家作坊 ︳HomeShop
「家作坊」位於北京市中心舊城區的一條胡同裡。2008年由何穎雅創辦，是一個結合臨街居所和藝術工作室的自發計劃。「家作坊」的空間和門面是審視公與私、商業與純粹交流等相互接續往復的起點。通過不同面向的小型活動、介入行動及紀錄考察等活動，藝術家、設計師和思想者相聚於此，在「家作坊」這個開放平台上提問現時的經濟及藝術生產模式。日常生活、工作及社群關係便成為了微觀政治及共同工作可能性的探索。
HomeShop began as a storefront residence and artist initiative in Beijing 2008. Located in the centre of the city on one of its old hutong alleyways, the space and its window front are used as the beginning points from which to examine ways of relaying between public and private, the commercial and pure exchange as such. Artists, designers and thinkers come together via multiple, interwoven series of small-scale activities, interventions and documentary gestures, processes by which HomeShop serves as an open platform to question existing models of economic and artistic production. Daily life, work and the community become explorations of micropolitical possibility, and of working together.
何穎雅 ︳Elaine W. Ho
1977年生於美國，現居北京。1999年畢業於美國莱斯大學藝術及藝術歷史系，其後於紐約帕森設計學院學習服裝設計，現為媒體理論及歐陸哲學碩士研究生。作為一名藝術、都市實踐及設計工作者，她的作品多藉由不同面向的藝術語言，探索人、空間、組織與日常生活之間纏結的微觀政治關係。她以共同合作作為其工作模式及基礎，因此她的作品，如聲音/影像、記錄片及介入行動等，都探索一種人對人、社群網絡式生產的可能性。2008年，她發起了「家作坊」，將北京一條老胡同中一個臨街店鋪改造成與當地社區及附近公共空間互動的住宅／工作室。透過組織不同的協作活動如工作坊、研究、田野錄音，「家作坊」及其獨立出版物《穿》雜誌，期望發展出一個開放平台，藉以探索一種同時依附又脫離於經濟生產模式的關係。
2013年春季，何穎雅來到香港參加活化廳的「藝術／行動者駐場計劃」。她平日好飲鴛鴦茶。
Elaine W. HO (HK/USA) works between the realms of time-based art, urban practice and design, using multiple vocabularies to ask questions about how people, space and organisation intertwine with the micropolitics of everyday life. Often working collaboratively, her audio/video work, documentary gestures and interventions focus on alter-possibilities of an intimate, networked production.
In 2008 she founded HomeShop, a storefront space turned home base for interactions with the local community and the surrounding public space. Via the organisation of collaborative events and workshops, research and field recordings, HomeShop and its independent journal publication WEAR have sought to develop an open platform that examines the relation as a process tied to but outside of other economic modes of production.
She likes to drink coffee and tea mixed together and has been working this spring in Hong Kong as part of Wooferten’s art/activist-in-residence programme.

Fotini Lazaridou-Hatzigoga is an architect and researcher whose practice explores the possibilities inherent in the intersections between social and physical spaces. Such context specificity finds working manifestation in curation, artistic production and collaborative organization, all of which point to an interest in structure as a dynamic of being and working together. She is one of the founders of PROGRAM in Berlin and co-organizes HomeShop in Beijing.
