“榴莲•榴莲” | 首届泛东南亚三年展即将启动

“泛东南亚”是指围绕二战后形成的东南亚十一国以及与之接壤或隔海相望的东亚及南亚包括中国南部在内的国家及地区，这些在历史与现实中都紧密相连的区域，位于北半球亚洲东南部的亚热带至热带的半岛与群岛之间。

除了不刻意强调地理边界，“泛”更指向一种艺术与知识生产边界的打开和展览形式的开放，以回应该区域当代艺术活跃生态的动态实践。三年展的研究项目、展览和出版将以不断生成的形式展开，策展人、艺术家、研究者等参与者们就像浮家泛宅于这个区域海陆上古老的流动族群，在浪潮起落中协作，探索如何与充满不确定性的世界共生的智慧。

广州有两千多年开放口岸的历史，它的生态与传统与东南亚有着密切的地缘关系，无论是历史上，还是当下，它与东南亚的交流与互动都较之中国其他区域更为频繁且复杂。地处广东的广州美术学院美术馆着力于从珠三角、中国南部延伸到东南亚以至更广泛范围的文化与艺术研究，并准备推出以“泛东南亚”为题的三年展序列。该三年展旨在以开放的策展视角和新的美术馆实践推动泛东南亚区域独立艺术与思想的沟通，通过新类型展览、研讨交流、档案库建设、出版和公共教育项目，推动区域间的文化自觉、理解与创新。同时，也试图将“泛东南亚”区域在不同板块挤压中的现实，作为同样身处多重边缘状态中的艺术反思的起点，打开亚洲及全球范围非欧美地区当代艺术创作的主位思考与叙述。

“Trans-Southeast Asia (T-SEAsia)” is a collective that encompasses all the eleven Southeast Asian countries, as well as regions of East and South Asia, including Southern China, that border on the former. These countries and regions, which sit amongst the tropical and sub-tropical peninsulas and archipelagos that sprinkle the southeast areas of Asia in the north hemisphere, are knit closely together now and before.

More than the toned-down geographical boundary, “trans” as a concept inclines towards expanding art and knowledge production and opening up the curatorial process in response to the vibrancy in the art scene in this region. This dynamic process will decentralize the power structure of exhibitions for co-ownership among a variety of curators, artists, art projects and researchers, leading to a series of research programs, exhibitions and publications. During the process of the Triennial, participants work together, just like the ancient populace who dwell afloat and co-live with the tides in this areas, to navigate the world of uncertainty and explore the wisdom to co-habit with it.

Trans-Southeast Asia Triennial starts from the close geographical kinship between Guangdong and Southeast Asia. Guangzhou opened its port more than 2000 years ago. Both in retrospect and at present, it tops its Chinese siblings in the frequency and intricacy of exchanging and interacting with Southeast Asia. The Guangdong-based GAFA Art Museum commits itself to the cultural and art research spanning from the Pearl River Delta and Southern China to Southeast Asia and beyond, with the Trans-SEAsia Triennial series as a research platform. Missioned to bolster the communication in art and thinking in Trans-Southeast Asia with an open curatorial perspective and new art museum practice, this triennial shall support cultural self-knowledge, understanding and innovation within the region via unconventional exhibitions, discussions, archive building, publication and other public programs. It takes the situation of Trans-Southeast Asia being hemmed in by various blocs of power as the point of departure to reflect on its art practice that also situates along multiple marginalized discourses to unravel the multiple perspectives and narratives of contemporary art making in this area.

“首届泛东南亚三年展”的主题与泛东南亚区域特殊的复杂历史与多样性文化相关联，泛东南亚区域广泛分布的半岛与群岛，决定了这些地方不可能成为封闭的安稳世界，流动的台风、海啸会以不确定的方式降临，不确定长久的结构于日常中，在此间生存的人不得不”将不确定视为一种确定”来正视生存之道。

榴莲是一种原生于该区域的水果，各地品种众多，甚至同一棵榴莲树都会结出大相径庭的果实。榴莲果肉都在果壳内围绕中心分置，不对称也不完全连通。榴莲外壳狰狞坚硬，让人觉得棘手、恐惧。榴莲也充满诱惑，它气味浓烈，果肉异常甜美柔软。作为东南亚的代表水果，它的生产、消费与流通方式广泛涉及文化、社会、生态等议题。我们对于榴莲有怎么样的想象和误读？大流行时代，日常显现出不同寻常的含义，榴莲的多元与复杂也在其中被放大，与我们的线上线下多重现实并行。我们需要打开怎样的感知与榴莲共生，改变工作惯性，重新思考自身的立场、权利和创造力？

此次公告的发布标志着三年展研究及展览筹备工作阶段性呈现的开始。“首届泛东南亚三年展”期待为区域中多元开放的知识生产与对话提供一个长期的交流与研究平台，参与者也在共同型塑着三年展的工作方向和方法，搭建不同学科、视角、路径与方法的实践交汇。

The theme of the First T-SEAsian Triennial 2021 correlates with the complex history and diverse cultures particular to this region. Its broadly scattered peninsulas and archipelagos forestall any possibility for them to close themselves up for a tranquil journey. The looming threats posed by the typhoon and tsunami, all in flux, weave uncertainty into the everyday fabrics, compelling the habitants to “take uncertainty as a certainty” in assuring their own existence.

Durian, an indigenously grown fruit, is famed for its plentiful variety, so much so that one same tree can give birth to vastly different fruity offspring. The pulp sits around the center inside the shell, with no beauty of symmetry and often isolated from each other. The durian shell, with its forbidding and solid look, breathes trouble and dread down our neck. Yet the fruit itself is rife with a tempting smack, shown in its olfactory aggressiveness and exceptionally sweet and tender pulp. The production, consumption and transportation of durian cross lines of culture, society and environment. How have we visualized and misinterpreted durian? Living in the pandemic world, everydayness shows unusual meanings, and the diversity and complexity durian carries are also magnified, paralleling our multiple online and offline realities. What new perceptions and insights do we need to live with durian, and to change old habits, rethinking the position, privilege, rights and creativity in our work?

This announcement inaugurates the presentation and sharing of research and exhibition preparation so far. Shaped together with various participants, the First T-SEAsia Triennial 2021 aims to build a perennial exchange and research platform for the pluralistic and open knowledge production and dialogue in this region, with rewarding crossovers among various disciplines, perspectives, pathways and methodologies.

建立一个研究、出版平台，与合作研究员一起深入挖掘泛东南亚区域的历史纵深和现实语境，推出与展览专题相关的艺术实践展示与研究、社区对话、研究者对话和机构对话。合作研究员采取邀请及公开招募两种形式，名单将不断更新。

The Triennial is working as a research platform to investigate and to present the art practice, history and present contexts in collaboration with collaborative researchers, enacting dialogues between art projects, various communities and institutions among Southeast Asia and Southern China. The open research team welcomes applications from researchers of all fields to work on related themes of the Triennial.

在整个三年展期间，于线上、线下平台开放召集、展开不同形式的展览流、工作坊序列、在地项目对话，搭建层层推进的交流与协作，探索长时间向度的工作可能。

Throughout the duration of the Triennial, a series of exhibitions, workshops and other public events will be staged across multiple online and offline sites, as a result of long-term research and site-specific collaborations facilitated by the Triennial.

在三年展后期，重新策动前期工作，重构美术馆现场的对话与传播，以汇聚式的大型展览呈现。

At a later stage of the Triennial, all work will be revisited and reconstructed in the museum site to form new ways of conversations and dissemination, through a gathering exhibition.
