LIU:What’s your understanding of "curator" ?And now do you think a lot of domestic exhibition curator, the way they perform the function are same to you?Are there any difference? LU RONGZHI: I think the term "curator", means the museum professionals, it is more like the role of the researchers,researching the exhibition. Now many curators for this status, title, more like a kind of independent curator. But as more and more domestic space show up, the art museum had its own internal organizational system, I think the curators will return to the system. I have some similar articles about the discussion.
LIU:Yes, I have read the related article about the differences between the inside system and so-called "independent curator" outside the system. But I do think the initial introduction of the concept, because many people had "curator" defined as a curator, what do you think about it ?
LU RONGZHI: This is a big joke. Because China's oldest dictionary translate "Curator" into "director", but how Curator has something to do with the Curator? This is need to clarify that the fault of the dictionary. So as to today there are still a lot of people to be such a mistake.
LIU:You mentioned that the curators today could took an art director duty, so you first come into contact with the overseas this concept, see how the curator is to exercise their functions, and can these make a big discrepancy? LU RONGZHI:Not from countries or regions perspective, the more is as the trend of the development of the Internet era, as a curator in the change of function. Because of the convenience of the Internet, when I was at the Venice Biennale, I took more than two months, it completely can't do that without the Internet . So the Internet is profoundly changing working as a curator. The cloud is definitely not the distant future.
LIU:I think it may be a problem of national conditions, as"fifty degrees of gray" in the mainland can't release, a lot of people went to Hong Kong or Taiwan or go to the abroad for the view. Images show the reasons why can be established in the mainland do maybe because you can not see on the Internet at ordinary times.
LU RONGZHI:If government regulation says it can't films, as a curator I will not show, even on the exhibition projection wall. Every place has every place of the taboo.Every place has its own rules of the game, taboo, if you want to challenge the rules of the game, you'd have to say there was something wrong with yourself. The rules of the game is to follow the rules,I am such an attitude, no matter how others to think about it, at least I don't won't to do such a thing. For the respect of region culture, so I do not to provoke the rules of the game show. I more care about the pop culture route, not small.
LU RONGZHI:A lot of people write an article or talk in two different way, but basically my thoughts in my mind, the words i said, the text i write, in fact, I already processed.The ability to do this exercise is cultivated since the childhood. I have a good Chinese foundation, this can't be crash. So I told you so seriously don't be so ignorant, to study hard.
LIU:During your lecture, we all admire the affection between you and your lover. I known that before you actually had other emotional experience, and even ready to double suicide, I feel each emotional experience for a girl is not the same. Do you have any idea that a possibility about love and the next person to appear?
LU RONGZHI: To be honest, I were rescued from committed suicide is the beginning of the second period of life. I am an artist, my life, I think it is a kind of art in a living form, this is how I felt. It is art. Like Yayoi Kusama , what she done is all art. I see a boost in her, I do I want to do every thing, the play of life I want to write by my own. Then I put my wedding as a performance art, and then I made my life as whole theatre director, why not? It is the art of me, it is my work. Double suicide did not indicate this state,, so I was just a temporary emotional, is a kind of anger, it has nothing to do with art, but now I have to write a play or novel, or being a curator.
LIU:It is March now, AMNUA will do a lot of public projects, related with women arts or females. Can you can give us a feed?
LU RONGZHI:You do give me the inspiration, I ought to write an article.
