简介

《张璐≈怀尔德曼俱乐室》（Lu Zhang ≈ HuaiErDeMan (Wildman) Clab） 是一本既是档案又是对张璐2017至2023年公众参与项目的反思的艺术书。书中收录了她实践演变的资料，包括情境陶瓷的文献记录、研究笔记、阅读参考、视觉诗以及其父亲的手绘与书法等内容。 书籍的制作过程见证了艺术家自我和解的旅程，探索了她个人与艺术身份如何在一种难以归类的实践中找到位置。

Lu Zhang ≈ HuaiErDeMan (Wildman) Clab is an artist book that serves as both an archive and a reflection on Lu’s public-engaged projects from 2017 to 2023. Within its pages is a collection of materials that trace the evolution of her practice, including documentation of her situationist ceramics, research notes, ephemera, reading references, visual poems, and contributions from her father in the form of drawings and calligraphy. The book-making process itself bears witness to Lu’s journey of reconciliation, exploring how her personal and artistic identity finds a place within a practice that defies easy categorization.

​The publication comes in two editions: a special limited edition of 15 copies, presented in a handcrafted ceramic box and accompanied by a matchstick to ignite a ceramic slab, revealing the artist’s manifesto poem; and a regular edition of 450 copies, each accompanied by a hand-made ceramic piece inscribed with a hand-written character by the artist. Both editions make the publication a literal art piece in itself. The book also features a commissioned essay and an interview with the artist by film studies scholar Xueli Wang, as well as a foreword by Herb Tam, offering deeper insights into the context and themes of her work.
