「今日之需」

艺术创作在线征集

策 展 人

姜来（Julia Jiang）

「今日之需」是一次鼓励公众参与，

反思与回应我们当下每日所需的线上展览。

简 介

“我们日用的饮食（daily bread），今日赐给我们。”（选自《主祷文》）。在遥远的从前，我们的今日之需即是日用的饮食。但在全球化步调下的今日，文化的交流、电子时代的便捷与消费革命都更迭了我们的日常需求，我们又该如何理解“今日之需”？“今日之需”不再局限于温饱，它更可以代表所有的生活必需品：从肉体上到精神上，从吃穿住行到情感和心灵。

“今日之需”已经在人类社会存在了2000多年，且永远不会消失，尤其是在疫情影响下，当我们必须对生活做“减法”时，“今日之需”在历史中呈现出橄榄型的发展：从日用的饮食发展丰富至物质与精神并存，又因疫情时代的到来而收紧，我们不得不思考什么是“必需”？本次展览将反映人们在疫情时代每日之需的变化。

在疫情时代，生活和办公模式也发生了从线下到线上的转变，因此展览无疑也需要转移阵地，这促使我们审视这段时间积累的策展问题：亲身体验感和艺术真实性的丧失。此次线上展览便是我们针对以上问题的尝试：如果用屏幕观展是新常态化的唯一方案，我们如何才能在虚拟展览中呈现原件而非现实的替代品？这个平台不仅仅是在居家隔离时的Plan B，还是对艺术在创作、传播和评鉴过程中变革的刺激。

The Daily Bread

OPEN CALL FOR ARTISTS

Curatorial Proposal, Julia Jiang

The Daily Bread is an exhibition that encourages participation and responds to our everyday needs.

Synopsis

The Lord’s Prayer includes the verse, ‘give us this day our daily bread’, so we can readily acknowledge where our needs of each day come from. How do we understand this ‘daily bread’? It does not have to be ‘bread’ as such, vegetables or meat; instead, it represents all necessities of the everyday, from the physical: food, clothes, accommodation and transportation, to the mental, emotional and spiritual.

Whilst the significance of The Daily Bread has stayed for more than 2,000 years and will continue in the future generations, it becomes particularly relevant to latest global crisis of the pandemic. This exhibition responds to the current situations in China: individual cities have been forced to undergo intense lockdowns and hundreds of millions of people have experienced dramatic shifts in their daily life.

Functioning in a mid-pandemic landscape, where the comfort of routine has become fragmented and dismantled, we are forced to embrace the transfiguration of pattern. We are urged to examine the accumulating issues of curating during this time: the absence of bodily experience and the loss of the authenticity of artwork as shows are forced to move online. This curatorial proposal comprises of an online exhibition: if an exhibition through a screen could become the new normal as the only resolution, how can we make the virtual presentation original, rather than an alternative to the real-life exhibition? This platform is not merely a substitute solution constrained by the access limitations during the pandemic, but instead, a stimulus for art to change, including its process of production, dissemination and appreciation.

Briefing

There will be a livestream talk on Sunday 8th May 2022 at 3pm (China time). Curator Julia Jiang will be speaking about the concept and curatorial strategy of the exhibition, and share some potential ideas and relevant artwork.

Participants

This project is initiated by AIVA Shanghai, an international art and design college to prepare students from various subject areas for their further development overseas. Participants from diverse backgrounds are invited to submit work, and we particularly encourage young generation artists and students. This project facilities a platform where we can share work, highlighting the essence of collectivity, participation, and collaboration. We invite the following to participate：

- Arts and Design students

- Art lovers and non-professionals

- Emerging and established artists

- Animals and aliens

Submission

Submissions from a wide range of mediums are all welcome (painting, photography, video work, sculpture, installation, performance, poetry, music, cooking). The artwork will be reviewed and accepted according to the concept of the exhibition. Each artist is asked to submit one work that includes participant’s name, the title of the piece and a short description (100 characters in Chinese or 50 words in English), date, and medium. We accept most formats, e.g., Word, PDF, MP4, MP3, QuickTime, JPEG, GIF, and any file submitted should not exceed 50 MB.

Duration

This exhibition will begin on 11th June 2022 and has no end date. This ongoing project acts as a documentary approach to remember the current situations, as well as appreciating the ways in which art has to transform. Of all the necessities we now feel so keenly aware of, the arts and their contribution to wellbeing becomes evident – in some ways, imperative to coronavirus confinement.
