Hypha Art and Self Gallery sponsored this project. Using the old residential unit as a base, Duan conducted a community art experiment in Hua Jia Di District. Each week, an artist or an art group was invited to occupy this apartment unit and activate the space with their art practice. The experiment lasted 34 weeks and launched 34 week-long exhibitions: 9 To 5, Wang En Lai: AirBnB, Gao Zhen Peng: Green Star Embassy, Onlooking! Onlooking!, The 1st Hua Jia Di Biennial, Shuangfei Art Center, Qin Guan Wei, 20-day Artist Incubator, Guo Ya Guan: Sevin Sins, Zhang Zhe Yi: Light Day Care, Cao Jiu yi: Hua Jia Di Folk Music, Zhang Li Tao: Drawing Li Tao, Sun Yi Dian, and Pia Pia Pia, Zhao Tin Bin: Welcome Spring. The art projects selection formed nuanced dialogues with the particular spatial arrangement of the apartment unit, and built meaningful connections with the larger communities beyond the 50 square meters exhibition space. 展览 Andy’s Joke, 2019, AC Gallery 艺术史上最著名的“玩笑”事件之一, 是1917年Duchamp的《喷泉》, 杜尚为一个小便池命名, 并把名字签在小便池上, 作为艺术作品进入公众视野。1964年后喷泉被做成复制品, 在世界各大博物馆和美术馆展出。此外, 安迪·沃霍尔的“玩笑之作”在今天已经成了另外一种意义上的经典, 卡特兰的“玩笑”在今天看来依然不过时的绵里藏针, “玩笑”从来不胜枚举。” 本次展览邀请了26位艺术家为大家带来自己的“玩笑”作品。玩笑是温情, 玩笑是无奈, 玩笑是智慧, 玩笑也可能仅仅只是玩笑而已。这些“玩笑”的背后均引发了“何为艺术”的讨论, 而只要这个问题还在被讨论着, 艺术就仍有广阔的创作空间和无限的可能。这次AC Gallery 为观众带来了26个艺术家的“玩笑”作品, 玩笑的背后是什么？需要每个观众自己去解读。 Duchamp’s Fountain in 1917 was one of the most famous jokes in art history. He gave a title to a urinal and signed his name on it. Later this urinal appeared in front of the public as a work of art. Since 1964, replications of the fountain have exhibited at many world famous museums and galleries. While Andy Warhol’s joke has become a new classic, Cattlan’s joke also stayed relevant, and there are still countless other jokes in art history that are worth our time revisiting. Andy’s Joke invited 26 artists and their “jokes”. We make jokes out of warmth, vulnerability, wisdom, or perhaps purely just out of jokes. These jokes inspire discussions around the crucial question of “what is art”; as long as the discussion continues, there will still be endless possibilities and borderless dimensions for more art to be created and generated. This time, AC gallery has brought to the audience 26 artistic jokes. What lies behind these jokes? The audience will have to come up with their own answers. ♦ 安东尼奥·迈克菲 Antonio McAfee (华盛顿哥伦比亚特区 D.C.)

The artist used copies of Thomas Eskew historical studio portraits as building material and created the portraits through abstract collaging inspired by some of his favorite musicians and their music making. The source portraits, originally exhibited as part of Du Bois and Calloway’s 1900 Paris World
