由全藝社主辦「New City 魯爾、巴士度新作展」將於三月五日（星期五）下午七時於全藝社開幕。是次展覽由José Drummond策劃，展出旅居柏林的澳門藝術家魯爾、巴士度（Rui Calçada Bastos）於駐澳創作的最新作品，包括攝影十四幅及一套錄像作品。
十四幅攝影作品充分展現藝術家魯爾對城市的洞察力，兒時長大於澳門的魯爾，現時長居於歐洲藝術之都柏林進行全職創作，是次回到澳門三個月，驚訝澳門的發展與變化，開始就其個人對城市的觀察進行創作，其新作中近乎變種的空間不但刺激觀眾的創意想像，並對人類在自身環境的立場等問題提出爭論。作品中一個男人獨自在空空如也的街道上走著。他回望，但仍然不確定自己的位置，漫無目的地走著。一個女人尋找出租房屋，發現被注視後隨即轉過頭來。她是否只是亞洲小說中的一個過客，還是一個似要消失於「新城」的人類？另一個男人是空曠的工地上的稀有生物。迷失於敞大的空間，他試著去證實那四周機器的真偽，也便成為了柔焦鏡下所捕捉的模糊影像。他們有別於未來數位世界的「夢幻公園」中出現的一群。幻想中的世界總是美好的，那裡的天空色彩繽紛、花朵比生命更為璀璨。尾段描述一對夫婦陶醉於賭博中，他們的行為不正正是一種虛偽、一個不曾存在事物的「宣傳」嗎？說明了某些事情的另一面，事實也未必如眼前所見。這種極端環境是否正引領我們到一個看不見的世界，當中「禁止掉頭」似乎要說明「新城」裡的潛在信息。
而錄像短片作品《幾部曲》─ 更為「新城」畫上一個完美的句號。《幾部曲》中出現的混亂場面源於夢想與現實之間的不平衡。在殘酷的現實中，處於某個適當的位置或屬於某個領域往往會暴露出我們的孤獨感。
「New City 魯爾、巴士度新作展」藝術家試圖擺脫藝術的領域，反映真實的人生，其假設觀察是科學的重要元素之一，作品的每個部份都屬於一種記錄，然而，作品並沒有試圖建立任何「絕對真理」，而是讓觀眾自己去詮釋。展覽由全藝社主辦，澳門特別行政區政府社會文化司贊助，三月五日（星期五）下午七時開幕，展覽日期至四月十一日，展覽期間須先致電預約參觀，展覽地點為澳門啤利喇街45至49號聯興針織廠三樓，查詢及預約參觀請致電28366064，電郵：afamacao@gmail.com，全藝社網址：www.afamacau.com。

No U-Turn

A man walks alone in an empty road. He looks back. He still wonders about his position and it’s not clear that he knows exactly where he’s going. A woman looks for rental opportunities but turns her head when being observed. Is she a transit character in an Asian fiction or simply the human element that seems to be missing in “New City”. Another man is the only living figure in a sweeping construction site. Apparently lost in the enormous scale around him he validates the machinery, becoming the soft focus of the ambiguous situation he is in.
They are different from the one walking in the ‘dream park’, found in a digitally enhanced prospect of a near future. The about to be, always brighter, where skies have different colors and flowers are bigger than life.
For this play to be complete, where everything points to the idea that something is wrong and things may not be what they seem a couple is happily gaming, but aren’t they another pretension, a ‘propaganda’ of something that maybe will never exist.
‘No U-Turn seems to be the underlying message in “New City”.
Rather than promoting complacent acceptance of the agglutination that we all live in, “New City” engages us visually with other apparent empty sceneries, leaving us clues regarding questions of significant value. It’s accepted that we seem compelled to alter the spaces around us, but there’s no rational explanation for the extrapolations of identity to which humans are subjected.
The selected alter-spaces of the works incite the viewer to creative thought, proposing a debate on problematic matters of the position of the human being in his environment. Humans are undoubtedly the most dominant species but aren’t these extreme size surroundings leading us to the point of invisibility?
To imagine a city without people…
The white building close up where a car will be expected some time or the CCTV camera pointing to something that we can’t see are showing us that life is at some point expected.
The paradigm of the expectant “New City” is explicitly shown in the empty blue bench to sit and look to the same blue wall or in the sign of a possible older city reflected in the rain water of a tartan track.
This indigent and abandoned place in heartless disorder is also diagnosed in “Few Steps”, the ‘finishing touch’ video of “New City”. In “Few Steps” the axis of this disturbance emanates from the inability to reconcile between the dream and the harsh reality where being in the proper place or belonging to something is reduced to the disclosure of our own loneliness.
These works disintegrate conceptually from inside, they slip out from the realm of art and approach life. Assuming that observation is one important element of science each one of the works is a document of some sort. “New City” casts the artist in the role of expert authority and aesthetic interpreter, as an anthropologist of this particular time where persistent issues of desegregation rise constantly. However the work of Rui Calcada Bastos leaves these issues open to individual interpretation rather than striving to establish any ‘absolute truth’.
The identity of these spaces is not evident. Not evident is also the reality of them being immutable which ultimately points us to a certain dysfunctionality and thereby in some point to a certain oblivion, breathless, about to explode but kept closely under a thin layer of illusion.

MAC - 《零壹》最後召集創作人 Last crew call of Infinity

Thu, 04 Mar 2010 20:12:15 +0000

(SCROLL DOWN FOR ENGLISH)

澳門創作人協會 (澳門‧腦人) 2010年度創作項目《零壹》項目大綱及創作人召募

前言

澳門創作人協會 (澳門.腦人) 自創會以來，每年均舉辦一個大型的年度創作項目：06年創作項目《澳門.聖誕.2005》以錄像方式呈現澳門創作人的處境；07年《未命名的章節》以文字關注澳門社會環境的變遷；08年《回問》以音樂反映這個時代澳門人的人心；09年《09創出口》赴香港和廣州交流並推廣澳門的創作。

過往腦人的創作項目均以關心澳門為主題，而我們亦成功將創意作品推廣至海外多個地方，包括香港、中國大陸、台灣、新加坡、馬來西亞、英國、美國等地。因此，在2010年度創作項目《零壹》裡面，腦人要將主題放大至世界各地我們所需要關心的事情。

---

《零壹》主題內容

活在當下是快活，能延續到明天是快樂。
澳門是一個很幸福的城市，但幸福是需要被珍惜的，
不然的話，就變成一種暫時的存在，並不是天長地久的擁有。
例如細嚐吞拿魚時，誰會想過牠們正面臨絕種？
我們要享受快活，難道就要撇下「未來」不管嗎？

關心「未來」，是我們的責任。腦人透過本年度創作項目《零壹》*，以澳門為原點出發，將我們思考和關心的話題輸送到世界每個角落，以創作來保護地球，讓世界變得更美好。

這個創意項目以「未來」為主題，將會由眾多創作人的作品集合而成，各自以不同的創作方式表達對「未來」的所思所想。

在這個項目中，我們將建立一個「網上創意平台」，把不同形式的創作和創意產品電子化，放到網上創意平台上展示及售賣。藉著無遠弗屆的網絡世界，把多樣化的澳門創作輸送及推廣到世界各地，讓人們思考和關心「未來」。

*最基本的電腦語言是「0」和「1」，由此可以無限放大，正如本項目的理念：由網路開始，無限伸展，延續未來。

---

推出形式：
此本項目將以嶄新形式 -「網上創意平台」推出。
為響應環保，將於網路拓展澳門文化創意產業，推廣至世界其它地方。
本項目之創作內容均以數碼化 / 電子版的形式推出。
所有創作於「網上創意平台」均可流灠、試閱和選購。
每個創作可被單獨 /合併選購。

腦人現正召募創作人共同創作。《零壹》是一個讓你展示才華的創作平台，腦人會把你的作品帶出澳門，走向世界不同的地方。這裡有很多奇形怪狀但善良的人，現邀請你與我們一起同行。

INFINITY Project Outline and Crew Recruit - 2010 Annual Creative Project by Associação dos Criadores de Macau (macau.creatives)

Preface:
Associação dos Criadores de Macau (macau.creatives) produced various creative projects since its foundation. In 2006, an independent short film "macau.xmas.2005" was produced to look at the situation and obstacles of being a creative in Macau; in 2007, a book "Untitled Chapters" was published to capture the vanishing mood of Macau; in 2008, a CD/DVD music compilation "Inside Out" was released to reflect the changes of the Macau people; in 2009, under the name of "Sing It Out 09", a series of networking events were hold in HK and Guangzhou to showcase the achievements of the Macau creatives.

All past projects produced by macau.creatives were focusing at Macau, and we have been successfully promoting our creative products to various places overseas, inc. HK, Mainland China, Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia, UK and US etc. As a result, we decided to extend our concerns in 2010, and we will pay attention to worldwide affairs in our INFINITY project.

---

Content:
Living the moment is pleasure. Extending the moment to the future is happiness. Macau is definitely a city of happiness but don't forget that happiness needs to be cherished. Otherwise, it'd merely be short-lived indulgence. Take for example, when we are tasting tuna fish, who would be aware of the fact that this is going to push them faster to extinction? Therefore, take a moment to think -- Is our instant gratification compromising our future?

It is our responsibility to care about our future. * uses Macau as the base and carries our environmental concerns to every corner of this world. Use creativity to protect our Earth and make the world a better place.

The main theme of this project is FUTURE. It will be a collaboration of local Macau artists, expressing their meanings of FUTURE through various creative channels and products.

This project will be hosted on an "online creative platform." All artworks and productions will be digitized and uploaded to the platform for sale and display. Through the global network of the Internet, our works will be able to reach out to people from other parts of the world.

*The use of binary number system's "0" and "1" represents an idea that the computing technology has played a vital role in our daily lives. It provides us infinite possibilities to live our dream, and to dream our future.

---

Release format:
Launch in a brand new format -- an "online creative platform."
In response to environmental protection, macau.creatives will be promoting our creative industry via the Internet.
All content in this project will be in digital format.
All creative works will be available for browsing, download and purchase on the "online creative platform."
All creative works can be purchased individually or in compilation.

All interested parties, please contact the responsible person in your category. Send email with your portfolio/past relevant works and a brief description of what you would like to accomplishment in this project before 25 Feb 2010. The person in charge will contact you for the kick off meeting, and answer you any questions in regard to the project.

MAC - 友戲体三月專題：作家身影

Thu, 04 Mar 2010 19:47:34 +0000

關於作家故事的傳記性電影往往具有之前提到的“後設性”，同時，一位作家之所以稱為作家，一定是有他的作品，

作品與電影劇本之間亦產生“互文性”，兩個故事文本之間在電影這種媒體中相互關照，產生特殊的意義。

本週五(06/MAR)﹕
此時，此刻【The Hours】

「不同的時空，她們的內心深處，關於死亡的掙扎與抗爭，沒有停息，時時刻刻」

2002 / 美國、英國 / 彩色 / 114min / DVD / 英語，中文字幕
導演：Stephen Daldry
編劇：David Hare / Michael Cunningham
主演：Nicole Kidman / Julianne Moore / Meryl Streep / John C. Reilly / Toni Collette / Ed Harris / Claire Danes / Jeff Daniels

跨越時空的三個女人，因為一個名字被聯繫起來--戴羅薇夫人。
弗吉妮婭．伍爾芙（Nicole Kidman飾）生活在上世紀20年代的倫敦郊區，正在完成她最後一部小說《戴羅薇夫人》。游走在虛構與現實生活邊緣的她，承受著巨大的壓力與被束縛感，內心甚至渴求著死亡。
蘿拉．布朗（Julianne Moore飾），生活在二戰末期的洛杉磯家庭主婦。《戴羅薇夫人》引起她不斷追問自己，什麼才是更有意義的生活？日復一日的持家生活同樣讓她萌生自殺的願望。
克拉麗薩．沃甘（Meryl Streep飾），生活在90年代的紐約，正過著戴羅薇夫人式的生活。她深愛的朋友理查，才華橫溢卻因愛滋病難以自理。好心的戴羅薇夫人擔當起派對的主人，為每個人帶來快樂，卻難以化解內心的孤單與憂傷．．．
