关闭防火墙 |
Turn off the Firewall |

2016年1月24日，这是北京最寒冷的时节，没门空间邀请了17位艺术家一起做了这个群展。艺术家的热情和创作一起加热了被冰冻的没门空间。
和往常一样防火墙这个题目也是在群里经大家讨论确定的，顾名思义，防火墙是防止火进来的墙，或者每个国家都有网络的防火墙，为了防止网络上该国不喜欢的内容进入。所以当你想自由访问任何内容的途径之一是关闭防火墙，或者改变网络的服务器国家。想要获得自由就要彻底关闭防火墙。另外最重要的是没门空间的自由度非常高，我们没有去选择和限制艺术家，这样的环境和气候进来表达的都是最牛掰的艺术家。 没有人可以设堵阻止艺术家的自由表达，也没有人可以去建一面阻止他人越过彼岸的墙。 |
January 24, 2016 is one of the coldest days in Beijing. No Way space invited 17 artists for this group exhibition, whose passion and creation together heated the frozen No Way Space.
As usual, the title Firewall is determined after discussion in the Group. As its name indicates, Firewall is a wall preventing fire incoming. As far as the network firewall is concerned, it is used to prevent the entry of undesirable content into a certain country. Therefore, one of the ways for you to freely access any content is to turn off the firewall, or to change the network server country. you want to enjoy freedom, then thoroughly turn off the firewall. What’s more important is the extra high freedom of the No Way Space. We have not chosen and restricted artists, you are all the most Nirvous artists whose still have to expression at such an environment and climate. No one could prevent the free expression of the artists, just as that no one could build a wall which may hold back the growth of others. Zhuyu |

Xu Changyuan "Damn the Desire" ，210cm x45cm x40cm, 2016.1 What do I want to say? Could these materials clearly express what I want to say? No matter it is gold, wood, water, fire or earth, it is not important. What matters is whether it could precisely work for me. It is the fun in the material selection for me. Damn the Desire. Struggle inside, exhausted and tired. The relationship between the two hands and the log, is just like my “passion” for you which never diminishes. Thinking about the impassable space, it is warm but cool under the beam of light. All condenses in the space, which is very funny. |

Alëna Olasyuk (Ukraine)，Do You Want to Wear an Artwork? 2016, xylography on T-shirts
Do You Want to Wear anArtwork? can be called a multifunctional instrument for creating an artwork on cloth or such basic clothing as a T-shirt or a top. Cloth acts as an imitation of a canvas or paper and simplicity of cut gives a perfect chance to watch an artwork without unnecessary |
deformations. Alëna starts withexpressing her idea through wood block printing technique, signing each pieceof work and giving it a private number which makes it unique. The next step isdemonstration of the work as a happening where art lovers buy these pieces andpresent them on their bodies, proving that the human form can serve as agallery and passersby as spectators.

Josephine "Glübeck"2.5x2.5x3ft, 1.23.2016 "Glübeck" is a lantern whose surface reveals its interior structure and makes it part of its outer design. At the same time, the over lapping of its paper exterior creates positive and negative space that form geometrical patterns, juxtaposing the fluidity of the over all shape.
Hu Shasha, Painting, My recent paintings are based on drawing from both personal life experience and public memories into the dark and humorous watercolor papers. Painting techniques acquired through my various jobs and studied at art school both in Beijing and London. Such as I learn from both traditional decoration techniques from Wei and Jin Dynasties portrait Brick and latest west social art form. Also I combining vintage second hands magazine collage and everyday living object pictures and architectural elements to suggest new views and relationships between the art works, the artist studio or the space of we live.

Celyn 24th January This is the fourth stage of my project at 155 Caochangdi. The first stage was a photographic installation, in the second stage I erased the photograph, in the third stage I repainted the image inChinese ink, and in this fourth stage I turned the wall into a large-scale 'woodcut' style print. After carving into the wall, I then inked it and created a series of prints from the carved sections. I discovered that in -15 even oil-based ink will basically freeze solid. |
