#008 坚果兄弟：恶作剧式社会参与

山顶洞人

这一集因为拖延症拖过了无忧无虑的秋冬，直接进入疫情肆虐的春。当时的欢声笑语，剪辑时听起来尽然有些治愈。这一期的主要嘉宾坚果兄弟从好几年前开始就积极介入公共事务，从水污染到弱势儿童就学，从性小众的婚恋问题到呼吁煤老板学习垃圾回收。

在中国，很多当代艺术家都会通过自己的创作反思和回应社会问题，其中有一小部分则会选择以社会参与的方式用艺术家擅长的形式、展演的方式，用或激进或荒谬的方式把我们已经见怪不怪的问题，用滑稽或丑陋的样貌高声带入大众视野。

坚果兄弟就是此中一员，多年的经验亦或是天性使然，他有一套处变不惊、见招拆招的方式来和管制跳探戈。又善于借助荒唐、幽默的进入方式，和社交媒体与大众传媒合作，有效传递自己的信息给看热闹的人们。

这期节目有四个人登场，除了我，还有坚果兄弟的长期关注者、关心性小众议题的Bayar，坚果的战友+女友「2B妹子大师范儿」——协助他完成大量公共艺术项目，当然还有坚果。

事后再听我们聊了那么多社会问题，但那一种自嘲与幽默在今天这样严酷的日子里快没有了，特此把这集献给所有在疫情中想要借助创作，表达意见，提供关怀的创作者们。

As a fast-growing country, China has encountered a lot of challenges in many social aspects. There are more and more contemporary artists from this country creatively and critically express their ideas and concerns through social art. Nutbrother is the most humorous one among them. Based in Shenzhen, the artist is curious how modern life is undergoing rapid changes in Chinese urban environments. Throughout the years he raised much social awareness for such topics as environmental protection, excessive consumerism, education gap between the city and the rural. He is also know as a savvy social media user that carryout a significant part of his practices on Douban, WeChat and Weibo. In this episode, Nutbrother walked me through many funny yet heavy moments in his creative life, and how he tries to conduct the kind of art practise separated from mainstream art circle but in the quotidian life of everyday China.
