聚合体——与中国相关的移民研究项目:移民现象在中国体现在两个方面:城市与农村的人口流动;外国人口与本国人口的对流。在这个展览中,策展人夏彦国邀请了五位艺术家,他们分别是郝敬班、黄汉明、陶辉、王翀和郑得恩。参展艺术家将分别就这两个方面展开相关思考,他们的作品共同关涉的都是移民之后的“新集体”现象,也即移民在当地生活中如何从各个层面受到影响,同时他们也扮演“影响者”的角色,他们与周边人的身份已经悄悄发生变化。他们的结构性地位和新的身份认知与当地环境之间的关系是本展览的重要议题。

The migration phenomenon is reflected in two aspects in China: urban and rural population movement; convection between foreign population and Chinese population. In Assemblage, Xia Yanguo invites five artists, Hao Jingban, Ming Wong, Tao Hui, Wang Chong, Enoch Cheng, to think about these two aspects separately. Yet their works are related to the “new collective” phenomenon after immigration, that is, how immigrants are affected at various levels in their local life, how they also play the role of “influencers”, and how their identity with neighbors has quietly changed. Their structural status andthe relationship between new identity cognition and the local environment areimportant topics in this exhibition.
ASSEMBLAGE will be first presented in de Art Center and the Goethe-Institute China, in June 2019. And then it will present in the project exhibition in Gwangju Asia Culture Center. Ming Wong and Enoch’s new film work will be presented in the Ulaanbaatar International Media Art Festival 2019 as well as in the project exhibition in Gwangju Asia Culture Center.
