Niko de La Faye invites you to the screening of the images he brought back from Dakar and to share with you the stories of this 6-weeks African trip that did not happen at all as expected…
Last May M2B project was in Africa. For its 7thyear traveling around the world it took part of DAK’ART biennale, one of the main contemporary art event in Africa, with the ‘M2B Dakar’ exhibition and a series of performances in the streets of the Senegalese Capital.
9月6日，Niko de La Faye邀请您观看他刚从达喀尔带回的影像与视频放映，并与您分享为期6周的的非洲之行的故事，并非所有事情都如期待的一样…
This is a new big step in this hybrid art project combining kinetic-sculpture, photo, video and performance. After Asia (2011-2013), Europe (2014-2015) and the US (2016-2017), Africa is the 4thcontinent that M2B visits.
M2B于去年5月在非洲出现。在第7年的环球旅行中它参加了达喀尔艺术双年展，这是非洲主要的当代艺术展览之一。它在塞内加尔首都的大街上举办了“M2B 达喀尔”艺术展和一系列表演。这是一次融合了运动雕塑、照片、视频和表演的艺术项目的一个新的重大进展。继亚洲(2011-2013)、欧洲(2014-2015)和美国(2016-2017)之后，非洲是M2B访问的第4个大陆。
M2B is a representation of the Universe placed upon a traditional Chinese tricycle. It is composed of elements from both Eastern culture, using Taoism symbols and Western science, referring to American physicist Garrett Lisi theory of everything.
M2B是宇宙的展现，放置在传统的中式三轮车上，它结合了东方文化和西方文化的元素，使用道教符号和西方科学，引用了美国物理学家Garrett Lisi的万物理论。
After the performance started from Beijing in 2012 and reached Hong Kong after a 80-days journey, Niko de La Faye and his mobile-kinetic-sculpture were invited to Paris in 2014 by the Mayor of the 4th arrondissement. Two years later the Department Of Transportation of the city of New York (DOT NYC) requested M2B to come and parade on Manhattan for the Summer Streets Festival.
在2012年表演从北京开始，经过80天的旅程抵达香港之后。2014年，Niko de La Faye和他的动态雕塑被巴黎第四区市长邀请到巴黎。两年后，纽约市交通部(DOT NYC)邀请M2B前来参加在曼哈顿举行的夏季街头艺术节(Summer Streets Festival)。
For Niko this project is an indispensable gesture in a world in which distances are shrinking and people are moving away from each other. M2B project may seem like a derisory gesture, but the symbols it conveys, literally, are charged with a universal force.
对于Niko来说，这个项目是世界上一个不可或缺的姿态。在这个世界里，距离正在缩小，人们却正在远离彼此。M2B项目似乎是一种嘲弄的姿态，但它所传达的符号，从字面上看，是一种普遍的力量。
