Borderline Moving Images

Beijing - 23/06 - 1/7/2007
On Saturday 23rd of June Borderline Moving Images kicks off.
Borderline is a Beijing-based urban palimpsest evolving into a 9-day long main event held annually at the end of June. It is developed through a wide range of activities centred on the identity of the moving image.
We envision this endeavour as an experience-making machine which will evolve into a series of actions/events (locally and internationally) representing participation and narration, while culminating in a constructed sequence of projects unfolding throughout different spaces and locations around the city.
A scenario of liquid disciplines, Borderline will be drawn as a long cord superimposing the city, a narrative (achieved by sets of exhibitions, performances, workshops, lectures, concerts, public screenings) that will guide people into a sited reading of the city, an urban story-telling in the form of a huge mobile lab.
Bridging perspectives from installation, short film, documentary, animation, performance and music, sound art, new graphics, architecture and design, Borderline will be forged as a cadenced experience from point to point, like a dilated vision appropriating the city, a temporary firmament which, instead of blowing the city up, will progressively reveal one of its possible universes onto the city's flowing fabric.
We would like to present you here some special projects on this year’s programmation.
Borderline is an initiative of Platform China Contemporary Art Institute and Bao Atelier in close collaboration with Soho Shangdu.

6月23日星期六 边界线动态影像正式开幕。
边界线是基于在北京对城市的再现，在六月底 举办，聚焦于中国之“移动影像”的身份的研 究和传播。
具体地说，我们这次尝试的预想是把它作为一 个制造体验的机器，包括了一系列呈现参与性 和叙事性的行为／活动（本土的和国际的）， 同时通过这城市不同的地点和空间，在项目连 续性的发展达到顶点的时候开展。
灵活的设定使边界线被描述成为一个对城市多 重影响的长线性组织，一种叙事（由展览、表 演、工作坊、演讲、音乐会和公众反映的设置 来达到），利用移动图书馆的形式，将引导人 们进入一个对城市的现场阅读，一个都市的故 事讲述。
通过影像装置、短片、记录片、动画、当代舞 蹈和音乐、声像艺术以及建筑，把限制变成开 放，具有代表性的舞台和实验性的结构形式， 边界线趋向于成为一个图象世界的演讲会所。 现在，我们将向您介绍此活动在本年的项目。
边界线 站台中国艺术机构 和 Bao工作室主办，和 SOHO•尚都合作。
