CALLING ALL ARTISTS! 上海艺术家申请！

我们诚邀你来参与“自备投影”（Bring Your Own Beamer， BYOB）上海。BYOB是一系列在全球各地举行在一夜间发生的展览，参展艺术家将安排自己的投影仪，通过利用光线、声音、装置和行为之间的互动探索投影这个媒介。在2010年，艺术家Rafeal Rozendaal和 Anne de Vries在柏林发起了BYOB，从此演变成一个国际性的DIY体验。

今年,BYOB 上海的参展艺术家们将投影于 1933 老场坊独特的建筑上。这栋楼房含有了中西建筑设计元素,反 映着旧上海的愿景和抱负。它原来的结构是一个屠宰场,但是在它悠久的历史里,也曾经是一个工厂及冷库。后 来它被修复及重新装修成它原来的状态,忠于它的历史性建筑,同时有效适应现代的利用。

鉴于这个建筑的历史(及上海在当代中国的独特角色),BYOB 上海希望探索“开始”和“结束”在“循环” 中象征意义。开始在什么时候结束?结尾在什么时候开始?时间和动态如何开始、结束及不断地循环?

循环的象征性及螺旋形的感觉贯穿着整个建筑——也许隐喻着在过去来来往往的生活。虽然这栋楼房的用途经历 过变化,但是它结构的核心保持完好,在上海这个不断发展的中国主要国际城市象征性地循环着。

我们鼓励 BYOB 上海的艺术家们使用任何创意性的手段去探索对于“开始/结束/循环”这个主题,从而与过 去、现在及未来这个无可避免的生命循环接洽,同时实验地运用影像及声音媒介。

1933 老场坊提供了种种不同能投影的可能性,包括墙面、地面、柱子、天花板、楼梯及走廊等。艺术家们应充 分考虑投影手段的多样化,比如使用卷轴机、幻灯机、投影仪、激光、灯光及其他装置、现场录像、音乐及声音 表演等。 

“BYOB-上海”报名要求…

简单的条款及准则：

You are invited to submit to Bring Your Own Beamer (BYOB) Shanghai. BYOB is a series of one-night international exhibitions where artists bring their own beamers (projectors) and explore the medium of projection by creating a collaborative happening of moving light, sound, installation and performance. Visit byobworldwide for documentation.

This year, BYOB Shanghai will project onto the unique architecture of 1933老场坊.  Its original structure was intended as an operating abattoir (or slaughterhouse), but in years passing also functioned as a factory and cold storage facility. It was later restored and refurbished to its current state.

In light of the history of the building (and Shanghai’s unique role in contemporary China), BYOB Shanghai wants to explore the symbolic nature of beginnings and endings on loop. Where do beginnings end? Where do endings begin? How do time and motion begin and end, again and again?

BYOB Shanghai artists are encouraged to explore this BEGIN / END / LOOP theme, in hopes of engaging in the past, present and future inevitable cycles of life, while also referencing the video/film and sound mediums they will be experimenting with.

1933 老场坊 offers a myriad of possibility for projection, on walls, floors, pillars, ceilings, stairs and projecting walkways. Artists should consider pushing DIY boundaries in using the unique architecture of this slaughterhouse to explore the medium of projection through various means, including slide-projectors, overhead projectors, video/film projectors, lasers, moving light, installation, live VJ-ing and music/sound.

To submit your work to participate in BYOB Shanghai...

The simple terms and guidelines:

Email a proposal including your installation ideas with samples and/or your portfolio to Margot, Michelle and Tina at byobshanghai@gmail.com. We will consider your content based on the overall theme and will contact you in a timely manner to confirm your participation in the show.

Submissions are due no later than October 8th , 2014.

Bring your own beamers/projectors, video playback devices, speakers, extension cords and etc. We are not responsible for providing your equipment or accessories. This is to stay true to the DIY nature of this Bring Your Own Beamer exhibition series.

Installation will be the morning of the exhibition November 8th, 2014, starting at 10am. The exhibition will last from 7:30pm to 10:30pm. Artists are encouraged to arrive early for a timely install in case of last minute troubleshooting for unforeseen technical issues.

Tear-down: All artists must disassemble their installations, projections, and equipment following the end of the exhibition, that same day. 

Participants are responsible for the safety of their own equipment. Please keep an eye on your equipment at all times and make sure to secure all items appropriately to avoid any damage to the building or your things.

About BYOB

BYOB (Bring Your Own Beamer) is a series of international do-it-yourself one-night exhibitions where artists experiment with the medium of projection. BYOB originated in Berlin, Germany in 2010 by artists Rafaël Rozendaal and Anne de Vries and has since grown in worldwide popularity, expanding the DIY experience to cities across the globe. (www.byobworldwide.com)

BYOB （ Bring Your Own Beamer “自备投影”）是一系列探索投影这个媒介的国际性的展览。BYOB于2010年由艺术家Rafael Rozendaal和Anne de Vries在德国柏林始创，现在已经发展成为了一个世界性的DIY体验，并持续在全球各地进行。(www.byobworldwide.com)

On Saturday, November 8th, 2014, BYOB Shanghai will project onto the surfaces of the historic building 1933 老场坊, situated in Hongkou District, North Bund. Each artist will have just a few hours to set up and install a projection-based installation art piece in the space of their choosing (using all of their own materials and equipment) before the location is opened to the public for free viewing.

BYOB上海将于2014年11月8日（周六）投影于北外滩虹口区的一栋历史性楼房——1933老场坊。所有艺术家在场地对外开放之前只有仅仅几个小时的布展时间，在他们自选的空间里安装一个以投影媒介为中心的装置作品（艺术家必须自备所有材料及器材）。

Opened in 1933, the building was originally a slaughterhouse conceived by noted British architect Balfours and represents an extraordinary reflection on the vision and ambition of Old Shanghai. Incorporating both Chinese and Western elements of design, the open-air concept with spiral staircases and various angles creates a mysterious blank canvas for moving image, light and sound to infiltrate; wherein artists will transform this notable building into a new space that echoes the ever-expanding and fast-paced city that surrounds it.

中西建筑设计元素，开放式的概念，连同螺旋形的楼梯及不同的角度形成了一个具有神秘感的空白画布，等待着图像、光线及声音的潜入。艺术家将转变这个有名的楼房成一个新的空间，从而反映它周遭不断扩展的快节奏城市。

The cycles of construction, refurbishment, and reinterpretation of the building and its usage resonate with the history, development and expansion of Shanghai. Inside a square exterior, 1933 老场坊 has a circular inner structure whose repetitive nature instills a metaphorical feeling of time in motion, beginning and ending, again and again. This feeling sparked the inspiration for the curatorial theme of BEGIN/END/LOOP , which also references looping in experimental film, video and sound mediums.

这栋楼房的建设、装修及重新解读的循环和它过去不同的用途与上海市的历史、发展及扩展有所共鸣。在正方形的建筑内，1933老场坊有一个环形的内部结构，它的重复性质带有一种隐喻着时间的动态，开始结束，周而复始。这种感觉正是这次策展概念——“开始／结束／循环”的激发点，同时与在电影、录像及声音媒介中对循环的实验有所关联。

BYOB Shanghai’s collective of artists are not limited to the flat surfaces of concrete walls, but are encouraged to engage in the remarkable architecture of 1933 老场坊, to project on walls, floors, pillars, ceilings, stairs and projecting walkways.

Artists will interpret forms of projection through various means, including slide projectors, video/film projectors, lasers, lighting, installation and live VJ-ing to investigate and illuminate the theme of beginnings and endings on loop A series of curated sound and music performances will also accompany the exhibition, helping to create an ambiance and soundscape as unique and memorable as the building itself.

BYOB上海的艺术家并不被局限于水泥的墙面上，而将以新的方式，通过投影在墙面、地面、柱子、天花板、楼梯及走廊等空间与1933老场坊这个独特的传统建筑物进行交流。艺术家们将考虑到投影手段的多样化，包括使用幻灯机、投影仪、激光、灯光及其他装置和现场录像、音乐及声音表演等方式去探索及阐明循环中的始终这个主题。一系列的声音和音乐表演将配合着展览进行，以创造一种声景，从而添加气氛。
