On Diplomatic Residence Compound
Plan:
1. Prepare a certain quantity of objects, photographs, videos, documents and other items collected and photographed by the artist over the past thirty years.
2. During installation and exhibition, the artist will send artwork materials to the exhibition space each day via courier.
3. Restore the exhibition space to that of an everyday residence. Purchase or rent a double bed, desk and other furniture items.
4. The artwork materials and related manifests sent to the exhibition space each day will be scattered around the furniture, on the floor and on the walls.
5. After exhibition, all of the artwork materials and manifests will be sent back by the exhibitioner to the artist.
Statement:
1. The artwork Diplomatic Residence Compound is a procedural exhibition plan that uses “art” and the “logistics network” to link and activate the unique systems and spaces of “diplomacy” and “residence.”
2. As the artworks are constantly “delivered” each day, they will be constantly reexamined and presented in different systems and spaces.
3. In these unique contexts and systems, do we have a truly autonomous space?

有关《外交公寓》
方案:
1. 准备一定量艺术家 30 年来收集和拍摄的实物、照片、视频、文件等作品材料。
2. 布展及展览期间，每日通过快递物流方式，艺术家寄送作品材料至展览空间。
3. 把展览空间还原为公寓属性的日常起居空间。购买或租用双人床、办公桌椅等家具。 4. 每日寄送的艺术家作品材料和相关单据散落和展示在空间的床上、桌上、
地上、墙上。
5. 展出后的所有作品材料和单据，再由展方寄回给艺术家收存。
自述:
1. 作品《外交公寓》是用“艺术”“物联网”链接和激活“外交”“公寓”这些特殊系 统和空间的过程展示计划。
2. 在每日不间断地“快递”时，作品会在不同系统和空间中被不断检测和展示。
3. 在这些特殊情境和系统中，我们有没有任性的自主空间?
