所有今天,所有明天
ALL TODAYS, ALL TOMORROWS
关于:
标题“所有今天,所有明天”源于2019年的一次分享会,瑞士独立艺术空间Hamlet和Longtang的主理人在他们的北京独立艺术空间之行后来到了广州,并在顶上空间分享了他们在瑞士的工作经验和机构处境:如何在一个有限的条件下保持空间和工作的发展(可能)。同年,顶上空间参与了由北京“的︱艺术中心”发起的“我们在做什么——独立空间2018文献展”,以活动文献的方式勾勒出来自中国北京、上海、广州、东莞、重庆、武汉等地的14家独立空间的机构图景。当时恰逢北京面临新一波的拆迁浪潮,许多艺术家的工作室与独立空间被迫搬迁或关闭。于此同时,南方的艺术群体却在那个时期愈发活跃。以情谊、协作为基础的工作方式正被广泛地思考和应用。而2020年开始的疫情所带来的一系列政治经济的转变,让给社会空间的极具压缩的同时,也让独立艺术空间的处境更富挑战。在过去的两年中,它们经历了哪些变化,又做出了怎样的回应与改变?
“所有今天,所有明天”它由十个问题构成,所有回答不限形式。它试图通过提问的方式呈现身处不同区域的独立艺术空间的实践路径,它关乎我们仍在经历的疫情时刻,关乎个体与环境、时间与未来。它是一次久违的问候,一场临时的聚会。所有今天,所有明天。“所有今天,所有明天”由顶上空间在2021年发起,瑞士文化基金会赞助支持。

about :
The title "All todays, all tomorrows" comes from a sharing session in 2019, when the directors of the Swiss independent art space Hamlet and Longtang came to Guangzhou after their trip to Beijing to share their experience of working in Switzerland and the institutional situation at Topping: how to keep the space and work (possible) in a limited conditions to keep the space and the work (possible) going. In the same year, Top Space participated in the "What We Are Doing - Independent Space 2018 Documentary Exhibition", initiated by Beijing's "De Art Centre", outlining in the form of an event document The exhibition was held in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Dongguan, Chongqing, Wuhan and other places in China. The exhibition coincided with a new wave of demolitions in Beijing, forcing many artists' studios and independent spaces to relocate or close. At the same time, the art community in the south became increasingly active during this period. Working methods based on camaraderie and collaboration were being widely considered and applied. The series of political and economic shifts brought about by the epidemic that began in 2020 have made the situation of independent art spaces more challenging, while at the same time giving rise to a very compressed social space. What changes have they undergone in the past two years, and how have they responded and changed?"Letter from the Top|All Today, All Tomorrow" is a letter from the Top Space to its TA friends, consisting of ten questions, all of which can be answered in any form. It attempts to present the practice paths of independent art spaces in different regions by asking questions about the epidemic moments we are still experiencing, about individuals and the environment, about time and the future. It is a long-awaited greeting, a temporary gathering. All today, all tomorrow. "Letters from the Top|All Today, All Tomorrow" is initiated by Top Space in 2021 and supported by the Swiss Cultural Foundation.
