Li Mu created works of different categories, including video, photography, installation and performance. He looked forward to transcending the boundaries of himself and broadening his understanding towards art via these works. Everyday life played an important role in his works. A relationship between the environment, the general public and him was established, blurring the boundary between art and life by resorting to his life experience.

仇庄项目，如何展示？

2013年至2014年，艺术家李牧回到他的家乡仇庄——中国江苏省丰县的一个村庄，他陆续复制了一系列西方著名的经典现代艺术作品，像索尔·勒维特、丹·弗莱文、理查德·朗、安迪·沃霍尔、丹尼尔·布伦、卡尔·安德鲁、约翰·考美林以及乌雷·阿布拉莫维奇的作品。这些来自凡·阿贝美术馆的馆藏艺术复制品被展示在仇庄的道路边以及村民的家裡。在一年多的时间里，李牧通过和家人及村民的合作，试图创造一种新的交流，借由艺术以了解自身，也为村庄打开一扇窗户。

李牧在项目实施的过程以及之后，陆续和艺术机构合作完成了一部五个小时的纪录片《仇庄日志》、英文版出版物《A Man, A Village, A Museum》以及一系列的展览和讲座。

借由这次分享会，李牧将和我们探讨仇庄项目的实施及展览过程中遇到的问题和思考：为何要逃离城市，到一个没有当代艺术的地方去？艺术家改变了村庄还是村庄改变了艺术家？项目经费从何而来？展览、纪录片、讲座和出版物，那种方式更好？项目艺术要不要回到美术馆？项目艺术该如何在美术馆展示？档案是项目的最终归宿吗？

关于《（生成）洁净 》展览

香港，20世纪初到70年代以前，兼具牛、猪、狗的检疫及屠宰功能，在70年代末到20世纪末只检疫牛只的马头角牛房（全名马头角牲畜检疫站）从2001年开始至今变成了“牛棚艺术村”。

从牛棚艺术村前身历史的提示出发，展览“（生成）洁净”与2017年10月10日至22日其单元8和单元N2呈现，邀请艺术家方璐&艾瑞、洪强、山河跳（黄河+黄山）、李牧及李消非从不同的相关点切入，结合自身创作的轨迹或自身已有的艺术项目——半命题式地创作。这些作品不同层面也在做着“洁净”的工作。




How to Display Qiuzhuang Project?

After a residency of a few weeks in the Van Abbemuseum in Eindhoven (NL), Chinese artist Li Mu developed a unique art project. In his home town, Qiuzhuang – a small village 800 kilometres south of Beijing – he copied classical modernist artworks by well-known Western artists like Sol LeWitt, Dan Flavin, Richard Long, Andy Warhol, Daniel Buren, Carl Andre, John Kormeling, as well as Ulay and Marina Abramovic from the collection of the Van Abbemuseum, displaying them in the houses and streets of Qiuzhuang. For more than a year, Li Mu collaborated with the villagers, trying to create the experience of what art brought to him and what it could bring to them.

After Li Mu finished his work in the village, he worked with his friends and art museums and finished a five-hour documentary "Qiuzhuang Log", the English book "A Man, A Village, A Museum" and a series of exhibitions and lectures.

At this event, Li Mu will discuss with us his questions and thoughts in the implementation and exhibition of the project: why should we escape from the city and go to a place where there is no contemporary art? Did the artist change the village or did the village change the artist? Where does the project’s funding come from? Exhibitions, documentaries, lectures and publications, which way is better? Should the art of a project be shown in an art museum? How can the project be shown in the museum? Is an archive the ultimate destination for the project?

From the beginning of the 20th century to the 1960s, the ma tau kok slaughter house (ma tau kok animal quarantine station) had both functions of inspecting and killing cows, pigs and dogs. From the end of the 1970s to the end of the 20th century, it only inspected cows, and since 2001, it became the Cattle Depot Artist Village (CDAV).  

In No.8 and No.N2 of CDAV, Hong Kong, from October 10th to 22th, 2017, the exhibition BECOMING departs from the history of CDAV, inviting artists, includingFang Lu & Arie Kishon, Hung Keung, Mountain River Jump! (Huang He & HuangShan), Li Mu and Li Xiaofei to create works or projects in terms of their own artistic trajectory added to the exhibition concept. To some degree, the works are doing a similar job of cleansing on different levels.
