CALLING ALL ARTISTS! 上海艺术家申请！
我们诚邀你来参与“自备投影”（Bring Your Own Beamer， BYOB）上海。BYOB是一系列在全球各地举行在一夜间发生的展览，参展艺术家将安排自己的投影仪，通过利用光线、声音、装置和行为之间的互动探索投影这个媒介。在2010年，艺术家Rafeal Rozendaal和 Anne de Vries在柏林发起了BYOB，从此演变成一个国际性的DIY体验。
今年,BYOB 上海的参展艺术家们将投影于 1933 老场坊独特的建筑上。这栋楼房含有了中西建筑设计元素,反 映着旧上海的愿景和抱负。它原来的结构是一个屠宰场,但是在它悠久的历史里,也曾经是一个工厂及冷库。后 来它被修复及重新装修成它原来的状态,忠于它的历史性建筑,同时有效适应现代的利用。
鉴于这个建筑的历史(及上海在当代中国的独特角色),BYOB 上海希望探索“开始”和“结束”在“循环” 中象征意义。开始在什么时候结束?结尾在什么时候开始?时间和动态如何开始、结束及不断地循环?
循环的象征性及螺旋形的感觉贯穿着整个建筑——也许隐喻着在过去来来往往的生活。虽然这栋楼房的用途经历 过变化,但是它结构的核心保持完好,在上海这个不断发展的中国主要国际城市象征性地循环着。
我们鼓励 BYOB 上海的艺术家们使用任何创意性的手段去探索对于“开始/结束/循环”这个主题,从而与过 去、现在及未来这个无可避免的生命循环接洽,同时实验地运用影像及声音媒介。
1933 老场坊提供了种种不同能投影的可能性,包括墙面、地面、柱子、天花板、楼梯及走廊等。艺术家们应充 分考虑投影手段的多样化,比如使用卷轴机、幻灯机、投影仪、激光、灯光及其他装置、现场录像、音乐及声音 表演等。
请将作品方案，连同你的布展概念、作品样本或个人作品集，发送至[email protected]给策展团队。我们将根据总的主题考虑您的内容，并会及时与您联系，确认您是否可以参加。
参展艺术家需自备投影仪/投影机，视频播放器，扬声器和延长线等相关设备，以方便现场安装。我们不负责提供设备，以忠于BYOB展览系列的一贯DIY精神。
安装将于2014年11月8日早上10点开始。我们鼓励艺术家们及早到场，以防最后时刻一些不可预知的技术故障因素
撤展：所有艺术家必须在展览结束以后当晚拆卸自己的作品、投影装置及器材。所有东西必须清理掉，必须回复楼房及家俬原来的状态，不能有任何损害。艺术家自己承担任何属于他范围内修复的费用。
所有参与者必须确保自己所拥有的器材。请无时无刻地看管好自己的器材，以确保你的作品及楼房不受损害。
You are invited to submit to Bring Your Own Beamer (BYOB) Shanghai. BYOB is a series of one-night international exhibitions where artists bring their own beamers (projectors) and explore the medium of projection by creating a collaborative happening of moving light, sound, installation and performance. Visit byobworldwide for documentation.
This year, BYOB Shanghai will project onto the unique architecture of 1933老场坊. Its original structure was intended as an operating abattoir (or slaughterhouse), but in years passing also functioned as a factory and cold storage facility. It was later restored and refurbished to its current state.
In light of the history of the building (and Shanghai’s unique role in contemporary China), BYOB Shanghai wants to explore the symbolic nature of beginnings and endings on loop. Where do beginnings end? Where do endings begin? How do time and motion begin and end, again and again?
BYOB Shanghai artists are encouraged to explore this BEGIN / END / LOOP theme, in hopes of engaging in the past, present and future inevitable cycles of life, while also referencing the video/film and sound mediums they will be experimenting with.
1933 老场坊 offers a myriad of possibility for projection, on walls, floors, pillars, ceilings, stairs and projecting walkways. Artists should consider pushing DIY boundaries in using the unique architecture of this slaughterhouse to explore the medium of projection through various means, including slide-projectors, overhead projectors, video/film projectors, lasers, moving light, installation, live VJ-ing and music/sound.
