没顶美术馆访问艺术家驻留计划（MVAIR）促进研究并支持艺术家的创作过程。驻留为艺术家们提供了宝贵的时间和空间资源，用于开放式的调查、实验和合作，以推动他们自己的实践边界。该计划以促进艺术创作的新方法，为艺术生态建设的多样性提供催化剂为宗旨。本期的没顶美术馆驻地访问艺术家是胡向前。
有一次路过某农田的时候，看到田里的农作物挂着一个个闪闪发光的光盘，感觉很有趣。当然，我知道这是农民们利用光盘反光强的特点来驱赶鸟类的。
可是在我看来远远不只是这些。光盘在这个物品在技术狂奔的时代，很快就被淘汰，结束生命。有趣的是，光盘居然在一片农田中复活，找到新的使命。我觉得，这和我们人类这个身体很像，在技术和科学面前，我们很快被淘汰，很快就是一堆废物。
在我们身体快变成废物前，赶紧行动。就像这个作品名字一样，春去花还在人来鸟不惊，不断地念，不断地念,我们是否可以唤醒这首古老的诗歌，我没有答案，我也只是用行动来延缓自己的身体被淘汰的命运。

胡向前
1983年出生于广东雷州，2007年毕业于广州美术学院油画系第五工作室，目前生活和工作于广州。
胡向前是活跃在中国当代艺术界的⻘年行为艺术家，他创作的动机纯粹来自直觉的渴望，始终抱持着这样的理念:直白真实地去体验周遭才有可能找到不为认识的现实。胡向前的创作形式可定义为以录像为载体的表演，他的作品灵感来自周围亲历的环境和他对于身体、表演艺术家和表演之间的关系的审思。凭借着对生活中矛盾荒谬的事物的高敏感度，他的作品娴熟地强调出了我们社会中的种种差异，并把一些微小的小事件放大成了社会能指(signifiers)。
MadeIn Visiting Artist in Residence (MVAIR) Program promotes research and supports artists in their creative process. The residency provides artists with resources of time and space for open-ended investigation, experimentation, and collaboration to push back their own practical boundaries. The program aims to facilitate new methodologies of artistic creation and offer a catalyst for the diversity of art ecology. The current MVAIR artist is Hu Xiangqian. On the opening of the exhibition on October the 24th, the artist will do a live performance of Spring has Gone, Blooms Sway; People Roam, Birds don’t Stray at MadeIn Art Museum.
Once, while passing by a field, I noticed that the crops were adorned with shimmering CDs, which I found quite interesting. Of course, I understood that farmers used the reflective quality of CDs to scare away birds.
However, I saw far beyond what is visible. In our fast-paced technological age, CDs were quickly made obsolete. Interestingly, they found new life and purpose in a field. I felt that this is much like our human bodies, which, in the face of technology and science, can quickly become obsolete and turn into waste.
Before our bodies reach that point, we must take action. Like the name of this piece, ” Spring has Gone, Blooms Sway; People Roam, Birds don’t Stray,” can we revive this ancient poem by reciting it over and over? I don’t have the answer, but I use action to delay the fate of my body becoming obsolete.

Hu Xiangqian
Born in Leizhou, Guangdong in 1983, Hu Xiangqian graduated from the 5th Studio of the Oil Painting Department at the Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts in 2007. Currently, he lives and works in Guangzhou.
Hu Xiangqian is best known for his performances, which are usually transmitted through video. His works usually stem from an intuitive desire, and he always holds the belief that only by experiencing the surrounding reality in a straightforward and authentic manner can one discover the unknown. Hu’s performance art is usually conveyed through video. The environment he has personally experienced and his reflection on the connection between the body, the performing artist, and performance itself serve as his sources of inspiration. With a heightened sensitivity to the contradictions and absurdities of life, his works skillfully emphasise the various differences present in our society, magnifying seemingly minor events into social signifiers.
