Shanghai is a spoiled town with anything and everything under the sun, towered over by its gigantic monumental sky scrapers kissing almost the fire ball. Whatever you are thinking of is available and reachable anytime, all the time, all times, 24h/7! The biggest, fastest, tallest, most, best, better ...are familiar words that lurk behind all street corners in the city. The middle kingdom, the country with the biggest population on this planet. And this population is getting taller and bigger with intensive help of all this wonderful food coming from the other big country, the USA.In the local art world "they" like to use the same expressions: most famous, or richest or most expensive artist, or the artist with most assistance and most workers, or the artist with the biggest studio, meaning the biggest spitting out art factory, masturbating the art market. "Shanghai contemporary", the "biggest" art fair in China is coming up soon (Sept 9-12), hmmm, biggest? Wasn't that already Art Hong Kong this year?

Anyhow, this seems all quite contagious and to play the "big mode" as well this fall, stage候台BACK invited Barbara Anna Husar, an Austrian artist with a big brain and a big smile. In her luggage: HUGE dinosaurs. Those Rexas will lay humongous eggs all over Shanghai, especially on the Expo site, the biggest world expo with the most visitors ever seen!
STOP!
stage候台BACK is small artspace, located in an underground warehouse (Weihai Lu 696). Introducing innovative artists in Shanghai.
Ms. Husar will use stage候台BACK to actively work in that space. Her dinosaurs will grow slowly in the for her new environment. We will have an opening on September 6 that will be work in progress, "unfinished" so it seems but more so it will act as an invitation in an oasis of creation, exchange and dialogue during Shanghais biggest, best, most etc. "art week" in September. Step by step her works will slip of their eggs and purr: Less is more!

上海是这样一个在阳光下万物娇纵的都市,欲以她座座拔地而起的摩天大楼要去亲吻天上的火球。无论你想什么,她都拥有并且可以提供,时时刻刻!
最大,最快,最高,最好,更好……这样的词语流淌在上海的每个街角。这个中央的国度,拥有着这个星球最多的人口。而且,这个人口在其来自如美国这样的“大国”的“高品质”食物的帮助下,在变得更高更大。
在本地艺术圈,“他们”喜欢用这样的表达法:最有名、最富有、最昂贵的艺术家,或者一个拥有最大助理团队最多工人的艺术家,或者一个拥有最大工作室的艺术家。是否意味最大程度地呕吐着这个艺术工厂?或自慰着这个艺术市场?“上海当代艺术展”,又一“最大”的艺术盛世马上要在上海拉开序幕(9月9日至9月12日)……“最大”?今年不是已经被香港艺博会摘得?
无论怎样,这个“最大”病菌的确有其传染性。于是这个秋天,stage候台BACK迎来了Barbara Anna Husar,一位有着“最大”的大脑和“最大”的微笑的奥地利艺术家。在她的行李箱里隐藏着:巨型恐龙。这些叫REXA的特种恐龙将会在全上海产蛋,尤其是那个有着迄今为止最多游客的最大的世博区!
停!
stage候台BACK是这样一个小的艺术空间,隐秘于‘地下’的老工厂(威海路696号)。在上海为真正拥有创造性的艺术家提供空间和其它可能性。
Husar女士会使用stage候台BACK进行她的创造工作。她的恐龙们也会在这个新环境里孕育长大。我们将在9月6日正式为这一进行着的,“待完成”的项目开幕。尤其是在上海这个弥漫着“最”气氛的环境里,我们希望它不是一个形式上的老套的浮夸的开幕酒会,而是一种企图在真正创造性的绿洲上进行的一点交流与对话。在9月的第二周,一步一步地,她的工作将会破开恐龙蛋,咕噜咕噜叫到:简才是大!
