上海玻璃博物馆加入上海市博物馆教育联盟

2017年5月18日

经过8个多月的筹备，在 5·18国际博物馆日当天，上海市博物馆教育联盟正式成立。该联盟由上海博物馆牵头，全市11家博物馆加盟，涵盖艺术、科技、自然等各个领域。上海玻璃博物馆作为唯一一家非国有博物馆有幸加入其中。

博物馆教育联盟致力于整合各博物馆教育资源，将会做以下4方面的工作：成立一个统一的信息发布平台，尽量将全市博物馆的教育活动信息统一发布，方便参与者、专业人员进行信息检索；组织人员的交流、培训，提升博物馆教育工作者自身能力；搭建这样一个专业、有公信力的平台，可以对各个博物馆举办重要活动进行评估，促进工作的提升；通过教育联盟，将在博物馆学以及博物馆教育的研究上做相关工作。

上海玻璃博物馆自成立以来就非常重视教育活动的开展，建馆六年来已形成包括艺术工作坊、特色讲座、玻玻璃璃实验室、天才玻璃梦想家等一系列针对不同年龄段的教育活动。此次加入上海市博物馆教育联盟将提升上海玻璃博物馆品牌教育活动品质与知名度，增加与各兄弟博物馆业界的交流互动。

SHMOG joined the Shanghai Museum Education Alliance

May 18, 2017

After eight month of preparation, on the National Museum Day, Shanghai Museum Education Alliance was established. The alliance is taken the lead by Shanghai Museum, and eleven museums in the city joined the alliance, which covered from art, technology, nature and other fields. Shanghai Museum of Glass was honored to be one of the members as the identify of only one non-government-owned museum.

 Since the establishment, museum education are always the core function of SHMOG. SHMOG has already developed series of featured education programs, such as art workshop, expert speech talking, BOBOLILI Lab and Kids Design Glass.SHMOG believed we could take the chance to elevate museum education program quality and communicate more with other important  museums in Shanghai.

温暖每一颗孤独的小星星

作为博物馆这一重要的社会文化机构，上海玻璃博物馆除了承担展示、教育、收藏基本的功能职责外，关注社会群体、肩负社会责任也是义不容辞。在过去的五年间，上海玻璃博物馆都努力为那些心怀梦想的人们献出了一份微薄的爱心。我们曾携手公益组织“宝贝之家”，呼吁社会对需要手术的患病和残疾儿童关心；又与上海盛立公益基金会举办“live玻璃心”关爱儿童心灵成长公益活动，关注沪上农民工子弟学生。我们大力支持爱心科普基地联盟，向广大无偿献血者敞开科学大门；也关心当下青年艺术学生生存状况，与慈善团体Quest合作，通过艺术品拍卖方式，资助中国贫困艺术生出国深造。我们希望，每个人能在博物馆里实现自己的美好梦想，一个个小梦想如溪流般汇聚成河，最终铸造成一份更瑰丽更宏大的愿景和幸福。

孩子们自然是在最好的做梦年龄，每个人心中都或多或少富有灵性的小火花，“Kids Design Glass天才玻璃梦想家”活动也正是为了将孩子们的纯真想法和妙笔生花变为现实，实现他们心中的点滴火花。在2016年“Kids Design Glass天才玻璃梦想家”招募活动所获得的数千幅绘画中，我们意外地收到了来自某地患有自闭症孩子们的画作，借此才第一次切身地了解了自闭症的相关情况和这些特殊孩子们的梦想。这些平时看起来和一般孩童无异的小天使们，却可能连最基本的生活行为都不能自己完成。他们沉默，孤僻，容易紧张，害怕嘈杂，但又有奇妙的绘画天赋和才能。这些孩子们仿佛如遥远夜空中的星星。明亮，引人注目，但却遥不可及。

借由此因，在2017年，“Kids Design Glass天才玻璃梦想家”决意将更多目光投注到这群可爱的孩子身上。我们与“青聪泉儿童智能训练中心“合作，在此展出孩子们的画作，这些看似熟练而自如的笔触，奇幻而富有生机的意境背后是这群孩子们、家长们和关爱他们的人们日复一日的努力和坚持。梦想，从不分人群，也无论年龄。世界上没有两片相同的树叶，每个孩子都是上天馈赠的特别礼物。我们希望有更多人能关爱这些孤独的星星们，帮助他们实现心中的梦想和对未来的期盼。

也许，每个人都是一颗孤独的星星，需要找到茫茫银河中的位置。 但，我们相信，每个人更是一颗独一无二的星星，只要有爱与沟通，也终将能散发与众不同的光芒。

Give Each Kid A Chance

Museums are important socio-cultural institutions, and in addition to carrying out its basic function and responsibilities in exhibiting, educating, and collecting, SHMOG is also duty-bound to devote its attention to social groups and fulfill its social responsibility. Over the past five years, SHMOG has strived to give a little love to people with dreams in their hearts. We teamed up with Shanghai NGO Baby Home, calling on the public to show concern for sick, disabled children in need of operations. Together with the Shanghai Sheng Li Foundation, we also held the Live Glass Heart, a charity event devoted to children’s spiritual growth that focused on students who are the children of migrant workers in Shanghai. We’ve put a lot of support behind the Love Science Alliance, throwing open the doors of science to the large amount of people who give blood for free. And we’ve also focused on the living conditions of young students, working with the Quest charity and using an art auction to provide the funds for poor art students to study abroad. Our hope is that everyone will be able to make their own beautiful dreams a reality in the museum. If, like tributaries, each little dream combines to make a river, then the result will be a vision and happiness that are even more far-reaching and magnificent.

Childhood is, naturally, the best age for dreaming. To a greater or lesser extent, all of us have many spiritual sparks within our hearts. The Kids Design Class event is specifically created to turn children’s pure thought and angelic writings into a reality, bringing the sparks in their hearts alive. Among the thousands of paintings we received for the opening ceremony of the Kids Design Glass event, we were surprised to find pictures from autistic children around China. These paintings taught us more about the circumstances of autistic children and the dreams of these special children. Though they usually look no different from other children, these little angels are incapable of doing even the most basic everyday tasks by themselves. They’re quiet, isolated, get anxious easily, and are afraid of noisy places – but they have a wonderful gift and talent for painting. These kids are like far-off stars in the night sky: Bright, striking, but out of reach.

As a result, in 2017, Kids Design Glass has decided to devote more attention to these lovable kids. In collaboration with Qingcongquan Children’s Training Centre, we have been exhibiting the kids’ artworks. Their strokes seemingly skillful and confident, these fantastic, richly vibrant works are the product of days of effort and perseverance by the children, their parents, and those who love them. Dreams don’t distinguish between age and social group. No two leaves in the world are the same. Every child is a special gift bestowed by the heavens. We hope that more people will show concern for these lonesome little stars, helping them achieve the dreams and hopes for the future in their hearts.

Perhaps, every one of us is a lonely star that to find its own place in the vast galaxy. Yet, we also believe that each person is also a unique star that, with love and communication, will radiate its own special light.

退火2017派对

2017年月3日4日

上海玻璃博物馆在3月4日傍晚特别邀请艺文界知名人士，共同见证2017年“退火”正式开始。2017新一轮的“退火”即将迎来全新的跨界艺术形式，两位重量级当代艺术家——林天苗与毕蓉蓉会以自己的视角再次将玻璃与当代艺术熔融到一起，这场新一轮的“退火”也势必会给我们带来新的艺术体验。

每一次玻璃与艺术家擦出的火花都是对艺术的一次重铸，而上海玻璃博物馆所做的就是减缓这一温度的下降，把当代艺术所受的“应力”减小到最低，从而保证艺术本身的最完美展现。“退火”不仅使得材料能够充分绽放，更使得艺术的生命力持续加温、并延展至最无边的未来。这就是“退火”带来的无穷魅力，让我们期待2017年底，林天苗与毕蓉蓉两位当代艺术家与上海玻璃博物馆将“退火”的新作品带给大家，也将玻璃的魅力延伸向更多的艺术家和大众。

Annealing 2017 Party

March 04, 2017

Annealing is an essential part in creating glass art, and also, key to its final formation. The raw materials are burnt at over 1,000 °C until they turn into molten glass, ready for formation. Then the annealing process begins by heating the formed glass, and then keeping it warm, first slowly cooling it and then quickly cooling it. While slowing the speed of cooling, it can relieve the residual stress within the glass. Though controllable, it takes time to finish the process. But what is really fascinating is that it is the unknown and uncertainty in annealing that bring an unpredictable life to the glass artwork.

Every sparkle between modern artists and glass is a renewal of glass art. For Shanghai Museum of Glass, our role in this is to slow the cooling of the sparkle, and relieve the “internal stress” of modern art to its minimum for presenting the art itself in its best possible form. We sincerely hope that in each year’s exhibition, we could present our audience with artwork infused with feelings and emotions, not just cold materials merely cooled down sitting on the platform. “Annealing” not only can bring the best out of the materials, but also keep the art alive and lead an infinite life. This is also the “annealing” that will be constantly found in us.

知识讲座是公众了解博物馆文化的良好途径，南京博物院秉持：服务公众，提升品质“的宗旨，于2016年推出”南博讲坛“系列讲座。

讲坛邀请文博专家、学者，如第五期邀请了旧金山亚洲艺术博物馆许杰馆长，第七期邀请了故宫博物院单霁翔院长等，面向公众讲述关于博物馆故事，探索全民参与学术的交流新形式。

2017年，南博讲坛以“博物馆多样性”为主题，继续邀请知名专家学者为公众倾情介绍极具特色、个性十足的博物馆，而上海玻璃博物馆馆长张琳先生，则非常荣幸能够为公众带来开年的第一场讲座。

上海玻璃博物馆所在的地方，原本是名叫“上海轻工玻璃物业园”的工业园区，同上海城郊的的很多工业园区一样，在走过自己的辉煌之后，逐渐走向被人们以往的边缘。随着产业的日渐颓废，或废或旧的厂房也一幢一幢的进入了沉寂。

但当大多数人都觉得它也终将走向无可挽回的沉沦之时，一位萌生全新梦想，并为此执着准备了5年的人，决定以实际行动颠覆它在当时已成既定事实的结局，他就是上海玻璃博物馆的馆长–张琳先生。

全身心融入到这样的舞台，用五年的时间，亲历一个原本埋没于城市边缘的老工业园区一点点洗净身上的烟尘，在沉寂过几个年头之后，这片土地终于又重新绽放出了别样的精彩。

不同于国有博物馆，上海玻璃博物馆是一座非国有的专题类博物馆。自博物馆于2011年正式面向公众开放以来，一直秉承着”分享玻璃无限可能“的理念，不断实现着自我突破，逐渐成长为一座互动体验型的国际化、社区化博物馆。

上海玻璃博物馆馆长张琳先生，带着1300°的热情与活力，将上海玻璃博物馆5年来的奇妙历程和动人故事，向大家娓娓道来~

时间：2017年1月15日上午10：00

地点：南京博物院小剧场

主讲人：张琳（上海玻璃博物馆馆长）

在博物馆的退火炉里擦出意想不到的火花

2017年我们为当代艺术开一个好头！

This time we have the honor to invite the famous youth art critic Yao MengXi

 with two participating artists of “Annealing” 2016: Liao Fei and Yang Xinguang

 together to bring a talking about “Annealing” in this New Year

Friday afternoon, January 6th, 2016 

Let’s have a talk about “Plain” and “Glass Intestine”

What the “Annealing” represents?

Where is the pain of the “Glass Intestine”?

How to understand the point, line and the plane in the “Plain”?

 This time Yao MengXi will sit and have a talk with the two artists

Who call themselves two “new students”

respectively as “Science Student” and “Art Student”

They talk about the art history, contemporary art, philosophy, natural science

Exhibitions,  materials as well as the glass itself.

Shared with a variety of fun in the process of the “collision” with glass.

The audience were moved by the humor and wisdom of them.

We could hear the laughter from time to time

The warm of perceptual and  the cold of reason

facing in the annealing furnace of museum unexpected

We began a perfect start for the contemporary art in 2017!
