前言

“偷偷摸摸美术馆”缘起于林苒观察家门口的小花园里一个流浪汉在石凳上住了三年，她也留意到自己住的市中心的小区里面到处都是空置房屋。有人流离失所，居无定所，而城市房屋却又如此高的空置率，大面积住房无人居住、使用。她因此开始关注空置房所包含的一系列社会问题。林苒经过大量细致的田野调查、人文思考以及艺术策划之后，在2018年9月开启“偷偷摸摸美术馆”。这是一个流动的美术馆，更是一个致力于如何将空置空间改造成美术馆的艺术项目。将一个个的艺术展览“偷偷摸摸”从一个空置空间移动到另外一个空置空间，像一棵棵顽强而鲜活的植被野蛮地生长着，绽放在各式各样的城市空白中。“偷偷摸摸美术馆”试图通过一系列的即兴、躲闪、侵占、强介入、夜间开幕、不被言说和被动传播的形式，对日常的闲置空间赋予瞬间的精神场能，从而探索艺术的形式、观念的维度和现实语境之间的关系。“偷偷摸摸美术馆”提示了两个现实，即过去几十年里房地产对土地资源的占有和巨量空置以及民间社会资源的生存紧张和矛盾。
The project of the Furtively Art Museum began to take shape when Lin Ran observed that a homeless man had lived on a bench of the garden in front of her apartment building for almost three years. She also noticed that the downtown area was full of empty houses and apartments. There are people wander about homeless, while the vacancy rate of the urban housing is alarmingly high. And Lin began to pay attention to the series of social issues caused by empty apartments.
After a large amount of fieldwork, thinking and curating preparation, Lin Ran founded the Furtively Art Museum in September 2018. The museum is a moving art space, focusing on the transformation of vacant space into an art space. From one vacant space to another, the exhibitions could just furtively show up at any place, just like the lively wild flowers manage to bloom at any corner of the vacant urban buildings.
Through a series of impromptu and unconventional actions, the museum tries to give temporary functions to the daily vacant space in a way that is probably subtle and ineffable, and to explore the the relations among the form of art, the dimension of ideas and the real context.The museum tries to intervene in two realities: the occupation and the vacancy issues of the urban residential space in the past decades, and the crafty and joking approaches to earn the living spaces of the local communities.一，摄影作品《城市里的一套空置房究竟可以用来做什么？》

《沙坡尾石凳守护者的三年》
偷偷摸摸美术馆缘起
文/林苒
2013年的某月某天，我路过自己家小区外面的小花园的时候，发现那个衣着还算整齐的流浪汉，在小花园石凳上已经坐了有好一阵子了。

我用手机随手拍下第一张关于他的照片，发到我的微信朋友圈里。就这样，春来冬去，寒暑易节，不管是阴雨绵绵返潮发霉的厦门南风天，还是艳阳高照的酷暑，亦或是冬日里的暖阳下，他始终坐在那个石凳上，发呆，看报，睡觉，像一尊活着的雕塑。

而我，来来往往地路过，常常会偷拍一张照片，上传到朋友圈。于是，很神奇的，他渐渐变成我——一个陌生人朋友圈里面的一个重要角色。我和我的朋友们，一起观察他，讨论他。甚至有人问了地址，试图来接近他，跟他聊天，给他送睡袋，送水壶。我也曾试图送了他一个哆啦A梦的抱枕……他就这么存在于我们视线里，和我们的世界有了一个交叉点，若有也若无。

2016年夏天，厦门经历一场特大的台风莫兰蒂，之后，我就再也没有见过他了。那个他坐了三年的石凳总是空空的。他就这么消失了，一如他不曾来过。 或许，于他者而言，当我们被讨论，被解说的时候就是平凡的每一个人存在于这个世界上的一个小小的佐证吧。他从未被关注过的生命，延续在了一个艺术展览中。这是我做偷偷摸摸美术馆的最初缘起。

Lin Ran's Preface
One day in 2013, when I passed the small garden outside mycommunity, I found that the tramp, who was still dressed neatly, had beensitting on the stone bench of the small garden for a long time.
I used my mobile phone to take the first picture of him and send itto my Wechat friends circle. In this way, he always sits on the stone bench,dazed, reading newspapers, sleeping, like a living sculpture, whether it's therainy and moldy south wind days in XiaMen, the hot summer days in the sun, orthe warm sun in the winter.
And I, come and go by, often take a picture secretly, upload to thecircle of friends. So, miraculously, he gradually became me, an important rolein the circle of strangers and friends. My friends and I watched him anddiscussed him. Someone even asked the address, tried to come near him, talkedwith him, gave him a sleeping bag and a kettle. I also tried to give him aDoraemon Pillow... He just exists in our sight, and has a crossing point withour world, if any, if not.
In the summer of 2016, XiaMen experienced a huge typhoon Meranti.After that, I never saw him again. The stone bench where he has been sittingfor three years is always empty. He disappeared as if he had never been.
Perhaps, for the other, when we are discussed and explained, it is asmall evidence that every ordinary person exists in the world. His life, whichhas never been noticed, continues in an art exhibition. This is my first reasonfor sneaking around the art gallery.
Life always has a beginning and an end
At the time of origin
A house may take years
It haven't even begun its mission
Or ready to end its life
It's already in time and space
Enter another cycle
It turns into what you like
It's a painting
It's a installtion
It's a poem
Maybe it's what I did to you today
A smile
