“擅自將臨時建築建設為永久性的建築”— 違章建築定義之一。
“違章建築”在這裡是一個借喻，對“違章建築”的闡釋顯然是建立在我們身處其中的社會現實與美學系統的矛盾基礎上的，針對的是文化理想主義發展自身的內在邏輯顛亂。在今天，人類面對著臨時性的、位移的、無恒定標準的、自我建構的、被他者建構的“違章建築”，其悖論往往都是建立在對時間與空間的過度闡釋上。在什麼樣的關係中，一個主體的自我建構實際上是被另一個主體所建構？我們無意去尋找兩個或多個主體間的間隙所在，而是希望找到不同主體間相互覆蓋下的新色譜所在 —“違章”形態。這裡要跨越時間，空間、歷史、地理、人文等領域，從中我們試圖去進行“建築”。積極意義的“違章建築”應該是“內”“外”相互置換觀照下的一個非穩定主體性生成的來龍去脈。“違章”是一個單向度二元是非判斷，是橫截面；“建築”是複雜多維度的人類生存慾望需要，是一個動態鏈,必需與前者依附才能産生意義。我們在這種狀態裏遊戲，也被這種狀態所遊戲，因為“違章建築”構築我們的日常，可能是有形的，也可能是無形的，可能是某種個體的身體知覺經驗史，也可能是某個集體無意識建構歷程，每條線蜿蜒交錯而自相矛盾又形影不離，互為鏡像而生成自我。所以我們不是試圖從社會統計學角度的橫截面來剖析，而是希望從社會發展遊走形態的縱向發生學來尋找過程中歷史的、現在的或者未來的意義。世界性的違章建築遭遇雖然其所“違”的“章”各各不同，但現實敘述的吊詭就是在將臨時性“建築”轉化為永久性“建築”同時，永久性“建築”也成了臨時性的“違章建築”。
長征計劃在2006年推出了違章建築I, 作為2008年長征空間的首個群展, 違章建築Ⅱ除了參加人數多達30多位的特點外, 還將在布展等呈現方式上有個特徵明顯的違章: 打破現當代美術館白色空間中的約定俗成的闡釋作品的方式, 否定作品在空間中視覺的和聲音上的區隔, 在這麼一個主題展中, 擁抱物理的關聯才能建立視覺與心理的關聯, 從而達到最大程度的矛盾碰撞. 否定常規性對作品之間的線性語義或獨立意義的敘述形式，這種混雜的並置以隱晦的暗示和高調的矛盾來消解導引企圖，還是無法回避主觀的策展意圖,從而使 “違章”和“建築”成為一個真實性的主體現場。
我們為什麼無時不在“違章”中“建築”，同時又無時不在“建築”中“違章”，週而復始，樂此不彼？
一切都建築在違章中。

‘Building Code Violations’ is a conceptual metaphor….
The concept of a “Building Code Violation” comes from the legal lexicon of modern urban planning and management targeting those specific individual actions that are in contravention of a normalized and unified social system. In this exhibition, “Building Code Violations” is a cultural approach directed at a “universal” modernity. This type of “top down” approach, while revolutionary in nature, has resulted in not only overturning local epistemological systems, but also a displacement of nature and space, a distortion of bodily experiences, and a heightening of class tensions. The expression of “violations” is built upon offshoots of individual needs, and underneath the surface of these acts resides a critique towards the construction of a particular idealist aesthetic or social construction.
The definition of a ‘Building Code Violation’ is officially classified a ‘fact’ in China, a breach of civil code. What is crucial to this understanding of a ‘building code violation’ is that what may be considered a violation one year, may be approved in the next, and vice-versa. Building code violations, constructed in daily life should be understood as a process in the society, rather than the basis for social statistics. Such violations can be formless, hidden or undetectable; it could be an individual experience or an unconscious collective perception accumulated in the process of an action. Are we “building” in response to a “violated code”? Or are we consciously “violating code” in response to the “building” around us. Such conundrums are at the heart of this project. This exhibition interprets the concept of "Building Code Violations" as a conflict between social reality and aesthetic ideals. It highlights the contradiction between globalization’s advancement of a single cultural value system, and the reality of societies whose functional systems of existence are thrown apart by its imposition.
The creation of a ‘building code violation’ responds to an existing situation that is deemed dysfunctional or inherently opportunistic in its approach to cultural, social, or political value - hence individuals and collectives are seeking to pose new methods of action and in turn propose new methods of existence. Consequently, “Building Code Violations” reflects the power of the “self-built” environment, it points to a necessary force motivated by local contexts, which cannot be overruled by global standards. The existence of such violations, in a cultural sense, demands that we ask what conditions brought about this breach of code; what circumstances drove an individual or group to take a situation into their own hands in an attempt to improve or adapt; why did they feel so compelled to act in this way? In other words, the shape of the ‘violation’ matters.
‘Building Code Violations will be an exhibition that presents a series of solutions which are in progress, created in response to the reality of social frameworks of today.
In this global world, there are numerous actions and creations that could be considered violations within the fabric of society and social behavior. These various violated codes possess the power to change what may be considered temporary circumstances into permanent and functional entities. This is a never-ending cycle of intervention and approval.
Everything is built in violated codes.
