前言
一
19世纪，德国曾经是“科学林业”的行业代表。所谓“科学林业”，就是将森林转化为商业化产品的实验。具体办法就是将自然混合林改为生长迅速，材质坚固的单一树种森林。单一树种的树林第一轮生长得非常好，但是在第二轮出现严重的退化。这是森林多样性被破坏后的必然结果。考虑到一个单一树种的成熟期是80年，“科学林业”的负面后果在一个世纪后才清楚的显现出来。“森林死亡”作为一个专有名词被广泛讨论。
艺术家以自己的姿态介入社会。它不一定能解决问题，但是，它肯定会提出问题。“骤然的变异”就是这样一次行动。作为国家项目的“三峡工程”，其设计和建设，是否存在隐患和弊病，是需要专业化的论文来深入考证。换一个角度看，我们疑惑的内容正是国家机器所标榜的成就。成就的来之不易及极度脆弱是我们必须强调和面对的事实。时间肯定可以留给我们答案，希望它是荣耀而不是其它。
二
行为作品的活力来自冒犯，冒犯观众的陈规惯例，更重要的是冒犯媒介本身。身体的多重属性（指“身体的物质性，社会性，政治性及宗教性等”），其结果是作品的多元表述。极端并置的方式背面，是摧毁传统意义或者反意义。
“骤然的变异”是一次创作计划，不是展览。但是其价值远大于一次展览。它是建立在具体语境下的表达而非关于某个展览概念的阐释。“时间、现场和语境”是计划的内核。文献展只是提供一个环境来尽量还原“现场”。创作在现场，是一次拨乱反正的举动，这是艺术家对其天职的天然反应，也是艺术家之所以成为艺术家的极佳注解。我们为此喝彩！

Preface
Ⅰ
In 19th century, Germany used to be the delegate of “Scientific Forestry” industry. “Scientific Forestry” means the experienment of transforming forests into commercial product. The particular method is to change natural mixed forest into not only fast-growing but also materially solid simplex forest, which grows really well for the first round, but degenerates seriously in the second round of growth. This is doubtlessly the result of destroying the multiformity of forest. Considering one type of simplex forest takes 80 years to grow, the negative aftereffect of “Scientific Forestry” would only emerge after a century of long time. “Death of Forest” was abroadly discussed as a professional term.
Artists make their own way to come upon the stage. They might not solve the problem of society, but they could put forward questions. “The Sudden Change” is such a movement. As a national project, “Three Gorges Project”, we need professional thesises to thoroughly discuss the whether or not existed malady of design and construction. From another side, what we oppugns is just what our nation flaunts. Hard-earned fragile success is the emphasis and the fact we ought to face. Only time could show us the answer, we hope it is a glory but not else.
Ⅱ
The energy of performances are from offence. To offend the stereotype of audience, and more, to offend the medium itself. The multiplicity of body (means physical corporality, sociality, politics and religion etc.) leads to multiple expression of works. The uttermost opposite way of apposing these multiolicities guides to destroy of troditional meaning or anti-sense.
“The Sudden Change” is a project, but not an exhibition. However, its meaning is much more worthwhile than an exhibition. It is a construction under a certain context, but not just an explaination of exhibitional concept. “Time, live and context” are the core of the plan. Documents is the reorigionality of “live” by providing a certain circumstance. Creation is from live, a pioneer movement, which is also the natural reflection of their vocation and the best explaination of artists. We applause for it!
