《指尖的性爱》
《干,活》系列之二
武淑清 / 社会敏感性研究所
视频制作 Derrick Wang

2016.05.11 – 6.15 展览延期到七月中

武淑清和社会敏感性研究所的影像装置《指尖的性爱》把箭厂空间朴素的店面压缩为一幅私密的画面。除了一个极不易被察觉的“开口”外整个玻璃门被遮蔽起来,《指尖的性爱》是一次暗示着私密偷窥行为的独立观看体验。画面内容是武淑清用双手表演她每日生活中必要动作的视频。“手”对一位生产线上的工人至关重要,而对于武淑清,手也涉及到丰富的情感生活。她的格言与见解在简单、重复的手势中形成层次,将这些平凡的动作转化为一组组编舞。作品的呈现方式有意使观众接近武淑清的个人轨迹,关注生活中那些易被忽略的细节并分享她在平凡中感到的愉悦。

2011年李山在生产电动阀门执行器的北京伯纳德控制设备有限公司成立了一个艺术家驻留计划——社会敏感性研发部。该部门通过艺术家与伯纳德公司员工间的互动实现了众多特定场域的艺术项目。而近期社会敏感性研究所在与赵天汲的合作下开始鼓励员工进行自主的艺术创作。《指尖的性爱》是《干,活》系列在箭厂的第二个项目,由此把一些员工所萌生的想法从工厂车间带入胡同环境,试图模糊生产和生活、员工和艺术家、创作者和观众之间的边界。《干,活》系列项目试图激发创造性活动中“转化”的潜能,并探讨作者身份含义的替代性可能。

武淑清(1979年生于北京)已在伯纳德公司的生产线上工作了五年,她的主要工作是组装OA执行器以及新员工的培训。

Sensual Love of the Fingertips
Work, Live Series, Project #2
Wu Shuqing/Social Sensibility Institute
Video by Derrick Wang

2016.05.11 – 6.15 EXTENDED THROUGH MID-JULY

Condensing Arrow Factory’s modest storefront display into an intimate tableau is Sensual Love of the Fingertips, a new video installation by Wu Shuqing and the Social Sensibility Institute. Masking the entire glass façade save a single subtle opening, Sensual Love of the Fingertips is a solitary viewing experience that alludes to illicit peeping. Inside is a video of Wu’s hands performing essential actions from her daily life. To an assembly line worker, hands are vital for work; to Wu, hands also link to a rich emotional life. Layered with Wu’s own aphorisms and insights, the repetition of simple gestures transforms these mundane acts into pieces of choreography. The scale of the work intentionally draws viewers close into Wu’s personal orbit, giving attention to overlooked details and sharing her delight in the ordinary.

Since 2011 Alessandro Rolandi has facilitated the Social Sensibility Research and Development Department, an artist-in-residency program embedded at Bernard Controls, manufacturer of electric actuators for valve automation. The department has realized numerous site-specific projects through interactions between artists and Bernard Control’s staff members. Now, collaborating with Tianji Zhao, the program has evolved to empower the company’s employees to make original creations. Sensual Love of the Fingertips is the second project in the Work, Live Series that brings nascent ideas from the factory floor out into the hutong context, with the intent of blurring the divisions between work and private life, artist and worker, audience and creator. The Work, Live Series is an exploration into the transformative potential of creative processes and inquiry into alternative definitions of authorship.

Wu Shuqing (b. 1979, Beijing) is in her fifth year working on the assembly line at Bernard Controls. Her job consists of assembling valve actuators and training new employees.
