About Artists Roles/Artists Rules
Artists Roles / Artists Rules is an exhibition on the artist’s mission, responsibility, duty and position in society- sometimes enforced, sometimes self-imposed. Each artist has worked individually from a personal standpoint on an individual basis as well as with the vision of how things ideally could be.
The origins of the project is the desire to explore and discuss the differences as well as the similarities in working conditions for artists in China and Sweden.
We have a desire to, through this exchange, as artists achieve greater awareness of each others lives and our respective communities.
The only common language for the participants in this project have been the imagery. The language barrier made written communication sparse and poor. Initially, we have communicated through short videos on a chat forum, a channel open and possible in a Chinese – Swedish communication. It has given us the opportunity to learn from each others. These videos have then been merged into a joint work on show in the gallery.
The exhibition features the collaborative video as well as individual video works, installations, collages, photographic works, drawings and documentation of performances.
The project part one has been hold at Studio 44 in Stockholm last Aug and Sep, now ready to present the project part two at TCG Nordica, the 9th of Sep, 8pm, welcome!

关于 艺术家的角色与规则
每位艺术家的独立创作都是基于个人底线与立场，也是对理想世界的想象。“艺术家的角色与规则”是一个关于艺术家的使命、责任和社会姿态的展览，这些定位有时是被动的，有时则是自我设定的。
项目的初衷是中国和瑞典的艺术家们渴望通过探索和讨论不同条件下的艺术家的差异性和相似性。
我们有一种渴望，通过此次交流项目，作为艺术家能获得对他人以及各自社群更广阔的认识。
语言障碍使得书面交流十分稀缺，在这个项目中参与者之间唯一的共同语言是图像。最初，我们通过在微信群里发布短视频来交流，这对中国和瑞典艺术家来说都是一种开放的可能性。通过这种交流我们也彼此认识互相学习。这些视频目前已经被合并成了一件集体作品在画廊展出。
“艺术家的角色与规则”展览将包括一件集体录像作品以及艺术家个人的录像、装置、拼贴、摄影、绘画以及行为艺术文献等作品。
该项目已于2016年8月在瑞典斯德哥尔摩Studio44画廊正式启动，今年9月9日该项目的中国部分将在昆明TCG诺地卡文化中心进行，八位艺术家将带来不同形式的艺术文化交流活动。9月7日晚7点艺术家们将在昆明理工大学城市学院进行学术交流讲座。欢迎大家踊跃参加！
