'Golden': interdisciplinary creative practice and the aesthetics and poetics of leisure and nostalgia in diaspora

《金（笔记）》将以艺术家的书籍和电子书的形式，记录和批判性地反思四件相关作品（《金（远景）》、《金（歌曲）》、《金（岁月）》和《金（声音）》）的各种视觉、听觉、装置和现场策略，这些作品将于2005年至2006年在比肯斯菲尔德和中国艺术中心展出。电子书将包括一个实验性的文本作品，在电子书的开发过程中，它将首先以定期文章的形式出现在在线“博客”或期刊上。此外，四名作家/实践者将被委托研究和开发原创文本，这些文本将在概念上和形式上对系列中探索的问题、概念和主题进行扩展。跨越视听文化、文学、舞蹈和电影，文本的进步生产将被在线和离线的正式和非正式对话所打断。总而言之，最终的成果将包括一本限量版艺术家的书，一本以限量版CD-rom和无限PDF下载的形式分发的电子书，一个博客，以及基于画廊和在线讨论。因此，这项研究将涉及学者、艺术家、学生、当代艺术观众、互联网用户，以及那些对文化表现、生产和传播的理论、实践和跨学科策略特别感兴趣的人。

In the form of an artist's book and e-book, Golden (Notes) will document and critically reflect upon the various visual, audio, installation and live strategies of four related works (Golden (Vistas}, Golden (Songs), Golden (Years) and Golden (Voices)), to be exhibited at Beaconsfield and Chinese Arts Centre between 2005 and 2006. The e/book will include an experimental text­ work that will first appear as periodic posts to an online 'blog' or journal for the duration of the e/book's development. In addition, four writers/practitioners will be commissioned to research and develop original texts, which expand both conceptually and formally on the issues, concepts and themes explored in the series. Working across visual and audio culture, literature, choreography, and film, the progressive production of texts will be punctuated by formal and informal dialogues on- and off-line. In sum, the resulting outputs will comprise a limited edition artist's book, an e-book distributed as both limited edition CD-rom and unlimited PDF download, a blog, and gallery-based and online discussions. The research will thereby reach academics, artists, students, contemporary art audiences, internet users, and those with particular interests in theories, practices and interdisciplinary tactics of cultural representation, production and dissemination, in and of diaspora.
