“免疫·地理”试图反思在当前的气候下,身体与物体、自我与他人、 认同与非认同、存在与缺席的冲突。展览的空间被视为一座"通道",一个过渡转换和链接的空间。13位来自不同地理气候和文化环境的艺术家在几乎相似的身体经验下,在这一空间中同步开启一场文化地理差异中的对话。“免疫·地理”邀请观者注意从适应到栖息状态的转变,例如身体与符号的对抗,人类生存在自然和数字领域中的具体化和非实体化经验。

“大流行”将 “免疫力”重新置于聚光灯下,免疫伴随病毒而生,而具有“双栖”属性的病毒不再是单纯的自然风险。食品链的高度工业化破坏了区域环境下有机体的自然免疫力,导致致病菌种群的增长,而全球化跨区域的运输系统(例如冷链)进一步加剧了这种风险。因此,“免疫”不只是环境生物性的,也与地理、政治和技术紧密相连。

在生物学中,“免疫”被定义为对外部来源的一种抵抗反应,而免疫哲学常常把关于自我、身份和主权的主张自然化。德里达的“自我免疫”概念将免疫看作共同体针对自身的作用机制,而不是一种与外来敌对或者异质力量的对抗方式。其解释下的“免疫”与医学意义上的免疫截然相反,“自我免疫”建立了人类身体与身体政治的关系,却自然地具备解构这些关系的意义。唐娜·哈拉维将免疫系统视为毫无疑问的后现代物质,即一个编码系统。病毒成为信息故障或交流异常的碎片,一个误识或违反“自我”边界的过程,而现代免疫学则为西方生命政治辩证法中自我和他者之间的辨识与误识描绘了一张地图。由此,免疫学创造了一个令人激动的后现代身体,它重新唤醒了人类身份,书写一段新的建构。

在这里,我们讨论如何试图在“扩散”、“遮蔽”、“避免” 中进行艺术生产创作。此次讨论是在合作状态下进行,来自不同地域背景的艺术生产者将在内容和形式的相互影响之下进行拼贴对话。在展览的过程中,我们共同提出以下问题:身体、精神和数字(符号)能否协同工作?我们能在网上建立群体免疫吗?我们需要其他人和自然来生存吗?来自不同地理区域的艺术家如何应对全球免疫危机?

"Immunity·Geography" attempts to reflect on theconfrontations between bodies and objects, self and others, identification and disidentification, presence and absence in the current climate.  The space which the exhibition occupies willbecome the "passage", a space of transition and connection. 13 artists from different geographical and culturalclimates with similar physical experience, are invited to conversation underdirect cultural and geographical differences. We would like to draw the audience's attention to the ideas of transition from the adaptation to inhabitation, such as the body versus the symbol, embodied and disembodiedexperience within the natural and the digital spheres of human existence.

The pandemic has put the spotlight on human immunity.Immunity is stimulated by viruses, and viruses with "amphibious"attributes are no longer a pure natural risk. The industrialization of variousprocesses, responsible for food manufacture and distribution, put a greatstrain on the immunity.Globalization and the trans-regionaltransportation system further exacerbates this risk. Therefore,"immunity" is not only an environmentally and biological concept butalso closely related to geography, politics, and technology.

According to its definition in biology, Immunity is aresistive reaction to external sources. Nevertheless, Immunology often hasserved to naturalise claims about self, identity, and sovereignty, mostprominently in Jacques Derrida’s writing Autoimmunity: Real and SymbolicSuicides, when he defines the autoimmunitary processes of democracy: “As weknow, an autoimmunitary process is that strange behavior where a living being,in quasi-suicidal fashion, ‘itself’ works to destroy its own protection, toimmunize itself against its ‘own’ immunity.” Derrida's exposition about"Immunity" is entirely different to its biological meaning, it refersto self-destroy in a political sense. “Autoimmunity” establishes relationshipsbetween the human body and body politics, but it is also introduced todeconstruct these relationships. Donna Haraway regards the Immune system as anunambiguous post-modern object , a coded system. The disease becomes "asubspecies of information malfunction or communications pathology", or"a process of misrecognition or transgression of the boundaries of astrategic assemblage called self". Modern Immunology draws a map forrecognition and misrecognition of self and others in the dialectics of WesternBiopolitics. Thus, for Donna Haraway, Immunology creates an exciting postmodernbody, it reawakens human identity and writes a new constitution.

In this exhibition, we discuss how to attempt to create artin the process of "diffusion", "concealment" and"avoidance". In the course of the exhibition we ask, inter alia, thefollowing questions: Can body, spirit, and the digital (symbol) live in synergy?Can we build herd-immunity online? Do we need others and nature to survive? Howdid artists coming from different geographic regions respond to the globalcrisis of immunity?
