为期10个日夜的首届骑楼公社艺博会（Champochic Mini Art Fair）已圆满画上句点。艺博会期间的白日里，我们迎来行内外的多样观众群体。观众们走进位于中山路的老骑楼，打开了通往艺术的一扇“自动门”。

“当代艺术很欠揍！”这个主题和一场艺博会本身是矛盾的。一方面，当代艺术的产业化/市场化是许多艺术圈内的怪象与问题的源头。然而，艺术商业的可持续性又是当下我们散步时刻Champochic觉得不可忽视的议题，于是有了这场“非标”艺博会。

主单元当代艺术家群展承担了一场艺博会所需要的“看头”和销售氛围，而纸本超市（Paper Market）、艺术书桌（Reading Table）、艺术发生（Art In Action）和“雕琢”古代造像藏品展（Sculptured by Time）等平行单元，将大家从当代艺术圈的现状暂时地抽离。我们试图去削弱艺术界话语权的中心化和解开资本的枷锁，将焦点放在艺术价值的分享与传播上。

每天傍晚的6点后，艺博会进入它的下半场。连着10天，位于老骑楼二层的骑楼公社忙碌地举行着一场场Chitchat分享会和工作坊。不同的分享人，有的从策展理论出发，有的从印刷输出的实践进入，也有艺术家将创作的主导权交给了现场的学员和观众，在参与的个体身上唤醒出属于他们自己的创造力。

整场艺博会从一开始的策划到最后的实践，总算是顺顺利利地完成了对当代艺术的一次“出拳”。虽然，我们也知道或许在现阶段，拳头还不够有力，真正能够促发的影响力也相对有限……万事开头难。然而，在厦门这座已有着自己城市艺博会10年的城市中，随着首届骑楼公社艺博会的落幕，散步时刻Champochic以艺博会发起团队的身份登场，为这座城市埋下新的艺术基因，为2026年打开了更多的可能。


展望2026年，期待和各位继续一起散步去 :)

Champochic MAF (Mini Art Fair)

The 10-day Art Fair event has officially concluded. During the daytime of this event, we welcomed a diverse range of audiences from both within and outside the industry. Visitors entered the historic shophouse building on Zhongshan Road, unlocking an' automatic door' to the world of art.

"ART PUNCH!" This statement directly contradicts the very nature of an art fair. While the commercialization of contemporary art fuels many problematic issues within the art industry, yet  the sustainability of the art market is a pressing concern that Champochic chooses not to ignore. This is precisely the underlying reasoning for our decision to establish such an unconventional art fair.

The contemporary artists group exhibition served as the centerpiece for the art fair, while parallel sections like Paper Market, Reading Table, Art In Action, and Sculptured by Time provided an escape from the contemporary art sphere. Our initiative sought to disrupt the art world's centralized discourse power and break free from market constraints, shedding light on the sharing and dissemination of art's intrinsic value.

Every evening after 6 PM, the art fair enters the “second half”. For ten consecutive days, the Shophouse Commune hosted Chitchat lecture sessions and workshops. Guest speakers range from curatorial theorists to printmaking practitioners. Meanwhile, the workshops provided an avenue for artists to empower the student audience to unleash their creative potential.

The entire art fair journey—from initial planning to final execution—has successfully delivered its "punch" on contemporary art. Though we recognize that the current momentum may not be strong enough to create significant impact... But as the saying goes, "Once you get started, the most difficult part is out of the way. " In Xiamen, a city with its own decade-long running art fair (like most Chinese city), this first edition of the Champochic Mini Art Fair marks the debut of the Champochic team, dipping its hands into the art fair scene. This event has inserted new energy into the city’s art scene, paving way for new possibilities in 2026.
