東亞諸眾峰會:「革命後之世界」 East Asia Multitude Meeting: The World After Revolution


「讓我們先創造出革命之後的世界!」
Let's create the world after revolution!


東亞諸眾峰會:「革命後之世界」
East Asia Multitude Meeting: The World After Revolution

與 會者: 素人之亂 (Amateur Revolt ) (日本)、Indie space AGIT (釜山)、直走咖啡 (G Straight Café) (臺北) 、 我們家(Wuhan Youth Autonomy Center) (武漢)、活化廳 (Woofer-ten)(香港)

***

久等了,革命後的世界快將來臨!

來自日本的非常惡攪份子「素人之亂」、釜山的社運音樂會達人 Indie space AGIT 、臺北的社運咖啡室「直走」、於武漢實踐一個自治空間實驗的「我們家」、尚有仍未令藝術發展局有半點後悔的活化廳將於本月28日將聚首一堂,仿傚世界各國首腦的定期吹水活動,藝術/行動者也要建立交流,舉行的諸眾(眾人的)峰會,共議將要來臨的起義!

事出未必無因,近年來東亞各地面對相近的社會問題:如各地因都市更新與空間商品化而對傳統社區造成的破壞,以市場與競爭力為由漸漸被異化的生活價值,經濟泡沫化與貧富殊以造成的社會流動性問題,因開發鄉郊而大大破壞自然生態的土地正義運動,及至由311地震引發東亞各地的反核運動等...這些運動都似乎是相互共通卻又各有其在地的脈絡,當中的異同又會指出什麼?從這上活躍分子的在地經驗和實踐裡,又可有什麼有趣地方讓我們互相學習和反省?

是次峰會以 「革命後的世界」為主題,概念源自「素人の亂」的頭目松本哉的口頭禪:「讓我們先創造出革命之後的世界!」。究竟眾人的革命之後的世界是什麼模樣?各地藝術/行動者所追求/期望變革的世界會是怎樣?藉著這地區性的結連,我們又可如何共同達成這個大同世界?

Finally, the post-revolution world is coming!
Cultural/Art Activist from Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and Mainland China will gather in Wooferten by the end of this month (April), after the blar blar blar world leader summit conference, to share and exchange on their practice, holding meeting making preparation plans for the coming revolution!
These congregation, includes Japanese “Amateur Revolt,” Busan Revolt Concert indie space AGIT, Taipei G Straight Café, Wuhan Desireè Youth Autonomy Center, and Wooferten Art Platform.
East Asia countries, recently faced quite similar social problems. Due to urban renewal and commercialization and commoditization of space, the traditional community life is under the threat of the market. The bursting of the financial bubble, and social mobility but that of polarization and increasing gap between the rich and the poor, the destruction of rural and nature ecology that stirred the fight for land justice, to that of the anti-nuke movement after the 311 quake of last year. They are all shared local issues for the different places, which could provide lots of different perspectives on similar problems. And they are all here to share their activist experience from their praxis, so we could each learn from others and reflect upon our own case.
This “summit” has been named “post revolution world,” comes from the “Amateur Revolt” master-brain Hajime Matsumoto, who often call us to create the world post revolution. How actually will such a world look like? How do artists and activist from different places imagine of it and sought it after? 

Panel:  Amateur Revolt(Tokyo) ,Indie space AGIT,(Busan) G Straight Café(Taipei), Desireè Youth Autonomy Center (Wuhan), and Wooferten (HK).

有關 素人之亂:

「素人の亂」不是AV片名,而是一個大本營在東京高圓寺的社群網絡。「素人」即業餘者又或平凡人,「素人の亂」便即是業餘搗蛋集團。相對於一般政黨和工會的「專業」示威手法,「素人の亂」以最有無厘頭和不合章法的手段,引發別具想像的惡攪/抗爭想像「素人の亂」也是一群拒絕在大企業工作的年青人所組成的小店網絡,當中包括夜冷店,二手衣服店、酒吧、咖啡室、食堂、及至音樂會派對場地等,他們以小店的經營方式實踐自主生活的態度,成員更在日本各地不斷擴散中。「素人の亂」頭目之一:松本哉自大學時間的惡攪事跡已有成本電話簿咁厚,他主張窮人應起來革命,爭取貧窮但也能快樂、自由和有尊嚴的生活。去年311大地震後,「素人の亂」在高圓寺發動反核集會,結果一下子動員一萬五千人參與,讓政客們大跌眼鏡,有說此次集會是日本近年的民間抗爭運動的標杆戰役。

有關 Indie Culture Network AGIT:

獨立創作網絡AGIT是一個由一群致力推動在地獨立藝術創作與及對外交流的釜山藝術家/音樂人的藝術組織。2003年,他們把釜山一個廢棄的幼稚園活化成一個的藝術家自主空間,為藝術家提供免費的錄音室,Band房,工作室,展演場地,還有一個幾乎每晚有不同藝術家來喝酒的大廳。AGIT關心釜山在地獨立創作生態,如獨立音樂,街頭藝術,獨立電影及至各類型的街頭文化等等,他們亦不時策劃各類型展覽,音樂會,交流工作坊及藝術家駐場計劃等。與此同時,作為釜山的活躍分子,他們常拉大隊到各個抗爭現場,舉辨各類型的街頭音樂會,漸漸發展出釜山一片獨特的音樂生態。

有關 直走咖啡:

以咖啡店作為醞釀社會運動的基地,又或營運咖啡店作為運動的實踐。直走咖啡以共治的方式經營,並以盈餘籌辨活動,接連「消費-參與」的關係。咖啡店的營運團隊「rules」過去曾出版過刊物,參與帳篷劇製作,及至策劃諾努客(No-Nuke)文化行動團隊...等挑戰既定社會運動的想象及發展不同結盟可能。

有關「我們家」:

「我們家」青年自治實驗室,位於武漢行將被城市化消失的城郊村,於2008年秋由三位武漢居民開始,將一座私人住宅轉變成對外開放的半公共的自治空間,籍由橫向直接民主的企圖,日常生活的實踐和討論以及與公共事件的連接與介入,嘗試探索與理解“共”以及其他替代性生活方式的可能性。曾參與「保衛東湖」的活動,差點被「和諧」。

殺到埋身!一齊空手入白刃!



《殺到油麻地!地區自救計劃暨展覽示範》
6/4- 20/5/2012
活化廳

新一輪重建又殺到,活化廳四月份主題計劃推出《殺到油麻地!地區自救計劃暨展覽示範》,期望藉四個不同面向的計劃,提議社區可如何自救,藉此拋磚引玉,為各位街坊示範如何身體力行,自救救人。

面對重建殺到埋身,社區生活正逐步被財團全面控制,縱無精器良駒,也要空手入白刃!此計劃取名「自救」,一方面是要提出對抗盲目發展的立場;對社區內本有事物存在的感謝珍惜,亦期望藉各藝術家提供不同對抗主流價值的生活示範,以作拋磚引玉。

是次活動首重身體力行,然後自救救人的重要性。活動期間,策展人/活化廳成員將駐場收集各街坊觀眾就對抗城市發展提出的對策,齊為社區把把脈。另於示範展覽的最後一日特設「社區如何自救?藝術家與街坊齊齊拆掂佢傾計會」,與街坊總結各藝術計劃的考察/觀察成果。

殺到埋身!一齊空手入白刃!

計劃共分四部份:
1.「對抗示範」
  從生活價值的質疑開始,由三位藝術家/藝術組合提供不同對抗主流價值的生活示範。「油麻地花王」伙拍街坊妹叔共同研究一種適用於香港家居的垂直種植系統,用種植改造屬於自己的生活空間。鄧國騫的「今《東京夢華錄》」結合連鎖店營業時的影片和個體店拍下關門時的照片,預示/慨嘆香港未來街頭。鄭家榆在牌檔、地攤或二手店尋找被遺棄或丟失的菲林,讓照片重見天日,替別人保存「拾回的菲林」裡面記憶。

2.「重建近了,你們應當拍檯!」
  回應重建潛台詞:「無依無靠的,死埋一邊吧……啦!」藝術家李俊峰和龐一鳴將從各自從社區介入及個人對抗財團的經驗,設計一套「反地產霸拳」,給予街坊傍身。

3.「誰迫走了碳筆素描馮畫師?」
  展出一位早前在上海街被強行拆去頂篷的寫炭相畫檔:馮畫師的作品、工具和圖片,扣問社會上什麼氛圍令類似的檔口不能續存?同場放置印有畫師工具和圖像的慰問卡,邀請街坊觀眾與畫師問好。
(稍後將會有對應馮畫師的創作,回應馮畫師的碳筆畫技藝,與街坊齊齊回想及分享當日畫檔贈予上海街那份獨特的人文風景。)

4.『連鎖免問』社區廣告位 
  戶外廣告不再是連鎖集團獨有!活化廳開放外牆空間用作街坊戶外廣告位,由藝術家專人手繪設計,全方位力撐社區小本生意。首階段以「尋鋪啟事」為題,包括幾個已結業或因加貴租而遷離本區的搬遷廣告。

For Immediate Press Release  
Yau Ma Tei Self-Rescue Project & Demonstrative Exhibition
6/4- 25/5/2012 

How to “Bare Hand Withhold Blade Attack”?

The project named itself with “self-rescue” for it propose to spread a self-help attitude, giving out suggestion to the “Kai-fong” (neighborhood community) of Yau Ma Tei (as well as beyond), some means to rebel against the blind-development now prevailing in Hong Kong.

We encourage the public to not just appreciate, cherish their community, but also through their action and participation to help preserve all the precious things that constituted the lively district. Our everyday livelihood are in fact being subjected to more and more control, as urban renewal joined hands with developers, allowing giant entrepreneurs sprawling crawls affecting almost every aspects of our daily lives. We surely do not have any real “weapons” to fight against them, but why not do something and start our resist with our bare hands?

The project is divided into 4 parts. “Confront demonstration” questions the mainstream value about development, three artists Yau Ma Tei FLOWER KING, Cheng Ka Yue and Tang Kwok Hin suggested related ways to resist against it through their specific case studies. “Rebel! for the Urban Renewal Authoritarian is near.” is a set of “Quan Pu” (Kung Fu Learning-Kit) with different postures teaching kai-fong how to fight against chain-stores monopoly and defend their rights in face of the profit-maximizing Urban Renewal Authority. The other two parts focus on some streetscape changes of Yau Ma Tei’s. “Who Took Away Painter Fung’s Stall?” exhibits photos and stuffs of the street-stall of Painter Fung just a block away from Wooferten in Shanghai Street, which recently got partially demolished. Art action by artists will response in-situ and remind people the unique artistic and humanistic touches “Painter Fung” has provided day in day out over the years.
Apart from above, Wooferten will launch an advertisement space named  “N/A for chained stores Advertisement” free for local stores, with design and production aids provided from a team of artists. For the launching stage, we will display serveral hand-painted advertisements, of the stores that had disappeared or driven out from the local community or their original address, very often due to unreasonable rent increase.
