2025 A4国际驻留年度主题：
跨越边界的可持续行动
在经历了“如何可持续地讨论可持续”的深度反思后，我们意识到，讨论只是起点。尽管“可持续”已在全球语境中获得共识，其实际行动却常被固有的学科、文化、社会框架所限制，难以真正推动改变。2025年，我们将目光投向“跨越边界的可持续行动”，探讨如何在跨学科、跨文化的合作中迈向实质性实践。
这一主题要求我们不仅在实践中探索新的路径，更在知识体系和思维方式上进行深度重构。跨学科的合作意味着知识的去中心化，在艺术、商业、技术和社会学的碰撞中，让可持续从流于形式的概念走向充满活力的实践。跨越边界，不仅是一种具体领域的行动，更是一种重新定义人与自然、经济与生态关系的尝试。
我们不再将“可持续”视为一成不变的目标，而是一种在行动中不断被重构的过程：在协作中迭代，在实践中生成新的意义。由此，跨越边界的行动不仅追求可持续性的实现，更从本体论层面提出质问——可持续如何在跨界的对话中焕发新的生命力？
2025 A4 International Residency Annual Theme: Crossing Boundaries for Sustainable Action
Following a year of deep reflection on “How to discuss sustainability sustainably,” we recognize that discussion is only a starting point. While “sustainability” has gained consensus within global discourse, its true impact is often confined to the level of rhetoric, lacking effective action. For 2025, we shift focus to the challenge of moving toward sustainable action across disciplinary and cultural boundaries.
This theme calls us not only to explore new paths in practice but also to deconstruct established frameworks of knowledge and thought. Interdisciplinary collaboration implies a decentralization of knowledge, enabling sustainability to emerge as a vibrant practice through the intersections of art, science, technology, and sociology. To cross boundaries is to attempt a redefinition—not only in isolated actions but as an endeavor to reshape relationships among humans, nature, economy, and ecology.
We no longer see “sustainability” as a static goal but as a process continually redefined in action: iterated through collaboration and generated anew through practice. In this way, crossing boundaries for sustainable action is not simply about achieving sustainability, but about fundamentally questioning how sustainability might be revitalized through boundary-crossing dialogue and interaction.

RESIDENCY PROGRAM
驻留描述
Residency Description
// One.
驻留创作者将参与到由艺术中心、社区与城市特性所构建的特别场域之中，这不仅包含了位于这座休闲城市南面快速发展变化的建设背景，悠久历史与断裂重塑的矛盾感受。这些内容可能涉及个体与情感、地方与外部、本土化与全球化等多方面的主题，还包含了国内最为丰富的社会化组织与社区实践样本，这些多元因素都将融入驻留的工作生态，为创作者提供多层次的灵感来源与互动空间。
Resident artists will be participating in a unique context comprised of the museum, the surrounding community, and the larger city, which includes the development of a rapidly changing and evolving southern side of a tranquil city as well as the tension between its long history and fractured modernization. The residency’s working ecosystem also engages with diverse themes, spanning the individual and the emotional, the local and the external, the local and the global, as well as an extensive array of social groups and community practices in China. All of these elements contribute to a layered, dynamic ecosystem for resident artists, offering rich inspiration and interactive space.

驻留项目以在地性、开放性、合作性、参与性为目标，并期待驻留创作者以同样的心态投入项目，积极融入社区和城市生活，分享合作中的工作方法、使用工具与专业知识，与团队及外部参与者共同成长。项目团队将全力支持创作者的工作，向创作者开放中心资源库，并协助联系本地资源。同时，通过独特的“超级经纪人”系统，创作者将与当地居民形成结伴关系，从而通过居民获得真实的生活视角，帮助创作者快速了解当地、融入社区，建立自身的创作线索。
The residency program strives for local, open, collaborative, and participatory goals and expects resident artists to approach the program with the same mindset, engaging actively with the community and urban life, sharing collaborative methods, utilizing tools and expertise, and growing alongside the team and external participants. The residency team will fully support artists’ work, offering access to the center’s resource library and assisting with connections to local resources. Meanwhile, through the unique “Super Agent” system, artists will be paired with local residents to gain authentic perspectives on daily life, helping them quickly understand the area, integrate into the community, and establish their creative direction.

驻留项目建立了完善的文献采集与调研系统，期间将进行多次项目采访与讨论，创作成果将通过文献记录并总结。同时，艺术中心推出的“超级经纪人”系统和“RE拓展项目”将展开两个层面的合作以建立更深的关系网络：一方面，通过居民的参与拓展本地生活的多样性；另一方面，与外部学者共享文献资料，以在更广阔的视角和更大的规模下观察与讨论。
The residency program has established a comprehensive documentation and research system, involving multiple interviews and discussions throughout the project, with creative outcomes recorded and summarized. Additionally, the Art Center’s “Super Agent” system and “RE Expansion Program” will launch two levels of cooperation to build a deeper relational network: on one level, involving residents to enrich the diversity of local life; and on the other, sharing documentation with external scholars to enable observation and discussion on a broader scale and from a wider perspective.
