Concrete Flux & Pon Ding Present ‘Outsiders In-Between the City’ with work by I-Hsuen Chen and Pei-Hsuan Wang
For event details in English, please scroll down.
創立於中國北京，《流泥》是一個多平台的媒體、多面向的刊物，主要討論中國快速且蓬勃的城市發展所衍生的問題、現象，及人們對這些現象的看法與理解。
此次講座，前半段將由《流泥》雜誌的編輯 Emma Karasz 向大家簡單介紹這本雜誌過去曾探討的主題、對應的活動與未來計劃。接著，加入臺灣藝術家陳以軒及王佩瑄，他們將各自展示一個作品，而此作品也呼應《流泥》雜誌過去曾探究的議題。
陳以軒的「靜物研究二」，主題為島嶼特別區域指定探索，探訪那些無家可歸者位於台北市民大道下的居所。王佩瑄的計劃則討論台北移民族群，尤其是那來自印尼的幫傭。兩位的作品都試圖在城市與社會現有的物理結構中，創造一個非正常空間。然而，陳以軒與王佩瑄作品的共同點也是他們都探討了台北的局外者議題（遊民及外來工作者），希望藉此吸引大眾的目光，思考這個國際議題。
░░ 關於《流泥》
2013年創立於中國北京，以下為它欲達成的目標：
《流泥》是一個多平台的媒體、多面向的刊物，主要討論中國快速且蓬勃的城市發展所衍生的問題、現象，及人們對這些現象的看法與理解。我們深信透過創造一個新型態，討論城市化為主的平台能對社會產生正面影響。我們的目標是讓居民感受並意識到—居住空間的變化的速度，似乎即將超出人類頭腦可以記錄與評估的範圍。
這些新型態思想的可能性通常以小組討論的方式舉行，媒介包含網路、郵件通信及我們舉辦的活動。我們也希望藉由這些討論活動引發藝術家、設計師、作家與攝影師等創意工作者對中國城市空間的興趣，並激發他們產生新的點子與可能性。
《流泥》被設計為一個促進溝通與交流的平台，目的為關心它所在意的城市議題而不是自身。
為了觸及更廣大的族群，《流泥》在2014年成為一個集合體。自2013年至今，《流泥》共出版4本雜誌，更舉辦相關活動，雜誌的撰稿人來自世界各地的藝術家、作家、攝影師、設計師、學術工作者等。因著對建築的包羅萬象、城市生態的偌大興趣，與居住於中國的城市經驗，《流泥》將自己定義為中介者，藉著舉辦的藝術活動、工作坊與私人聚會來提供溝通與合作的平台，也計畫橫向拓展，與更多人交流，與城市對話。
我們希望可以透過《流泥》這個平台，展示重要且具關聯性的作品，喚醒民眾對於城市議題的關注，畢竟當人們身在其中，這些議題往往都被忽視。我們的目標是找出支持每個計畫的可能性，也衷心希望對《流泥》有興趣的人們能主動聯繫我們，與我們合作來維繫這個平台。最後，在這個充滿科技的世界裡，人們總是越依賴透過網路的互動，我們也希望能夠透過《流泥》促進人與人之間的溝通與與思想的傳遞。

Concrete Flux is a multi-media, multi-disciplinary journal which takes as its subject matter China's hyper-fast emerging urban spaces, their meaning and one's everyday experiences of them.
For this event, we will give a brief overview of Concrete Flux, our previous issues and events, and plans for the future. In the second half, Taiwanese artists Pei-Hsuan Wang and I-Hsuen Chen will each present a work that fits within the themes investigated by Concrete Flux.
Chen’s ‘Still-Life Analysis II: The Island’ explores ad hoc living spaces made by the homeless living under Civic Boulevard in Taipei. Wang’s project looks at migrant communities in Taipei, specifically domestic helpers and caretakers from Indonesia. Their works deal explicitly with the process of creating informal spaces within the city’s existing physical and social structures. While both Chen and Wang explore Taipei-specific ‘outsider’ communities, their works also draw our attention to universal issues.
░░ About Concrete Flux
Concrete Flux was founded in 2013 in Beijing, China with the following mission:
Concrete Flux is a multi-media, multi-disciplinary journal which takes as its subject matter China's hyper-fast emerging urban spaces, their meaning and one's everyday experiences of them. We believe that a new configuration of space through urbanisation will lead to a new configuration of society. Our aim, then, is to contribute to some understanding of or gain insight into what these spaces, which seem to emerge faster than our minds can log and assess, may mean.
The possibilities of these new modes of thinking will be further pushed in discussion groups to be held both online, through our newsletter, and through events. We also hope that these discussions will offer new ideas and possibilities for new collaborations amongst artists, designers, writers, photographers etc. with an interest in Chinese urban spaces.
Concrete Flux is designed more as a facilitator of and platform for projects than as a project in and of itself.
Concrete Flux became a collective in 2014 in order to gain access to a wider audience. Since 2013, Concrete Flux has published four issues and facilitated events. Its contributors are internationally active artists, writers, photographers, academics, designers, etc., with an overarching interest in architecture, urban ecology, and urban experience in China. Concrete Flux is a platform for and facilitator of conversation and collaboration, branching out to organize art events, workshops and panels. As we move forward, we plan to broaden Concrete Flux’s approach by focusing on partnerships and extending our conversation to cities everywhere.
We hope that by using Concrete Flux as a platform for presenting important and relevant work that we will create awareness around urban issues that, while universally experienced, are often overlooked. We aim to find new ways to facilitate and support projects, so we hope that those who are interested in Concrete Flux will contact us about collaborations. Finally, in a world where we increasingly rely on technology for interaction, we aim to promote in-person communication, sharing of information and transmission of ideas.
