghai.
The performance is separated by two parts, which totally take 8 hours, so welcome to join our performance in any time when you arrive.

The 1st part- Sleeping lunch: 9:00am-2:00pm

In this part, we will sleep on a huge fabric on which was written by our dialogue. The sleeping area is inside of the traditional opera theater, and you can come to join the dinner that will begin at 12:00am, we will prepare 2 table meals in a typical Chinese food style. Welcome to eat and talk with other participants. We will be so happy to feel you were here with us; even we are sleeping beside you.

The 2nd part- Misrepresentation: 2:00pm-5:00pm

When we wake up, we will distort on the writing of our thoughts by painting ink. The dance painting performance will continue till to we lose all movement energy. Xiao Ke dances with ink to paint, Zi Han writes again and again on the fabric. It is a recovering and misrepresentation process to show our action.

观看精简视频

第一部分《沉睡的饭局》-现场行为及装置作品:
装置部分:地面铺设完整的大面积白布,白布上写有小珂与子涵的日常对话。对话内容为两人关于现实生活,艺术创作,生存环境及成长经历的深入对话。

行为部分:

1 小珂与子涵在展览开幕前半小时服用安眠药,躺在白布上沉睡。
2 小珂与子涵在沉睡之前,订好晚餐和酒水,设置两个圆桌,每桌10人。
邀请10人,另10人通过事先网上预约参与活动。展览现场于中午12点整布置好饭局桌椅,20人凭邀请函前来赴宴,与此同时,小珂与子涵在现场沉睡。饭局现场一台摄像机记录现场情况。饭局时长控制在2小时以内,下午2点展览空间清除饭局桌椅。

第二部分:《篡改》-舞蹈绘画现场表演
小珂与子涵沉睡过后苏醒过来,在印有两人对话内容的白布上,现场实施舞蹈绘画表演。小珂运用身体在白布上绘画,子涵现场继续书写。表演遵循两人真实的身体状况和感受,表演以小珂耗尽所有体能,无法再继续舞蹈为终止。
