Exhibition Schedule
Date: September 28, 2023, 18:00-21:30
Location: A4 Art Museum (LuxeTown Mountaintop Plaza / A4 Art Museum Exhibition Hall)
Throughout the entire workshop, there has been one essential factor accompanying the body: time. In Zhou Bin’s syllabus, the timing is meticulously detailed—420 minutes each day, 15 minutes for the introduction, 20 minutes for self-introductions, 30 minutes for discussions, 15 minutes for specific exercises, and so on. The course time is precisely divided. As participants engaged in individual exercises, we observed that each person’s relationship with time was unique—slow, sporadic, and discontinuous. The time taken from contemplation to activating the body, and then to the body driving action, varied greatly among individuals. During outdoor exercises, the time spent observing others, the time of their interventions, and the timing of choosing the next space also seemed to be subtly calculated. The time spent on each participant’s physical training experience was also honestly reflected in their understanding and use of the body during the course.
These instances of time contributed to the triggering of instant power. Our bodies possess the capability for sudden enlightenment, but today, our primal sensory abilities are overwhelmed by the vast influx of external information, leading to an overloaded mind. This makes it difficult to achieve a relaxed state or fully engage in intense focus. I particularly appreciate Zhou Bin’s remark about the workshop: “The workload is heavy, requiring full mental and physical focus and concentrated attention.” A course like “Trigger” is crucial, and we eagerly anticipate this 180-minute exhibition that will take place on a single night.
Special thanks to teaching assistants Song Huiren and Yang Junfeng for their tremendous support in the “Trigger” project!
