泉州古城布局，黄色的为五代前期城墙(AD886)，
红色的为五代后期城墙
The layout of Quanzhou ancient city,
the yellow is the fifth generation of the city wall (AD886),
the red is the fifth generation of the late wall

泉州的驻地本身正在书写一部小说,
几位艺术家因为千年前的一个名字来到这座城,
探寻遗址,留下了种种传闻。
延续上一回五代的留从效城故事,
移步至王城的后花园,时间跳回近代,
故事里的主角们会在故事里写下什么令人期待的故事?
参杂着偶然性和现世的行动,
阅读进入了第二章节。

1. 遗传记忆放映机/Animus

我对泉州断断续续展开两年的田野调查后构思了一个名为“遗传记忆放映机/Animus”的计划，邀请了策展人龙奕瑭和艺术家林桂明一起策办，是在泉州的第一个策展实验。希望将城市本身作为一个生命体来看待，并以整个城市作为展览空间。

2.游吟诗人的锚点/方志小说联合驻地计划

继春天发生的野骨力艺术驻地第一期，十月，游吟诗人们再次汇集泉州华侨新村进行一场演绎。试图把地方经验的记述行动与写作行动、艺术行动并置，相互沟通、彼此参互，从而寻求重塑泉州华侨新村这一“记忆叠加”的潜在路径。

3. 天地无用，易碎注意/天地无用，われもの注意

十二月，受日本横滨黄金町艺术共生计划（NPO）之邀，野骨力发起了一次驻地征集，将艺术家带往日本，尝试与策展人，程序员，艺术社区共同协作。在文化流变的夹缝中开个玩笑。

野骨力艺术项目介绍

野骨力艺术项目，由一群在世界各地游吟的艺术家与策展人在泉州于2018年3月启动的艺术计划，通过展览、驻地等形式推广当代艺术，发掘艺术家并一起成长。它源于对虚拟世界的感知，试图以一种寻宝者的视角在记忆遗迹的系统漏洞中寻找宝藏，汇编成新的开源脚本上传至现实中。

Animus/ A Projector which Renders Genetic Memories 

The outline of Aminus project had gradually come to my mind during my two-year field research about Quanzhou.  The idea then became the first experimental curating project launched in Quanzhou, Fujian, in collaboration with curator Long Yitang and artist Lin Guiming. The project proposed a perspective that treats the city itself as a creature, and uses the organic city space as exhibition space.

Anchor of Troubadour / Gazetteer-Novel residency program

On October 2018, troubadours gathered again in the overseas Chinese village in Quanzhou for another performance. Through the combination of narration, (re)writing and art making of local stories, Wild Effort Art Project sought for reconstruct the potential path leading people to discover different layers of memory about the overseas Chinese village.

Tentimuyou Waremonotyuui / This Side Up, Be Cautious.

On December 2018, Wild Effort Art Project held another artists-in-residency in Yokohama, Japan at the invitation of Koganecho Area Management Center (NPO). WEAP visited Japan for the first time, explored collaboration between curators, artists, programmers and art communities, and created a serious joke in between cultures.

Wild Effort Art Project (WEAP)

Wild Effort Art Project (WEAP) was launched in Quanzhou, Fujian in March, 2018 by a group of storytellers, artists and curators. Via exhibitions and artist residencies, WEAP is committed to sharing contemporary art with a wider audience, discovering and growing with artists. Originated from the curiosity of the virtual world, WEAP explores the system of human memory remains, treasure hunting for episodic lost memory, then decodes them as open source scripts ready to be uploaded to the reality.
