展覽開幕暨「新人或真人」單元影像放映

Exhibition Opening & Screening of Special Assemblage “New Being or Real Being”

【單元簡介About “New Being or Real Being” Section】

《44月報》第9期和第10期重建了激進理論和實踐的本土／跨國歷史，例如，《新世紀》（巴黎出版）和《天義報》（東京出版），大量的翻譯、 辯論，由中國無政府主義者在法國創辦的第一家豆腐工廠——這些發生在20世紀初的倡議推動了跨越地域、族群、語言的交流，同時促進著本土安那其的發展。 1912年，師復及其同伴在廣州創建了第一個本土團體「晦鳴學舍」，發行《晦鳴錄》，而到我們這個時代，「44月報」及其同伴的活動大量在廣州發生，這顯示「時空伴隨」仍以某種意味深長的方式延續。

「新人或真人」單元以「44月報」的創作為線索，串聯起來自廣州的一部分相關實踐和自出版物、影像，分別來自工藝、萬青、飛書、刺紙、副本製作、qua、一起練功、 芝麻開門等。 本單元呈現的是2016年至今，蓬勃生長的替代性、社群性基礎設施的地域切面。

The 9th and 10th issues of 44 Monthly reconstruct the local/global historical narratives of radical theories and actions. Activism and advocacy in the early 20th century facilitated exchanges among different geographical regions and ethnic-lingustic groups and simultaneously fostered the growth of local anarchism in China. These historical traces include the publication of Les Temps Nouveaux (published in Paris, and renamed as Nouveau Siècle) and Journal of Natural Justice (published in Tokyo), a myriad of cultural translation and intellectual debates, and the very first tofu factory in France founded by Chinese anarchists. In 1912, Shifu Liu and his comrades established the first Chinese anarchist organization Cock-Crow Society in Guangzhou and published Cock-Crow Journal (Huiminglu in Chinese). Fast forward to the present, their descendant 44 Monthly remains active in the political and social experiments in the Guangzhou scene. The momentum of the early 20th century outlives its era and gains its afterlife today.

Our display section, “New Being or Real Being”, pursues the thread of 44 Monthly production and interrelated practices, self-publications, and moving images from different collectives, Gongyi, Wanqing, Flying Books, Prickly Paper, Instance, qua, Energy Waving Collective, Abracadabra!, among others. This section demonstrates the vibrance of alternative culture and communal infrastructure in the Guangzhou region from 2016 onwards.

地下室的三條娃娃魚（口述版*）

Three Giant Salamanders in the Basement (with audio description*)

50‘15’‘，2022

*口述版為視障友好影像。

《地下室的三條娃娃魚》以虛構的方式拍攝了《44月報》第九期文本寫作者將寫作拓展到上海安培洋行空間的過程及討論，寫作者們在空間寫作與拍攝過程中也逐漸入戲 ，化身為1938年以藝術之名躲進安培洋行的安那其流亡者，也化身為投胎到三千年後性別不定的「新人」或「真人」。

Three Giant Salamanders in the Basement fictionally captures the process and discussion of the writers of the ninth issue of 44 Monthly as they expanded their writing into Ampere Foreign Firm, a historic building in Shanghai. The writers gradually became involved during writing and shooting, and transformed into anarchists in exile who hid in Ampere Foreign Firm in the name of art in 1938, and also transformed into "new being" or "real being" who will be reincarnated three thousand years later with an uncertain gender.

一起練功同學錄 2020-2022 Energy Waving Collective, 2020-2022

14‘28’‘，2022

2020 年初新冠疫情期間，有感於公共空間的急劇壓縮對個人、社群聯結的打斷，和對低成本養護身心、紓解鬱困的需求，幾個好朋友開始在居所定期聚會，一起習練內家拳（鬆身、站樁、推手），交流關心的話題。後逐漸走出家門，公開召集，遊動於各種街角的替代空間、公園空地，希冀將此方法從傳統等級師承語境中脫嵌，平等傳遞給更多身處不同情境和觀念的人群，強調對彼此身心狀態的覺知、傾聽和非應激反應，通過與身體的持續相處，培養、練習共同感知和實踐默契。

「一起練功」由馮俊華、萬青、歐飛鴻發起，活躍於廣州，也經由參與的朋友們自發帶到地球的不同地區。在道家的思想中，「柔」與「弱」是能量得以生成、流動、傳遞的關竅，對「柔」與「弱」的恐懼是首先要克服的心情。2023 年，「一起練功」發起了「同柔共弱」，在日常練功外，以不同的形式和方法來呈現、討論對「柔」「弱」的理解，包括邀請共同創作，組織放映、演出、工作坊等交流，嘗試在慕強的世界中豐富對生活的感知，探索多元互助形態與反應方式。

形式活潑，效果開心，

性別友好，互相傾聽，

花式相處，激發身心！

During the early stage of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, the disappearance of public space had disrupted personal and communal connections. In response to a compelling need for low-cost health and mental care, a few of our good friends initated gatherings regularly at their homes to practice internal Chinese martial arts (Neijia Quan in Chinese pronunciation) — relaxation, standing exercise, and pushing hands and exchange topics of concern. Subsequently, in order to meet more new friends, their gathering transitioned to street corners, for example, alternative spaces, open spaces in parks, and so forth. To adhere to the principle of equality and counter hierarchical mastery from a master (shifu) to the disciples in traditional martial arts education, Energy Waving Collective seeks to make martial arts more accessible to peoples of different contexts and worldviews. To bring to the fore the mutual awareness of physical and mental state, attentive listening, and stress-free responses, their gatherings cultivate collective bodily perception and tacit understanding through constant bodily interactions.

Initiated by Chunwah Fung, Wanqing, and Feihung Ou, Energy Waving Collective is active in Guangzhou and has been spontaneously spread to different parts of the world by participants. In Taoist thinking, “softness” and “weakness” are regarded as the gateways to the generation, flow, and transmission of energy. Overcoming the fear of being soft and weak is of paramount importance. In 2023, Energy Waving Collective initiated a project “Together with Softness and Weakness” (Tongrou Gongruo in Chinese pronunciation) to manifest and explore the notions of softness and weakness in various forms beyond the realm of martial arts, including collaborative creative work, screenings, performance, and workshops. In opposition to the capacity-oriented ideology, such an initiative enriches our apprehension of daily life and help us explore various forms of mutual aid and reactions.

Lively and joyful!

Embrace gender-inclusive environment and active listening!

Interact playfully to stimulate body and mind!
 

我請警察散個步 A Walk Invitation to the Police

9’，2022

公園推手，突遇查驗身分證，在對方不交代任何理由並圍堵的情況下我提出一個交換條件：一起散個步。

While pushing hands(Tai Chi) in the park, the police suddenly came to check our IDs without any reasons. I offered a quid pro quo when I was besieged by the assistant police: a walk together.
