In Chengdu, factory 420 is being pulled down to make way for multi-story buildings with luxury flats. Scenes of factory operations, of the workforce, and of buildings stripped bare and then razed, are inter-cut with workers who were born in the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s telling their stories - about the factory, which manufactured military aircraft, and about their work and their lives, A middle-aged man visits his mentor, now elderly; a woman talks of being a 19-year-old beauty there and ending up alone. The film concludes with two young people talking, each the child of workers, each relaying a story of one visit to a factory.

It was also the year that Andy Warhol, the pop-art legend who paid homage to consumerism through iconophilia such as the Gold Marilyn Monroe and the Campbell’s soup cans, visited China.<br />Warhol was not alone on his journey. With him came his collaborator and personal photographer Christopher Makos, who returns to Beijing this May to exhibit the photos he took during this famous visit.<br /><br />We spoke to Makos about the trip he made 26 years ago to a city almost unrecognizable compared to what it is today. Recollecting his memories of a China where Hongqi (Red Flag) cars rolled up dusty streets and students’ feet strolled in white canvas sneakers rather than in Nike Airs, Makos described driving in from the airport in terms of "seeing all the bicycles" – a far cry from the congested traffic we’re used to on the Airport Expressway.<br /><br />And if Warhol were still alive today, where would they visit? Makos’s reply was simple enough: "[Go back to] all the places that we visited together, then see all the new architecture and visit with all the new cool Chinese artists."<br />By "cool Chinese artists," Makos is referring to luminaries such as "Ai Weiwei, Feng Zhengjie, the artist that does the photos of himself with all the flies on his face [Zhang Huan]."<br /><br />But if Warhol were alive today, he’d doubtless be intrigued by the consumerism and materialism which have crept into the pantheon of Chinese contemporary art: the shocking prices, the Shenzhen Dafen painting village that exports more than a million replicas worldwide, the repetition in producing visual icons on canvas (for instance, Yue Minjun’s laughing men). All these phenomena are on track with Warhol’s apothegm on commercial art: "Making money is art and working is art and good business is the best art."<br />All this is intensified by employing mass production methods, including silkscreen prints – not only does the duplication of the same image not eradicate the aura of art, but it brought Warhol to the altar of contemporary art. Whether people love him or hate him, they simply can’t avoid him.<br /><br />As a close collaborator with the silver-maned artist, Makos points out the linkage between the two different commercialisms behind China’s contemporary art and Warhol’s: "They are the same. The two have finally met face to face. Andy was mass market, just [as] the culture when he visited was mass market. But at that time, it was mass in a political sense; now it is mass in a consumer sense."<br />Makos’ mentor was Man Ray, a photographer/painter who straddled Dadaism and surrealism. Yet Makos’ work does not resemble Ray’s experimentation with rayographs and fathoms of superimposition, nor is his photography influenced by Warhol’s nearly impressionist snapshots. In fact, he is quite the opposite.<br /><br />"I was the teacher, Andy was the student. Also, Andy always would appropriate photos from newspapers … magazines, and when we met he was much more interested in learning how to take pictures for himself."<br /><br />Andy Warhol in China will be shown from May 24 to Sep 7 at Timezone 8. The book by Christopher Makos, with an introduction by Ai Weiwei, is available at Timezone 8.<br /></span></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4943831614005964841.post-66756458012821429882008-06-01T21:20:00.000-07:002008-11-13T10:09:09.859-08:00Flickering Lights 2.0: Shower<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2N8NX8nCKYdZBo-OaMaCJa6u_SgTTQyuTTlw4u-VLEUoyqccL7NIITHFr-b5yRyfjQDDixUXNpj0wz1GpPSjURSY8oSDz6yStZQ1YRNwVRvCqcWjpviAugKp8TbRPRNBHInk3g3ymlGs/s1600-h/Shower_poster_WEB.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2N8NX8nCKYdZBo-OaMaCJa6u_SgTTQyuTTlw4u-VLEUoyqccL7NIITHFr-b5yRyfjQDDixUXNpj0wz1GpPSjURSY8oSDz6yStZQ1YRNwVRvCqcWjpviAugKp8TbRPRNBHInk3g3ymlGs/s400/Shower_poster_WEB.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5210104041279082722" /></a><br /><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">June 2, 2008, 8:00pm @ B.A.S.E.</span><br /><br /></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4943831614005964841.post-19522302568962156142008-05-19T18:04:00.000-07:002008-11-13T10:09:10.008-08:00Talking Heads Lecture 8.0<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrvM7O-ZU9M5ithmlqHHQWVkEVQ0olcmdG_GmoOM5daTMyUQJEp2RzUB73ueflvB8kBVyUrT6bu8WLBtuhg782jwvPt2_fvGz3KkPeflKRdMkNHI3UsUUkLhaNkN7r5hhx6tumBFLQsgw/s1600-h/Fei_Wang_WEB.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrvM7O-ZU9M5ithmlqHHQWVkEVQ0olcmdG_GmoOM5daTMyUQJEp2RzUB73ueflvB8kBVyUrT6bu8WLBtuhg782jwvPt2_fvGz3KkPeflKRdMkNHI3UsUUkLhaNkN7r5hhx6tumBFLQsgw/s400/Fei_Wang_WEB.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5210097157105909506" /></a><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>May 20, 2008, 7:00pm @ B.A.S.E.<br /></div><br />FEI WANG, Chinese Archi-Image Phenomena<div><br /></div>Fei Wang is the co-founder of Chinese Archi-Image Phenomena [CAIP], a consortium of urban image theorists and architects speculating on architecture and image culture in contemporary China. The practice of CAIP exists in a world of extreme simulacra, as historical footnotes are shuffled and image realities are becoming perversely pervasive. Fei Wang is a practicing architect and an emerging architectural theorist working between Western visuality and its representation as it encounters the high-speed urbanization of China through the lens types of 18th-Century Chinese perspective, architectural simulacra and phenomenology.<br />Fei Wang is currently a Teaching Fellow at School of Architecture, North Carolina State University in Raleigh, North Carolina. He received a B.Arch. from Tongji University in Shanghai, China, and a M.Arch. from Virginia Tech at Washington-Alexandria Architecture Center, and a second M.Arch. in History and Theory from McGill University, Montreal, Canada.<br /><br />He has practiced architecture in Shanghai, Alexandria, Virginia and Princeton, New Jersey. His work has been recognized with numerous academic student awards and competition entries. His design and research projects have been exhibited in China, Germany, the United States and Canada, including Shanghai Art Museum, Aedes Galerie in Berlin and McGill University. His current project Thaumatorama was exhibited this year at North Carolina State University.<br /><br />Fei Wang is a translator. He has translated many contemporary theoretical English texts into Mandarin Chinese, including: "The Tell-Tale Detail" by Marco Frascari, "Is This For Real" by Robert Somol and he is currently translating "Ethics and Poetics in Architecture Education" by Alberto Perez-Gomez. He writes intensively in Chinese and has published many articles and translations in Time+Architecture in Shanghai, Domus, Chinese version in Beijing and Urbanism & Architecture in Ha’erbin, where he acts as overseas editor and book reviewer respectively.

We should study the methods and works that developers and designing institutes are doing; what is really happening out of the so-called architecture circle so we can define what is the real architecture of architecture. Not just combining the West-East commonplaces on architecture and urbanism.<br /><br />What we see and experience today in China is a rapidly changing context. But within that, the ideology in the Chinese mind is kept, that is the most important. I find this quiet exciting. The Chinese recently have been more and more diversified; in Chinese philosophy we call this big unity and small difference. I find it a very effective way for analyzing the current Chinese condition; you can find so much diversity but paradoxically also with having more diversity the invisibles clues of Chinese ideology are disappearing due to all these mutations.<br /><br />I don't think tabula rasa is a nice thing of course, because that behavior kills all diversity. We can use the strategy from architecture, from very advanced architectural thinking that aspires to keep some kind of context. The context is not what we find in hutong area; that is just a very popular topic in the current discourse in Beijing. But for the local society and the people that diversity should have more opportunities in so-called New Urbanism. This Chinese New-Urbanism should keep this kind of diversity in a totally not organized way. I am not so much believing in spatial structure, although we are always doing it. That is also why I quit architecture to do media.<br /><br />Jian Jun Editor-in-Chief Urban China, interview with People's Architecture, Amsterdam, June 13, 2006<br /><br /><br />for more: <a href="http://www.peoplesarchitecture.com/jiang_jun_BIO.pdf">http://www.peoplesarchitecture.com/jiang_jun_BIO.pdf</a></div><div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4943831614005964841.post-59432486546815842812007-05-31T12:16:00.001-07:002008-11-13T10:09:10.839-08:00Talking Heads Lecture 6.0<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPY92fAJr7nif45gr5fvHbqCSBM3SuLwRCLRo3ZP7knj05i_dNE4sQyNwkDOpQHLzSeEyiE5azIn478k1655-6Fs1PeCg6AW911m469k_qTmCpG4_h-h7Lt89KPNRk3rvXd8GajizJVgE/s1600-h/lectureposter6.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5070805980446189026" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPY92fAJr7nif45gr5fvHbqCSBM3SuLwRCLRo3ZP7knj05i_dNE4sQyNwkDOpQHLzSeEyiE5azIn478k1655-6Fs1PeCg6AW911m469k_qTmCpG4_h-h7Lt89KPNRk3rvXd8GajizJVgE/s400/lectureposter6.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />Coy Howard is the principal of Coy Howard & Company.

Based in Hong Kong since 1996, both architects epitomize a new breed of architects who are rethinking the socio-political agencies of architecture. Their projects involve critical analyses of spatial and temporal anomalies and documentation of the ways in which human beings subvert and appropriate spaces for their own uses. A sense of play exists in much of their collaborative work, through a practice that includes text, drawing, photography, video and the creation of new platforms of communication. Running counter to the local architectural circle, MAP office’s mission is to bring forward a set of fresh alternatives to a region mainly preoccupied with “just-in-time” industrial production and efficiency.<br /><br />Laurent Gutierrez is an Associate Professor, leading the Master in Design Strategies and the Environment and Interior Department, in the School of Design, at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University.<br /><br />Valérie Portefaix is the principal of MAP office, and teaches in the Master in Design program, in the School of Design, at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University.<br /><br />For more visit: <a href="http://www.map-office.com/">http://www.map-office.com/</a><br /><div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4943831614005964841.post-38185461007040683432007-05-23T21:34:00.000-07:002007-05-31T13:09:09.694-07:00This is B.A.S.E.Welcome to Beijing. This is B.A.S.E 2007.<br /><br />B.A.S.E. has reopened its doors to students of Architecture and Planning under the thin shed roof of the 12 meter high, 625 meter space in the Urban Village of Cao Chang Di. Across the street from the artist (and now “architect”) Ai Weiwei, and amongst the fresh and substantive new Arts District, B.A.S.E. is situated in the epicenter of new creative thinking in Asia. The space is currently being subtly refreshed, “wired” wirelessly, equipped, and ready for early 21st century studio work. Within the space, under the curved ceiling will be- give or take - 30 participants.<br /><br />Additionally, in the Spring of 2007, ACE Gallery <a href="http://www.acegallery.net/">www.acegallery.net</a>, (Los Angeles, Beverly Hills, New York) will launch its Beijing Gallery in cooperation with B.A.S.E. in the space next door. ACE currently exhibits artists such as Robert Wilson, Tim Hawkinson, Charles Fine, Tara Donovan, Dennis Hopper, and Keith Sonnier, and has collaborated with the Guggenheim and the Whitney in curating exhibitions.<br /> A set of courses will be laid on the table ready for action - courses of action leading to dis-course, recourse,“of course”, and other futures yet unknown. Interjections in the course of this ongoing work will take the form of events, performances, forums, exhibitions, happenings, parleys, pow wows, visitors, and treks out and back to the B.A.S.E..Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
