WEAR is the independently published journal of HomeShop, an artists' initiative located in one of the hutong alleyways in the centre of Beijing. Aiming to be an annual project, WEAR combines an artist book, theoretical reader and social research in printed form. The journal documents the public activities, discussions and interventions organised at HomeShop, also serving as a broader platform from which to gather contributions from artists, writers and the folks in the neighbourhood for a local dialogue and everyday reflection upon the contradictions and dynamism of a fast-changing China.
The first issue of WEAR journal began as a documentation of a series of community-oriented interventive projects organised during the 2008 Summer Olympic games in Beijing and has since evolved into HomeShop's own artistic practice in the form of a publication. This issue traces the Games from the perspective of Xiaojingchang hutong, an old residential lane in Beijing's central Gulou area. Here, a mapping of the everyday life of a small neighbourhood finds itself in discourse with HomeShop's organised gatherings, interactive events and small experiments in public space, as a way to bend our movements between the public and the private, between village and city and perhaps even more crucially, between person and person.
Wear contains personal writings, photos, theoretical essays and drawings by participants and other invited contributors, including: Angie BAECKER, Beatrice FERRARI, 高灵 GAO Ling, 何颖雅 Elaine W. HO, 高伟云 Jeroen de KLOET, Fotini LAZARIDOU-HATZIGOGA, 毕月 Beatrice LEANZA, 梁越 LIANG Yue, 麦巅 MAI Dian, 欧阳潇 OUYANG Xiao, Sean SMITH and Jocko WEYLAND. Xiaojingchang hutong portfolio by Nelly RODRIGUEZ.

《穿》是家作坊独立发行的杂志，由一位住在北京中心区胡衕里的艺术家创始。作为一个年度项目，《穿》以印刷品的形式将艺术，哲学和社会研究呈现出来。杂志记录了由家作坊发起的一系列公共活动、讨论和干预，同时为艺术家，作家和邻居百姓提供了一个平台，从而营造出一个本土化的语境，对一个充满冲突与活力的高速发展的中国做出即时反应。 《穿》第一期以《08奥运会》及其同时的一系列相关的活动为始点，展开了自己的艺术实践。本期以座落在北京市中心地带，鼓楼附近的老北京居民街区，小径厂胡同为视角，跟踪考察了奥运会。《穿》第一期包括： 合作艺术家梁越免费派送"放心"海报活动的著述、Jocko WEYLAND的插图、策展人Beatrice LEANZA对于中国当代艺术的每平方米分析以及Sean SMITH以奥运门票为奖品的Wii赛跑活动记录。
