@chimpomart a Shibuya-based Japanese artist group known for its specialization in throwing transgressive parties, created a long asphalt street for the 2017 #AsianArtBiennial and declared it to be a work of #art. This street connects the interior space of the National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts with the outside garden and public streets. “Well, it’s nothing but a street, isn’t it?” It’s literally a street, and a “way” inspired by the Sunflower Student Movement as well.
Chim↑Pom will host a concatenation of events on this street. The first step is to invite Taiwanese artist Betty Apple to throw a block party on this work of art. The new publicness and freedom ergo find manifestations in the revelries held in the given and repurposed public sphere under the collaboration between the Japanese artist group and Taiwanese artists.
To make their voice heard, people with different appeals have made appointments via the Internet and met in the streets since the late 20th century. They tend to throw block parties that occupy streets, issuing their appeals with music rather than violence. Since hegemonies are intolerant of revelries, the demonstration of revelries implies the presentation of public freedom, just as renowned critic Mikhail Bakhtin claimed: the carnivalesque with liberating potential formulated a concrete, sensitive formal language rich in symbolic meanings.
The Chinese title of this event 「道上趴體」appropriated the homophone of “party” in Chinese to denote the post-revelry physical state. On a more specific basis, human bodies need rest by freely lying down on the street after revelries. These bodies seem exhausted in appearance, yet in essence they are the momentum that keeps social movements going. #道上趴體 Art is in the pARTy is a delightful blend of different languages, styles and performing forms. It blurs theboundaries between literariness and non-literariness as well as between elegance and vulgarity of bodies in live performances. It shows the dynamism of art through live body politics, embodying authentic action art and conceptual art as a crow flies! ⋯⋯⋯⋯ #art_is_in_the_party
