Assemblage at AAA is a durational performance organised and activated by Floating Projects, a Hong Kong–based art collective that explores issues of space, experimentation, collaboration, and interdisciplinarity.
In the performance, Floating Projects members and friends create improvised installations and actions using found and discarded everyday objects from AAA’s Library, office, and the neighbourhood, as well as from the collective’s own amassing. As they transform these materials, the live presence of the members will enact a dialogue with the library space, inviting a consideration of libraries as sites for ideas, resources, and circulation. The performance investigates the principle of “collective co-individuation,” which allows each participant to perform their own actions and routines to create a space that encourages sharing and exchange.
This performance builds on Floating Projects’ Assemblage + Spatial Pressure Calibration, a series of performances that began in 2015 at the collective’s previous space in Wong Chuk Hang. The fifth issue of D-Normal/V-Essay, an online video zine launched by Floating Projects in 2020 as a platform for exchange and community-building, is dedicated to this particular series.
Assemblage at AAA is part of The Collective School, which explores artist-driven and collective models of learning. Developed in collaboration with Gudskul, a Jakarta-based collective that runs a grassroots school for other collectives, The Collective School provokes debate about what makes collectivity necessary for survival today and how collectives remain adaptive and relevant to their respective contexts.
「文獻庫聚疊」是一場長時性偶發藝術（Happening），由駐香港藝術群體「據點。句點」開創和策劃。組織旨在探索有關空間、實驗、合作和跨領域的議題。
在是次偶發藝術中，「據點。句點」成員和夥伴將利用文獻庫圖書館、辦公室及鄰近社區拾獲的日常用品、廢棄物，以及他們自主收集的物品，進行即興的裝置和行動創作。隨著參與者將物件轉化，他們同時在現場與圖書館空間互動，邀請公眾視圖書館為傳播意念和資源的場域。表演體現「集體個別化」的原則，思考這理念如何讓個別參與者演示自主行動和固定動作，以開拓一個鼓勵分享和交流的空間。
本表演源於「據點。句點」的「聚疊 + 空間壓力測試」。此系列始於2015年，最初在他們位於黃竹坑的前大本營中舉行。有關背景和概念亦載於第五期《平地數碼》，此線上錄像小誌由「據點。句點」於2020年創辦，旨在提供一個交流和社區營造的平台。
「文獻庫聚疊」衍生自《群策群學》，項目由駐雅加達民間辦學藝術群體Gudskul參與籌劃，旨在探討由藝術家主導的群體學習模式。《群策群學》促進各界探討群體協作因何成為現代人生存的必要條件，以及這些群體如何一直緊扣及適應其身處的語境。
Observers are welcome to walk-in anytime throughout the duration of the performance.
