The Buoy 呈獻

More and more contemporary art and design practices attempt to connect with the communities they are part of. This situation traverses the fields of socially-engaged art, or participatory/co-design. These fields share a need for the creative practitioner to recognize both their own vision and that of those that surround them. Being responsible to both is key.

The Buoy therefore provides a movie night, an opportunity for guests to watch two portraits of artists in relation to community. Two well-known documentary films by Les Blank will be screened. In them, the artist must design an image within the local community to fulfil their creative vision. Over the course of four hours, visitors can watch the stories unfold while retaining awareness to social boundaries, or lack thereof. During this time, visitors may also witness the work going on at Hart Haus. For, seeing behind the scenes within the "social studio" inevitably holds not just the final work, but the community it is made within. Come. Eat pizza. Watch movies. See the images being made.

越來越多當代藝術和設計試圖聯繫他們身處的社區,社會參與藝術、參與式設計,或協作設計都需要創意從業者認識到自己和身邊大眾的願景。 The Buoy 將就此舉辦電影之夜,放映 Les Blank 的兩部著名紀錄片。在四小時中,參加者可以觀看兩個故事開展,當中他們關注或忽略了社群的界線。兩套紀錄片的藝術家都必須在當地社區中設計形象,來實現他們的創作願景。活動期間還可以親眼目睹創意人士在 HART Haus 進行的創作。歡迎過來吃薄餅看電影,觀看創作影像的過程。

About the Artists

The Buoy

The Buoy was formed as a collaboration between Jen Yoohyun Lee and Marty Miller. The two independent practitioners wondered, “how could creative practice navigate times of uncertainty?” Rooted in personal histories of transitions, The Buoy aims to be present during times of flux by staying rooted but able to shift with the current of events. The Buoy consciously drifts across the blurred boundaries of visual culture through practicing socially-engaged art & design as well as photography and installation. The mission of The Buoy is to stay lighthearted yet stay engaged enough to look beneath the waves of change.

藝術家介紹

The Buoy

The Buoy 由 Jen Yoohyun Lee 和 Marty Miller 的合作創立。兩位獨立藝術家好奇:「創意實踐如何渡過不確定的時期?」紥根於個人的過渡歷史中,The Buoy 希望在時間的波動中繼續紮根時,仍能在事件的洪流中漂動。通過實踐社會互動的藝術和設計,以及攝影和裝置,The Buoy 有意識地跨越模糊的視覺文化邊界。The Buoy 的使命是保持愉快和投入,以直視變化的浪潮。
