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.

This issue and the second season of HomeShop are marked by a more cynical bent, whereby the pointedness of quotation marks, as in "cultural exchange", invite investigation into the deeper multiplicities and ambivalence hidden within this overwrought term. Continuing its documentation of daily life in the hutong, WEAR number two intertwines HomeShop's series of exercises in cultural exchange with commentary, imagery and special projects on the topic by contributors such as Carol Yinghua LU, RAQS Media Collective, Meiya LIN and Michael EDDY. A special 28-page insert has also been created especially for the journal by artist Reinaart VANHOE.

《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。

家作坊第二系列活动以及第二期杂志《穿》都变得更加愤世嫉俗 。"文化交流"这一词组被置于引号中旨在邀请大家重新审视思索它的滥用性、双刃性以及多重诠释性。 它是对胡衕生活记录的延续，《穿》第二期"纠集"了一批参与者（卢迎华，RAQS媒体小组、林美雅、Michael EDDY等）来实践和评论"文化交流"并以图像的形式表达针对此话题的理解与诠释。28页的别册也是艺术家海纳(Reinaart VANHOE)为本期杂志特别制作的作品。
