What if one day you walked into a classroom and found that all the chairs had fallen apart? “They’re functionless now!” “No more class!” At the beginning of 2024, my deepest desire is to escape all the theories, to put the chairs down, to lie on the floor, to think of nothing, to silently lie down and look at the texture of the ceiling. No more art criticism, no more need to explore art theory, philosophy, or politics, just return to the most primitive feeling. Space is an invisible body that both brings us together and separates us at the same time. To play a game for three hours in the classroom, a game that subverts the order of the classroom. A game with rules you can still break!
