China is the most gentrificated country in the world. All over China new high-rises arise without consideration of old houses which gets deconstructed on many places. The traditional and social chinese life (Hutong-life etc.) gets in many parts destroyed. For no one this gentrification is stoppable. The only chance for me as an artist “to take the power back” is to destroy an old chinese house by myself as a massive critic. While i was destroying the old chinese house i let these workers filming who would normally dismantle the house. So i changed the function of an artist and a worker.

WALK-IN-PROGRESS

A project by Institut für Raumexperimente, Berlin

17.1.2014: opening, silent walk and public encounter, 10.2.-10.3.2014: exhibtion open to the public

The Institut für Raumexperimente (Institute for Spatial Experiments, Berlin) traveled to Hong Kong, Shenzhen/Dongguan, Guangzhou and Beijing from 9.-25.1.2014. Walk-in-progress is an experiment timing space, primed by the experiences of traveling to meet, leaning into spatial relationships inveigling mental distances, generating moving stories, motions and emotions of scale, speeds slowing, perceptual political contracts of effort and energy, attention spanning directionality, agencies agency. Walk-in-progress shares ideas motion. Co-produced and hosted by Vitamin Creative Space, Guangzhou, open to the public from 10.2.-10.3.2014.

The projects are ideas and interventions, images action. Some are precise statements, others errant dreams, others personal distortions and curated delusions. Some are autonomous projects soon to be realized, unknown characters operated on by translations, parts carried and realized in other places, co-authored in the approach, attempts and pitches for projects to come, reflections given to fade.
