2011年5月18日至2011年6月5日
18 May – 5 June 2011

“大陆漂流.中国”活动将众多的艺术家，策展人，理论家，与活动家召集到一起，共同探索当 代地理政治转化对于公共框架与亲密生存 空间的影响。在一周的时间里，本活动将“漂”在北京，尝试将抽象分析（经济，社会学，都市生活研究，美学等等）直接导入不同的艺术实践当中。通过报告，工 作坊，讨论会与实地考察等方式，我们希望自己能在闹市与乡间的穿梭中构建一个充满欢乐，感觉试验，偶遇与思考的游历方式。

The Continental Drift China brings together artists, curators, theorists, and activists to explore the impacts that current geopolitical transformations are having on the public frameworks and intimate environments of existence. For one week, the roving seminar will drift through Beijing, endeavouring to bring abstract analysis (economics, sociology, urbanism, aesthetics, etc.) into direct contact with situated projects. By way of presentations, a workshop, discussion sessions and site visits, the project provides a movement through space thriving on conviviality, perceptual experimentation, unexpected encounters and informed travel in both metropolitan and rural settings.

（中西部激进文化走廊之）罗盘 Compass (of the Midwest Radical Culture Corridor)
克莱尔·潘迪科斯特，莎拉·刘易森，布赖恩·霍姆斯与王念华来自一个由大约15位居住在美国中西部州的艺术家、作家和行动者所组成，以“罗盘”为名，结构松散的协会。我们对构成一个可持续未来的区域范围内的经济与文化怀有共同的兴趣，作为此兴趣的一部分，在过去的四年里，我们参与了众多团体、小组与个人项目，穿过时间与空间，将我们所在与世界上其他国家相连接在一起。作为发掘、思索并激活我们所栖居之地区中那许多的另类历史与可能的未来之过程中的一个训练，我们运用了些譬如中西部激进文化走廊，石油时空连续体，范围的伦理学等等诸如此类的专门用语。我们以不同人员组成不同的组合，在多地进行了多样性的调查，足迹涉及南俄亥俄、威斯康星的乡野、明尼阿波利斯、底特律，以及此刻的北京。
Claire PENTECOST, Sarah LEWISON, Brian HOLMES, and Dan S. WANG belong to a loose association of about fifteen artists, writers, and activists who live in the midwestern states of America and work together under the name Compass. As part of our shared interest in the regional scales of economy and culture that constitute our sustainable future, for the last four years we have been engaged in numerous group, sub-group, and individual projects that together connect where we are to the rest of the world, over time and space. As an exercise in excavating, thinking through, and activating the many alternative histories and possible futures of the region we inhabit, we use terminologies such as midwest radical culture corridor, petroleum space-time continuum, and ethics of scale. Our various investigations have taken different combinations of us to southern Ohio, rural Wisconsin, Minneapolis, Detroit, and now Beijing.

Brian HOLMES is an activist researcher and translator who writes in three languages. His critical essays and polemics have been collected in three books, Escape the Overcode, Hieroglyphs of the Future, and Unleashing the Collective Phantoms. He frequently contributes to the Nettime mailinglist, lives in Chicago, and is on the faculty of the European Graduate School.

Sarah LEWISON is a media artist who teaches at Southern Illinois University at Carbondale. Much of her research focuses on the economics, politics, and possibilities of energy production and transfer, from the coal mining of Appalachia to the mushroom cultivation processes of Yunnan farmers. She arrives in Beijing fresh from having delivered a presentation at the Radical Art Practises exhibition in Malmö, Sweden.

Since the inception of the project, she has worked continuously in the context of urban development and collaborative art practice.

家作坊 HomeShop
家作坊位于北京市中心旧城区的一条胡同里，2008年创办。是艺术家发起的一个门市居所项目。其空间极其门脸被用作一个审视公与私，商业交流与纯粹交流等相互接续往复的起点。通过多元，交织的小型活动系列、介入、以及纪录等过程，艺术工作者、设计师和思想者相聚于此，家作坊起到了一个开放平台的作用。在此平台上，我们质疑现存的经济与艺术产物。日常生活、工作、社团生活成为了微观关系可能性及共同工作的探索。
HomeShop began as a storefront residence and artist initiative in Beijing, 2008. Located in the centre of Beijing on one of its old hutong alleyways, the space and its window front are used as the beginning points from which to examine ways of relaying between public and private, the commercial and pure exchange as such. Artists, designers and thinkers come together via multiple, interwoven series of small-scale activities, interventions and documentary gestures, processes by which HomeShop serves as an open platform to question existing models of economic and artistic production. Daily life, work and the community become explorations of micropolitical possibility, and of working together.
