Resident, or Resident Evil, or This Minor Contextualisation of a Minor Temporality Known as Publishing on the Run

The body of Resident, or Resident Evil, or This Minor Contextualisation of a Minor Temporality Known as Publishing on the Run has been reviewed, collated, and edited as an epistolary archive of the period from 7 December 2021 to 13 April 2022. As a portrait of the dual identities of precarity and privilege during pandemic-era travel, it reveals the complexities and complicities of its author, who writes under various names to a sprawling network of friends, employers, and collaborators—sometimes in the realm of administrative labour, at other times reflective, radically intimate, or chatty. The volume compiles various short writings, e-mail correspondence, excerpts from other books the artist was reading at the time, and other print-worthy documents.

Each book is wrapped with detritus paper including magazines, newspapers, circular advertising and posters collected by the artist, forming an additional portrait of the flattening of the image in contemporary society—or, covers to be judged.

《Resident, or Resident Evil, or This Minor Contextualisation of a Minor Temporality Known as Publishing on the Run》的主體被審核、校對，被編輯為一部自2021年12月7日至2022年4月13日期間的書信體檔案。作為新冠疫情時旅行的特權和雙重身分不穩定性的肖像，作者展露複雜性和共謀，書寫交流在不同名義下的朋友們、僱員和合作者的無序蔓延網絡——時而在行政勞動的領域，時而反思的、激進地親密、或饒舌。該卷匯編不同短文、電子郵件通信、藝術家當時在閱讀的書籍摘錄，以及值得印刷的文獻。

Elaine W. HO works between the realms of time‐based art, experimental publishing, language and urban practice, using multiple vocabularies to explore the micropolitics, subjectivities and alter-possibilities of an intimate, networked production.

The act of describing takes on a number of forms—a kind of grammar, a documentation, a gesture, a biography—or an experiment in Beijing known as HomeShop. She is the initiator of the artist-run space, active from 2008-2013, and continues to ask questions about the sociopolitics of syntax, more recently via print, pirate broadcast and as co-conspirator with Display Distribute, a networked research platform investigating bottom-up organisation amidst global trade (2015-ongoing).

She likes to drink coffee and tea mixed together and is a frequent contributor at www.iwishicoulddescribeittoyoubetter.net.

作為一名時基藝術、實驗出版、語言以及都市實踐工作者，何穎雅的作品常藉著運用多維度的藝術詞彙，探索在現代社會中，人、空間和組織與日常生活之間微觀政治的纏綿關係。

這樣的描述行為有多種形式：一種語法，一份記錄，一個手勢，一部傳記——又或者是一個在北京的實驗，『家作坊』。這個由她發起並由藝術家運營的空間活躍於2008年至2013年。何穎雅不斷追問社會政治體系的句法，目前是通過獨立出版，海盜電台，以及作為『展銷場』的同謀來研究自下而上的社會組織與「低端全球化」。

何穎雅平日好飲鴛鴦。
