\nFollowing the intimations of the life journey, HU Fang would like to explore how to re-connect two spatial archetypes that would seem to be far removed from each other in terms of geography and culture\u2014Krameterhof, a permaculture showcase on a slope of Austrian mountain (as a prototype space of nature farming) and the Chinese garden (as a prototype space of constructed nature) \u2014which will in turn allow us to think about the potential of the art space today: as a site for focusing on flows of energy and processes of growth; as a site for focusing on everyday nourishment and cultivation; as a site for practicing care for others and preparing space for the exercising of sensibility; as a site which, instead of being detached from its surroundings, aspires to be perpetually open to multiple dimensions of time and life.
\nIf this were so, then regardless of whether it is Krameterhof or the Chinese garden or some other more latent spatial archetype, the significance of which escapes our current understanding, all would develop more fundamental links with the implications of the \u201cart space.\u201d
\nThe lives of such spaces must be maintained through constant encounters with different forms of life, so that through a kind of daily discipline of receptivity toward relations and dynamics, people and spaces reciprocally exchange each other\u2019s modes of living.<\/p>\n
