孤独症又叫自闭症，患者往往严重缺乏社会适应及与人的交往能力，本项目就是从“孤独症”这一现象出发去思考“交流”这个主题，项目的题目“你、我和我们之间”代表的是我们所有的人在谁会中的位置，所有的人都可以是你、我，也都可以成为我们。项目的英文题目commonplace是“普通”“日常”的意思，而分开写“common place”则是共同分享一个地方，两个单词common和place可以代表“你、我”，合在一起就是“我们”，交流有时就这么简单普通而平常，既是“我们”分开了也可以共同分享“一个地方”，交流仍然存在。

本项目中，“孤独症”儿童通过与艺术家互动创作，可以获得与另一类群体交流的经验；而艺术家也能走出他们自己的小圈子在尝试与“孤独症”儿童交流的过程中发现一个观察世界的新的方式，既可以更多人了解“孤独症”，引起对交流这一主题的关注，同时又可以为“星星雨”筹款，帮助它继续健康发展。

In Chinese, autism, or guduzheng, translates literally to “lonely disease”. Although it afflicts an estimated five million people all over China, autism is a relatively unknown disorder, not even diagnosable by most doctors. The commonplace project set out to open a dialogue for the “lonely”, to raise awareness of autism and explore the abilities of human communication in general. Autistic children and their families came together with artists through a series of workshops, exhibition, and an auction to benefit the Stars & Rain Education Institute for Autism in Beijing.
