PAF - Performing Arts Forum

離開Brussels，駕車三個多小時，去到法國北部一個小鄉村，當中有一幢舊建築，帶點古堡味，後院還有幾隻孔雀。就是我們的第二站PAF。

引至facebook的簡介 :
PAF (=PerformingArtsForum) is a place for the professional and not-yet professional practitioners and activists in the field of performing arts, visual art, new media and internet, theory and cultural production, who seek to research and determine their own conditions of work. PAF is for people who can motorize their own artistic production and knowledge production not only responding to the opportunities given by the institutional market.

Initiated and run by artists, theoreticians and practitioners themselves, PAF is a user-created, user-innovative informal institution. Neither a production-house and venue, nor a research-center, it is a platform for everyone who wants to expand possibilities and interests in his/her own working practice.

PAF is
- a forum for producing knowledge in critical exchange and ongoing discursive practice
- a place for temporary autonomy and full concentration on work
- a tool-machine where one can work on developing methods, tools and procedures, not necessarily driven toward a product
- a place for experimenting with other than known modes of production and organization of work, e.g. open source production

Most importantly, PAF offers all these possibilities without imposing them. In other words, PAF depends on how you affect and are affected by taking an active part in shaping your own activity in your workplace.

聽聞這一站是由Nadine發起的。我們全體人員對此站的目的都十分朦朧，反正跟著做就是了。
我們到步後，各人有自已的房間，洗手間是共用的，Nadine還請了一位廚師隨行，都算是照顧周到。

第二日，經過一點似明非明的講解後，就知道此行是Being Aude in PAF。
Aude是一位虛構人物 ，由之前一組名為"Various Arists"人建立的。他們為她虛構了她的出生，什麼年發生過什麼事，看過什麼書，有什麼藝術作品，去過那些地方等等，等等。
我們來這裡就是為了......Being Aude。

首先第一件事是......穿上婚紗...... ...... ......你看到我的點點，就可想而知我的心情或心理狀況是怎樣的。不過我的心情不重要。

首先，我們玩公仔，Aude會用一些媽媽的舊衫去重新"處理"她的公仔。於是Being Aude的我們就在他們準備好的材料中重做一個Aude公仔。

右邊是小弟作品，左邊是同學S作品。

再學她的唇膏Hand Cream畫畫法，是這樣的，首先用Hand Cream塗上雜誌上，而Aude喜歡塗在那些model head shot相。等一會，再加上唇膏。然後用手指"猝"，這樣雜誌上的印墨會被猝開(雜誌越新越好)，就這樣，自由發揮，猝猝猝...猝 ...猝......
你有一張由Aude所創作的抽象畫了。

原本可能是洗頭水廣告...

之後還有作故仔，同學J為她編說了2005年，她曾到Greece。
又有紅洒水墨畫。


回故一下，其實內容都算有趣。不過 How to make someone "be" someone else is never a easy job 老實說他們做得不好，有時實在令我們摸不著頭腦，不過他們也很開放，也不介意我們怎樣反應。就有點鬧著玩過了三日。
