有保护作用的桃树 -视频#11

Ayse Emel Gumus Click here for ENGLISH    很高兴艾斯·古姆告诉我,在中国和土耳其的传统习俗中,桃树都和保护有关。 上个星期,我们一起去玉渊潭公园寻找桃树。 艾斯在北京土耳其文化中心举办艺术工作坊。 ******************** 你好,我是艾斯,这是我的树的故事。 在土耳其,我们有一个保护性符号,“蓝眼睛”,我在工作中用到它。 我的中国朋友告诉我,过去他们常常把桃木片放在孩子枕头底下,这样孩子就不会做噩梦。 在古代,剑柄是桃木做的,不但可以保护持有者,也能提供额外的能量。 桃木也被挂在房屋入口上面,所以在桃木上画有保护作用的蓝眼睛,真是再好不过了。 **********************   征集视频形式树的故事 “树之记忆宫殿” 是一个关注社会与生态环境的艺术实践,这个项目邀请大家通过讲述一个关于树的故事(或者提供与树有关的信息)参与其中。 这也是一个通过分享故事探索如何与地球与他人和谐相处的社会调查。 “树之记忆宫殿”将在2021年继续展开。今年提交的文件是视频格式。如果你有一个故事想分享,请找到你最喜欢的树,坐在树下用手机自拍一条不到一分钟(少于60秒)的视频。我可以帮忙添加英文或中文字幕。请确保您的录音音质清晰。如果对此有任何问题,尽管提问。  可以直接在这个平台上联系我,也可以在网站最后一页查询页面(ENQUIRE)上联系我。   视频 #1 空卷须 -Yvette Stride 视频 #2 一棵石榴树 –韩超 视频 #3 – 树就像人类 Jenny Hong 视频 #4 – 老梣树 –吉莉安·库森 视频 #5 –...

森林的呼吸 -视频#10-记忆宫殿树的故事

  Click here for ENGLISH  森林的呼吸 -视频#10 我第一次接触到“森林的呼吸”这个概念是在读戴维·哈斯凯尔的书《树木之歌》(Songs of Trees)的时候。他谈到福尔摩沙松(Formosa Pine),我觉得“空气是4亿年来森林的呼吸”是一个绝妙的见解。 你可能会想,一个氧原子在多次与其他原子结合和断开之后,在变“老”以前,可能被循环利用过多少次?或者到底有没有原子变老这么一回事? 不管怎样,随着地球生命的进化,这些基本原子在不同的生命形式中往来循环。那么,当地球上的森林由于严重破坏正在以惊人的速度不断消失时,气体交换的平衡又将在哪里呢。 ****** 征集视频形式树的故事 “树之记忆宫殿” 是一个关注社会与生态环境的艺术实践,这个项目邀请大家通过讲述一个关于树的故事(或者提供与树有关的信息)参与其中。 这也是一个通过分享故事探索如何与地球与他人和谐相处的社会调查。 “树之记忆宫殿”将在2021年继续展开。今年提交的文件是视频格式。如果你有一个故事想分享,请找到你最喜欢的树,坐在树下用手机自拍一条不到一分钟(少于60秒)的视频。我可以帮忙添加英文或中文字幕。请确保您的录音音质清晰。如果对此有任何问题,尽管提问。  可以直接在这个平台上联系我,也可以在网站最后一页查询页面(ENQUIRE)上联系我。   视频 #1 空卷须 -Yvette Stride 视频 #2 一棵石榴树 –韩超 视频 #3 – 树就像人类 Jenny Hong 视频 #4 – 老梣树 –吉莉安·库森 视频 #5 – 树和生命的年轮– 汪立耕 视频 #6 –...

种树—-FOR 觅工作坊

Click here for English 8月20日星期六是非常愉快的一天!在北京通州格拉斯小镇FOR觅艺术空间,我们为小朋友们举办了第一期“种树工作坊”。 我们发现银杏叶具有非凡的适应力,它们在恐龙时代火山爆发后经受住了空气污染的考验,正是由于这个特点,城市规划者们选择把银杏种在道路两边。我们了解了一千多年前中国人首先种植银杏树,后来银杏传到了亚洲和世界其他地区。 除了银杏叶折纸以外,我们还做了梨树叶和双叶。 其中一些年轻的参与者非常有探索精神,他们尝试自己设计新的样式。这些树叶挂在现场的海棠树干树枝(由北京林学会捐赠)上,看起来栩栩如生。 工作坊第二部分“我的森林”是由很多不同种树木组成的集体创作,在这一环节我们学习了单一树种组成的树林无法提供一个包括许多其他植物和昆虫在内的生物多样性环境。“我的森林”里有各种各样的树,有奇怪的昆虫,还有令人惊奇的动物。我们还谈到了氧气在自然界循环的想法,有这样一种可能,我们正在呼吸的空气来自4亿年来森林的呼吸。       这里有这么多年轻人,他们专心创作的气氛让整个房间充满一种令人振奋的能量。他们选择不同的道路,正如他们笔下的森林一样具有多样性。有些孩子以为自己已经完成了,但过一会儿他们又回来画了20分钟。当人们创造新颖的、意想不到的事物时,当他们讨论他们想做什么和他们的决定时,不管这些人是年轻的学习者还是经验丰富的教授,跟他们在一起都让人心里充满喜悦,让人觉得这是一个十分特别的时刻。 非常感谢本次工作坊的组织者, 小莫泊桑杯国际艺术联创组委会 和FOR觅艺术空间主理人庞春慧。 正因为此次工作坊,我会在十月初去昌平实地种下一些树木。 ***************************** 非常感谢王昊宁(Summer)和我的儿子飞扬·坎宁安·克利福德,他们分别是种树工作坊1和工作坊2的翻译。 工作坊2(8月27日非常愉快),参加者大多非常年轻,他们很有天赋。 第二工作坊 *****************************   我上一次为孩子们举办工作坊已经是好几年前了。   之前在2019年举办的工作坊
