活动预告｜哪怕洪水滔天

马文·雷心托（Marv Recinto）最近在《艺术世界ArtReview》上发表了《什么时候了，还在做生态艺术展》：“我在此主张艺术的功能型转变——即从思辨性艺术对象的生产转向物质性实践，尤其是生态艺术的方向。这必然会引发老生常谈的问题：艺术究竟有什么用？鉴于当前生态退化的状况，也许我们是时候采取更有针对性的行动了。当然，这种方法一定也有局限性，尤其是在画廊空间里——那里不能放羊吧。但也许这里的重点在于将关注点朝向艺术与行动主义结合的实践，来吸引观众参与。”

雷心托的倡议值得我们潜心思索。中间美术馆此前的展览“我们共享的河流，从澜沧江到湄公河”呈现了中泰艺术家行走于河流两岸以后的创作，他们深入当地、注重行动的意识具有撼动人心的感染力。我们曾于5月邀请了艺术家鸿雁、清华大学水利系的博士生付立群等朋友一起前往永定河，观察并调研北京这座城市共享的河流。继暴雨之后，蔡冠深文化交流中心·白云馆也将于2023年9月23日举办《蛇纹绿岩》画册发布暨对话活动——“哪怕洪水滔天”，来自清华大学相关专业的研究员、博士生会与大家详细探讨人水关系的议题，敬请期待。

“哪怕洪水滔天”《蛇纹绿岩》画册发布暨对话活动

After me, the flood

马克思在《资本论》曾借洪灾作为隐喻，指出我们时间性地转嫁灾难，牺牲未来，揭露出人类的不计后果。近些年来，极端天气、自然灾难频繁地迫近，近日连绵不绝的暴雨和洪水尤其导致人类损失惨痛。人与自然正在被逼入一个极端的二元对立语境之中，如何重新构建我们与生态的关系成为亟待解决的隐患。这也正是“蛇纹绿岩”展览所探讨的问题，如何看待人与未知他者的关系，并积极缝合这些岌岌可危的链接。

在展览新书发布之际，围绕着发生在身畔的洪灾议题，我们邀请了三位青年学者从生态学和水系统等不同角度展开更广阔的对话，重看人水关系。

9月23日周六下午3点，希望大家一起在白云馆来认识这些天然的断裂和阻隔，正如展览的倡导，正确认知其本身也是一种积极的缝合行为。

In Das Kapital, Marx employed the metaphor of floods to illustrate our tendency to pass on disasters to future generations and sacrifice the future. This metaphor exposed the human inclination to act without considering the consequences. In recent years, extreme weather events and natural disasters have occurred at a growing frequency, including the recent string of heavy rains and floods that have inflicted significant losses upon humanity. This relentless onslaught has thrust humanity and nature into an extreme binary opposition, compelling us to urgently reassess our relationship with the environment. As a response to this pressing issue, our exhibition “Ophiolite” explores how to perceive the connection between individuals and the unknown other and mend these fragile bonds.

To commemorate the release of Ophiolite exhibition catalogue, we will be hosting a dialogue featuring three young scholars. This dialogue will take a broader ecological and water systems perspective to re-examine the intricate relationship between humans and water, with a focus on the prevalent issue of flood disasters that surround us.

Join us on Saturday, September 23, at 3pm, to explore the fascinating world of natural fractures and barriers. As our exhibition advocates, gaining a correct understanding is, in and of itself, a proactive step towards mending the fragile links that connect us.
