“艺术”与“设计”,已逐渐成为了当今玻璃材质的两种不同创作手法。“艺术”与“设计”不论高下,不分伯仲,都有着浓烈的传达与沟通意图。不同的是,“艺术”在于表达脑海中的混乱迷惘,而“设计”则在于梳理这些奇思妙想。“艺术”与“设计”超越语言,并不需要特别的解释或是阐述。
“探索玻璃的无限可能”是上海玻璃博物馆发展的永恒命题。自2011年开幕以来,博物馆的馆藏品数量飞速增长,其中包含了众多的玻璃设计作品。这些优秀的作品需要一个专属的得体展示空间。同时,经历了两届的“Keep it Glassy”国际创意玻璃设计展项目后,我们也欣喜地发现,越来越多的公众逐渐接触了解、进而认可到:出彩的设计可以改变玻璃的平凡面貌。
相比于上海玻璃博物馆现有场馆以黑色为主的风格基调,强调内敛含蓄的沉浸式艺术氛围,设计新馆则更加明朗开放,拥抱日光,成为创意生长又浑然天成的展示舞台。两处场馆如同“黑夜”与“白天”一样,关联互生又各富秉性,通过一座流光溢彩的“虹之桥”紧密相连,为观众带去美好的视觉享受与参观体验。原本的破旧厂房,在保留下其工业气质的同时,经历一次次蜕变中,最终破茧而出造就了令人激动的设计新馆。这些来自不同文化背景、拥有各异求学经历的设计师所带来的近40件截然不同的作品,不仅展示了玻璃这种材质所蕴含特性的广度和无限可能,也同样揭示了当代玻璃设计中超脱材质本身,跨界其他材料的创意,关注周遭社会问题与自然环境的体认。
玻璃,自被人类发现以来,已经走过了一条漫漫长路。来自世界各地的设计师与艺术家,一再地为其在形态及颜色上的广阔包容力和塑造性赞叹不已,并在与玻璃的“火热碰撞”中赋予以新奇而迷人的独特性。设计师的创作,让玻璃这一个古老的材质成为演绎当代语境下更为抽象观念的一种载体。上海玻璃博物馆借由设计新馆,将全新揭开探索玻璃方方面面的最新篇章,向广大观众展现玻璃的无穷魅力,认知玻璃这种看似平凡材质本身的不平凡。
Art and design have gradually become the two different kinds of creative methods for glass as material. They both have strong intentions to communicate and deliver. The difference is that art tries to express the chaos and confusion of minds, while design tends to sort out those creative and wild ideas. Art and design require no special explanation or elaboration. They are beyond language.
“Explore the infinite possibilities of glass” is an eternal proposition in the development of Shanghai Museum of Glass. Since its opening in 2011, the museum’s collections have been growing at a rapid speed, including a lot of glass design works. These works require a proper space to display. Meanwhile, after two sessions of international creative glass design project “Keep it Glassy,” we delightedly discover that more and more public begin to understand and approve that, excellent design can change the plain appearance of glass.
The new Design Wing came into being on May 15, 2016, the fifth anniversary of Shanghai Museum of Glass. The existing venue of Shanghai Museum of Glass focus in black tone and implicit immersive art atmosphere, while the new Design Wing is more open and sunnier, a creative but natural art stage. The two venues are like “night” and “day,” associated but alternative, closely linked by a glittering Golden Fire Bridge, bringing audiences excellent visual enjoyment and visiting experience.
As another permanent display venue for the Shanghai Museum of Glass, the Design Wing collects classic and pioneer works from numerous renowned designers home and abroad, in its nearly 2000-square-meter concise and fluent space, with a consistent aesthetic factors and display principles, as well as infinite passion towards glass.The nearly 40 different works from designers with different cultural backgrounds and education experiences, show out the characteristics of breadth and infinite possibilities of glass as material, but also reveal that contemporary glass design transcends the material itself, crossover with other materials and paying attention to current social issues and natural environment.
