有一种展览叫做 “Do It”
There's an exhibition called
“艺术是一场所有时代所有人之间的游戏”
——马塞尔·杜尚
20世纪初，马塞尔·杜尚 Marcel Duchamp 将艺术从架上绘画彻底搬到了日常生活中。20世纪末，策展人奥布里斯特 Obrist 在巴黎的一家咖啡馆里，与艺术家Christian Boltanski和Bertrand Lavier的一场下午茶，创造出一场永远不会停止的展览“do it”。
在变化中继续变化，是奥布里斯特对于人与人之间对话的全新理解，开拓了群体创造力的无限边界。展览不再只是一场又一场独立的艺术展示，创作艺术品和举办展览也不再只是策展人和艺术家的“特权”，而是一种思想和观念在时间长河中的不断碰撞与更新。让所有人都来“玩艺术”，“做展览”，邀请来世界各地的艺术家朋友们，请他们想出一些“指令”，奥布里斯特把展览变成了游戏场。
“Art is a game between all people of all periods.”
——Marcel Duchamp
At the beginning of the 20th century, Marcel Duchamp moved art from easel painting to everyday life. At the end of the 20th century, the curator Obrist created an exhibition that will never stop "Do It" in an afternoon tea with artists Christian Boltanski and Bertrand Lavier in a Cafe in Paris.
Continuing to change in the midst of change is Aubrest's new understanding of the dialogue between people, which opens up the infinite boundary of group creativity. Exhibition is no longer just one independent art exhibition after another, and the creation of works of art and holding of exhibitions are no longer just the "privilege" of curators and artists, but a constant collision and renewal of ideas and concepts in the long course of time. Ask everyone to "play art," "do exhibitions," invite friends of artists from around the world, and ask them to come up with some "instructions," and Aubrest turns the exhibition into a playground.
艺术展览形式在近百年来不断被更新，打破固有的思维方式与传统艺术类别，融合了音乐、绘画、诗歌、电影以及艺术作品，让观众以新鲜和有趣的视角重新审视并回顾艺术与生活方式，日本先锋艺术家小野洋子在她的作品《葡萄柚》中有很好的诠释。她将自己在作品中碎片式的呓语称为Instruction，带着那个时代的缩影，与观众建立特别的联系，并邀请观众成为她艺术创作中积极参与的一部分，以多元和跨界记录了洋子艺术观念的形成与无限延展。
Art exhibitions have been updated over the last hundred years, breaking out of the conventional way of thinking and traditional categories of art, it combines music, painting, poetry, film and works of art, allowing the audience to re-examine and review art and lifestyle from a fresh and interesting perspective. In her work grapefruit, Japanese avant-garde artist Yoko Ono has a good interpretation. She called her fragmented delirium in her works as Instruction, taking the epitome of that era to establish a special connection with the audience, and invited the audience to become an active part of her artistic creation, recording the formation and infinite extension of Yoko's artistic concept with diversity and crossover.
在艺术形式中混合行为、录像、声音、造纸和印刷的艾莉森·诺尔斯（Alison knowles）擅长以多种形式从事艺术创作，与早期的达达主义相似，以艾莉森为代表的激浪派艺术家强调反艺术的理论，痛批现代艺术的严肃性，强调日常事物与艺术的感官联系，用抽象的说明、偶然性和意想不到的随机效果，增添了与观众互动的无限可能。
艾莉森·诺尔斯（Alison knowles）
Mixing behavior in art, video, sound, papermaking and printing of Alison Knowles (Alison Knowles) are good at is engaged in the artistic creation with a variety of forms, similar to the early dadaism, represented by Alison mountain, Fluxus artists emphasize the theory of art, lambasting the seriousness of the modern art, emphasize the routine contact with artistic senses, with abstract, contingency and unexpected stochastic effect, added infinite possibility of interaction with the audience.
当代艺术与展览早已经成为一种流动的态度，并非一种艺术运动，也不是一个艺术风格。
Contemporary art and exhibition have already been a fluid attitude, not an art movement, nor an art style.
01关于Do It / About Do It
“do it”始于1993年，源自开放的展览模型，即正在进行中的展览，它借鉴了1960年代和1970年代的概念主义、极简主义以及Fluxus的艺术理念。通过指令可以打开完全空白的空间，以完全自由的方式对艺术品进行解释和改造。所有的人，无论是否是艺术家或者策展人，都可以通过“玩指令”来做创作。把这些创作好的作品放到一起，就有了 “do It” 展览。在奥布里斯特看来，艺术就是行动。无论是谁，只要参与，只要 “做”，就能一起分享艺术创作的乐趣。
"do It" began in 1993 as an open exhibition model, an ongoing exhibition, it draws from Conceptual and Minimalist art of the 1960s and 1970s as well as Fluxus practices. The instruction can open a completely blank space and interpret and change the artwork in a complete freeway. All people, whether they are artists or curators or not, can create creations through "play instructions". Put these created works together and there will be a "do it" exhibition. In Obrist's view, art is action. No matter who it is, as long as they participate, as long as they "do", they can share the joy of artistic creation.
“do it”已在全球至少50个不同的地方巡展，包括澳大利亚，中国，丹麦，法国，德国，墨西哥，哥斯达黎加，斯洛文尼亚和乌拉圭。每到一处，它都能吸引全新的富有创意的指令和阐释方式。每次展览都是针对不同的特定地点，邀请当地社区参与对话，以响应并添加新的指令说明，同时在不断扩大的范围内保持全球性。不单是艺术家们，电影导演，建筑师，音乐人都纷纷加入这场游戏。指令集由最初的12个，增加到了现有的250多个。展览地点也由美术馆扩展到了学校、家庭、电视媒体、户外......这也意味着do it展览，在产生和累积的过程中揭示着人类关于解释的细微差别。这样才能够弥补过去、现在和未来之间的差距。
"do it" has been featured in at least 50 different locations worldwide, including Australia, China, Denmark, France, Germany, Mexico, Costa Rica, Slovenia and Uruguay. Each exhibition is aimed at a different specific location, inviting the local community to participate in the dialogue in order to respond and add new instructions, while remaining global within an expanding scope. Not only artists, but film directors, architects, and musicians have all joined the game. The instruction set has increased from the original 12 to more than 250. The location of the exhibition has also been expanded from art museums to schools, homes, television media, outdoor... This also means that do it exhibitions reveal the nuances of human interpretation in the process of generation and accumulation. Only in this way can the gap between the past, the present and the future be bridged.

Kunsthal Aarhus展览馆为此指令选择的说明以六个“操作方法”主题进行介绍：如何吃饭、如何玩、如何建立、如何社交、如何政治以及如何数字化。在“集体制造”展览系列的背景下，通过在更为集体的DIWO（与他人一起做）框架中考虑DIY（自己动手做）的精神。游戏规则会随着时间而变化，一旦采取了激进的干预措施，这些规则就会变得规范化：当我们不再信奉艺术自主权时，我们如何应对艺术家的当务之急？在奥尔胡斯艺术博物馆（Kunsthal Aarhus）举办的展览中，提出了许多有趣的问题，这些问题涉及文化和历史条件如何影响其所提供的选择，以及我们如何在这些过程中定位策展人和有影响力的人物。
COLLECTIVE MAKING | do it
Instruction：do it (COLLECTIVE MAKING)
Exhibition hall：Kunsthal Aarhus
Address：Aarhus, Denmark
Date：October 2 – November 29, 2015
The instructions selected by Kunsthal Aarhus for this version of do it are presented in six ”how-to” themes; how to eat, how to play, how to build, how to be social, how to be political, and how to be digital.
In the context of the COLLECTIVE MAKING exhibition series (2015-16), the main concept of do it is put under pressure by considering its DIY (Do It Yourself) ethos in a more collective framework of DIWO (Do It With Others). The rules of the game change over time and what were once radical interventions become normalized: how do we respond now to the artists' imperative to do something when we no longer believe in artistic autonomy and when we are all producers all the time? The exhibition of do it at Kunsthal Aarhus raises many interesting questions about how cultural and historical conditions affect the choices on offer, as well as how we begin to situate the central and powerful figure of the curator in these processes.
