第52届威尼斯双年展以“感官思索，意识触摸――艺术进行时”为主题，分为主题展、国家馆，以及各个独立策划项目三大部分。“迁移嗜好者”是威尼斯双年展艺术总监罗伯特斯多（Robert Storr）从来自世界各地的数百件独立策划项目中选出的达到美术馆水准的展览项目之一。由此，获邀参加52届威尼斯双年展独立策划项目单元，是该单元中第一个来自中国的项目。

 

两年前，“迁移嗜好者”这个项目发端于上海，着重关注“迁移”对身份、性别、精神需求等问题的再定义。以上海为模式的城市空间在迅速扩张，在中国社会结构中不断引起新的社会冲突。西方与中国传统价值观、生活方式，新兴的资本主义与尚存的共产主义在近年来的拉锯过程中并没有对中国与国际接轨的趋势产生阻碍，反而促进了其自身经济的蓬勃发展。

 

该项目触及的问题不仅发生在上海，在许多其他不断扩张中的亚洲和西方城市中也同样存在。此次的“迁移嗜好者”展览将对威尼斯的公共空间产生一系列的干涉活动，强调如何从时间和空间的维度直接介入城市环境这样一个新的视角。

 

“迁移嗜好者”是从时间与空间的策略来处理“迁移”这一现状的艺术项目。从政治与美学的角度来看，这个项目是艺术与公共领域的桥梁，它与艺术圈外的公众产生互动，同时扩展艺术的概念与它的经验。威尼斯正在经历大的变化，这个城市的未来将依赖于新结构的出现。越来越多的威尼斯人离开本地去其他城市生活。按照统计未来的30-40年将不再是威尼斯人的威尼斯了。

 

“迁移嗜好者”将展览举办地点与公共空间直接联系起来，同时也加入该地点独特因素，探索存在的差异和可能的共同点。参展艺术家通过自己的文化背景与自己的作品探讨迁移的问题、利用时间与空间的方法论发展新的观念，把问题直接放在城市里进行探讨。

"Migration Addicts" was selected from hundreds of submissions from around the world for the collateral events, a section of the Biennale which shows public museum quality projects chosen by Robert Storr, the Artistic Director of the Venice Biennale.

 

Migration Addicts began as an ongoing project two years ago in Shanghai, investigating how migration re-determines issues related to human identity, gender and spiritual needs. The fast expansion of urban spaces, following the model of big cities , has led to new social conflicts within the social structure. Recently the tension between Western and Chinese traditional values and lifestyles, as well as the late arriving of capitalism and the persisting communism, have not hindered the Chinese impulse towards assimilating the “international standards”, while fostering its own economic development.

 

The project is touching upon topics which concern not only Shanghai but many other expanding Asian and Western cities. The structure of the exhibition is based on a series of interventions that will take place throughout the public space in Venice, articulating new perspectives entrenched directly in the urban environment, and methodologically operating in time and in space.

 

 

Migration Addicts investigates the questions of temporal and spatial strategies which deal with this situation. On a political and aesthetical level, these projects bring a bridge between art and life, interacting with people outside from artistic circles, expanding the idea of art and its experience, to continue an engagement in the public sphere. Venice is currently living a deep changement and its own future depends on the new structure it is undertaking. More and more Venitians are moving away from the lagoon to settle down in other towns. In the next 30-40 years, it is mathematically sure that any people will live in Venice anymore.

 

The artists participating in Migration Addicts face through their own culture and artistic practices the topic of migration, developing new perspectives that entrench the theme directly in the urban environment, with methodologies that operate in time and in space.

 

Migration Addicts provides a direct relationship with the public space where the exhibitions is hosted, reflecting on the peculiarity of the territory, investigating differences and possible points in common.
