重新发明节日 - 公众设计

公众参与

2023

民众在艺术家提供的、标注了2024年每日日期的空白卡片上重新定义每一天的节日。活动参与者的年龄从4岁到68岁不等。当这些日期卡填写完成后，艺术家将其统一扫描并印制出一份独特的2024年日历。

从参与者们发明的节日中，可以窥见他们对生活的期待与想象。例如，七八岁的孩子创造了“无作业日”“免费玩具节”、“全家平安日”；十几岁的青少年写下“全世界必须爱我节”；二十几岁的年轻人则设想了“无谎言节”、“不劳而获节”、“随心所欲节”；三十几岁的参与者提出了“小狗说话日”、“洞洞鞋日”；而六十多岁的长者则写下“来世日”……这些承载内容着眼于人们最质朴的愿望，也反映了各个年龄层的情感与需求。

观众通过他人对日常的思考不仅能看见他们的创造力，也借此映射自己的内心，从而想象自己的生活，进而达到艺术疗愈的效果。这是一场关于参与和互动的社会性艺术活动，参与者拥有重新定义“时间”的权力，重新定义日常每一天的权力。

Reinventing thefestival - Public Design

Public participation/Social art

2023

Thepublic was invited to redefine each day of the year as a unique festival onblank cards labeled with the dates of 2024. Participants ranged in age from 4 to 68. Once the cards were filled, the artist scanned and compiled them into an unique 2024 calendar.

The festivals createdby participants revealed their dreams and imaginations. For instance, children aged seven or eight dreamed up "No Homework Day," "Free Toy Festival," and "Family Safety Day." Teenagers proposed"Everyone Must Love Me Day," while young adults in their twenties envisioned "No Lies Day," "Effortless Rewards Day," and "Do Whatever You Want Day." Those in their thirties suggested playful ideas like "Talking Dogs Day" and "Crocs Day," and participants in their sixties contributed more reflective concepts, such as "Afterlife Day." These invented holidays encapsulate people’s deepest desires and reflect the emotions and aspirations of different age groups.

Through others' daily thinking, the audience can not only see their creativity, but also use this to reflect their own hearts, so as to imagine their own lives, and thus achieve the effect of artistic healing. This is a social art event about participation and interaction, where participants have the power to redefine "time", to redefine the power of the everyday.
