此时此地

两年前，团队在徽州的古村落里做了一座桥，因跨岸两端，悬水之上，取名为“悬岸飞桥”。桥的材料，取自于当地的毛竹，通过运用现代的结构学知识和画意的构想，发挥竹子的韧性，展现了一种乡野的技术戏剧性。此时此地，此材此技，交织为一件有机的自在之物。

Two years ago, Atelier LAI constructed a bridge in an old village in Huizhou, named "Suspended Flying Bridge" for it spanning the two ends of the bank and hanging above the river. The material is taken from the local bamboo. The design utilized modern structural knowledge and picturesque conceptions to bring out the resilience of bamboo, showing a tectonic scenario of the countryside. Here and now, the material and the technique are interwoven into an organic and self-contained object.

此材此技

有趣的是，两年后的今天，我们将“此时此地”放置于上海这样一座大都市当中，又再现了一件“此材此技”，取名为“悬竹”。“悬竹”置于上海虹口区，曾经的租界地，周围是一种石质和装饰性的西方古典主义建筑群。

Two years later, interestingly, we placed "Here and Now" in the midst of a metropolis like Shanghai and represented another narrative of material and technique, named “Bambow”. Located in the Hongkou district of Shanghai, a former concession area, the “Bambow” is surrounded by an architectural landscape of stone and decorative Western classical architecture.

竹子这种原本在乡土中国随处可见，介入人们日常生活生产的植物，成了一位“少小离家老大回”的“客”。当密编的竹子垂弯而立，出现在这座城市的街角一隅，众人纷纷侧目，它不再是乡土中国质朴的生产性的经济作物，而是这个街道一个被展出的艺术品，亦或是人们记忆中的嬉间回忆。

Bamboo, a plant originally found everywhere in rural China and involved in people's daily production, became the one who "left home when he was young"—A "guest". When the densely woven bamboo appears on a street corner in the city, people stop to look at it with curiosity. It is no longer a rustic and productive cash crop in vernacular China, but a work of art on display in the street, or a memory of a frolic in people's minds.

这时的“悬竹”产生的场所感已经超出了“悬岸飞桥”的技术戏剧性，换句话说，技术戏剧性的同时又增加了一种艺术有机性的介入。技术作为一个辅助作用，连接生物学功能和美学，一种现代性在乡土的材料中呈现。

At this point, the sense of place generated by the “Bambow” goes beyond the tectonic scenario of the "Suspended Flying Bridge" which intervenes with aesthetics and its organic nature. Tectonicity plays an auxiliary role, connecting biological function and aesthetics. The vernacular material is represented as an alternative way of modernity here.

此身此势

不同于“悬岸飞桥”，“悬竹”的功能不再是脚步的跨越，而是身体的倚望。它似一座拔地而起的悬空的“竹椅”，对望着场地里的百年古树。因为这种倚望，其身体性更加具有多种可能。身体艺术家谭远波通过舞蹈作品，挖掘了“悬竹”更多的身体性意义。拔地而出的“悬竹”端头，身体凌空，轻微摇晃。古树之下，光影婆娑。

In contrast to the " Suspended Flying Bridge", the function of the "Bambow" is no longer the crossing of the feet, but the leaning of the body. It is like a suspended bamboo chair that rises from the ground and talks to the century-old tree in the site. Because of this leaning posture, the physicality of the “Bambow” derives more possibilities. Tan Yuanbo, a physical artist, explores more metaphors through the dancing performance. When the body sways slightly in the air at the end of the “Bambow”, his/her mind dances while listening to the chorus of hovering light and the shadow of the tree.

此德此艺

线条，是中国艺术的语言。不论是纸面上飞扬的墨迹，还是上栋下宇的木构，不论是诸字吟诵的文诗，还是匠人手中编制的竹艺。我们总是能在线性的流转中品味创作者的势与气。悬竹，材料的力感，场所的气象，被赋予的张悬之势在城市的街角一隅摇曳。

Line is the language of Chinese art. Whether it is the flying ink on the paper, the wooden structure above or below the building, the poetry recited by the characters or the bamboo woven by the craftsman's hands, the momentum and energy of the creator in the linear flow can always be comprehensive. “Bambow” sways in a corner of the city with an open momentum, conveying the force of the material and the Genius Loci.

“悬竹”的线条艺术，以一种柔软的姿态介入，自地面立起，却弯曲而垂，对于重力的驯服彰显而致，柔化了周边场域的冷峻气息。除了柔软，形式当中蕴含的一种极强的韧性也昭然若揭：悬长则柔，立短则刚，刚柔并济，顺势摇曳，势过之后又能回到原位，初心不挪。清雅澹泊，谦谦“君子”。

The line art of "Bambow" is a soft gesture intervention. As a result of domestication of gravity, it stands up from the ground, but bends and hangs, softening the coldness of the surrounding field. In addition to the softness, the form also contains a strong tenacity: if it hangs long, it is soft; if it stands short, it is rigid. It is a combination of rigid and soft, swaying with the momentum. After the momentum has passed, it can always return to its original position, without moving from its original intention. It is elegant and modest, a "gentleman".
