Hausian Herman’s Archive Workshop 匯舍藝術家 Herman 的檔案工作坊
16:00 - 18:30, 28/11/2020 (Sat 六)
Idea developed and hosted by 工作坊意念及主辦
Herman Rahman
The aims of the workshop is to expand ideas around the archive, the limits, potential and looking at an archive as a departure point in one's practice. The workshop looks to view an archive as a means of not only preserving the past, but about modes of sharing the common. Participants are encouraged to build an archive, with the eventual goal of building up narratives using a common pool of images. The ideas around the workshop include authorship. multimodality, and appropriation, including the application of the archive in an art practice.
這個工作坊希望拓展關於檔案（Archive）的概念、界限，以及潛能，將檔案視為實踐的起點。這個工作坊嘗試將檔案看待成不只是紀錄過往，更是一種分享共同點的模式。參加者嘗試建立檔案，務求使用共同的影像庫敍事。工作坊的意念將包括著作權、多模態、以及挪用，包括將檔案應用在藝術創作上。

"(Chinese text below) HART Social Studio Showcase “#Ew! Normal?” presents an exciting opportunity to visit the space where 17 artists of diverse backgrounds explore synergetic art practices and create a community of their own. This particular showcase brings up the question of what it means to be ‘social’ in the ‘socially distanced era’.
Visitors will not only have the opportunity to view displayed artwork from each of the artists, but also have the chance to be welcomed into the private workstations of the participating artists. The showcase also consists of the dialogues and dynamics arising in the art ecosystem.
The opening of the showcase will be at 6pm, 20 November (Friday) with a collective performance; rethinking the community building ethos of HART Haus. The showcase will also include a workshop to reveal how both communal and individual narratives are created from participant photographs, and will occur on 28 November (Saturday). Lastly, panel discussions will occur on 5 December (Saturday). They will involve the participating artists and the members of the collective performance to examine a deeper meaning the social within contemporary art practice.
The showcase will open to the public for six weeks, from 20 November 2020 until 6 January 2021. Prior to visiting, make sure to reserve a timeslot 24 hours in advance at the top of this page. Opening hours are 3~7pm on weekdays and 12~5pm on Weekends. The showcase will be closed on 25, 26, 31 December and 1 January. We look forward to showcasing the social with you through these final days of a most abnormal year."
