---首先，我们假设有艺术这回事，同时艺术家也象我们所看到的这样存在着。

--At First, let’s assuming that art exists and so as artists we see around.

 

 

　　从一个角度来看，艺术创作是一个不断从对它的描述所建构的系统中突围的活动。这个角度因为给想象力和思维的自由预留了无限可能性，所以总能勾起艺术家创作的亢奋。

　　From a point of view, the creation of art works is an activity of breaking through the system which has been constructed and described by art itself. This aspect gives artists an ultimate possibility of imagination and the liberty of thinking which will always stimulate artists to create.

　　蜗牛在爬行，背着一个壳。柔软、敏感、湿润、天真、惊奇造就了那装着他拖累着他当然也保护着他的精美、坚固、沉重、了无生气。这样比喻是把他们说成了一个整体，过于客观理性了。作为爬行着的艺术家就不会总是这么想。

　　Snail is crawling with his shell. Soft, sensation, moistness, naïveté and surprising composed the shell, which is his cumbrance but also protect his elegance, heaviness, and boringness. This analogy describes them as a whole which may seems too rational. The crawling artists will not always think this way.

　　如果没有壳，学科的壳，体制的壳，艺术家何为？If there is no shell, shell of disciplines, shell of the system, what will artists do?

　　我们天生善感、善悟，我们喜欢游戏。We are emotional and understandable, we love gaming.

　　我们不妨把我们习得的关于艺术的全部知识放下，远离艺术体制，没有所谓专业手艺、技巧，没有画廊没有美术馆没有艺术市场，我们可以什么都不是，因为我们无论如何是一个人，这可以肯定，也没办法不是。这就好了，我们可以玩玩有意思的事情。（至于是否有意义不必去管）

　　Let us forget all those knowledge we learned about art, get far away from the system and leave our professional skills and techniques behind. No galleries, no museums, no art market. We may be nothing, but we are still human beings. So, let’s play some games and have some fun.

　　试想，一个裸猿怎么样？太极端了？那至少知道裸猿在远处，你能看见他。裸猿又在深处，每个人的身体里都有这么个裸猿，他能感受到你。

　　How about a naked ape? Too extreme? At least we know that the naked ape is somewhere far away and we can see him. At the same time, this naked ape is somewhere deep, may be deep inside everyone’s body and feels you.

 

 

　　基于上苑艺术馆的地理环境，我们组织一次以上苑艺术馆驻馆艺术家为主要参与者的在自然中创作并展示的艺术活动。

　　Based on the landscape around Shangyuan Art Scene, we organize an art activity in the wild create and showing art works which the majority of partners will be Shangyuan Art Scene’s resident artists.

 

 

      无主题，除了在野外和非学科化没有别的限定。The theme of this activity is not specific. The only limitation is that the activity is in the wild and there is not boundary among subjects.

　　在展览之前艺术家可自行或者组织一次郊游活动，确定创作区域，因地构思各自的方案。　　Before exhibition, there will be a period of time that artists can walk around the area and find a proper place to make their own idea possible.

　　欢迎参与，绝不强求。Everyone will be welcome!
