• 听土耳其设计师聊聊自己的创作心得

Keep it Glassy2自4月18日开幕之后，以其独特的设计理念，全新的空间创意设计获得了广泛的关注。原本封闭肃穆的空间，因为玻璃和光影的引入，有了透气和空灵的感觉。KIG2珍存过去、畅想未来的主题，让行走于四个不同展厅的观众加深了对时间的体验。作为一个专注于玻璃设计的展览，KIG2持续搜罗并汇聚国内外最具创新活力和独特价值理念的设计师，探索他们从玻璃中汲取灵感的多中方，以最让人耳目一新的方式和公众分享。

8月15日下午，我们特别邀请KIG2参展设计师，远道而来的土耳其设计师Bilge Nur Saltik为大家分享她的创作体验和心得。OP-jects，是Nur美丽的创作品。玻璃的反射和失真同样可以展现曼妙效果，把纺织印花和棱面玻璃结合起来，通过对颜色和几何形状的玩味，可以在玻璃器皿上创造出一种万花筒般的效果，每天都能给人焕然一新的观感。 

Nur同样为我们带来将丝巾和玻璃扣组成的系列作品“Through the looking Glass”，这两个部分组合在一起，完美地满足了人类对窥探表层之下事物的渴望。丝巾扣折射我们的所见，显示织物和印花的细节，将图案分解成疯狂、不可预测的形状和颜色。

OP-LIGHT和OP-VASE是Nur最近在进行创作的新项目，通过对于玻璃和物件的细致玩味，展示日常生活用品的无比美丽和奇思妙想。原来，看起来普通的玻璃物件，可以让生活更加美好。

• 赏琴声细细箫声幽幽

一曲《春江花月夜》箫曲拉开整场演出的序幕，在接下来的时间里感受清风入弦，绝去尘嚣。安抚我们的白天烦躁的心灵，感受恬静美好之妙趣。《阳关》一曲展唐代大曲之古意，《酒狂》写阮籍佯作潇洒。品《忆故人》里委婉深情，闻《泽畔吟》中悲恨交加。当场的古琴爱好者颇受启发，临时献上了一首小曲《关山月》，以和众乐。琴箫合奏《渔樵问答》作为正常演奏会的圆满句点，曲意深长，神情洒脱，而山之巍巍，水之洋洋，斧伐之丁丁，橹声之欸乃，隐隐现于指下。

独坐幽篁里，弹琴复长啸。值此良夜，各位有幸一聚，赏琴箫一曲，皆为缘分。

How To Spend A Literary And Artistic Saturday At The Shanghai Museum of Glass

August 15, 2015

Passing through a hot summer, unknowingly it’s already the beginning of autumn. When the warm sunshine back to earth, how do you intend to spend a rare leisurely Saturday? Will you take a long lazy sleep, read a good book or have a rich feast like usual? Why don’t you come to the Shanghai Museum of Glass (SHMOG) and have a literary and artistic Saturday?

Listen to the Turkish designer to talk about Her own creative experience

Since the opening in April 18th, the Keep it Glassy 2 (SHMOG International Glass Creative Design Show “KIG2”) has received a wide range of attention relying on its unique design concept and the new space creative design. Because of the introduction of glass and light, originally closed solemn space obtained a kind of breathable and airy feeling. The theme of KIG2 “Treasure the past, think about the future” has deepened the audience’s experience of time in four different exhibition halls. As an exhibition focus in glass design, KIG2 continue gathering both domestic and foreign designers with the most innovative vitality and value of the unique concept; explore their kinds of inspiration from the glass, and share them with the public in the most refreshing way.

We specially invited KIG2 exhibition Turkish designer Bilge Nur Saltik to share her creation experience and knowledge in August 15. “OP-jects” is one piece of Nur’s beautiful work. It combines textile printing with prismatic glass, uses reflection and distortion effect of glass to create colorful geometric figure. Therefore, the final work shows a kaleidoscopic effect, and every day it can give a whole new impression. 

Nur also brought us a series of works “through the looking glass” that combine the scarves and glass. Through different combinations of the two parts, it is perfect to meet the human desire to pry beneath the surface of things. Scarf buckle reflect what we see and display the details of fabric and printing, decompose the patterns into crazy and unpredictable shapes and colors. 

“OP-LIGHT” and “OP-VASE” are the new projects that Nur has recently creating. Through careful pondering on glass and objects, she shows us the incomparable beauty of daily necessities. It turns out that ordinary glass objects can make life more beautiful.

Gentle Guqin, Distant Xiao

After enjoyed the beautiful artworks and the wondrous creativity of its designer, let us begin a melodious evening. It was a pleasant time, the moonlight fell and a little breeze passed softly. SHMOG held a “Qin-Xiao Ensemble” concert in new conceptual Ai-Lu Rainbow Hall which opened in this May. In the night, the light of the rainbow hall appears glitterier.

The Xiao song “Moonlight on the Spring River” was a prelude to the whole show. With the music accompanied by breeze coming, and drifting away, the audiences’ restless mind during the day began to calm and peace. In the next songs, “Yang Guan” expressed poet Wang Wei’s miss and care to his old friend, “Jiu Kuang” described poet Ruan Ji’s unrestrained and frivolous mind, “Yi Gu Ren” conveyed the author’s deep feeling of longing to his friend, and “Ze Pan Ming” describes poet Qu Yuan’s depression and grief to his mother land “Chu”. When this four song finished, one of the audiences, a Guqin Lover, quite inspired by the beautiful music, and he presented a ditty “Guan Shan Yue” with all the joy. The last song is Qin-Xiao ensemble “Yu Qiao Wen Da”. It has deep meaning. In the music audiences viewed towering mountains; heard the gurgling streams, and the talk between fishermen and woodcutters. A beautiful picture just flowed in the fingers of the players.

Sitting quietly in the rainbow hall, surrounded by the melody, we shared together. It was a wonderful Saturday night at SHMOG.

博物馆不眠夜，萌宝大作战

2015年8月1日

周六晚上，夜静得出奇，唯有晶莹璀璨的玻璃宫殿与繁星点点的夜空交相辉映。但是就在8月1日这晚，儿童玻璃博物馆的阵阵欢声笑语打破了博物馆深夜的安宁。原来，有21组家庭在八月的第一个周六，在“萌宝大作战”中度过了一个奇妙的博物馆之夜！

活动在下午三点准时进行，饶有趣味的破冰小游戏拉开了帐篷之夜的序幕。虽然只是热热身，但是每个家庭都不甘落后。爸比、妈咪带着宝贝，使出浑身解数，打开脑洞。在破冰小游戏中获胜的家庭兴趣盎然地挑选着住处，迫不及待地打开包袱，准备搭帐篷。未获优胜的家庭们虽有小小遗憾，但却一点不能影响宝贝们激动的心情。有的学着爸比的模样，自己探索着搭起今晚的帐篷；有的忙于四处串门，欣赏邻居家搭起的临时屋子；有的感觉发现了新天地，急于结识新伙伴，分享自己最爱的零食。

搭帐篷确实是一件力气活，完成之时，许多宝贝都已经饥肠辘辘了。于是，这21组家庭在我们工作人员的带领下，来到了花园开始享受丰盛的晚餐BBQ。宝贝们拉着新认识的朋友，围坐在烤架边，焦急而耐心地等待着厨神爸妈的出火之作。

饱餐过后，每个家庭开始了博物馆的参观之行，探索G+玻璃主题园区里充满艺术氛围的上海玻璃博物馆、互动趣味十足的儿童玻璃博物馆以及新锐酷炫的国际玻璃创意设计展。灯工表演和热玻璃演示也是此行不容错过的亮点。在跳跃的小火苗中，依靠灯工师傅娴熟的技艺下，一只活灵活现的蓝色玻璃鲸鱼赫然呈现在大家面前，大朋友们小朋友们都连连拍手称奇。热玻璃吹制师傅也特意在今晚一连制作三个不同类型的玻璃制品，惟妙惟肖地展现了玻璃的无限可能，博得大家经久不息的掌声。

紧接着就是帐篷之夜最紧张的游戏时刻了。在这21组家庭中，勇敢的爸比、自信的妈咪带着机智的宝贝一起穿越儿童玻璃博物馆，按照游戏规则完成“够快”、“够萌”、“够创意”三组闯难关任务。在这场刺激的互动闯关游戏中，拼速度、比萌值、秀创意！ 

晚上九点半，经过这一场游戏，宝贝们也有些疲惫了。大家回到各自的帐篷，准备休息，同时期待着明早丰盛的早餐。 

今晚，妈咪可能没有力气再给宝贝讲睡前小故事了，但是宝贝们置身在帐篷中，依偎在父母身边，倾听玻玻和璃璃的耳语，沉沉入睡，满怀期待，等着那些正躲在某处观望的博物馆小精灵们的入梦。让我们共同期待更加好玩，更加有趣的萌宝大作战第二弹！

Sleepless In Museum With Family Fun And Adventure

August 1, 2015

On every quiet Saturday night the starry sky appeares in close conjunction with the glass palace, glittering and translucent and bright, excpt the evening on August 1^st . It turned out to be that 21 families had fun with each other at the wonderful night in Kids Museum Of Glass on the first Saturday in August, breaking the peace with cheers and laughter. 

This museum camp night started with an interesting icebreaker at 3:00p.m. Every family was unwilling to be so far behind in such a warming-up game, as a result of which, fathers, mothers and babies spared no efforts to win the game. Those who got higher scores were able to pick up the place at first that they were going to pitch their own tent, while others found it a little pity. But knowning what the result was had no influence on excited babies. Some focused on learning how to put up a tent by theirselves from fathers, some took the initiative to go around and say hello to their new neighbours, others could’t wait to make friends and share what they have with each other.

Many babies were as hungry as a wolf after the completion of camping. So all the families went to the garden in G+ Park to enjoy their superb dinner—–BBQ with the help of our staff. The kids, staying with new friends and sitting around the gill, were waiting for the great dishes by chef mother or father with anxiety and patience.

After the meal, 21 families carried on the visit in the museum, exploring highly art-filled Shanghai Museum Of Glass in G+ Park, interestingly interactive Kids Museum Of Glass as well as extremely cool exhibition—Keep It Glassy. The performances of glass blowering and hot melting were the highlight on this trip that you couldn’t miss. A vivid blue whale made of glass was impressively appeared in front of us in a short time, which demonstrated the worker’s remarkable technical proficiency. The glass blowing worker specially produced a glittering array of glass of three types this night, spreading appropriately the idea of the infinite possibility of glass, which achieving everyone’s applause on the spot.

Then the most nervous moment in the camp night was arriving. According to the rules, 21 families appreciated the fun-filled evening of discovery and interactive games and challenging activities as well.

Babies felt tired after finishing the long-term adventure, therefore they decided to go back to their tents for the night in expectation of the delicious breakfast tomorrow morning.

It seemed that mothers were unable to tell bedtime stories as usual because of exhaustion. But it doesn’t matter! Nestling close to parents in the tents and listening to the whisper of BoBo and LiLi, the kids sank into deep sleep with anticipation that some elves which were hiding somewhere in the museum would come out !

Let’s looking forward to more fun and more interesting Family Fun And Adventure (Season 2)!

为孩子的梦想插上翅膀

2015年7月12日

在你身边的某处，或许躲着能变成各种食物的小精灵，或许藏着拥有特殊神力的小怪兽，或许隐着来自外星球的小伙伴……虽然大家都没有见过这些生物，但是我们每个人都能够描绘出我们心中的奇幻生灵。

超速飞鸡！

四眼精灵！

甜圈吃人怪！

这些名字听上去好奇怪啊，可是，这都是我们天才玻璃梦想家笔下的奇思妙想！

2015年7月12日上午，我们邀请了6位获奖的天才玻璃梦想家们及其家庭来到儿童玻璃博物馆的K空间，与美国TACOMA玻璃博物馆热玻璃工作团队进行视频对话。

“妈妈，这是我的画！”“爸爸，你看，好看吗？”一进入K空间，小朋友们牵着爸爸妈妈的手急忙开始寻找自己的作品，并骄傲地向大家介绍了自己的作画小想法。

九点半，视频对话准时开始。远在大洋彼岸的热玻璃工作团队，一边认真仔细地为小朋友们解答各种关于玻璃、关于自己作品的小疑惑，一边忙着将其中一位获奖小朋友的《多眼双头怪》一点点以多彩的玻璃塑造成形。孩子们最关心的莫过于自己的作品是否成功这一话题。于是，TACOMA博物馆的工作人员将已成型的玻璃作品一一做了展示。当画面中出现自己的玻璃作品时，小朋友忙向爸爸妈妈“炫耀”。而那些还没发现自己的玻璃艺术品的小朋友们，脸上没有一丝失落，反而更耐心地等待。小朋友们，在自己的座位上，痴痴地望着顶级艺术大师们出神入化的技艺，见证着这件作品成型的那一刻。

为这一个个奇思妙想插上翅膀，成为一件件精致的艺术品，并不是一蹴而就的，而是需要时间慢慢打磨。当所有获奖作品都打造完成时，我们将在2015年10月举办KIDS DESIGN GLASS展览，与大家一起感受由这些绘画与玻璃艺术品所打造的童话世界，欣赏天才梦想家的童真与幽默，感叹艺术家们的非凡表现力。

让我们一起期待，一起为孩子的梦想之翼鼓掌！

Let Children’s Dream Soar

July 12, 2015

In somewhere surrounding you, perhaps there are elf that can become various foods, little monsters that have extraordinary power, or friends come from other planets…… Although we never see these creatures, all of us can depict them in our mind.

Speeding Flying Chicken!

Four-eyed Monster!

Men-devouring Donut Monster!

These strange names, in fact, are the name of the fantastic creatures designed by our talented glass dreamers!

In the morning on July 12, 2015, we invited six awarded talented glass dreamers and their families to come to the K-Space of Kids Museum of Glass, and have a Skype chat with the hot glass studio of the Museum of Glass in Tacoma.

“Mom, this is my painting!” “Dad, look, is it look good?” Entered the K-Space, the children held the hands of their father and mother, began to find their work hurriedly, and were proud to introduce their ideas of the painting.

At half past nine, the Skype chat started on time. The hot glass studio answered doubts about glass production and children’s own work patiently, at the same time, they were busy to create the work of one of the awarded child called “Multi-eye and Two-head Monster”. The most concerned topic of the children is whether their work is successfully produced. Thus, the studio showed the completed glass works to them. When the screen has showed their own glass works, children immediately “show off” to their parents. For those children who had not found their own glass work, their face had no trace of lost and they had more patience to wait. Kids sit on their seat, journeying looked at the top artistry, witnessed the forming moment of their work.

It needs time to plug in the wings on our whimsy and let them to become the fine art. When all the awarded works are completely produced, we will organize the KIDS DESIGN GLASS exhibition on October 2015, share the fairy-tale world that created by the paintings and glass artworks, appreciate the innocence and humor of our talented glass dreamers, and lamented the extraordinary expression of the glass artists.

Let us look forward and clap for our children dreams!

Flowing – Activity on Campus by The Shanghai Museum of Glass

May 26, 2015

Glass is an amazing material that can be soften and becomes liquid at 900 degree Celsius. People discover the special characteristic of glass and turn it from an usual material to a splendid work of art. On the 26th of May, Shanghai Museum of Glass (SHMOG) and Fudan University worked together to hold an activity on campus.

In the DIY workshops, students could paint their favorite characters of caricatures and Baymax on glass bottles as well as make different mosaics collages. Among various workshops, DIY workshop of glass accessories such as rings and pendants was the most popular. Students enjoyed the workshops and they experienced the way of beautifying glasses with creativity. Not only did students experienced the amusement of glass from DIY workshops, they also learnt more about glasses through exhibition. The theme of exhibition was “flowing”  and 6 different collections of artistic glasses from different countries were displayed. The splendid artistic glasses revealed the “flowing” characteristic of glasses as well as the prosperity of glass workroom movement and the idea exchange about glasses since 1960s.

In the conference , Zhang Ling, our CEO, shared the community-based planning of our museum with the students of Fudan University and exchanged books with associate professor Liu. Searching an unique way for the development of SHMOG is the most important question today. So we need to think about how to build a closer relationship with the community, to hold an interesting exhibition for young group and break the traditional impression of Museum. Only solving these kinds of problem can we become more competitive.

The “Flowing ” is one of the activity of the “518 International Museum Day” and it marks the beginning of cooperation between SHMOG and Fudan University. Establishing a closer cooperation relationship between museums and universities is the critical planning of museums and it will be the main concern of SHMOG in the future. Thus, in order to extend the functions of museum and to put museum into people’ leisure time, SHMOG will keep cooperating with Fudan University in the field of career training, strategic development of museum, exhibition planning and education programs.

To us, this is a tremendous recognition and honor.

Surrounded by the beautiful artistic environment of Shanghai Museum of Glass, the brand new G+Park came into rudiment shape. G+Park is the first original theme park in the country that attaches to “museum”, the urban eye, using art and culture as media to transmit sense of happiness to urban residents and guiding a new fashion featured with museum lifestyle. “G” stands for “glass”. Through diversified interpretation of this theme, it continues to share the infinite possibilities of glass, to fulfil the beautiful dream. The “+” sign does not only mean adding up in the physical sense, but to have active chemical reaction between the various architecture unit with different features in the Park and the magical element of “glass”, thus bursting out refreshing charm. The Park proudly owns the splendid Shanghai Museum of Glass, artist studio, allowing the public to merge into the rich artistic atmosphere. It also has the Kids Museum of Glass characterized with “cool play cool dazzling cool fun”, allowing both adults and children to discover the infinite fun brought by glass, and to enjoy the relaxed family leisure time. There is also elegant KILN club, the Italian-style Murano restaurant, cozy and delightful museum café shop, factory store and fine gift shop that have world-known brands, to contribute flavor and glamour to beautiful life. To integrate art into life, to make happier life, this is the concept that the whole Park expects to pas to the urban residents.

They took the chance appreciating the splendid sights of different spaces of the new wings of Phase II during the four-hour colorful experience, presenting the brand new image of “new park new hope, glassy heart happy heart”. Rainbow Chapel, Banquet Hall, N1 Art Office Tower, these three new wings born inside the park integrate old industrial factory and creative design, by perfect combination of “new” and “old”, it presents an architecture space with unique feature. No matter it’s to organize a personalized romantic wedding ceremony, to participate in a high-level artistic culture activity or to strive for personal career, we expect that these three brand new dreams can bring strong sense of happiness to the city residents, enabling the museum lifestyle to fully extend. Here it will give birth to a brand new dream about glass, expecting everyone with dream in heart will share wonderful life with G+ Park. This is both a mission and a common vision for G+ Park people.

The three new constructions inside the park that were unveiled on May 17, 2015 were only tiny dreams of the G+Park. In today’s post-industrial era, people will no longer only desire for material satisfaction, but to continuously pursue spiritual happiness, with incessant pursuance to happy life. By taking the chance of continuous construction of G+ Park, embracing full humanitarian care, we expect that in the future, urban residents will come here to appreciate art, celebrate newly born, commemorate love, strive for career and even enjoy retirement life, extending museum life style and enjoying full-fledged sense of happiness in life.
