自由行不行──當代藝術作品展
Free Individual Travel… How Much Free?
A Contemporary Art Exhibition
作品徵集
自由，往往使我們產生很多的幻想和回嚮，也許是幻覺，似有還無的在人們的生活中遊蕩。自由行，不是現代人的專利，古代的遊吟詩人是自由行的先鋒，且比我們更懂得自由行的真正意義。近年自由行亦由正面客觀慢慢走向兩極，更與澳門結下不解之緣，悄然地改變著澳門的社會形態，人們的生活模式。自由行對當今中國是一種政策，而在不同地域有不同的理解，但他更應該是一種生活態度。
自由行可以說是人們都有的經驗生活，去到香港，或過了拱北，我們就成了自由行的身份，但當自由行成為澳門發展的一部份時，往往覺得陌生，擁擠與悠閒、寧靜與熱鬧、寬容與傲視……都似乎成了矛盾中的和諧。我們期望藝術家通過以自由行為主題進行思考及創作，展覽作品不限媒介，藝術家以不同的形式創作，以多方面表現自由行的現象和感受。

The notion of ‘freedom’ can trigger in us lots of imaginations and echoes, or maybe just illusions that seemingly haunt our daily lives. The concept of free individual travel isn’t something unique to contemporary people as the ancient troubadours were indeed pioneers who knew already very well its true meaning. In recent years, the trend of free individual travel has become widely popular, while at the same time gradually generating extremes of behavior, straying from its originally positive and subjective nature. (As a tourist destination favored by China’s Individual Visit Scheme policy) Macao SAR experiences vividly this phenomenon, as its policies have been changing local social forms and people’s lifestyle imperceptibly. In mainland China, free individual travel, or Individual Visit Scheme, is understood as a government policy. Though it is interpreted differently by each region, universally it should be more a lifestyle than a political issue.
It seems that everyone has been, one time or another, a free individual traveler. As soon as we cross the SAR boundary to Hong Kong, or pass to Gongbei, we become free individual travelers. However, when the Individual Visit Scheme and the resulting free individual travelers flocking to the city become key components of Macao’s development, we may invariably feel some uneasiness, where crowdedness and leisure, tranquility and bustling, tolerance and arrogance…are all intertwined, although it seems these contradictions have become somewhat harmonious.
Artists are invited to draw inspiration from this theme – the free individual travel phenomenon – to create artworks. Exhibition entries are medium free and artists can produce artworks in different formats to express their feelings towards this multifaceted phenomenon.
