The non-stop exhibitions and opening parties in the academy are very familiar to us. Often at the opening, it is no stranger to see crowded at the door. However, during the exhibition period, there are always the empty exhibition hall. So we thought, what would it be like to hold an exhibition with only an opening party and no specific works? And this opening party is not held in the familiar exhibition space, but on the street, what kind of dialogue can it produce?
So the venue was set on the crowded streets of Ximending, and in the name of the opening, the teachers and students of the college were invited to the street. For the audience of the academy, the opening party is an event attached to the exhibition, and what they care about is where is the exhibition? Where is the work? But for the audience in Ximending, what they care about is whether the food can be taken? Do they need money? Even they didn't care what the opening party was for.
At the moment of asking questions, or the moment of picking up the food, whether it is the passing audience, or the teachers and students in the college, they have changed from a bystander or a theatergoer to an actor and participated in this performance.
