Collection of Acts is a series of curatorial projects that promote contemporary art and contemporary performance as a voice in urban public spaces, allowing art events to interact with a wider range of citizens as a way to spark the innate vitality of urban spaces.
In 2017, Collection of Acts made its debut as a curatorial unit in the Jing’an district during the second season of Shanghai Urban Space Art. Since then Acts and Pathway’s has been deeply involved in the development and spatial design of this curatorial plan.
The site of the first assembly was the old abandoned Shanghai Metallurgical and Mining Machinery Factory. This space itself was in stark contrast with the fierce urbanization of Shanghai.
Acts and Pathway’s accepted the commission, using the form found in flea markets for inspiration, we helped the curators design an unexpected exhibition in the factory. We borrowed the shape of the simple bazaar tent and developed a graphic look from the site warning signs, ultimately giving the Collection of Acts a temporary blown-up feel. On the opening day, artists and creatives came together with residents for the community and members of the audience to reinvigorate an old factory that had lost its vitality.

《集合行动》是一个艺术介入城市的系列策展计划，旨在推动当代艺术和当代表演在城市公共空间中发声，让艺术活动与更多市民发生互动，以此来激发城市空间的潜在活力。
2017年，集合行动第一次亮相，是第二届上海城市空间艺术季的在静安区的一个策展单元，从那时起活络就深入介入了这一策展计划的发展和空间设计。
第一届集合行动的场位于已经荒废的老上海冶金矿山机械厂，这是一处与上海激烈发展的城市化景象截然不同地点。
活络接受委托，以跳蚤市场的形式为灵感，帮助策展人在工厂空间里设计了这场突发的展览。我们借用了简易市集帐篷的造型，从工地警示标志里发展出平面视觉，最终赋予集合行动以一种临时蓬发的感觉。开幕当天，艺术家和创意人们与社区居民和观众们聚在一起，在一个已经失去活力的旧工厂里发生碰撞。
