Dalang Stairs       May 2015

This May, ECS were invited by Handshake 302 to carry out an interesting painting project on the stairs of the Dalang Youth Dream Town in Longhua District. We started to paint on May 8th and participated the opening ceremony of Dalang Graffiti Festival on May 9th. Unfortunately the rainy season started and we had to postpone the mural painting a few times due to the bad weather. Eventually when the sun was shining on the last weekend of May and we had the time to complete the stair painting perfectly, with the help of many volunteers.

To create a better environment for the young people living in Dalang, the introduction of the stairs, inspired by the Shanghai Grand World, imagines the upper dormitory rooms are theater seats and the downstairs area as the center stage. It has since become the youth theater and performing arts center in the local area.

大浪梦中心阶梯涂鸦       2015年5月

今年5月，我们 ECS 受握手302邀请和大浪梦中心的支持，对青年梦中心的阶梯进行实地涂鸦创作。5月8日开始第一场的进行，5月9日大浪涂鸦艺术节开幕式；在这个多雨的季节，中间好几次因天气原因而延误，但我们也竟然在5月最后一周完满地完成了创作。

为周围的青年营造一个更好的生活环境，阶梯当时参考了上海大世界的设计，想象上面房间为包房，下面为舞台。建成后，其定位于青年剧场，和表演中心。

Guan Lan NEW WHO Project鳌湖艺术村项目       May 2014   

The New Who group in Guan Lan is an artist village for contemporary art that embraces raw talent and innovative artistic creations. Paintings, live art, sculpture. ECS’s project includedthree manhole cover paintings and a large wall mural.

观澜鳌湖艺术村是一个以现代艺术为主的艺术家村落，村子欢迎各种纯粹的艺术家人才和创新艺术。村里有随处可见的绘画作品，现场艺术活动和雕塑作品。此次我们ECS项目包含了3个井盖涂鸦和一个大型的墙绘。

The theme for Phase Oneof the project was ‘Exploring New Who’. For the wall mural design, ECS Co-Founder, Zoe Latham, took inspiration from the old vernacular architecture around Guan Lan and chose key patterns and forms that were repeated around the village. These forms were then simplified in to their most basic of shapes and made into stencils. The forms were collaged back together to make a colourful, site specific and simple design that anyone could take part in.

第一期项目的主题是“发现鳌湖”。墙绘作品是由ECS合办人Zoe Latham设计的。她的创作灵感来自观澜老村的古建筑楼宇，收集了村子里随处可见的主要花纹与框架图案。这些图案最终被简化成一些基本形状来做成各种模板。最后与不同图案拼贴在一起，做成一个色彩鲜艳，具有地方特色但是又非常简单的墙绘设计方案，让大家都可以参与到绘画中来。

 The designs for the three manhole covers were very different as they were painted by multiple artists. One was based on the idea of water escaping the manhole cover, another transformed the manhole cover into magnifying glass which was a play on the exploration idea and the last was inspired by a crystal ball game.

其它三个井盖的涂鸦设计风格非常不一样，因为他们是由不同的艺术家完成的。其中一个作品是地下水溢出井盖的想法，而另外一个是用井盖来作为放大镜，意为发现与探索。最后一个是受弹珠水晶球游戏的启发而设计。

 “The New Who project went very well. The local villagers think it brings a freshness to their community.“Mrs Wang, the coordinator of New Who village,continued to say that “the multicultural experience and the participation of the volunteers is a great thing for the local people here. They will welcome and continue to support similar projects in the future.”

 主办方负责人王小姐说，“鳌湖艺术村此次的项目，大家反映很不错，当地的村民觉得此类活动很新鲜。”她认为，“生活环境有了多元的文化体验和参与者加入，对生活在这里的人们是一

件非常棒的事情，此后也会对类似的活动继续保持开放与支持的态度。”

PROJECT PORTFOLIO

Guan Lan NEW WHO ART FESTIVAL OPENING CEREMONY           February 2015

ECS was invited back by New Who art village to join in the fun of the New Who Art Festival opening ceremony after the success of our first project.  We were asked to set up a group of volunteers to paint a long wall mural project throughout the opening day of the festival. With limited preparation time ECS managed to pull together ideas from volunteers and organizers combined. This community driven art project proved to bring people from all backgrounds together.

By making the most of existing wall conditions, we treated each tile as a pixel – allowing us to create simple and clean designs that everyone could get involved with. ECS volunteers engaged the local community and passers-by to join in and paint the pixels. Local children from New Who village showed great interest and passion during the project. Local TV networks covered the ECS project on the daily news.

   鳌湖艺术节开幕式创作活动                          

2015年2月

 继去年在鳌湖艺术村进行了第一次成功的尝试后，ECS今年受邀再次参加鳌湖艺术村举行的艺术节开幕式，召集一批志愿者于开幕式当天完成了一幅长墙的墙绘项目。虽然准备时间很短，但是在志愿者和组织者的共同努力下ECS还是圆满完成了此次任务。ECS再一次把不同背景的志愿者聚集起来，通过艺术项目提升我们身边的社区环境

关于这次墙绘的设计，我们充分利用现有墙面的特点，把每一块小砖当成一个像素点，设计出简洁有趣的涂绘方案，让每个人都可以参与其中。除了ECS志愿者，现场墙绘还吸引了鳌湖村当地的社区居民和路人加入。村里的小孩子们更是感兴趣，全程认真专注地帮忙涂绘，让我们非常感动。ECS项目活动上了深圳都��频道《第一现场》新闻栏目对鳌湖艺术节开幕式报道现场。
