04.06.2014-14.10.2017

Motivation: Myanmar returned to daily life after a short-term monkhood, trying and challenging new methods and possibilities.

The shape is: According to the Tibetan Buddhist "retreat" method of three years, three months and three days, Lao Mu invented his own method of three years, three months and eight days

Rules: Obey the five precepts in daily life, "No killing, no stealing, no sexual misconduct, no lying, no drinking"

Time: From June 4, 2014 to October 14, 2017, three years, three months and eight days

Location: Mainland China

Result: At the end, he was sent to the emergency center by 120 for the second time

It is said that if a person does not encounter any obstacles, his life span will be one hundred years. Each year is 360 days (taking the middle number between the solar year and the lunar year), so a person's life is 36,000 days. Since wisdom energy accounts for 1/32, the total amount of wisdom energy is 1,145 days, which is three years and 45 days. The Indian algorithm is 15 days per month (bocha), so the total amount of wisdom energy is three years and three months.

In order to experience and find the "wisdom" of this human being, Lao Mu risked his life and burned "Meng Chunsheng" with lust for three years, and finally became mad, and was sent to the emergency center by 120 for the second time.

As a result, Lao Mu created "Meng Chunsheng". "Meng Chunsheng" killed Lao Mu.

2014

Works by Chen Xinpeng, inscribed by Mr. Wang Bingfu.Lao Mu called it "Sleeping Temple", and implemented his performance art "Eight Hours with Lao Mu" in this work

On June 21, the new exhibition "A Room Not Belonging to My Own" officially opened at 4:00 pm. There are too many big names, and it was exclaimed that the exhibition lineup in history is super luxurious." One of the most eye-catching is the performance art of the artist Lao Mu "Staying with Lao Mu for Eight Hours". He turned into the abbot of a "sleeping temple", made tea, and waited for everyone to chat. The poster editor saw at the exhibition site that there seemed to be someone in the room called "Sleeping Temple" by Lao Mu, but the door was locked. Who entered the "Sleeping Temple"? What are they doing in there? Why did Lao Mu say that "off" became the theme in the following WeChat? Lao Mu, an artist connected to the poster, interviewed him about this performance art.

Poster interview:

Did you get naked in the end when you said in your WeChat that you "lived with Lao Mu for eight hours" at the space station? what's the situation?

Lao Mu: Because 8 hours is relatively short, many people have no chance. From the opening in the afternoon (4 o'clock) to 12 o'clock in the evening, the "8 hours" performance can be considered as an end, and then the "temple gate" opens, and everyone comes in and party together. Everyone asked me to take it off, and I said no problem. Fu Xiaodong was about to unbutton my trousers. She was very inexperienced and took a little effort to unbutton my pants. But I was still wearing underwear. She was too embarrassed to help me take it off. Li Binyuan helped me take it off... This work, I There is an 8-hour video recording the situation for 8 hours, which can be seen in the exhibition space of the space station.

Because at the exhibition site, someone inside the "temple gate" was locked, and the outside world didn't know what was going on inside. Can you briefly talk about who you met during the entire "8 hours"? What happened?

Lao Mu: At first we chatted alone, and we chatted for a while when someone came in. There are many things to talk about, some people feel very painful after breaking up, some people fall in love with two girls at the same time and don't know what to do. There is an American, he is gay, in fact, I want to challenge to see if he can "bend me" in this temple? Because I never know if I am gay, I haven't tried it! But it seems that I don't have the potential. In the end, there was a little girl who was also completely naked. We were like children, simply looking at each person's organs to see if there was any physiological response?

After 8 hours of work, I think the time is too short. In fact, I want to find a time to do it for half a month, and talk to 1-2 people every day. But this is very dangerous for me, and it is also a big challenge for myself.

This behavior lasted for 8 hours, why did it become the theme of "to take off or not to take off" in the end? In your WeChat pre-show preview, you also guessed, "What kind of "eight hours" will this be? Lao Mu played from "Let's die happy" to "Eight Hours", from a physical gladiator to a spiritual madman, Here is an answer that has no truth, maybe you can help me discover the "Zen" motivation behind the false appearance." So, what is the difference between the initially conceived behavior and the final realized experience?

Lao Mu: In fact, I don’t have much design. Since the beginning of the exhibition, I have been free, not even an idea. My place can be turned into a passage, anyone can come in. Everyone would come in and ask me a question. There are no restrictions on the good rules of the game, which are always changing. This is the most interesting. In the evening after the performance, I got drunk and drew a landscape painting "Salute to Bada Shanren". That state was completely open. Another one is freedom on the spiritual channel. The whole act is to let everyone participate in the fun and discuss about sex and love. Everyone has emotional problems. People who come in all confide in me, and in that environment, they will talk more frankly and nakedly. I gave this power of what to do to the person who came in.

8 hours is too short, 8 hours a day for everyone would be more interesting, but that would be more dangerous. For example, as I said just now, when I was naked in front of the opposite sex, we each checked our own physiological reflections, and they were very real and could not lie. That is to say, the human body itself has the right to speak.

I think this is the real interaction in the creative process, just like two lovers.

What happened in Lao Mu's temple yesterday (June 21, 2014): What is sincerity? can you face it if not? Who are you kidding?

In places like 798, there are not many people who really understand "art". You transform into a "abbot" in a "temple", make tea, and wait for everyone to chat. After drinking for "eight hours" and chatting for "eight hours", "off" became the topic.

"Are you going to take it off or not?"

The physical vacuum is actually a sea of constantly fluctuating energy. When the energy reaches the crest, the energy is converted into a pair of positive and negative elementary particles, and when the energy reaches the trough, the pair of positive and negative elementary particles annihilate each other and transform into energy.

There is a popular mantra here, "Play" is fun, and when "play" becomes an IOU, all those who are not fun will become rich. Poor ghosts are fools and idiots who are really abandoned by the "market" and "market", because "we" have always lived in the innocent country of human beings, and in this realistic Christian communist society, standardization is standardized thinking.

"There is no image in the ten directions, and there is no trace of the six realms. It jumps out of the three realms and is not in the five elements." I would like to thank Dapeng for building the smallest "temple" in the world and giving me the opportunity to be the abbot for eight hours. Thank you Fu Xiaodong for finally unbuttoning me in public. It was very difficult to unbutton...but the hearts of the audience were "relaxed" and "opened". Liang Shuo didn't come because he wanted to take his son to sleep. Juliet didn't take it off, she said she was very traditional.

The sincerity of Jinlu is delightful ~ Rabbit Yinglun, Yi Lun is elegant enough, Runzhi Runzhi, Yun Duo has beautiful breasts!

The abbot makes tea for all living beings, chats with them, undresses and puts on clothes again. Next, Lao Mu is going to dive in Houhai and return the temple to all living beings.

Introduction before the exhibition:

Eight hours with Mu

Anyone is welcome to sign up at any time during the opening period and spend a period of time alone with Laomu in any way. This process will be recorded and become a new legend in Laomu's private space.

Lao Mu reads:

"Space" is an abstract concept, its connotation is unbounded and eternal, and its extension is the measurement of the size and relative position of all objects. This is an existential appearance of speech.

In 2003, on a hot summer day in Kunming, I seemed to be a piece of Brazilian barbecue burned by emotion and sexual instinct, and then madly kneading the clouds and piles of Laotian black and mountain marijuana. Emma was my Scottish girlfriend at the time, and she was pretty and crazy. I went to her house that afternoon, and when she opened the door, she said that I am 22 today, and I said: Well, I will give you a birthday present - "eight hours".

Eight hours of that day became our space station, and we kept making love, making love...  

Time and space are always relative, and I don't care about the orientation, geography, or time of space. I have been in the wild for a long time, nowhere is my workshop, and there is nowhere. And this time in Fu Xiaodong's space to play "Eight Hours", it was the "temple" built by Dapeng that he borrowed. Including the thought of "eight hours" is just the dregs left over from the chat of "Mu Liangfu".

Participating in this exhibition was purely accidental. In 2005, I stayed at the Royal Netherlands Academy of Fine Arts for two years. At that time, Liang Shuo had to solve a Chinese-style "derailment" problem. We discuss it every day, God chops, trying to find an answer that has no results. Later, the physical field was replaced without an agreement. I cut my hair short, and Liang Shuo grew his hair long. I became him and he became me. After returning to China for more than ten years, we rarely saw each other until one or two months ago I started to grow my hair and beard. Passing through Beijing on business, Shuo said that he would go to the temple with us? OK! When we walked up and met, Shuo cut his haircut again, "Shuo with a flat head" haha!

I always like to chat with new girls for "eight hours", preferably with a guy next to me, so that the atmosphere will always be very exciting, "fuck" and "evil" help to discover the turmoil and texture of emotions under the subconscious. On the way back from Sleeping Temple, I drove Fu Xiaodong's Forester, and we became temple friends, driving friends, eight friends...the "eight hours" "temple" was born. "Eight Hours" is the birthday gift that Lao Mu gave to his girlfriend in Scotland, and it is also the "eight hours" that Lao Mu wants to share with those who are destined.

Everything looks great here, but there is a problem. Although Lao Mu has long hair again, Lao Mu is no longer the same old Mu. In the past, Lao Mu ate wine, smoked marijuana and played with his girlfriend, but now Lao Mu eats vegetarian and practices abstinence. Contradictory! What kind of "eight hours" would this be? Lao Mu played from "happy death" to "eight hours" from physical gladiator to mental madness. There is an answer without the truth. Maybe you can help me discover the motivation behind the "Zen" behind the falsehood .

Meng Chunsheng

"Meng Chunsheng" is a self-cultivation experiment carried out by Lao Mu before his "Social Sculpture" project.

"To be or not to be"? This has always been a problem. It is not only an artistic experiment, but also a daily life...

When Meng Chunsheng came to Yutian Lake with the feeling he followed, he dug a hole for his subconscious mind, and then this one became three...

The ancient Egyptians used their knowledge of this theorem to construct right angles. They knotted the rope at intervals of 3, 4 and 5 units, and then straightened the three lengths of rope to form a triangle. They know that the angle subtended by the largest side of the resulting triangle is always a right angle. Pythagorean theorem; given a right triangle, the square of the hypotenuse of the right triangle is equal to the sum of the squares of the two sides of the same right triangle. The converse is also true; a triangle is a right triangle if the sum of the squares of the two sides is equal to the square of the third side.

In the dream tent, he was thinking ~ why the relationship between the truth and the subconscious turned out to be a number...?

I am Chun Mengtian and Chun Mengsheng’s brother. When we were born, we were conjoined twins. We cried and cried every day and asked our grandma to drink. Until one day we said we were going to watch the sunrise. We ran hard and ended up going to the east. The other went to the west. Later, Mengtian discovered that there was no light in the world. And Mengsheng discovered that everything was chaotic. Since then, the brothers have never seen each other again. Until one day...

What is the nature of the heart? That is cool.

Refreshing means "bright" and "jue". It is a very bright power of awareness. It is bright, penetrating, and clear. It can see everything and see everything. This is our mind. It's also cool and blissful, and there's an inner peace, an inner peace, and when you have it, even if you know you're going to die tomorrow, you know that

Meng Chunsheng observes the various efforts that human beings are trying to find their way home...

In this human world, it is natural to discuss "humanity". Meng Chunsheng is constantly discovered by humans that he has "humanity". If you have money…how can you do art if you don’t have money!” He is always accompanied by a group of beauties, even though he is old and poor, they all agree that “you are very unreliable, I will never fall in love with you”! But they will still be together. This group plays a game called "Truth or Dare" every day, and everyone reveals their secrets without reservation. Yesterday, when Meng Chunsheng and Chunqiu had an in-depth exchange on the essence of love, a burst of unstoppable sleepiness pressed his head relentlessly on Qiu's thigh. This sleep lasted for three thousand years, until the fragmented consciousness flowed back into shape again. Chunhua's departure is to recognize individuality and commonality. Chunni's exploration of homosexuality has been working subconsciously. The beginning of the day is unknown [呲牙]

A fake is a fake. In my dream, I stood on the top of the mountain and peed down. I doubted whether it was true or not, and touched it with my hands.

With three women in one play, whether the human beings in this era can successfully get married has become a top priority. Leftover women are the norm in Jingdezhen, where leftovers are equivalent to "surviving difficulties." Recently, I often see people getting married, and ask why? Mostly incomprehensible. Marriage, how to spell "marriage"? When I saw a woman, I fainted. hey-hey! not easy

The practitioner has lost his mind. OK or not, you have to go "OK"

Of course you have to have money to get married. The word "money" means "gold" on one side, and two people are fighting with knives on the other side, and they are both fighting for it. Look at the meaning, they are all fighting to the death for money.

The men and women in Huaguo seem to be all revolutionizing, and have been revolutionizing their own lives. Honest people today can't look directly at it.
