This first edition of SCL will continuously develop and expand for the future of Shanghai and all the curators will bring endless vitality.
上海策展人实验室(SCL)由上海美术学院主办、上海吴淞国际艺术城发展研究院承办、第12届上海双年展(上海当代艺术博物馆)协办,是一个面向年轻策展人的集中而富有挑战的驻留项目。其目标是以国际视野,面向未来,在多元文化背景下,用探索、实验、体验的方式培养能引领世界文化艺术潮流的策展人。同时,为实验性、批判性讨论搭建开放的论坛,探讨社会体系剧烈转变时期策展实践和跨文化的生态。
上海美术学院执行院长汪大伟致闭幕词
Wang Dawei, Executive Dean of Shanghai Academy of Fine Arts, gave the closing speech. He first expressed congratulations to every curator’s successful completion of the SCL program, and pointed out that this program symbolized the first attempt of interactive teaching between curators and lead professors and lectures. He also reiterated the goal of the SCL, that was, to build a Shanghai-based global circle and platform for curators from home and abroad, to seek in-depth cooperation with curators in the construction process of the Wusong International Art City, and to jointly create the international art ecosphere.
上海美术学院执行院长汪大伟致闭幕词,他对每一位策展人的结业成果表示祝贺,同时指出此次项目是策展人与导师互动教学实验的首次创新,并再次重申上海策展人实验室的目标,即希望在上海建立全球策展人的朋友圈和广阔平台,希望未来在上海吴淞国际艺术城的建设中有机会展开与策展人们的深度合作,共同致力于打造国际艺术生态圈。
本次项目主导师卡罗琳·克里斯托夫-巴卡基耶夫发言
Carolyn Christove- Bakargiev, the lead professor of this program, participated in the whole preparation process of this curators’ group program. Her involvement in discussions of curators provided curators with effective suggestions and guidance. She firstly expressed heartfelt thanks to all curators, for the new generation of young curators gave her many inspirations. Meanwhile, she was very satisfied with the outcome of the curators’ group program, which demonstrated the unique expression forms and emotional output forms of art in the digital era. To conclude, she sincerely hoped that audiences could enjoy this visual feast.
本次项目主导师卡罗琳·克里斯托夫-巴卡基耶夫(Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev)全程参与群策项目筹备过程,与策展人们展开课题研讨并带来有效的建议与指导。她对策展人们表示了感谢,特别指出从他们新一代年轻的策展人身上学到了很多。同时她对此次群策项目成果感到满意,展览呈现了数字时代下艺术的独特表现形式和情感输出形态,希望观众可以喜欢。
项目主导师李龙雨发言
项目总负责陈志刚主持本次开幕仪式
Yongwoo Lee, another lead professor, also made a summary of this program. He hoped the sharing and discussions in class could be historical life moments of the SCL and keep on fermenting. In Lee’s opinion, this curators’ group program, “It was a Dream of a Trip,” represented feelings of curators gathering in Shanghai and a “revolutionary” trip in their long career as a curator. Thus, he wished that audiences, after visiting this exhibition, could gain a more diverse artistic thinking of the cosmopolitan city, Shanghai.
主导师李龙雨(Yongwoo Lee)教授也对本次项目进行了总结,希望课程中的分享和研讨变成上海策展人实验室的历史生活片段,并持续发酵,而本次群策展“到此一游”(It was a dream of a trip)展览展现了策展人们来此(上海)一游的所感所想,是他们漫长策展实践中的“革命性”一游,希望观众们可以从中获得对国际都市上海的多元艺术思考。

The one-month tense but well-organized lectures, seminars, visits to artists’ studios, biennial exhibition and art fair, as well as cultural tours provided curators with an infinite curatorial thinking and resources from all different industries. Through constant discussions, the curators successfully accomplished the jointly-curated exhibition, “It was a Dream of a Trip.” This exhibition is about what is present and what is absent and the traffic and crossing of what moves in between. It brings together a variety of visual materials delimiting real from unreal, actual from virtual, past from present. It is an experiment of love and care in the face of an impossible dialogue and an attempt at finding harmony in the dissonant voices of 21 curators asked to collaborate and work together on a single exhibition. Participating artists: Aaajiao、Diego Ascencio、Ramiro Ávila、Richard Brautigan、Feng Chen、Zhang Ding、Display Distribute、Adelita Husni-Bey、Yan Jun 、Chen Leng、Hanne Lippard、Qinmin Liu、Lu Pingyuan、Mo Shaolong、Mountain River Jump!

经过一个月紧张而有序的讲座、研讨、艺术家工作室拜访、双年展体验、艺博会参观、文化考察等课程项目,参与策展人们收获了无限的策展思维与行业资源,并在不断的交流和研讨下策划了“到此一游”(It was a dream of a trip)展览。本次展览展现了存在与非存在的定义,以及两者之间流动的交叉状态。从虚幻到真实,从虚拟到现实,从现在到过去,汇集了各种视觉材料。这是一次关于爱与关怀的虚拟对话试验,试图从21位策展人的奇思妙想中找到和谐,来共同合作呈现一场独一无二的展览。参展艺术家有:Aaajiao、Diego Ascencio、Ramiro Ávila、Richard Brautigan、冯晨、张鼎、Display Distribute、 Adelita Husni-Bey、Yan Jun、陈冷、Hanne Lippard、刘沁敏、陆平原、莫少龙、Mountain River Jump!

LIVE PERFORMANCE
现场表演
完美将至
The Best Is Yet To Come
2018
Performance by Alvin Tran, with Garth Art and Hank Yu
The Best Is Yet To Come explores the unnoticed ways empathy can be extended. Through improvised structures and an exploration of movement language found in public parks, the performers look at how certain sites become places for gathering and how suppressed desire can be processed collectively. However, on the other hand, the performance also explores the experience of loss when spaces of intimacy lose their ground.
《完美将至》以一种被忽视的方式来延伸移情的表达方式,通过即兴的结构和公共公园中的运动语言探索,表演者旨在展现如何寻找集会的场所和如何处理集体被压抑的欲望。然而,另一方面,当亲密空间不存在时,表演也在探讨了失落的体验。
我美,你却活在现实的荒漠
You Live In The Desert Of The Real, But I Live In Beautiful
2018
Lecture performance by Ye Funa
Using the mobile phone application Meitu that instantly edits portraits to look beautiful, this lecture performance explores contemporary concepts of beauty and self-projection in the digital age.

真实如虚幻
The Real as Imaginary
Composer: Peter Ablinger
Performer: Viola Yip, solo voice
2012
Peter Ablinger’s The Real as Imaginary is a composition for a solo speaker and noise. The performer can have any voice type; however, the text should be translated into a language that the audience can understand. The performance noise track should be generated by the sum of frequencies in the recording of the performer’s recitation of the text. The noise track, then, needs to be further filtered through oscillated frequency bands to create “windows”. As a result, this noise track is played at a volume that is just loud enough to envelop the performer’s voice; but with the oscillated “windows”, the voice floats between the foreground, background and space in between.
彼得·阿林格的《真实如虚幻》由人声和噪音构成。表演者具有多种音质,但是,内容本身应该被翻译成观众可以理解的语言。表演的声音轨迹可以通过表演者对文本朗诵产生的录音频率之和产生。然后,声音轨迹会被不同的震荡频率过滤,创建“窗口”。如此,音轨会形成一种立体效果,包裹表演者的声音使其足够大,伴随着震动的“窗口”。声音在情景和空间中浮动。
The Real as Imaginary questions whether the “imaginary” and the “real” oppose each other in our perception. Ironically, perceiving reality relies on our imagination, as Ablinger expressed, “I had asked whether it would ever be possible to reach the real, whether it would ever be possible to break through the prison of my imaginations onto the real.” The monologue allows Ablinger to search for the idea of the “real”, and the relationship between the “real” and the “imaginary”. At the end of the text, he concludes that:
“The imaginary as real, and equally the real as imaginary – this would then be, so to say, a formula for the interpenetration of the two, a formula for the living and for the being-here.”
《真实如虚幻》质疑“想象”和“真实”在我们的感知中是否互相对立。更具讽刺的是,感知现实依赖于我们的想象力。正如阿林格所言,“我曾经问过是否可以突破想象的监狱抵达现实,”他的独白展现了他寻找“真实”的目的和探讨“真实”与“虚构“的关系。但在文本的最后,他得出结论:“真实如虚幻,正如虚幻包含着真实-也就是说,两者互相渗透,在这里形成了存在的准则。”
EXHIBITION PREFACE
展览前言
It was a dream of a trip
到此一游
Imagine waking up for the first time and against reason, the rest of the world holed up in their respective bedroom having the same experience. Perhaps, while at it, visualise and remember the last time you woke up to a surreal but also embodied feeling.
想象自己第一次醒来,没有缘由的,世界上的其他人也躲在各自的卧室里,与你有着相同的经历。也许,这种感觉,可以让你回想起上一次醒来时的超现实体验。
As an act of communal return to working together, this exhibition explores the intersection between the quakes and shivers of choreographing a scenario where the body is in the midst of reckoning and coming into being. A moment where the consciousness reloads through the cognitive head and across the feeling body. An instance of a fugue state where the eyes are enveloped with a foggy dream like mist. But as the eye squints the fog begins to lift, familiar shapes among daydream eccentricities begin to emerge.
作为一个群策项目,本次展览编排构建了一个虚幻场景来探讨个人行为的徘徊表现-意识通过头部的认知和身体的触感重新加载。眼睛被雾蒙蒙的梦笼罩着,呈现一种神游的状态。当眯着眼睛看到雾面上升,白日梦怪癖里那些熟悉的形状开始出现。
This exhibition is about what is present and what is absent and the traffic and crossing of what moves in between. It brings together a variety of visual materials delimiting real from unreal, actual from virtual, past from present. It is an experiment of love and care in the face of an impossible dialogue and an attempt at finding harmony in the dissonant voices of 21 curators asked to collaborate and work together on a single exhibition.
本次展览展现了存在与非存在的定义,以及两者之间流动的交叉状态。从虚幻到真实,从虚拟到现实,从现在到过去,汇集了各种视觉材料。这是一次关于爱与关怀的虚拟对话试验,试图从21位策展人的奇思妙想中找到和谐,来共同合作呈现一场独一无二的展览。
This exhibition consciously retains a resistance to clarity like the stuff of dreams and nightmares: it is a maze you can peer into any way you like. An exhibition that retreats and emerges in phantom waves, it gives back whatever you invest in it. As a marker of the first Shanghai Curators Lab we present our loose and unknotted collective experience: it was a dream of a trip.
本次展览特意保留了一种关于做梦或梦魇是否真实的抵抗:它提供了一个迷宫,你可以用任何喜欢的方式找到出路。投入其中,感受虚幻的浪潮带给你的回馈。作为第一届策展人实验室的首届群策展览,我们展示了一种松散而无结的集体体验:一场梦,到此一游。
