Witte de With & Spring present
Moderation(s)

Moderation(s) is a year-long collaboration in 2013 originated by Defne Ayas, Director and Curator of Witte de With (Rotterdam) & Mimi Brown, Founder of Spring Workshop (Hong Kong). Conceived as an anthology of active proposals, Moderation(s) brings together an international group of artists, curators and writers in a 12-month program of contemporary discourse and production between the two organisations. Within this framework, the artist Heman Chong will steer the project which will involve more than 50 artists and engender a conference, three exhibitions, three residencies and a book of short stories.

At Spring:

January 2013

Latitudes: Incidents of Travel

Max Andrews and Mariana Cánepa Luna, the curatorial duo Latitudes, will produce Incidents of Travel, for which the pair will invite Hong Kong artists including Ho Sin Tung, Yuk King Tan, Nadim Abbas, and Samson Young to develop day-long tours that articulate the city and their artistic practice through routes and waypoints.

June 2013

A Fictional Residency

15 artists, curators and writers from Hong Kong will produce short stories during A Fictional Residency within a workshop led by an acclaimed author.

October 2013

A Constructed World: Social Contract

A Constructed World will produce The Social Contract, at Spring in October 2013, a work in which audiences are asked to sign a legal contract restraining them from speaking about what they have seen inside the exhibition.

Ongoing:

Bibliotheek (Library) is a collection of books selected by Moderation(s) participants that will function as
a bibliography for Moderation(s). Future participants will be invited to suggest books, creating an ever-expanding common library that can be easily replicated by any individual, community or institution. You are welcome to download the first version of Bibliotheek (Library) here.

– Artist Michael Lee will join the project to develop a series of maps and charts that trace the larger constellation of Moderation(s) that will punctuate the year’s program with multiple cartographic online interventions.

At Witte de With:

Performances by artists including Benjamin Seror, Anthony Marcellini, Eszter Salamon and Koki Tanaka, and many more will take place in and around Rotterdam in A Thing At A Time during the weekend of April 19-20, 2013. Additionally, a conference in four parts led by four moderators, Lee Ambrozy, Amira Gad, Christina Li and Xiaoyi Weng, involving twelve guests will be staged at Witte de With. Finally, in December 2013, The Part In The Story Where A Part Becomes A Part Of Something Else, a large-scale show mounted at Witte de With that will sublimate many of the conversations and gestures found within Moderation(s) with works from artists including Bik Van der Pol, Martine Stig, Fucking Good Art, Gabriel Lester, Lucas Lenglet, Johan Zetterqvist, Ho Sin Tung, Warren Leung and Sara Wong, Ho Rui An, Ang Song Ming, Patrick Killoran and many more.

2013年, Witte de With當代藝術中心(鹿特丹)總監,策展人Defne Ayas以及Spring工作室(香港)創始人Mimi Brown共同組織發起了一個為期一年的聯合專案《Moderation(s)》。兩家機構邀請了眾多國際藝術家、策展人和作家參與到《Moderation(s)》 中,在12個月的專案活動中圍繞當代話語和當代作品展開探討與實踐,並最終能夠以提案選集的形式展示成果。藝術家張奕滿將在這一框架理念下主持該專案,其他50余位藝術家也將參與其中。項目具體包括一場討論會、三個展覽、三個駐留項目和一本短篇故事集。
