For the next meeting of the Happy Friends Reading Club, we will read the final chapter of “Toward an Anthropological Theory of Value” (2001) by David Graeber (Chapter 7: “The False Coin of our own Dreams”). The meeting will take place at 5 pm on Sunday, July 21st at HomeShop.

On a string of meetings on utopia, events, and non-visible energy—all things not quite in existence, at least not to the naked eye—we follow with a chapter from anthropologist David Graeber’s questioning of value as “blind spot” of anthropology. For even in this field, concerned with understanding cultures of the other, there is a common risk of understanding value in economic terms. From the introduction:

“无形” non-visible videostills

non-visible
a project by Asako Iwama and Derrick Wang
June 21-23
家作坊 HomeShop

The “non-visible” project has evolved from a series of video interviews with various practitioners in Europe and China with experiences or familiarity working with non-visible energy, or ‘qi’. Interviewees have included dancers, cognitive scientists, Feng Shui and I Ching masters, psychics, traditional medicine doctors and physicists. 

How can the non-visible be made visible and/or comprehensible? We would suggest that we are constantly swinging between the two poles of subjective and objective reality. Through the process of our interviews, we have attempted to find points of connection between the various practices we have encountered, while acknowledging our own groundlessness in terms of having to constantly transform our perceptions and expectations of the people we have met. 

In a film installation and series of events organized during the June solstice and under the full moon (June 21-23), we hope that some of the hidden layers contained in our interactions and recordings will become visible to or felt by those who participate, and that a new understanding of the non-visible may emerge.

Friday June 21
18:00-20:00 reading and discussion with the Happy Friends Reading Group (download reading material)
20:00-22:00 film installation

Saturday June 22
18:00-20:00 book reading and discussion with Du Shun Gie Laoshi (Feng Shui master), Zhang Li Rem Laoshi (Yijing master), Eva Bergwall (eurythmy teacher and healer), Hartmut Walter (acoustic and vibration engineer), Zhu Feng (Qi Gong master) and other guests
20:00-22:00 film installation

Sunday June 23
19:00 dinner prepared by Emi Uemura and Asako Iwama and open discussion (organic & vegetarian dinner, cost 88RMB, reservation required; please email lianxi@homeshop.org.cn)
20:00-22:00 film installation

Asako Iwama (born in Tokyo, Japan) is an artist and cook, who lives and works in Berlin, Germany. Asako Iwama’s practice has developed around the idea of the ontology of eating. Referring to the social aspects of eating as a metaphor of our relation to nature, Iwama seeks to transform the perception of nourishment, both aesthetically and epistemologically within her practice and work.

Derrick Wang (born in Montreal, Canada) is a second generation Chinese from Canada who has a background in architecture, and is currently working as a filmmaker in Beijing, China.

“无形”
项目发起人：岩間朝子，Derrick Wang
6月21-23日
家作坊 HomeShop

“无形（non-visible）”项目采访了许多生活在欧洲和中国的人，这些人或拥有运用无形能量（或“气”）的能力，或拥有这样的体验，他们的职业各式各样，其中包括舞者、认知科学家、风水先生、易经大师、通灵者、中医师和物理学家等等。

如何让无形的、不可见的能量可见或被理解？我们不断地在主观和客观现实的两极之间摇摆。在采访的过程中，我们试图找到这其中的共通点，然而，遇到的人不断地改变我们的看法和对他们的期望，我们也不得不承认自己的局限性。

在夏至和月满之际，我们将在6月21-23日这三日间，运用影像装置等一些列活动呈现该项目，希望我们的互动和记录中所包含的内容能让参与的人“看见”这些能量，并对其有新的认识。

周五6月21日
18:00-20:00 乐友读书会及讨论（阅读内容在此下载）
20:00-22:00 影像装置 

周六6月22日
18:00-20:00 读书会及与风水大师杜顺杰、易经大师张力壬、音语舞老师治疗师Eva Bergwall、声学和振动的物理工程师Hartmut Walter、气功大师朱峰等特邀嘉宾进行讨论
20:00-22:00 影像装置

周日6月23日
19:00 晚餐及公开讨论（有机素食，88元/人，由植村絵美和岩間朝子掌厨，请邮件预定：lianxi@homeshop.org.cn）
20:00-22:00 影像装置

岩間朝子（出生于日本东京），艺术家及厨师，生活和工作在德国柏林。岩間的实践和研究主要围绕于“吃”的本体论。鉴于“吃”作为某种社会文化现象所隐喻的人类与自然关系， 岩間旨在于美学和认识论上转换人对饮食的认知。

Derrick Wang（出生于加拿大蒙特利尔），加拿大华人第二代，拥有建筑学背景，目前作为导演在北京工作。

真和假 True and False
家作坊@北京有机农夫市集
HomeShop @ Beijing Farmers’ Market

2013年夏天，家作坊将作为“北京有机农夫市集”的特别嘉宾出席每半个月一次的“真和假”艺术项目。

“真和假”项目第一期：

6月10日周一上午11点到17点在颐堤港购物中心将举办“真和假”活动第一期。澳大利亚艺术团队“平常美术馆”（Normal Gallery）将展出一些他们从澳大利亚买回来的“澳大利亚原住民纪念品”。这次展出的纪念品都是在中国制造，然后出口往澳大利亚，并卖给在当地旅游的人——而这些人大多数是中国游客。 “平常美术馆”（Normal Gallery）(Matthew Greaves, Daniel Stephen Miller, Rohan Schwartz) 将这些纪念品带到中国公众面前，而无需他们乘坐长途飞机去澳大利亚购买。“平常美术馆”还把这些原住民纪念品重新涂上了颜色，让它们看起来就像白人冲浪者，可以说是用一种扭曲的循环方式转变了不同文化符号。 家作坊也将在当天展出自己种植并制作的产品。

Over the summer of 2013, HomeShop will participate as a special guest of 北京有机农夫市集 Country Fair & Beijing Farmers’ Market in a bi-weekly series of artistic contributions titled “True and False.”

True and False #1

For the first edition, from 11 am to 5 pm on Monday June 10th at Indigo Mall, Melbourne-based collaboration Normal Gallery (Matthew Greaves, Daniel Stephen Miller and Rohan Schwartz) will be selling 400 hand-modified miniature figurines of Australian Aboriginals (originally made and hand-painted in China) repainted as archetypal caucasian beachgoers.  The figurines will be sold in their country of origin at the original cost price (4RMB each) to address the sovereignty, provenance and legitimacy of these exemplars of Australiana.

HomeShop will also offer a number of home-grown objects to the public.

A Constructed World, Hospitality, 2001 (presented by Anna Hess, 2011)

For the following meeting of Happy Friends we will meet on Sunday June 9th at 5 pm to discuss texts from “Speech Object” (2011) by Australian artist group A Constructed World (Geoff Lowe and Jacqueline Riva). They will be present via Skype thanks to Guo Hao. When the question came out: what is this about? the following gentle suggestion was made by Geoff:

Re: speech object- how to consume?
Hey Hao

well I think maybe the best way is to read these 2 short texts
…try this at home p27
speech objects p73
both are very short
-or a bit longer
a new role or repertoire… p32

the idea is to begin to track how the audience may be involved in a work even before it is made

to think away  from creation and expression ( where an art work appears from nothing)
to translation and diffusion

so with the audience rather than thinking they don’t-know ( stupid public who have to be educated)
begin to think about how any work of art may have origins in its audience.

its a prompt its not a manual
the book rose out of an exhibition in 4 parts that attempted to chart how a work and its reception could move around in space and time

hope this helps a bit!

The next meeting of the Happy Friends Reading Club will be held at HomeShop on Sunday June 2nd at 5 pm.

We will discuss the contents of the brief interview After the Event: Rationality and the Politics of Invention; An interview with Alain Badiou by Radical Politics between philosopher Alain Badiou and some students who form the Radical Politics Group at the University of Essex in 2003. From our brief foray into utopian studies, we wondered, can anything happen, does history exist, in utopia? And so the question of the event.

“It is imperative to understand that an event is always relative to a situation; it is an event for the situation, and not above or outside it. Consequently, when I say that an event is beyond calculation, beyond prediction, this is naturally beyond prediction within the situation of which the event is the supplement, or the added singularity. As such, the event is not in itself unintelligible: it is unintelligible in regard to the means of prediction, of forecast, or of continuity that are those of the situation. But the intelligibility of the event is created in the fidelity to the event.” —Alain Badiou
