Both Antonio and Ye Su were born in 1983. They are the same age, and have both engaged and formed conversation with each other\u2019s cultures in their own ways. Ye Su participated in a group show at <\/span>Bridge Projects<\/span><\/i> in LA. Because of the pandemic, he would not be able to make it in person, and has resorted to international shipping and the internet to complete the exhibition. Antonio once visited Beijing with his class when he was in graduate school. During the Zoom meeting, he shared his documentation and archives of that trip, including photos of the group visiting an exhibition called <\/span>East West South North<\/span><\/i>. Although in 2020 we are observing trends of deglobalization and domestic and international travel is heavily impacted, online exchange can still provide a virtual platform where people from different corners of the world can gather together. <\/span>Empathy Zone<\/span><\/i> series is a good example of the concept <\/span>East West South North<\/span><\/i>. This kind of cross-border online and offline exhibition might be a new trend for future art activities globally.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This is a very important question. Perhaps you have to let go most of the things you\u2019ve learned at school\u2013personal influence from professors, mature thoughts and theories you\u2019ve heard from different artists, I think one must stay really alert to and skeptical of these established authorities. As a male artist who pays close attention to social trends, I feel extra skeptical about power and authorities. Another thing that one has to let go of is the habit of not paying attention to the occasional and accidental. The education one receives at school often tells you in theory how things should pan out, but they rarely count in the impact of accidents and chances.<\/span><\/p>\n

I know at least one or two people that have gone to CAFA and they both repeated the same thing\u2013it\u2019s very traditional. I was educated in a very traditional way in a dark room, photography in college. In grad school I started doing more multimedia stuff. Even though I was educated very traditionally and found ways to do photography very traditionally, I still realized that I had to forget some of the things I learned. From undergrad to grad school, it was an important phase of re-education. Going from grad school to not schooling it was another level of re-education. I have to forget what I learned, have to forget, exactly like what you\u2019ve talked about, through life and circumstances.<\/span><\/p>\n

I found a photo blog I did when I was in grad school. My class went to Beijing for Spring break to do a proposed project. I did a lot of self portraits throughout the two weeks. The hotel was close to Temple of Heaven. I took all my portraits in parks\u2013Temple of Heaven, Sun, Moon, Earth\u2013I tried to go around to different scope and spaces to take self-portraits. The first portrait I took was on Bei Da\u2019s (Peking University) campus. I had a Bei Da student as my assistant, I stood in like\u2013a part of the campus that was old abandoned faculty housing. So I stood on the side of the street where a tree is missing, you know there should have been rows of trees, and I was naked and I put flour on the bottom half of my body, like the trees that have white bottoms for parasites and worms so they don\u2019t eat them, the student was across the street, taking the picture and getting set up, and there was this old lady was walking by, she saw me, and she screamed and ran away the other way.<\/span><\/p>\n

The title of the work is \u201cForeign Component\u201d. It\u2019s about us being foreigners interjecting through self-portraits in different places. Doing these awkward things to fit into the environment even though it stood out quite clearly. I got into trouble taking off my shirt at a Buddhist temple.

It is indeed quite crowded in Yong He Gong Lhama Temple. However, I don\u2019t think it should be too much of a problem in the eyes of the Buddha. All the four elements are void. We cannot dwell on forms or concepts. The Buddha should be ok with you taking off your clothes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Beijing is a very crowded place and sometimes you have to take creating street art like fighting a guerrilla war. I\u2019ve done this kind of work\u2013painting big text slogans on the surface of public buildings\u2013the police, the law enforcement and sometimes property owners and civilians often chase after us, so we had to run away as fast as possible. When we had to confront the police, we would try to negotiate. We can wipe off all the letters we wrote, but please do not continue to blame or punish us. The police could be friendly actually\u2013all they wanted was for us to restore the space to its original state. But one time a friend of ours took out his phone and started filming our interaction with the police for his record. Then the police were agitated\u2013they were worried images of them being uploaded to the internet causing unwanted consequences.<\/span><\/p>\n

Filming is saving us in the US. It is so important to have things on tape\u2013great deal for changing public awareness.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I primarily am a portrait artist. Everything that\u2019s happening this year\u2013the pandemic, protests that’ve been going on in the US\u2013I\u2019ve been making work during all of that that is personally and emotionally unresolved. I don\u2019t know how I feel about them quite yet, but pieces I\u2019ve been making have been wrapped up in emotions that I haven’t quite figured out. This brings some changes to the way I create works\u2013I am still based on my research in American history but it\u2019s a bit more visceral and rougher and unresolved. As a result of my work being unresolved, my portraitures become more about the inside of a person. The inside of a body, feelings, unresolved emotions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I agree with what you just said\u2013art should be closely related to its reality but cannot be simple representations of it. Perhaps the work itself should be part of that reality, it should open part of the reality. This is not easy to do. Through studying the history, we can make lots of connections\u2013including your research about black history, it all ties back to the current moment. It is history research, but it connects to the current reality. They feed off one another.<\/span><\/p>\n

These are all photo transfers rooted in research about the history of women who went on strike in 1801 in Atlanta. They are rooted in American history, but also stuff that\u2019s happening in the summer when a lot of things were burning. I couldn\u2019t help but make things that look charred and burned over the summer. It\u2019s a mix between learned history of African American history and my family so it stays personal and organic.<\/span><\/p>\n

My process is\u2013I print out inkjet print. I put glue on the prints. The glue dries and I peel off the glue. It has a copy of the image on the glue and the print. Then I coat the ink side of the glue with Acrylic medium, then soak that piece into water, then that brings down the glue and leaves the image on the medium, and dry it, and collage all the pieces together. Acrylic medium is often used to make copies of records and vinyl. It starts off as liquid but when it dries it becomes a piece of plastic.<\/span><\/p>\n

Image has to be transformed in order to become art. Many works of art that are research based or social based will need visualizations through some kind of image. In our day-to-day world we are already used to understanding our surroundings through consuming mass-produced images such as news, video, film. Artistic ways of approaching images can include these mass-produced forms, but have to go beyond that. A challenge I face in creating work is\u2013how can I turn the images of some social events that I am following into alternative images? At the same time, these alternative images appear to be more precisely, more directly intersecting with the points I want to make. So I find using images in my work a challenging task. The challenging part is, that images take on different forms and expectations when perceived in different contexts and mediums. You can\u2019t simply take the same formula and expect it to work the same way under different circumstances.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When we perceive images of a certain form, for example if it\u2019s about black history\u2013perhaps different people would interpret the same images differently. In my work 07.2017, I presented images of people with black skin but didn\u2019t explicitly frame them under any agenda. Among these images there was prominent political figure such as Former United States Secretary of State Condoleezza “Condi” Rice, some athletes, as well as young black women from African tribes and the Middle East who had to marry a young age\u2013what I wanted for people is that they can situate themselves in this field and come up with their own agenda and interpretation. What are the themes in common and why?<\/span><\/p>\n

Many conversations about race on a variety of levels\u2013there seems to be either a conflation or negation or\u2013just like um, a total kind of absence of the biological scientific base of this. We only have dark skin because my ancestors grew up near the equator. We needed the black skin to\u2013as an evolutionary trait that evolved to protect us from UV2 rays from the sun so we don\u2019t get skin cancer so easily\u2013as we spread across the planet away from the equator, some\u2019s skin got lighter and so on and so forth. I think people often negate \/ conflate the practicality of having black skin, to cultures applying meanings and perceptions to that. Literally an evolutionary sunscreen against meanings of this fucked up culture.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A lot of people in the US don\u2019t know much about black American\u2019s history. That\u2019s done on purpose. It is intentionally not told in a certain way because quite often it wasn\u2019t black people writing those histories. American history is quite curated and crafted. One thing to keep in mind is that we can\u2019t take anything for granted. And we better off to do our own personal digging in American history that we want or that we are curious about. So I see the activity of other people researching and making work about black history depending on the motivation in doing this work\u2013empathetic or research or knowledge gathering type of activity.<\/span><\/p>\n

I think it\u2019s good that people who are not black and from other cultures want to gauge in conversation and do the research to understand. It brings this Empathy Zone project to full circle\u2013the root of it is empathy. People just want to know and understand, and a lot of people know and understand by engaging with the material. I think it\u2019s quite necessary. It\u2019s understandable that it\u2019s fearful. But that\u2019s part of why a lot of people don’t know about it even in America.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Sobia and Shaofeng are both very critical conversationists. Their Empathy Zone exchange sets itself in the context of several global trends: the pandemic, deglobalization, the US Election, anxiety, and hope. The artists shared their anxiety, pessimism, and doubt, as well as the ways they see hope and opportunities to rebuild. This strong faith stems from the artists\u2019 beliefs in being \u201cpositive pessimist\u201d, accepting and allowing discomfort to drive reflections and creativity.\u00a0 They are extremely hopeful, as they are confident in dismantling what\u2019s not working and inventing a brighter, more just future.<\/span><\/p>\n

In 2003, there was a heated discussion around globalization. I was a high school student in China. That year, China became part of the WTO, our soccer team entered the World Cup for the first time, and we won the bid for the 2008 Olympics. To the generation born in the 80s, these three incidents are important collective memories. Another phenomenon that came with the era of globalization was the occurrence of pandemics. The discussions around globalization, in 2020 and 2003 alike, are against the backdrop of a global pandemic: SARS in 2003 and COVID19 in 2020.<\/span><\/p>\n

What\u2019s different this time is that people are actually anxious. One problem we are facing is deglobalization. This year it\u2019s very difficult for people to \u201cempathize\u201d. Many young people in China applied to study abroad and were accepted, but now cannot travel. So their study abroad becomes an online remote experience instead. A friend of mine who was accepted at Cornell University was actually able to travel and live there. Even so, he lived a solitary lifestyle and almost didn\u2019t leave his apartment for 6 months. For him, he lives the same exact lifestyle as he was in China, only on Cornell Campus. This seems absurd. The intelligentsia in China feels very pessimistic. I am curious to know, for artists in DC, especially those with an immigrant background, how do you view the new trends of globalization?<\/span><\/p>\n

The pandemic has made us so aware of the ways that globalization has led to cultural hegemony. For me it\u2019s something I started thinking about earlier in the pandemic when I was stuck inside my house in DC. I could only access the woods. Rock Creek Park was the only place I could go to and by myself. I was thinking: How long have I been here that I haven’t paid attention to the local area I am in? When I could face that reality personally in my life, then I started thinking deeply about how we are as individuals as a culture disengaged with our local culture, local economy, even communities? How are we developing that network worldwide but not always in a positive way?<\/span><\/p>\n

Something as simple as not knowing that close by there was a farm where I could just go and pick up flowers, and bring it to my friends\u2019 doorstep, when we were just used to ordering things from other cities, other states, other countries.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I think about how anxious we have become about our futures in that way. What are we missing that is right in front of us? It\u2019s pushing this deeper in ourselves in a way. At least for me, the pandemic opened up global, political and social conversations; especially for the US it has been interesting to finally have its reckoning with white supremacy, and realizing that racial injustice cannot be escaped. People can\u2019t make excuses about being busy, forgetting or not knowing.\u00a0 Because it\u2019s right in front of us. I think there\u2019s been both positive and negative, everything being in our face.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A few days ago, artist Xu Bing came back from New York. His studio in New York used to have an open floor plan. After the pandemic he put up a fence. Every day, he sits in his little courtyard, bathing in the sun, doing some writing. As he was writing, he became very interested in the trees in the courtyard, so he wrote a novel based on the history of that particular tree. This made me think of Sobia\u2019s story in the woods. These examples are in conversations. Everything is alive, wanting to converse with plants and rocks\u2013this is also the result of the pandemic.<\/span><\/p>\n

Xu Bing also said, contemporary art is like a virus. At the beginning it throws society into chaos, and slowly becomes the mainstream and status quo, eventually becoming the classics. Our understanding of \u201cclassics\u201d are summaries of the rebels in the past. This is very much like how a virus evolves and mutates. Slowly it becomes part of the system, becomes normalized. This has been inspiring to me: what we are doing now\u2013creating art\u2013has to be work that causes troubles and problems.<\/span><\/p>\n

I am sitting with a lot of personal uncertainty about the role of an artist in a moment like now. Also thinking about what are the ways we artists have participated in the very system we wanted to challenge with our works. I am feeling a lot of anxiety around how art has become commodified and a part of the capitalist structure that doesn’t really value community or\u00a0 ethics as much as we would like it to.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I have anxiety around personally engaging with art institutions moving forward. And collectively we are all sitting with so much uncertainty, because we know that it\u2019s not working. I personally feel that that\u2019s not the art world I want to be part of.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The community that I want to be part of is one where they understand art as a way of life, not as a career or profession only that perpetuates the oppressive system. Is this a shared anxiety? What is your anxiety?<\/span><\/p>\n

I can very much relate. Sobia, you are dealing with a lot of self-doubt and frustration. As artists, we have to experience states of desperation and hopelessness, but we also have to be able to depart from such states. We cannot dwell on them. As Foucault said, we all have to be positive pessimists. We can feel pessimistic, but we have to act proactively. If we try to outline a map of pessimism in human history, we will find out that most great artists and literaturists, of the East or the West, are all positive pessimists.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We are different from the previous generation when talking about the future\u2013we are still young, we have time and endless possibilities. The problem of anxiety is closely related to the uncertainty we feel towards our future. Sobia\u2019s situation reminds me of my first two years out of\u00a0 art school. Because uncertainty perpetuates anxiety, my way of dealing with this was to be more and more faithful. There\u2019s nothing wrong with setting the tone of one\u2019s life with pessimism and anxiety\u2013pessimism and anxiety prompts one to reflect on fundamental questions related to art. Artists are bound to live in uncomfortable zones\u2013this discomfort drives them to create new works. In fact, many great artists peaked at the age of thirty. That indeed is the most anxious and unsettling age for many people. I want to view pessimism and anxiety in a positive light. I want to cherish the time when I can still be bothered by them and think about unusual things. Many established artists, when they have secured the \u201cestablished\u201d pedestal, would stop making contributions to the field.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why do we make art? How do we make art? Once we enter this field, it\u2019s easy to have anxiety like this. But later I have conquered this problem. When I can\u2019t find answers to it, I will simply ignore it. I no longer seek answers for it.\u00a0 I even don\u2019t want to use the word \u201cpersistent\u201d\u2013there\u2019s nothing persistent about it.

I really like what you said about \u201cignoring\u201d as a way of pushing through. Push through the doubt. I tend to stay in that place if I can, but honestly it\u2019s been a lot like a roller coaster this past few months. There was this wild sense of hope at times for possibilities for the future, and incredible sense of anxiety and doubt. I think that was brought on by the US election for a lot of us. That really pushed us all in a place of fear and I think anxiety and fear are different in the situation. But I am actually hopeful about the future because I think we have an opportunity to rebuild a lot. As artists we get to expose that to the public in a creative way and maybe not explicitly but poetically. I really value that.<\/span><\/p>\n

When I share about my anxiety, I am actually coming from a place where this sense of anxiety guides us towards a more just world. As artists, we see what\u2019s not working. We know that the dominant systems are falling apart. We are imagining a way to dismantle that. It also gives me a sense of hope and companionship with people that are like-minded who are thinking that way, of knowing why we do this and what this means to us. I am curious about how hope is playing a role\u2013what are you hopeful about? What is a source of hope for you right now?<\/span><\/p>\n

This year I conducted field interviews with more than 100 Chinese artists. When I asked them about the future, they were overwhelmingly pessimistic. Perhaps this is a bit emotional. Earlier I read a book. It was Hans Ulrich Obrist\u2019s interview of 19 artists, including Damien Hirst. Damien Hirst said that in the future, the \u201cwe\u201d are different versions of we. In fact, we are inventing the future. I was really struck by this.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When we inspect our current moment, we must view it in the linear context of history. We have to look at the people who are dictating the directions of the world\u2019s development\u2013what are people born in the 60s like? The fact that they have experienced the 50s and 60s, and how does that experience contribute to the social structure they invented for today? It\u2019s not a very hard question to answer. In the western context, they were anti-war, hippies, and wanted sex liberation. In China it was collectivism, cultural revolution, and so on. The so called pillars of our society today, what they have experienced when they were young has foreshadowed what they are doing now, and what they will be doing in the future. In a similar way, our situation will decide our future. Therefore I am extremely confident about our future, as the generations from the 80s and 90s are very logical, realistic and opposed to extremism. To anticipate what will happen in the next few decades, we really need to focus on us, right now\u2013we will invent that future, we are that future. Sobia, if you can look at the future from this angle, I\u2019m sure you will see hope as well.<\/span><\/p>\n
