回收嘉年华 Recycling Carnival ｜dweller x The Mu｜上海活动
装置艺术家暖暖将使用回收自一场真实嘉年华的遗弃废料，现场即兴搭建一个狂欢怪兽，大家可以看到它从无到有的过程，也请每位参与者携带自己想要投掷进主装置的垃圾、甚至可以是你自己的身体，艺术家会实时把它们作为素材嵌入装置里。
行为、表演艺术家Yuri Chen和Jared Mimm将穿戴同样由回收物料制作的装置进行表演，艺术家的身体将成为这些废弃物的延伸，不知疲倦又毫无目的，在这个怪异的乐园里进行着“西西弗斯式”的徒劳劳作。
Installation artist Tianyotala will use discarded waste reclaimed from an actual carnival to improvise the on-site construction of a "carnival monster," allowing the audience to witness its creation from scratch. Participants are also invited to bring their own trash to throw into the main installation—or even offer their own bodies—which the artist will embed into the artwork as material in real time.
Performance artists Yuri Chen and Jared Mimm will perform wearing installations similarly crafted from recycled materials. The artists' bodies will become an extension of these discarded objects, engaging in tireless yet aimless "Sisyphean" futile labor within this bizarre amusement park.
现场声音，将融合派对电子乐与真实嘉年华现场录音的混音，有一点错乱，也自由。
这里不要求你认真观看，入场将赠送一杯我们私藏酒馆的小酒，但你喝酒得先自己动手，我们准备了一堆有趣的道具，让你给自己打造酒杯；你可以像参加party一样喝酒聊天跳舞，无视表演；或是加入怪兽装置创作，现场与艺术家讨论想法创意；也可以瘫坐在某处允许自己做几个小时垃圾废料。
除此之外我们还有一小片禁区提供真正的自然休憩。
A mix blending party electronic music with live audio recordings from a real carnival—a little chaotic, yet completely liberating.
You aren't required to pay close attention here. Upon entry, you'll receive a complimentary drink from our private tavern, but you'll have to get hands-on first: we've prepared a bunch of fun props for you to build your own glass. You can drink, chat, and dance just like at a party, completely ignoring the performance; or you can join the creation of the monster installation, discussing your ideas and creativity with the artist on-site; alternatively, you can just slump down somewhere and let yourself be "trash" for a few hours.
In addition to all this, we also have a small "restricted zone" offering genuine, natural respite.
入场券80元，作为进入嘉年华的临时押金。活动结束时，你可以根据停留的时长领回你的押金（每分钟0.2元，作为你与我们共同虚度时光的回礼）你留得越久，外面的世界就离你越远。当然，你也有权选择“弃领”。
✉️本场为The Mu和dweller的合作活动，报名后请联系wechat：Dweller2024以确认
Tickets are 80 RMB, which serves as a temporary deposit for entry into the carnival. At the end of the event, you can reclaim your deposit based on how long you stayed (at a rate of 0.2 RMB per minute, as a return gift for idling away the time with us). The longer you stay, the further the outside world drifts away. Of course, you also have the right to "forfeit" your refund.
✉️ This is a collaborative event between The Mu and Dweller. After registering, please contact WeChat ID: Dweller2024 to confirm your spot.
我们期待各位用家里的废弃物制作单品，奇异装扮。
We invite you to create statement pieces from household trash and come dressed in your most bizarre attire!
艺术家介绍
暖暖Tianyotala
跨领域创作者。创作涵盖装置雕塑、首饰设计、影像及实验剧场。擅长以“现成品”进行魔法般的即兴改造，在超现实意象与叙事性空间中，创造出一种自省式的超载视觉，并以此映射一种无法被解答的荒诞。
Tianyotala is a Chinese interdisciplinary artist. Her work spans installation sculpture, jewelry design, video art, and experimental theater. She is skilled at the magical, improvisational transformation of "readymade" objects, creating a self-reflective overload of visuals within surreal imagery and narrative spaces, through which she reflects an absurdity that defies resolution.
陈昱汝 Yuri Chen
行为艺术家，剧场创作者
作品聚焦于公共空间，冗长而无聊的时间，被压抑的有机体，一个与多个，系统与死机，上与下的关系，浮和游的差别。
乐于在固化的系统中充当一块彩色的绊脚石。
也使用器乐声音作为非言语性叙事。
时常通过突如其来的方式，唤醒内隐于惯性之下的深层知觉。
Yuri Chen, she is a performance artist.
Her works focus on public space, long and boring time, repressed organisms, one and many, systems and bugs, the relationship between high and low, the difference between floating and swimming.
She is happy to act as a colorful stumbling block in a solidified system.
Instrumental sounds are also used as nonverbal narratives.
Often through sudden ways, awaken the deep consciousness hidden under the inertia.
Jared Mimm
Jared Mimm is an American conceptual performance artist based in Shanghai. Through his art, he hopes to let the audience break free of the endless cycle of consumption, embarking on a more thoughtful, perhaps poetic, path of awareness. Recurring themes in his work involve the body, nonverbal communication, ritual, sound, and intimacy.
Jared Mimm 是一位驻扎在上海的美国观念表演艺术家，他创作作品希望让观众摆脱空洞的沉迷，并走上比无尽消费循环更深思熟虑和更具诗意的道路。他的艺术中反复出现的主题涉及身体、非语言交流、仪式、声音和亲密关系。
为什么做这件事？
这次来上海参加了六天的艺术嘉年华。狂欢散场后，我看着那些被丢弃的、曾经承载过欢笑和梦想的物料，觉得它们不该就这么死掉。我想给这些物质“多一点时间”，在它们彻底变成垃圾前，做一次“延迟的代谢”。
它是一次对“精致生活”的野蛮入侵，是一场发生在消费主义腹地的、关于虚无的转译，是对于“梦想”与“欲望”之间界限的追问，以及由此而产生的物质的沉重感的反思。
有趣的是，在和Jared还有Yuri达成合作意愿后，我看到他们二位发来的文字介绍，与此次活动想要表达的东西竟非常契合！
——暖暖
I recently came to Shanghai to participate in a six-day art carnival. After the revelry faded, I looked at the discarded materials that had once carried so much laughter and so many dreams, and I felt they shouldn’t just die like this. I wanted to give these materials "a little more time"—to allow for a "delayed metabolism" before they completely turned into trash.
This is a savage intrusion upon "refined living," a translation of nothingness unfolding right in the heartland of consumerism. It is an interrogation of the boundary between "dreams" and "desire," and a reflection on the resulting heaviness of materiality.
Interestingly, after agreeing to collaborate with Jared and Yuri, I read the written statements they sent over, and they aligned perfectly with what this event seeks to express!
