Schein Space
Overview
Schein Space is a transitional space converted from the street stores. It cooperates with artists according to local conditions and integrates “infinite” exhibitions into street stores that can be viewed 24 hours a day. We chose a spatial location where non-designated people can watch, returning to the streets and the crowd, the art communication in a method of subconscious is revived. We believe that the attitude of the artist and the interactive relationship between the artist and the viewer are more worthy of understanding and dissemination – “the unconscious operates as a still unknown force”.It is a constraint but also a freedom.
Currently, Schein Space consists of five contents: “ Is an exhibition ” (a column for artists’ personal projects/exhibitions) where Schein Space will cooperate with artists according to local conditions and the “infinite” exhibitions are integrated into the shops along the street that can be viewed 24 hours a day), “ Is friendship ” ( a column for finding friends, sharing events/projects/exhibitions around the world from time to time, and getting to know them, becoming friends, and encouraging and supporting each other !), “Is a dialogue” (a column in which Schein Space and artists use the exhibition as a clue to have a conversation with each other during the exhibition period), “ Is an event” (Spontaneous, temporary, and responsive activities initiated by Schein Space), “ Is OSWAR” (A residency program launched by Schein Space, encouraging and supporting artists to create, exchange, participate, and present their work in a way that is confrontational, uncertain, transparent, contradictory, sincere, and collaborative. Rooted in Hangzhou, this program aspires to enrich the city’s artistic ecosystem.).
啥空间（Schein Space）是由沿街店铺转化而来的过渡型空间，因地制宜地和艺术家合作，根据当时当地的情况把“无限大”的展览融入到24小时可观看的沿街店铺中。我们选择了一个非指定人群观看的空间位置，潜移默化的艺术传播方式复兴，回归到大街上、人群中。我们认为艺术家的态度以及艺术家与观看者相互影响的关系更值得去理解以及传播——“无意识作为一种仍然不为人知的力量起着作用”。是约束，也是自由。
啥空间由五个内容组成，分别是
「这是展览」（是艺术家个人项目/展览的栏目，啥空间会因地制宜地和艺术家合作，根据当时当地的情况把“无限大”的展览融入到24小时可观看的沿街店铺中）
「这是友好」（是啥空间找朋友的栏目，不定期分享世界各地的活动/项目/展览，并与之相识结交，成为好友，互相鼓励与支持）
「这是对话」（是啥空间和艺术家在项目期间，通过展览作为线索，进行互相交流与对话的栏目）
「这是活动」（是由啥空间自发产生的、临时的、快速应对的活动）、
「柳浪闻莺艺术家驻留项目(OSWAR)」（由啥空间发起，以对抗的、不确定的、透明的、矛盾的、真诚的、协作的方式，鼓励和支持艺术家在驻留期间进行创作、交流、参与、公开，我们扎根杭州，希望能为杭州的艺术生态提供氧气）。
