In the science fiction novel "The Possibility of an Island" written by French writer Wellebecq tells a story about cloning. After a thousand years of survival, the clone gradually loses his desires and emotions in the process, as well as his ability to suffer and be happy. Until the 25th generation of clones, Daniel 25 finally crossed the fence set by his father and ancestors (which used to be a tight protection for the clone's genes) and abandoned the clone's life continuation, he went to the wilderness and started to try to find the "possible island" in the prophecy.

The title of the exhibition is "The Possibility of an Island", hoping to dilute the connotation that needs to be explained philosophically through a literary expression. In the setting of Wellebecq's novel, the island refers to an uncharted territory where a certain possibility exists, and the search for this island means the completion of the break with patriarchal inheritance. This state of affairs is in fact the direct problem that people are currently facing - the dilemma of choosing between continuity and abandonment.

This exhibition attempts to throw out a pan-cultural concept about the "island of possibility", and through the "anxious existence" of each person in the dilemma of choice, the artists will be able to recognize their true identity by constantly asking themselves questions, and thus face the results behind the choice. The result behind the choice.

Either response to this question will be reassembled in a non-linear, ambiguous and bifurcated framework, and each artist's different situation will become an "island" in relation to the possibilities of this exhibition.

As a spontaneous art project plan, "The Possibility of an Island", without any sponsorship, the project team needs to solve the matters of project funding, venue, transportation, work production, site security, media promotion, album design, etc., and hold lectures, workshops and exhibitions in conjunction with many art spaces in Xiamen. The project has received strong support from artists, volunteers, individuals, various art and cultural spaces, media organizations, and sponsors.

法国作家韦勒贝克曾在他的科幻小说《一座岛屿的可能性》 中讲述了一个关于克隆的故事：历经千年，数十代的追忆，克隆人在延续的过程中逐渐丧失欲望和情绪，也磨灭了痛苦和快乐，直到第24代克隆人，他在不断地揣摩和思考的同时，产生极度焦虑和怀疑，虽然只能痛苦结束生命，但这一次的怀疑却按下一个新开关——他的下一代，达尼埃尔25最终跨越了父辈和历代先人设置的栅栏（这个栅栏对克隆的基因曾经起到严密的保护），也抛弃了克隆的生命延续，他走向旷野，开始试图去寻找预言里那座“可能的岛屿”。

展览选择“一座岛屿的可能性”为题，更多的是希望通过以一种文学式的表述方法，来稀释需要用哲学解释的内涵。从韦勒贝克小说的设定来讲，岛屿指代一个未知的领域，它存在着某种可能性，寻找它则意味着需要对父权式的传承进行最终的决裂。这种状态其实一直存在，对包括中国在内的当代社会而言，这也正是人们目前所面临的直接问题——延续或抛弃的选择困境。

本次展览试图抛出一个泛文化概念下“可能的岛屿”的议题，并透过每个人在选择困境中“焦虑的存在感”，让艺术家们通过不断地自问自答，认知自我的真实身份，从而直指方向选择后所面临的结果。

而对于这个议题的回应，可以是任何关乎自我和文化的未知提问，艺术或非艺术的，虚构或现实的，原栖或矫饰的，前卫或世俗的，主体或奴体的，断裂或整体的，无论是哪一种，他们都将在一个非线性连续而充满断裂、歧义、分岔的框架中，重新进行组合，而每个艺术家不同的处境亦将成为一座相对于此次展览可能的“孤岛”。

《一座岛屿的可能性》作为一个自发性的艺术项目计划，在没有任何委托的前提下，项目小组需要自行解决项目资金、场地、运输、作品制作、现场安保、媒体宣传、画册设计等事项，并联合厦门多家艺术空间举办沙龙、工作坊和展览。该项目得到了包括艺术家、志愿者、个人，各个艺文空间、艺术平台、媒体机构、赞助商的大力支持。
