HOW 驻留丨昊国际艺术家驻留项目，艺术家安杰莉卡·达斯

继2018年4月启动昊国际策展人驻留项目

昊美术馆将于今夏启动昊国际艺术家驻留项目

并于 7 月迎来第1位驻留艺术家

安杰莉卡·达斯（Angélica Dass）

昊国际艺术家驻留项目延续了2015年于昊美术馆（温州）举办的展览“流动工作室”的理念——在保持对艺术家驻留期间开展艺术实践关注的同时，将艺术家的驻留创作与美术馆的展览呈现进行结合。

昊国际艺术家驻留项目由昊美术馆和昊美艺术酒店联合发起，旨在为全球优秀艺术家体验不同文化环境，建立全新人际网络，并开展艺术创作和研究提供机会。该项目将根据每位驻留艺术家的兴趣，协助制定与艺术专业人士的会面、工作室参观，画廊和机构参访以及其他相关活动。昊美术馆将为艺术家提供住宿和项目空间，也将提供差旅费、保险和津贴。

未来已来丨HOW的2018——驻留篇

安杰莉卡·达斯（Angélica Dass）是一名备受赞誉的摄影师，现居西班牙。出生于巴西里约热内卢，安杰莉卡对肤色的微小差异可能导致的有关种族的巨大误解和刻板印象分外敏感。安杰莉卡是国际知名项目《人类》（Humanæ）计划的创作者，该计划的肖像集合揭示了人类多样的肤色之美。

“人类”项目已走过六大洲18个国家的超过31座城市——从达沃斯世界经济论坛到《国家地理》的杂志报道，以此促进关于挑战我们看待肤色和民族认同问题的对话。

2016年，TED 全球演讲将她的职业生涯推向新的维度——证明了其工作超越摄影本身并成为促进对话和挑战文化偏见的社会变革工具的的巨大潜力。时至今日，她的 TED 演讲浏览量已超过200万。作为2018年 TED 驻留的参与者，她进行了全新 TED 演讲，于2018年10月发布。

安杰莉卡的作品超越了博物馆的藩篱，并在学校教室内发掘出大量的工作。她在全球范围内展开机构性合作，譬如巴斯克自治区内不同城市的市议会、马德里教师培训学校、捷克斯洛伐克的高中，以及联合国教科文组织和智利政府，以此扩大“人类”计划的教育意义。该项目在一周内对超过5万名学生产生了影响。

她还是一位充满力量和激发启迪的讲演者，曾作为文化领袖在萨拉曼卡大学（University of Salamanca）、博洛尼亚大学（University of Bologna）、乌尔杰-巴西里约热内卢分校（UERJ - Rio de Janeiro）等重要机构，以及国际筹款大会-资源联盟（International Congress of Fundraising - The Resource Alliance）、国家地理和世界经济论坛发表演讲。

《人类》（Humanæ）是一项巴西艺术家安杰莉卡·达斯正在创作中的工作，意图将人类不同肤色的色彩范围进行规范。出现在项目肖像拍摄中的人们均是知晓该项目意义并决定参与的志愿者。

对志愿者，没有事先的遴选，更没有国籍、性别、年龄、种族、社会阶层或宗教的相关划分，也没有特意设定完成日期。因此，这个项目在任何意义上都是开放的，它将所有希望成为这一巨大的全球马赛克的一部分的成员囊括其中。唯一的限制只有在拍摄完全球人口之后才会发生。

该作品的分类法采用彩通（PANTONE®）指南的格式，这使得样本在一定程度具有了等级水平的参考，以此在肤色这一问题上将种族相关的虚假优势进行了淡化。对色彩范围的呈现引导观众反思单词定义中与平等相关联的双重含义。《人类》激活了一种在语义机制——在安全环境中种族问题的“无辜”错置这一社会政治语境，作为色彩目录其中的“主要”色彩和“混合”色彩具有全然相同的重要性。

这件作品的创作过程如同探究人类肤色编码的游戏。《人类》项目遵循严格系统的流程：每幅肖像的背景色由艺术家设置成与拍摄对象鼻尖11x11像素区域相同的色调，并与彩通色卡匹配。以真实的色彩，而非肤色分类的刻板印象这一中立立场向种族问题引发的矛盾发问。

在昊美术馆驻留期间，安杰莉卡·达斯将携作品《人类》参加即将开幕的展览“色阈”（Pantone），并在温州本地继续这一项目的拍摄。

在此，昊美术馆（温州）特别公开招募《人类》项目的志愿者。无论你是何种肤色、何种身份或年龄，都欢迎报名加入这一意义非凡的艺术项目，成为安杰莉卡 · 达斯镜头下的一员。

关于《人类》项目志愿者招募的具体信息，敬请期待后续发布。

Following the initiation of HOW International Curatorial Residency Program in April 2018, HOW Art Museum is going to launch HOW International Artist Residency Program this summer and will welcome the first artist-in-residence, Angélica Dass in July.

About HOW International 

Artist Residency Program

HOW International Artist Residency Program continues the concept of the exhibition titled “Moving Studios” held at HOW Art Museum (Wenzhou) in 2015 – while maintaining the focus on the artistic practice during the course of the artist’s stay, the program also plans to bring the outcome, the artwork(s) produced during the course of the artist’s residence into the exhibition presented at HOW Art Museum. 

HOW International Artist Residency Program, co-sponsored by HOW Art Museum and Onehome Art Hotels, aims to provides artists the chances to gain a broad insight into a different cultural environment, establish new networks and carry out artistic practice and related research. For every artist-in-residence, the program will provide individualized arrangements, including visits to museums, galleries, alternative spaces, artist studios along with meetings with art professionals. In addition to accommodation and working space, HOW Art Museum covers the cost of travel, insurances and per diem expenses.

About Artist-in-residence

Angélica Dass

Angélica Dass is an award-winning photographer living in Madrid, Spain. Originally from Rio de Janeiro, Brasil, she is acutely aware of how small differences in skin tone can swell into large misconceptions and stereotypes about race. She is the creator of the internationally acclaimed Humanæ Project, a collection of portraits that reveal the diverse beauty of human colors. The initiative has traveled to more than 31 cities, in 18 countries, across six continents —from The World Economic Forum in Davos to the pages of National Geographic — to promote dialogue that challenges how we think about skin color and ethnic identity.

In 2016, her career launches to new dimensions with her TED Global Talk, confirming the great potential of her work to go beyond photography, becoming a tool for social change, which promotes dialogue and challenges cultural prejudices. Today, this TED talk exceeds two million views. As part of the TED Residency 2018, she presented her new TED talk which was published in October 2018.

Angélica’s work transcends the museums and finds in school classrooms a great universe of work. She amplifies the educational message of Humanæ through institutional collaborations around the world, such as collaborations with city councils of different cities in the Basque Country, teacher training schools in Madrid, high schools in the Czech Republic, or with UNESCO and the Government of Chile, reaching an impact of more than 50 thousand students in a week. She is also a powerful and inspiring speaker who has lectured at important organizations, such as the University of Salamanca, the University of Bologna, or the UERJ - Rio de Janeiro; as well as the International Congress of Fundraising - The Resource Alliance, at National Geographic and at the World Economic Forum, as a cultural leader.

This career path leads Angélica to fund the Humanæ Institute, a non-profit educational platform with the objective to position diversity as a value in the educational process.

Dass’ Ongoing Project at HOW

& Open Call for Volunteers

Humanæ is a work in progress by the Brazilian Angélica Dass, who intends to deploy a chromatic range of the different human skin colors. Those who pose are volunteers who have known the project and decide to participate. There is no previous selection of participants and there are no classifications relating to nationality, gender, age, race, social class or religion. Nor is there an explicit intention to finish it on a specific date. It is open in all senses and it will include all those who want to be part of this colossal global mosaic. The only limit would be reached by completing all of the world’s population. 

This taxonomy adopts the format of the PANTONE® Guide, which gives the sample a degree of hierarchical horizontality that diluted the false preeminence of some races over others in terms of skin color. The presentation of the range of color shades induce the viewer to reflect on one of the dual meanings containing the word identity: that associated with equality. Humanæ activates a semantic mechanism with an “innocent” displacement of the socio-political context of the racial problem in a safe environment, as is a color catalog in which the “primary” colors have exactly the same importance as “mixed”. 

The process followed in Humanæ, like a game that explores the coding of human skin colors, is rigorous and systematic: the background for each portrait is tinted with a color tone identical to a sample of 11 x 11 pixels taken from the nose of the subject and matched with the industrial pallet Pantone®, which, in its neutrality, calls into question the contradictions and stereotypes related to the race issue.

During the course of Angélica Dass’ residency at HOW Art Museum, her work Humanæ will be presented in the group exhibition at HOW Art Museum (Wenzhou) titled “Pantone” (July 13, 2019 - November 8, 2019) and the artist will continue her photo-shooting of the project in Wenzhou. Hence, HOW Art Museum (Wenzhou) announces the open call for volunteers for the Humanæ Project. Regardless of your skin color, identity or age, you are welcomed to sign up for this significant art project and become a participant through the lens of Angélica Dass.

Regarding the detailed information about the open call for volunteers for the Humanæ Project, please look forward to the follow-up announcements.
