R-Lab is a contemporary art organisation run by postgraduate Contemporary Art Theory students in Edinburgh College of Art, The University of Edinburgh. We aim to collect and present a multitude of‘pivots’that might enact societal and artistic change post-pandemic. We seek to explore how different artworlds have adapted and survived during the pandemic. Reflecting the membership of our R-Lab, we seek to reflect upon Chinese and European cultural experiences during the pandemic. We hope that exchanging Chinese and European visions of post-pandemic possibilities can have a long-lasting impact.
R-lab是一个由爱丁堡大学艺术学院研究生组成的艺术组织。我们意在以多元化的视角洞悉“后疫情”时代艺术和社会发展的转变,并企图以当代艺术在这一特殊时期的“何去何从”为切入点,探究艺术世界在这一节点发生的变化。以组织成员的特殊构成为出发点,我们旨在洞察以中国与欧洲在这一时期所经历的“文化动荡”为研究目的之一,以中欧的“文化交互”为视角,探寻“后疫情”艺术的更多可能性及其对社会未来发展的辐射效应。
What
R-Lab Open Call is an invitation to Chinese and European art practitioners or those based in China and Europe to share with us their experiences, stories and/or artworks which document how they have pivoted – in one way or another – to cope with the pandemic period (March 2020-March 2021). We will curate and present the most vibrant responses as part of our online platform, launching in the latter half of April 2021.
We are open to supporting as wide a range of media as possible. We want to hear your ideas and proposals!
